A turtles family decide to go on a picnic. Turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place for their outing. During the second year of their journey they found! A place ideal for them at last! For about six month they cleaned up the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangement. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed.
After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition : That no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and thr little turtle left. Three years passed on the little turtle had not returned . Five years…. Six Years… then on the seventh years of his absence, the oldest turtle could not longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwhich.
At the point, the little turtle was suddenly popped out of behind a tree shouting,
“ SEE! I know you couldn’t wait. Now I’m not going to get the salt”.
Some of us waste out time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what other doing that we don’t do anyting ourselves.
