Slow of Foot


Timothy the turtle was not very fast. In fact, he was the slowest in his group of friends.
But his lack of speed wasn't just because of his heavy shell and short legs. No, Timothy moved slowly because his mind never stopped racing.
He was always thinking. Of what to eat, the names and qualities of various plants, what he should get his best friend Suzie Hare for her upcoming birthday, and so much more.
With so many thoughts filling his he, Timothy couldn't risk moving too fast.
For whenever he did, he usually ran into things.
And so Timothy contented himself in being slow of foot, but quick of mind.
