The unhappy bird begged his captor to allow him to bid his friend the tortoise

to see his friend held ____(5)____. The tortoise asked the bird catcher to let
the peacock go; but he laughed at the request, saying that it was his means of
livelihood. The tortoise then said, “If I give you an expensive present, will
you let my friend go ?” “Certainly,” answered the bird-catcher. Whereupon, the
tortoise ____(6)____ into the water and in a few seconds came up with a
handsome pearl, which he presented to the bird-catcher. This was beyond the

the bird-catcher came back and told the tortoise that he thought he had not
paid enough for the release of his friend, and ____(7)____, that unless a match
to the pearl was obtained for him, he would catch the peacock again. The
tortoise, who had already ____(8)____ his friend to shift to a distant jungle

greediness of the bird-catcher prevented his reasoning and he ____(10)____ gave
the pearl to the clever tortoise. The tortoise swam out with it saying, “I am
no fool to give you another pearl, you’re greediness has left you with nothing.
