The Cleaver Turtle

A Starving fox once caught a turtle. But its solid shell prevented the fox from eating it.

Pretending to make things easy for the fox, the turtle suggested to him. "Why not try to first put me in the water for a while to soften me up?"

'That seems to be a pretty good idea,' so thought the fox to himself.

He carried the turtle to a river and immersed it in the water. the turtle swam his way deep down the river till he surfaced in the mid-stream laughing. "Now I hope, the myth related to your cunningness must have shattered by now?"
he taunted.
