THIS AFTERNOON AS I WAS SITTING IN THE THE SUN ON THE FRONT PORCH, I SAW A TURTLE, A GOOD SIZED ONE, COME CRAWLING UP THE SIDEWALK AT FAIRWAY OAKS.HE STOPPED ,STUCK HIS HEAD STRAIGHT UP AND KEPT IT POINTED UPWARD FOR A FEW MINUTES... THEN HE MADE A 90 DEGREE TURN AND WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO HOUSE NO,48. HE TRIED AND TRIED TO GET UP THE CURB BUT JUST COULD NOT MAKE IT. I THOUGHT HE WAS LOST AND STUCK HIS HEAD UP IN THE AIR. TO FIND THE NEAREST WATER.
I WALKED OVER TO HIM AND AS SOON AS HE SENSED MY PRESENCE HE PULLED HIS HEAD AND HIS LEGS INTO HIS SHELL AND JUST CLOSED UP.
SO I PICKED HIM UP AND SET HIM DOWN ON THE YARD OF HOUSE NO 48 AND RETURNED ACROSS THE STREET. AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE OPENED HIS SHELL AND BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. HE CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD TO THE POND ABOUT 100 FEET AHEAD.
I'M SURE THAT WAS WHERE HE WANTED TO GO.
I HOPE HE REMEMBERS MY KIND DEED. I ALSO HOPE WE MEET AGAIN.
