Turtles

Many animals were drowned.

Big Turtle called, Who will offer to go down for the Earth? No one offered himself until at last Old Toad said she would try.

All the animals laughed.

Old Toad was very small and very ugly.

Big Turtle looked her over, but he said, Well, you try then.

down went old toad at last they could not see her at all though she went down slowly then they waited for her to come back they waited and waited and waited they began to say she will never come back then they saw a little bubble break on the water big turtle said let us swim there that is where old toad is coming up so it was done then old toad came slowly to the surface close to big turtle she opened her mouth and spat out a few grains of earth that fell on big turtle's shell old toad was done for too small turtle at once began to rub the earth around the edge of big turtle's shell it began to grow into an island The animals were looking on as it grew.

Then the island became large enough for the woman to live on, so she stepped onto the earth.

The island grew larger and larger until it became as large as the world is today.

Sarangan Island, also known as Turtle Island, in South Bali.

They then carefully lifted the turtles using blue cloths and transported them by small truck to the shoreline.

Marine police officers in Bali foiled an attempted smuggling of 22 green sea turtles known by the scientific name Chelonia mitis.

in the waters off Serangan Island after receiving a report from residents who suspected sea turtle smuggling activity in the area.

Turtle species in Indonesia have been legally protected under conservation and fisheries laws since 1990.

But he caught no eels.

Old Man Turtle was visiting Woodpecker at this same time.

He took pity on Rabbit, tied the width round his own body, and dived down into the lake, coming up with a backload of eels.

Rabbit thought, Well, I can do that.

Turtle is a very good old fellow.

I guess I will ask him to come over to see me.

So he said, Come to see me where I live.

Old Man Turtle went to see Rabbit, but he is such a slow traveler that when Rabbit saw him coming, he thought, I shall have plenty of time to get the eels ready.

And O'Bale is spelled like O, and then second word is B-A-O-G-H-I-L-L. Poster also has, as a little note, also missing her tortoiseshell cat.

Response to the name, Turtle.

I show my friends the flyer, and I say...

Missing cat.

Yeah, while you're making your way to the swimming pool, you hear...

Meow!

Turtle?

Coming from a doorway.

Oh, yeah.

Turtle fucking.

Nobody goes fucking somebody gets whacked.

It's probably really good for the helmets, too.

Some of our bigger puppets.

Warlord Turtle still had a very large presence, obviously.

Yeah.

And then there were new special guests.

But, like, at the end of the day, I just think people need to treat us better.

They need to treat all monsters better.

Turtles should not be subservient to humans.

We need to exist in a world alone.

They made you write a book like, Hey, put some, put your thoughts together.

And yeah, i synthesized the parable of the tortoise in the hair into this thought intensity takes the lead but consistency wins the race i i put these dots together this morning talking to nick this was the beginning for me in eighth grade of learning how to live on a long-term time frame orientation and that parable of the tortoise in the hair shows it toward it and there's other uh elements of wisdom in there The tortoise takes off running really hard and everyone says, oh, the turtle's an idiot.

But you know what the turtle is? Turtle's consistent.

The turtle just keeps going, right? And you need a plan for your growth, for your development, for your outcome of not just measurable, not just a momentary success, but a plan for your ultimate greatness in your life where you can say, I can keep going on this.

I can be consistent in this.
