The tortoise appealed the swans to find an other lake which would be full of

water. Then he told them to find a strong stick from some place . He also told

them that once they find another lake, they can carry him to the lake with the

help of the stick. He also suggested them that he would hold the stick firmly

with his mouth, while both of them can hold the stick at either end and fly.

The swans flew far and wide in search of a lake. After sometime they found

a lake which had a lot of water in it. They returned to carry the tortoise.

They held the stick from both the ends, and asked Raphail, “Dear Raphail,

hold the stick firmly with your mouth and make sure to keep your mouth

shut all the time. You must not speak or you will fall off.”

Finally, they started flying.
