In the first story, we learn about  how tortoise got his shell. He wasn\'t always a slow moving shelled animal. He used to be fast and strong and handsome. But because he was late, he got locked out of the party.

In the second story, a hunter finds a beautiful tortoise singing a mesmerizing song. He wanted to take her home, but she would only go with him on one promise: that he would not tell anyone.
