Some time back, three turtles had been planning on going for a picnic at the lagoon nearby. They had their food packed comprising of bottles of coke, cheese sandwiches and other delectable. The three of them Ben, Girth and the youngest Billy set out for the picnic. They took three days to get there. They set their picnic table and food. Suddenly it dawned to them that they had forgotten the can openers, of which without they couldn’t have their picnic. They asked Billy to go back and collect them.
“No,” said Billy, “If I go, you’re going to eat the sandwiches.” They argued with him and still he insisted that they were going to eat the sandwiches if he left. Seeing that he wouldn’t win the debate, he agreed to leave.
Billy would take three days to get home and another three to get back. Three days elapsed, then four, then five. The sixth say came and went. Billy can’t be perfectly on time, he may be a day late, they mused, all the while never touching the sandwiches though they were famished. The seventh, eighth then ninth day came and went and Billy was still no way to be found. Now it was clearly evident Billy was not coming. The two decided to eat the sandwiches and go looking after him. As they were about to plant their teeth into the bread, Billy jumped up from behind a tree and shouted;
“Seeee!! You’re eating the sandwiches, I’m not going!”
