Shell-Neck, Slim and Grim

For this story, I don't think I took away the same thoughts that others would get from it. How other people would see it as the turtles fault for not obeying the birds and letting go of the stick, which lead him to his death by resulting in landing on the stick. I think it was the birds fault for letting go first. Obviously, they were not good friends to the turtle for letting him fall to his death by talking to each other. If it weren't for the birds who were holding on to the poor turtle he would still be alive. I don't believe that they kept their part of the agreement.
