Ode to Mr. Turtle

Dear Mr. Turtle:

 

As you know we are releasing you today.  We hope we have selected the right pond. Unfortunately, communication is a tad difficult.

 

I’m just happy we found you when we did.  You were wandering between all those cars in the parking lot.  I was definitely afraid you would get run over. You were picked up and brought you into the store.  They found a “display case” for you and we added water. When we got you home, we added a rock and started feeding you.

 

Again, sorry if the diet wasn’t totally what you were into.  We were guessing at best. Because we found you on a rainy day, we held you away from the pond in case there were any environmental problems.

 

I suppose I should apologize on behalf of all humans for that too.  We are causing a lot of environmental problems all over the place from climate change to algae blooms.  I hope you are not overly inconvenienced.

 

Good luck in your future endeavors.

 

Sincerely,

 

Robert T. Oliveira
