How fast is Slow?
Abel had grown up believing that the slowest animal on earth was the tortoise. It was what his teacher had always said, and all the students in school accepted it as a fact. But things took an unexpected turn during the last Christmas celebration.
During the festive period, Abel's family had decided to visit the local zoo. They spent the day wandering through the different enclosures, marveling at the diverse creatures from all corners of the globe. Abel was fascinated by the unique traits of each animal and found himself taking note of their behaviors and distinctive features.
As he strolled through the zoo, his curiosity led him to the tortoise cage. The tortoise was quietly moseying about, seemingly unfazed by the presence of onlookers. However, something caught Abel's attention. As he observed the tortoise, it suddenly seemed to pick up its pace and darted towards its little dark pit at an unexpected speed.
Abel stood rooted to the spot, utterly amazed at the sight. The supposedly slowest animal on earth had just demonstrated an unexpected burst of speed. He couldn't believe his eyes. He kept watching, waiting for the tortoise to slow down, but it showed no signs of returning to its leisurely pace.
Excited and bewildered, Abel couldn't wait for school to resume so that he could share his newfound revelation with his classmates. This revelation had turned his understanding of the animal kingdom upside down and he was eager to share this astonishing information with everyone. He learned that sometimes, what we believe to be true may not always match up with reality, and he couldn't wait to impart this valuable lesson to his peers.
