it has a soft shell
the moral of the story is 1) we should not the advantage of other's kindness 2) we should not be a dumb as such as tortoise's wife (she blindly trusted a stranger and beliveed on a message that did not even make sense) 3) greed is never good
no, because it has a hard outer shell

The red-bellied turtle actually has a hard shell, as do all turtles. The shell of a turtle is made up of bony plates covered by a layer of keratin. This shell provides protection and support for the turtle's body.
A turtle's shell is designed for protection. Each species of turtle has a different type of shell. Turtles that live on land have taller, boxier shells that are thicker. Turtles that live in the water have shorter, thinner shells that slide through the water more easily.
The shell is hard.
no that means they have 'soft shell' that it to a vet asap!
Soft shell crabs are soft and are eaten with the entire crab. Soft shell crabs are actually hard shell crabs that have shed their shells to allow for growth. Shells do not grow with the crab. Crabs retain a soft shell when they shed their hard shells; then that soft shells begins to harden-up as the crab grows.
Turtle eggs (and tortoise eggs) can be either hard or soft-shelled, depending on the species.
The hard shell protects the very soft body of the mollusk.
To effectively clean tortoise shell, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the shell. For stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but be sure to dry the shell thoroughly afterwards. Regularly dusting and cleaning your tortoise shell will help maintain its appearance and longevity.

Have a soft body with a hard outer shell
It depends on where you buy it from and if you are getting a hard or soft shell. I personally got a hard shell case for $100. A soft can cost about $60 or someplace in the teens depending on where you get it.
Mollusks have soft body and hard shells but some don't even have shells.
There are two ways, you can tell visually by seeing if there is any sign of wrinkles on the shell, and if you cant tell visually, then just lightly poke the shell. If it gives way a little bit, you know it has a soft shell.
