"I am slow but sure
Cautious, persistent and strong
With tricks of my own."
...I am just overwhelmed to write Pong's story in a Haiku manner
5,7 and 5 syllables in three lines.
I tried to make it a real talking turtle through instilling my thoughts
and imaginations in Pong's image and tried to give life to his story.
Pong participated in this Haiku poetry. Portion of the poetry came
from his observation around him, including me.
I have learned a lot from taking care of Pong and my other turtles.
If people would pay attention to some animal behaviors as my pet
Pong, they could learn some virtues.
So enjoy reading Pong's story. It is a short one and you can finish it in
one sitting...So go, turtling with him!
