Chapter 5: Friends

The pet school has a special etiquette course for pets to adapt to the civilized society of humans.

The etiquette teacher in the turtle class is a large-mouthed turtle named Beethoven in a golden wig, and she speaks very quickly, her eyes scanning the class from front to back, from left to right:

"A pet should look like a pet, and you must pay attention to basic etiquette when standing and lying on your stomach, and lazily lying on the table is not a well-bred turtle!" The turtle students who were lying on their desks were so frightened that they quickly sat up straight and stretched their necks.

It seemed that his own lecture had worked, and Beethoven went on with satisfaction:

"When you see human beings, you must take the initiative to say hello, you can't defecate anywhere, you can't make loud noises, you can't accept food from strangers, you can't interact with stray animals, because they have lice on their bodies, they can infect humans, you can't swear, we are educated pets, not stray animals, since we are in a civilized human society, we must abide by the rules of human beings!"

"Oh, Mr. Beethoven, but my master often speaks loudly and occasionally swears!" A skinny turtle couldn't help but mutter.

"Dirty words? What is a swear word? Turtle asked his table mate in a whisper.

"It's just swearing, and people who say it and listen to it will feel like a toilet stinking!" At the same table was a beautiful turtle with big eyes and long eyelashes, and when she spoke, her eyelashes flickered, and she thought to herself that the beautiful turtle would not swear.

Ms. Beethoven did not want to hear the tortoises complain about the shortcomings of their masters, so she had to make up some explanations for the inconsistencies of the humans:

"Oh, maybe he's got some virus! So when someone swears loudly, you have to hide quickly, otherwise you will be easily infected. ”

Finally, the etiquette class was over, and the turtle breathed a long sigh of relief, and he didn't have to look at Mr. Beethoven's big mouth anymore.

"Do this, don't do that, this is etiquette lesson!" The tortoise said to the big-eyed tortoise at the table that it now knew that its table mate was called Senna.

"Xena? Also a place name? ”

"No, my master's best friend is called Nana, she transferred schools, in honor of her, my master gave me her friend's name, the big name Sena, the little name Nana, she said that I am not her pet, it is her family, and her friend!"

"Friends?"

"Yes, friends can share happy things together and help each other when they are in trouble." Nana replied very seriously.

"Share the blessings and share the difficulties!"

Turtle had heard the story of the Taoyuan Three Knots, and he felt the need to show his knowledge in front of Nana.

"Yes, that's what it means, good friends have to have common hobbies and be able to think about each other. Arctic, do you have any friends? ”

This made the turtle fall into deep thought, Dad said that loneliness is the normal state of life, just like the stars in the sky, each planet shines alone, hanging in the sky for hundreds of millions of years. But Nana's question caused ripples in the turtle's heart, and it would be interesting to have a friend traveling with him. Xiaoxiao is her own master, more like her own family, I don't know if Xiaoxiao will treat herself as a friend?

Nana thought that her question had made the turtle a little embarrassed, so she stepped forward and took the turtle's hand and said:

"Arctic, you will be my good friend from now on! Let's call it a nickname like family! ”

The turtle looked at Nana's big eyes and nodded happily. Listening to Nana and talking kindly, Kameki was happy.

Turtle and Nana soon became very good friends, and the two of them simply talked about everything.

"Do you know how rain is formed?"

"The sea water turns into water vapor and rises into the air, encounters cold air, condenses into water droplets and falls, and it forms rain." The turtle turtle was on a rainy day, Xiaoxiao told it, Xiaoxiao likes to read, and he told the turtle that there is an answer in the book "100,000 Whys".

But Nana shook her head and said mysteriously:

"Actually, they were the tears of the fairy!"

The turtle wondered if the fairy was like Chang'e mentioned by her mother, and she was also a mythical character, and she looked at Nana's big flickering eyes, and felt that her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.

"Then why did the fairy weep?"

"Look at the clouds in the sky, the fairies paint with clouds in the sky, and sometimes if they don't draw well, they cry urgently!" Nana told the turtle seriously.

"Did you know that there is a dragon king in the East China Sea?" Nana asked again.

