“June told me she saw Walter the turtle rushing down the creek toward the Montys. Walter usually “walks the beat” real slow, checking in the tall grass along the banks for bugs and making sure there’s no mischief going on, a real laid-back fellow. But not today. He was really making tracks.”
“’What’s the big hurry?” she asked him.
‘The rabbit’s after me!’ Walter answered.
‘Rabbit? What rabbit?’ June looked all around. There were no rabbits in this park, right? right?
‘Haven’t you heard of The Tortoise and the Hare?’ Walter asked.
‘Of COURSE I’ve heard…’ but when she stopped looking for the rabbit and, “WALTER!” he was grinning and running away.
