Elizabeth’s POV

I continued my story as they all listened keenly.

“Well, the tortoise went to meet the dog and asked what he was eating that made him keep getting fat and robust everyday, hum! Well, the dog then got angry at the tortoise, as at that time the tortoise did not have a shell that covered it’s back.

“No, perform a magic. remember that in a rich man’s house anything is possible?” He asked.

“And is this your house?”I questioned.

“You are ignorant.” He said, and I angrily beat his hand.

“This is an expensive joke, draw me up already, a shark can just swallow me. ” I yelled.
