Three tortoises once decided that they will head to some other place as its boring to be at same place for so long and they packed their food and off they go.
On there way there way they found a desert and they traveled for 6 months continuously and still the desert seems to be an unending one. They thought of taking a break and have some nice food before going ahead. But suddenly they realized that they forgot to bring water.
The eldest one declare that we need water after having food so one of us will go back and fetch should go. Nobody wants to go as they fear in his absence food will be over. Finally It was decided with love and force that the youngest one should go. The other two tortoise promised that until he returns no one will touch the food. And off he goes to fetch the water....
Six months passed ... the youngest tortoise didn't return.
1 year passed .. the youngest tortoise didn't return and that left worried faces of the other two.
2 year passed.. and the youngest tortoise didn't return and that was real test of patience for the other two. They assume that the young one might not return now..
And with reluctance they thought that they will have food without water and then search for water in their onward journey.
And as soon as they unwrap the food and put there hands on it... the youngest one jump from nowhere and said, "You bastards, I knew that you will eat the food in my absence that is why I was hiding behind the bush and watching you two from the beginning itself ."
