TURTLES

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Hey Steeminas,

I got a story to tell you!!!

Read below.......

 A turtle family went on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow  about things, took seven years to prepare for their outings. Finally the  turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. 

 During the second year of their  journey they found it. For about six months, they cleaned up the area,  unpacked the picnic basket and completed the arrangements. 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 the little turtle left.

Three years passed and the  little turtle had not returned. Five years...six  years...then in the  seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain  his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and began to unwrap a  sandwich.

At that point the little turtle  suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, SEE I knew you wouldn't  wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt.


MORAL OF THE STORY: 

Some of us waste our time  waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned  about what others are doing that we don't do anything ourselves.!
