Whenever Hari was very sad or very happy, he played his flute.
Today he was very sad for he had got his school report and he had not done well at all!
He knew his mother would be very angry.
He wished he had listened to her when she told him to study hard.
Why are you looking so glum?"Hari heard a voice.
When he looked up, he saw a turtle approaching him. Hari narrated his plight.
So I've decided not to show my report to my mother," he concluded.
That's not the right thing to do. You must tell your mother the truth and promise her that you'll do better next time
It's never too late to mend your ways, said the turtle. "And don't worry," continued the turtle, "I am a magical turtle. I'll help you with your studies.
But only if you play the flute for me every evening." Hari was delighted to hear this. He promised to come to the river every day and play the flute.
