It was a bit funny because when the tortoise fell off it didn't have a shiny shell anymore it was all bumpy!

The two geese were kind and good listeners. The Tortoise learnt his lesson. He didn't keep his promise. It was fiction, my favourite character is the geese. I would recommend it to my friends.
