You nervously bounce your way towards me

'Hi'

You said

'Please tell me you're a fast runner.'

You say pleadingly

I shook my head

'Sorry to burst your bubble but i come from a family of turtles.'

Your face dropped

As if you lost all hope

'But turtles never give up, right?'

I say trying to cheer you up

'How can you say that?'

You frown

'That's what i learned from the story of The Rabbit and The Turtle.'
