Tis a funny parable. I wonder what tortoise looked like before he was rough and broken. It is funny to think of Mrs. Tortoise, and you wonder why she wasn't invited to the banquet. You also wonder who the people of the sky were, and how they got kola nuts in the sky. Perhaps the birds brought them as gifts. It's funny to think of a tortoise as a widely-travelled man when tortoises' are notorious for being slow! Perhaps it was an old tortoise. I wonder if Tortoise's wife was also a tortoise or if he took a different wife. She probably was not a bird at least. Could she have been treated like a man as well?
