Once upon a time, in a vast and lush green forest, there lived a wise tortoise whom everyone respected. His name was Kavi. Kavi was old but very knowledgeable.  Kavi lived by the edge of a great lake. His home was hidden inside an old log covered in moss. The animals of the forest loved visiting him because Kavi always told interesting stories and gave wise counsel. One day, a big argument broke out in the forest. The rabbit, Tikur, accidentally took the acorns that the squirrel, Mirmir, had collected to his own burrow. Mirmir was very angry about this, and the animals of the forest were divided. Some supported Tikur, while others sided with Mirmir. The argument grew louder, and the animals started shouting at each other. Finally, they all decided to go see Kavi. The wise tortoise asked everyone to listen carefully and then began to speak slowly: “My dear friends, first of all, we must stay calm. Tıkır, did you take Mırmır’s acorns on purpose, or was it a mistake?” Tıkır bowed his head in sadness and said, “It was not my fault. I only picked up the ones that had fallen to the ground and took them to my burrow, thinking they were mine.”Kavi smiled and turned to Mırmır: “Mırmır, my friend, we now see that Tıkır made a mistake. But would you rather forgive this mistake, or continue fighting?”Mırmır thought for a moment and then sighed: “I know my friend didn’t do this with bad intentions. But I was very upset when I lost my acorns.” Kavi nodded and spoke wisely: “We all make mistakes from time to time. What matters is that we acknowledge our mistakes and learn to forgive one another.” Tıkır immediately stood up and promised Mırmır that he would collect plenty of acorns for him. Mırmır forgave him, and the two old friends made peace. From that day on, whenever there was a disagreement in the forest, the animals remembered Kavi’s wise words. The greatest lesson Kavi had taught them was about friendship and understanding.
