Turtle: "What happened, my boy?"
Boy: "I failed again."
Turtle: "Are you okay, my boy?"
Boy: "I thought I would be, but I’m not."
Turtle: "It's okay to be sad sometimes."
Boy: "Nothing seems to be working like I planned. I’m just tired of this."
Turtle: listens intently
Boy: "Aren’t you worried?"
Turtle: "Of what, my boy?"
Boy: "You live longer than me, so aren’t you concerned about tomorrow?"
Turtle: side eyes "Hm... Are you teasing me that I’m slow?"
Boy: awkwardly "I didn’t mean that... huh..."
Turtle: smiles "Well, I don’t know about tomorrow, but I’m expecting something today."
Boy: "What is it?"
Turtle: "Appreciation."
Boy: "From whom?"
Turtle: "From myself."
Boy: confused
Turtle: "If everything went as we planned, there’d be no fun. As long as I live, I just want to embrace today’s struggles and find joy in them, no matter how slow it may seem.
"Boy: "I think I get what you mean... I’m just confused about tomorrow and forgot to appreciate today."
Turtle: "Remember, appreciating today can make the journey more meaningful. Tomorrow will take care of itself."
