Kummasutta   A Turtle  
Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññatarasmiṁ udakarahade mahākummakulaṁ ciranivāsi ahosi.  
Once upon a time in a certain lake there was a large family of turtles that had lived there for a long time.  
Atha kho, bhikkhave, aññataro kummo aññataraṁ kummaṁ etadavoca:  
Then one of the turtles said to another,  
‘mā kho tvaṁ, tāta kumma, etaṁ padesaṁ agamāsī’ti.  
‘My dear turtle, don’t you go to that place.’  
Agamāsi kho, bhikkhave, so kummo taṁ padesaṁ.  
But that turtle did go to that place,  
Atha kho, bhikkhave, so kummo yena so kummo tenupasaṅkami.  
Then that turtle went back to the other turtle.  
Addasā kho, bhikkhave, so kummo taṁ kummaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.  
When the other turtle saw her coming off in the distance,  
‘kacci tvaṁ, tāta kumma, na taṁ padesaṁ agamāsī’ti?  
‘My dear turtle, I hope you didn’t go to that place!’  
‘Kacci panāsi, tāta kumma, akkhato anupahato’ti?  
‘But my dear turtle, I hope you’re not hurt or injured!’  
‘Tagghasi, tāta kumma, khato, taggha upahato.  
‘Indeed, my dear turtle, you’re hurt and injured!  

“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, puriso mahāsamudde ekacchiggaḷaṁ yugaṁ pakkhipeyya. Tatrāpissa kāṇo kacchapo. So vassasatassa vassasatassa accayena sakiṁ sakiṁ ummujjeyya.   “Mendicants, suppose a person was to throw a yoke with a single hole into the ocean. And there was a one-eyed turtle who popped up once every hundred years.
