Harry the Hairless Turtle

 Once upon a time there was a turtle. The turtle's name was Harry. Harry had no hair. His parents weren't the brightest animals in the forest and that's why they got eaten up by snakes. That and because they were slow, helpless turtles. So Harry the orphan turtle harbored depression. All the other animals made fun of him and said "Animals are supposed to die, and why do you even need parents? Some parents eat their babies and you are sad because you're a lonely turtle? Get a pet or something!" But since Harry was a turtle the only pet he could handle was a rock. He named it Wilson. Wilson never left his side, unless he was in front of Harry, or behind him. Harry spent so much time with Wilson he too decided to become a rock. "Turtles are almost like rocks anyway. They are pretty round, they can live on land, in water, grow algae on their backs sometimes. And we almost never move." So Harry became a rock by sitting very still and never going anywhere unless someone decided to pick him up and skip him across a lake. Harry was very much like his parents in the since that he forgot rocks didn't eat, but turtles needed to. So he starved to death and died.

The End
