Good Morning Everyone,
Still all of this talk when nothing can be done except wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait...Opps, sorry, fingers got stuck! Sometimes you can watch something so close for so long that it almost kills you!! The sit and wait, and trusting a higher authority are by far the best avenue to take sometimes.........
Todays Story:
Three turtles, Joe, Steve, and Poncho, decide to go on a
picnic. So, Joe packs the picnic basket with cookies,
bottled sodas, and sandwiches. The trouble is, the picnic
site is, 10 miles away, so the turtles take 10 whole days
to get there. By the time they do arrive, everyone's
whipped.
Joe takes the stuff out of the basket, one by one. He takes
out the sodas and says, "Alright, Steve, gimme the bottle
opener."
"I didn't bring the bottle opener," Steve says. 'I thought
you packed it."
Joe gets worried. He turns to Poncho. "Poncho, do you have
the bottle opener?"
Naturally, Poncho doesn't have it, so the turtles are stuck
ten miles away from home without soda. Joe & Steve beg
Poncho to turn back home and retrieve it, but Poncho flatly
refuses, knowing that they'll eat everything by the time he
gets back.
Somehow, after about two hours, the turtles manage to
convince Poncho to go, swearing on their great-grand
turtles' graves that they won't touch the food. So, Poncho
sets off down the road, slow and steadily.
Twenty days pass, but no Poncho. Joe and Steve are hungry
and puzzled, but a promise is a promise. Another day passes
and still no Poncho, but a promise is a promise. After three
more days pass without Poncho in sight, Steve starts getting
restless.
"I NEED FOOD!" he says with a hint of dementia in his voice.
"NO!" Joe retorts. "We promised."
Five more days pass and the two are near starvation. Near
death, the two turtles weakly lift the lid to get a
sandwich. As they open their mouths to eat, Poncho pops out
behind a rock, and says, "HA! I knew it. And just for that, I'm not going!"
Have a great day everyone!!
