[b][/b]Whilst Growing up, we all heard stories about how wise the tortoise was and how he was able to conquer some situations according to the tales though. I'm pretty sure you heard some of such stories too. Now, my question is... Why Does the tortoise get all the Credits?, why not the serpent or monkey e.t.c

it is so because our forefathers chose to give them the character in their story telling and folklore.

They said cos its wise; Tortoise is kinda dumb fa.u remember d one dat he went to his friends house and d friends wife was cooking,he(tortoise) decided to steal d food from d boiling pot nd guess where he hid d hot food,in his cap.what sort of idiot hides hot food in his cap and then wears it,doesnt he know that its goin to burn its head? they say thats why its bald,stupid creature

I'm talking about it's physical features. Tortoise is slow in nature and we sometimes classify slow, elderly people to be wise.

Tortoise is also recognized as the animal that lives longest. There are facts that one specific tortoise lived above 255 years.
