Why the turtle is bald

Long ago, the fictional turtle had a really long hair which he loved to style everyday.

One day, he decided to embark on a journey at a distant land. Because he was too slow, night befell him. He decided to seek shelter at an old woman's hut.

When he got there, the old woman was very welcoming. She even had a pot of porridge on fire. The turtle was glad to join her for dinner. The porridge sweeter than anything the turtle had ever eaten. He wanted me more but didn't know how to tell the woman within sounding greedy. He had to keep quiet.

When it was time to sleep, the old woman prepared a comfortable bed for the turtle. He was very happy but uncomfortable. He needed to eat that porridge again.

When he saw that the old woman had gone to bed, he sneaked out to steal some porridge. The old woman was a light sleeper, so she caught him. He claimed that he only wanted to urinate and so the old woman went back to bed. He could not steal the porridge.

The following day, the woman asked the turtle to stay for breakfast which he agreed to do. The woman only had to warm the porridge. When she went to the backyard to get more wood, the turtle opened the pot which was already on fire to steal some porridge. It was too hot, so he had to put them in his hat. When he saw that the woman was already coming back, he immediately wore the hat.

The porridge was too hot and soon began to burn his head. He rushed to leave but the woman insisted that he ate breakfast with her.

Throughout the breakfast period, the turtle was in great pain. When he eventually left the old woman's hut, the porridge in his hat has already turned cold. He took off his hat and to his dismay, his hair fell off along with the already cold porridge.

Because the burn he suffered on his head was great, Mr Turtle's hair never grew again. Serves him right for being greedy.
