So will it be that life will come to nought for this particular specimen of tort? Perhaps it will see one more dawn, if we can only - just - keep it warm. Bright the desk lamp did burn for that diminuitive poikilotherm. Now Llandudno is the name of a tortoise once hurt when found, in fact the vet said it wouldn't stick around. But human-waiter guessed the score, guessed a tortoise is that hard-core. Now all that's wrong is one bad leg, the rest they do with fervor claw. But Llandudno tort's been through the mill and can't afford another spill. A 3x4 tortoise does get stuck and there's no worse thing, - falling over, in tortoise luck! In fact ``upside-down'' is far more dire than that dreadfull smell - of FIRE!
