There was a turtle near a river. He has been living there for many years. He was maintaining good lifestyle. He was afraid that one day other animals can find this place and take away river water from him and throw him away from river.
One day, a Giraffe saw that river. He came to bank of river to drink water. Turtle saw him and said: "Hey, Giraffe. This is my river, get out of here". "Oh my dear Turtle, I am not here to hurt you, I just want to drink little water," said Giraffe. After sensing no harm to him, turtle allowed him to drink water and said "we are friends now". Turtle and Giraffe became friends forever. They drank water and danced together.
Another day, a lion came near river. He was looking very angry. Turtle and Giraffe were drinking water and were dancing together. After seeing Lion, they both were scared. Turtle managed to seem stronger and said to Lion: "Hey Lion. I know you are king of jungle and have all rights to get anything you want. Please tell us why you are here". Lion said," Oh Turtle and Giraffe. Don't fear from me. I will not eat you and will also not harm this river. I am here, just to drink some water and also, want to be your friend. After hearing such nice words, Turtle was happy. He made Lion also his friend. Giraffe also became friend to Lion.
Another day, a monkey came near river and he also asked to drink the water. Turtle, by now learned that sharing is fun. He allowed monkey to drink water. They all danced together.
Next day, a dinosaur came near river. Turtle was scared. " Please dinosaur, go away from here and leave us alone. It's our river", pleaded turtle. "Oh my dear turtle, don't be scared of me. I want to be your friend, drink some water, and play with you", said dinosaur. After hearing such nice words, turtle was very happy. "Oh, wow. But on one condition", said turtle. "what is that", asked dinosaur. "Can me and my friend get a ride on your back", requested turtle. Dinosaur couldn't control his laugh. 😆. "Why not ! It will be a lot of fun", he screamed.

Turtle, Giraffe, Lion, Monkey, and Dinosaur became good friends. They all learned two lessons: this world has enough water for every one and sharing is fun 😊!
Moral of the story is that there are plenty of things in this world. Share it with others and enjoy their company as well.
