Hero Tortoise Rushes To Save Struggling Friend (Original Post)

Wonder Why
(6,551 posts)1. Like humans, some are and some are just mean because they hate competition.
If God wanted tortoises to right themselves, He'd have personally helped them. That upside down tortoise was that way because he refused to donate his shell to his mega-church. The pastor, one of the tortoises who just hid his face, ignored the upside down one because it was God's punishment.
