A Turtle's Life
SCRIPT
A man went to a pet shop and bought a turtle.
The shop owner said,
O: You know, the crane is said to live for a thousand years,
and the turtle for ten thousand years.
But the next day, the turtle died.
So he went to the shop to make complaints.
M: You said yesterday that the crane lives for a thousand years,
and the turtle for ten thousand years.
But it died just this morning.
O: Oh, I see.
It must have just turned ten thousand years old this morning.
