Onome Nnorom and Orohoghene Nnorom

There was famine in the animal kingdom, but there was plenty food in heaven above. Tortoise and the other animals were invited to a feast.

1

Tortoise begged for feathers from the other animals. He told the animals that they all needed new names for the feast

2

Tortoise then said, his name was all of you

3

When they arrived at the feast, they were given a lot of food

4

Tortoise ate all the food alone, which made the other animals very angry

5

They collected their feathers from Tortoise and Tortoise didn't know how to return back from the foreign land

6

Tortoise told the animals to tell his wife to bring out all the soft materials in his house to enable him jump down from up

7

Tortoise saw his wife putting down things, he didn't know that the animals had told his wife to bring out hard things in the house

8

He jumped from up and scattered into pieces. That is the reason behind tortoise having uneven shells
