Produktbeschreibung

The reputed trickster Jabuti gets his comeuppance when a jealous Vulture offers to fly the tortoise and his flute to the King of Heaven's festival of song, and wickedly drops his passenger down from the skies. The King of Heaven chastises the vulture and the birds who put Jabuti's smooth shell back together again gain new feathers as their reward.