"No, there is!" Xiaoxiao once said that those are all myths, there are gods and elixirs in myths, but in reality there are none, disasters are coming, and no one can save you. The turtle hesitated as Nana asked whether it was myth or reality.

"No, yes, you haven't heard the story of Nezha's trouble in the East China Sea, have you?"

"This, I've heard that Nezha killed the third prince of the Dragon King." Turtle Turtle is familiar with these stories when he watches TV with Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, yes, that's it! Do you know the story too? ”

"Of course, I also know that the world's longest-lived turtle also lives in the East China Sea." Turtle Turtle finally picked up Nana's topic, Nana likes to mix myths in her imagination, just like Turtle's father, but it's interesting to talk like this, Turtle Turtle now likes to chat with Nana more and more.

"Yes, yes, I know that, too!"

"Then do you know that the ancestor of the turtle had a hero named Ao Bulie, who once defeated the most powerful golden-winged Dapeng and established the Bulie Dynasty in the East China Sea?"

Nana shook her head and began to worship the erudite tortoise.

"Later, its descendants were in charge of the East China Sea together with the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and it is said that the Dragon King is responsible for rainfall!"

Nana thought of what she said just now that the rain was the tears shed by the fairy, and hurriedly explained with a red face: "Of course, if it is light rain, it is the tears of the fairy, and if it is heavy rain, it is the rain of the dragon king." That's right, that's it! ”

"Yes, that's it!" Turtle nodded, thinking that the words that came out of Nana's mouth were too funny.

"Arctic, you're the smartest turtle I've ever seen!"

The turtle knows a lot of knowledge, and Nana thinks the turtle is too smart. The turtle is very proud, in addition to her mother, Nana is the second to praise her for being smart, no, and Xiaoxiao seems to have said that she is a smart turtle.

The turtle likes to listen to Nana's whimsical questions, and he thinks that Nana must have been to a fairy tale world, otherwise her head would be full of so many interesting and mysterious things.

Nana asked him:

"Do you know how to get to the East China Sea?"

"I don't know." The turtle shook its head, although it really wanted to see the outside world, but it didn't know how to get out, just like Xiaoxiao could only sit in a wheelchair every day and sigh, he was too thin, not even as good as the pet dog next door, and could only crawl around the room on the balcony every day.

"We can go in a hot air balloon! Float, float, float, float all the way to the East China Sea! ”

The tortoise had seen a hot air balloon on TV, but it had never actually seen it.

"Hot air balloons? That's a good idea, but where to find a hot air balloon? ”

"My master's father was a flyer, he had a hot air balloon and a paraglider, and when he got to the East China Sea, he could fly on the endless sea with a paraglider on his back."

"Can you fly to Turtle Mountain?"

"Absolutely!"

"Can you fly to Egypt to see the pyramids?"

"No problem! Where would you most like to go? ”

"I want to go to the Himalayas, to the North Pole......

The tortoise was happily talking about his dream of travel, and the tortoise named Brazil came behind him at some point, and he overheard the tortoise's dream, and laughed:

"It won't be your master who will take you on a trip in a wheelchair!"

The tortoise is angry because Brazil makes fun of its owner, which annoys it more than laughing at himself.

Nana couldn't help but step forward to fight for the turtle:

"Brazil, you coward, you only deserve to sleep in a water tank for the rest of your life!"

Brazil was ridiculed by Nana, and muttered to Nana unconvinced:

"Hmph, you're the coward who is afraid of cats!"

When Nana came to school in the morning, she met a big cat, and Nana, who had been afraid of cats since she was a child, hid behind her owner and refused to come out. Unfortunately, this scene was seen by Brazil.

Nana's face flushed with anger. Seeing this, the turtle hurriedly climbed onto the table, crossed his arms, and said loudly to Brazil:

"It's normal to be afraid, everyone has something to be afraid of, you will only speak quickly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard is the real coward!"

Brazil couldn't say anything about them, so he pouted and walked away.

Nana likes to be friends with the turtle and thinks it is both learned and wise. He begged the tortoise and said:

"You must take me with you when you travel in the future!"

"No problem!"

With such a good friend to accompany him, travel is no longer a lonely thing, and he begins to dream of traveling the world.
