Anger Gives Enemies Power to Keep Us Where They Want Us To Be - The Tortoise and The Pig

One day, Tortoise asked his friend Pig to lend him some money to buy clothes for his wife as his wife wouldn’t let him be otherwise and promised to pay back in two weeks.
Two weeks later, Pig went to ask tortoise for his money, but Tortoise pleaded to extend some time for him as he’s sick and spent his money on medicine.
Days later, Pig returned to request his money but Tortoise hid and told his wife to pretend he wasn’t around. Angrily, Pig went away, but told Tortoise wife to inform her husband that he’d return the next day.
Tortoise devised a plan and asked his wife to cover him with mud and pretend to use him as grinding stone to pound medicine.
When Pig returned and was informed that Tortoise is still sick, he insisted on seeing him, but she kept pounding. This annoyed pig so much that he took the grinding stone and threw it over the fence. As Tortoise fell, the mud cracked open and he cleaned himself and entered the compound.
When Tortoise was told about the incident, he concluded that Pig will get his money only if he returns the grinding stone.
