Tortoise Cat Walking The Big One
Tortoise Cat helps feed neighborhood critters and birds
Tortoise Cat: I helped the Big One put nuts and seeds outside in the snow for Sparrow, Squirrel, and Bunny!
Chameleon: Uh...OK. Sure you did. How wonderful!
Tortoise Cat: But why do our critter buddies all scatter when I come out to play?
Chameleon: Play? I thought you said you were helping the Big One!
Tortoise Cat: Helping is play isn't it?
Chameleon: What a beautiful outlook you have! Helping is play. I like that.
Tortoise Cat: But why do Sparrow, Squirrel, and Rabbit dash and fly away when I show up?
Chameleon: Well...I'll need to ponder that a while. When I come up with a good answer I'll tell you.
Tortoise Cat: Oh. OK. Oh look! Everyone is back already, chowing down! If I hide here at the door I can watch.
Chameleon: Well from the way you are swishing your tail, it looks as if you'd be chasing them if you were out there!
Tortoise Cat: Never! Not I...These paws don't touch snow or ice! Unless...
