Zeus, the God of gods, married. He held a grand wedding. Preparations went on for days! It was sure to be the most luxurious event of all time. Zeus invited all animals too. Each animal attended and brought a kind gift for God. As the turtle was absent. Zeus asked the other animals where the turtle could be, but no one could answer.
The next day, Zeus found the turtle. "Why do not you accept my invitation?" asked, "all animals was there having fun. Only you were not there."
"I have a great house and I like being there," said the humble turtle.
Zeus became very angry.
"How can he prefers home to my wedding?" Zeus simmer. "If you like your house both then henceforth take it back!" God commanded angrily.
So now we learn: some people prefer luxury modesty.
