One day, papa tutrle, mamma turtle and turtle junior set off to go on a picnic, about 1km away. After 10 long years they reach the picnic spot and sit down to eat. As mamma turtle opens the picnic basket and takes out the meatballs, she realizes that she forgot to pack the water. She tells papa turtle and they decide to send junior to go back and bring some water. Before he sets off, junior says: - OK I’m going but if you set one hand on those meatballs, I’m not going! Twenty two years pass, and no sign of junior. - I’m going to eat one of those meatballs, I’m getting hungry, says papa turtle. Mamma turtle raises her objections but after a bit she is gives in. Some time later, after they had eaten five meatballs each, junior pops out from behind the shrubs and says: - So much for your promise eh? I'm not getting the water then!
