When Cheetah grabs Mouse near the top of the hill and runs down the hill with him, he accidentally knocks Tortoise over. Tortoise tumbles down the hill, falls into a river, is kicked out by Hippo, is almost trampled by Elephant and is picked up by Eagle who then accidentally drops him from a great height. Tortoise lands on Cheetah's head. Cheetah drops Mouse and runs away. When Mouse tells the other animals that Tortoise saved him from Cheetah, the other animals ask Tortoise how he managed to save Mouse. Tortoise's answer is hilarious. A fun read with a simple message.
