Thanks to the Stach team, here's my entry.

His Trick Came To An End

The Tortoise and the Lion were best friends in the jungle. With a family of five, made up of his wife and four children ( 3 females and a male), the Tortoise was a great father who take good care of his family from his subsistence farming proceeds. On the other hand, the Lion had ten children ( 6 daughters and 4 sons), with his wife, making eleven people at home. Everything was going well, the Lion was a hunter, complimented by his friend, Tortoise being a farmer. Each time the Lion came back from hunting, he exchanged part of his meat with the Tortoise for yam.
One year, there was famine in the jungle from June, farms were not producing because of drought. Animals were dying, as such, hunting was a no benefit venture. Members of the two families were in great hunger. At a point, the Lion suggested eating their children, which the Tortoise accepted without thinking. It was agreed that both families will be eating one child each day from a chosen family and the next day would be the turn of the next family. The Lion's family was chosen first and the first son devoured.

When it came to the Tortoise's turn, he tricked both families to eat cooked palm fruit remains. This continued, while the Tortoise hide his children till all the Lion's children were eaten.
The Tortoise was not home the day the Lion visited, he heard noise of children coming from the inner room. When he opened the door,behold all of Tortoise's children were inside playing. In total anger, he killed them all. The Tortoise returned home minutes after the Lion has eaten all his children, and realized that his tricks has come to an end.
