Cutest
of the Cute
Giant Galapagos Tortoise
Can't
you see the wisdom in my wrinkles? Can't you see the past through my eyes? Aren't
my nostrils endearing? Isn't my longevity a surprise?
I'm
probably as old as your grandparents, but I'm still
growing. I might eventually weigh up to 600 pounds. Now, that's an awful lot
of cute! If your grandparents want to know the secret of my youth, tell them
I'm a peaceful vegetarian: I eat slowly and take a lot of time to sit around
and digest. And tell them that cuteness has nothing to do with age!
