You'd imagine a average little girl with a soaring imagination, and the joy of the happiest soul. Playing all day long, doing this, doing that, and as a little girl would be clueless to deep things of this world. Here's a story. One day, the little girl was playing outside, and then she saw a turtle slowly moving on the ground. Tilting her head to the side and curiosity flowing through her, she slowly walked over to the turtle. Looking down on the tiny turtle, she heard the turtle speak, "probably gonna say something like, you silly turtle, why are you moving in a area you can easily get stepped on? You are a turtle after all." The little girl felt a little confused by this. This girl never thought just because it was a turtle it couldn't move faster or that it had no other capabilities. Turtle or not, there was more to this being than that. The little girl finally said, "no? Why judge you, you're no different from any other creature, or even me. Who says just because turtles go slow that one day one can't go faster than a speeding jet. I can't judge you physically, or what you are because what you are is more than your appearance, and "list" of all already "known" capabilities." The turtle smiled very big and before the little girls eyes stood up on its little legs and began to walk at a faster pace towards the girl. "Smart, smart, smart. You're ahead of everyone else on this earth, kid. You understand it all already. Passed the test, and look at me I'm not what I seem." And this is the story of a big lesson in life people seem to not listen to.
