There once lived a Tortoise named Arnold.  Arnold was a peculiar little tortoise.  He was always very curious, and was determined to move faster than he was made out to be.  Despite what anyone else may say, he was the fastest moving tortoise I could ever own.  But it wasn’t his movements that made him so fast, it was his thoughts and determination that made him so speedy.  But one day at one moment, his body could not catch up to his thoughts.  He wanted to move, and move, and move, circling around his tank.  But before he could make that turn to go right at the corner of where the two walls met, he hit his head up against the wall of his tank.  Arnold aspired to be like the fastest cashier everyone knew, instead in the form of a tortoise, but at this one given time, he could not live up to his own standards.  Arnold still tried, and he tried, and he tried, because he was a very determined little Tortoise.  Failure after failure, he still tried.  That’s why till this day, Arnold is my inspiration, and my most beloved friend.
