Yes, I’m taking him for a walk. What’s that? Why, I’ve always liked turtles. About two years ago I was wondering where to get one and someone told me there’s a fellow down near the Sumida River who sells them, so I went to see him, and you know what, he said I could have this one, he was really small then. He’d be a lot older than two, he’d be pretty old I reckon. No, he doesn’t bite. He’s a bit spoiled though. Acts up a bit. What sort is he? He’s a green turtle. What does he eat? Turtle food. What’s his name? Turtle. You know, pets are all the same. Dogs, cats, turtles.
