Two Turtle Jatakas by Ellen Babbit
Both stories mentioned a Turtle
In the story "The Turtle and the King" a turtle's words saves his live, because he was quick with his mind.
In the story "The Turtle and the Geese" a turtle's words end his life because he does not keep his mouth shut when he needs to.
I think these stories created a very unique juxtaposition in which we see that at certain points in our lives keeping our mouths shut can be just as important as saying the right things.
