The story is talking about a turtle that can play the flute. She plays so well that the animals around all like her. But there's a human wants to eat the turtle, so the human lied to turtle that he wanted to hear she play the flute, when the turtle is going to play, the human grabbed the turtle and ran to his hut. Luckily, there are only some children to keep the turtle in the cage, so the turtle played her flute and danced at the same time to attract their attention. Later, the turtle said she need to take a walk to loosen her stiff legs, and she ran into the jungle, hid at the place nobody knows. But sometimes, we can still hear the turtle playing her flute in the forest.
