Once upon a time in Nigeria, there lived a tortoise named Tim who loved to eat yams. One day, while he was munching on a yam, he heard about the tradition of celebrating Chusok in Israel. Tim was fascinated and decided to visit the ancestral synagogue to learn more.

When he arrived, he met a wise old persimmon who told him all about Sukkoth and the importance of honoring their ancestors. Tim was so moved by the tradition that he decided to participate in the celebration.

However, as a tortoise, Tim was not very fast. He struggled to keep up with the others as they danced and sang in the synagogue. But he didn't give up! To everyone's surprise, Tim began to dance in his own slow and steady way, making everyone smile and laugh.

From that day forward, Tim became the star of the Sukkoth celebration, entertaining everyone with his unique style of dancing. And every year, the people of Israel honored their ancestors by retelling the story of Tim the tortoise and his love for yams, tradition, and the spiritual significance of Sukkoth.
