Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday we took two of our grandsons to a friend's house to meet his tortoise. The tortoise is huge, and very amiable, and we got to feed him his dinner of veggies and fruits. He has a big shelter with a pad and heating lamp, and a good sized yard fenced in. The boys were delighted, and even the 20 month old was fearless. They petted his neck and touched his shell. We then walked around the terraced yard, saw the fountain and pool and when we came back around the younger boy opened the tortoise's gate by himself and walked right in. We had to be careful he wouldn't stick his hand out and be accidentally bitten, as happened to my friend one time. The boys arrived home triumphant, and we were relieved no mishaps had occured. We had an adventure, and have the photos to prove it!
