the tortoise exclaimed, “what? i barely see any.”

the villager said, “they’re all over the village.”

the tortoise said, “my wife and i are the only tortoises in the village.”

the villager said, “what are you talking about? there’s one right there.”

“that’s not a tortoise.”

“of course it is.”

“that’s a rock.”

“a rock?”

“yes, a rock.”

“he’s just hiding in his shell.”
