为什么乌龟的背壳是不平整的

1 从他妻子们的那些小木屋里远远地传来的低声细语，时不时地被歌声打断，奥康瓦听到了，这是妻子同各自的孩子在讲民间故事。爱克蔚菲和她的女儿，爱金玛，坐在一块小地毯上。现在，轮到爱克蔚菲讲故事了。霎时，低声细语静了下来，所有的眼睛都转向她们最喜欢的故事能手。

2 “很久以前”，她开始讲道，“所有的鸟儿都被邀请到天上赴宴。它们非常高兴，开始为这盛大的日子做准备。它们用颜料把自己的身体涂成深红色并画上漂亮的图案。

3 “乌龟看到了所有这些准备活动，并很快了解了事情的来龙去脉。动物界里发生的任何事都逃不过他的眼睛，（因为）他狡黠无比，诡计多端。他一听说这一天上的盛宴，对此不禁垂涎三尺。那些日子正在闹饥荒，乌龟已经有两个月没好好吃一顿饭了。他的身体就象一段枯柴棍在空荡荡的躯壳里辘辘作响。于是他稳扎稳打地开始计划如何能到天上去。”

4 “但是他没有翅膀呀，”爱金玛说。

5 “别性急，”她母亲回答道，“故事（的关键）就在这里。乌龟没有翅膀，但他去找鸟儿们，请求能跟他们一起去。”

6 “‘我们太了解你了，’鸟儿们听了他的请求后说道。‘你诡计多端并且忘恩负义。如果我们答应你，你马上就会施展诡计。我们老早就把你看透了。’
