Chapter 7: The Truth
The tortoise and rabbit skateboarding competition is a big news in the pet school and has caused a sensation on the campus.
According to human civilization, pets have to be friendly and can't fight each other. Therefore, it has always been strictly forbidden for pet schools to play in private, and it is strictly forbidden to fight in private.
Both sides of the campus playground track are full of spectators, cheering, and betting. Ever since the famous match between a hare and a tortoise in the last century, this skateboarding competition has become an important topic for pets to bet on and have fun.
Some say that it must be the tortoise that wins, because the rabbit is too bulky, and some say that it must be the hare that wins, and the tortoise has too little strength.
I thought it would be a good game of evenly matched, but I didn't expect that halfway through the game, Pippi the rabbit and the tortoise gradually widened the gap. The tortoise is in sight, but when he reaches the end, the tortoise falls to the ground and fouls, and Pippi the rabbit finally wins the race.
The tortoises hung their heads, and the rabbits cheered. Because of the lack of evidence, the turtle can only consider himself unlucky.
But Nana didn't want to give up, and she angrily picked up a pebble next to the turtle and came to the end.
The rabbits were celebrating their victory around Pippi, and when Jiaojiao saw Nana and the tortoise approaching, they sneered:
"Look, Pipsqueak, your men are defeated!"
"Hmph, it was you who secretly threw stones, and the North Pole fell to the ground, you cheated, and it was shameful that you won!"
Jiaojiao crossed her hands across her chest, bent down and glared at Nana and said:
"I think you lost, so you deliberately planted it, liar!"
"I think you were the one who threw the stones, no wonder the cheerleaders didn't see you just now, thief!" Nana did not show weakness and fought with reason.
"Liar!"
"Thief!"
The two quarreled, and soon the other rabbits and tortoises joined the fight. Other pets also came over to watch the fun.
When Mr. Hagrid saw this scene, he was worried that things would get worse and worse, so he hurriedly pulled the two sides apart, shouting as he pulled:
"Wait, wait, listen to me, arguing doesn't solve the problem, stay calm!"
But everyone was arguing fiercely and didn't listen to him at all. Gradually, the quarrel escalated into a push-and-shove, and finally evolved into a stone-throwing war.
A good campus has become a battlefield. The headmaster was furious. An urgent screeching bell put an end to the war.
The principal is a Rottweiler with a medal on his chest, and he is also one of the few animals in human society to be awarded the medal of "Harmonious Citizen", because it was a professional police dog before coming to the pet school, and it has been found several times missing children, and it has also followed the police several times to catch the bad guys, but unfortunately the principal of Weiner later injured his thigh in a chase and had to retire, because of his discipline and loyalty, so he was hired by humans as the principal of the pet school, so that he could manage the atmosphere of the school, and everyone respectfully called it "Weiner." "Headmaster.
"Ten injured people in the rabbit class, five injured people in the turtle class, two cats fainted, three dogs barked, you see this is the consequences of you, according to the school rules, you have to accept the punishment, each of you run three laps around the playground!"
Pippi the rabbit lowered his head and obediently accepted the punishment, but the tortoise was not convinced, and muttered to Principal Weiner:
"Principal Weiner, how can you punish you before the matter is investigated?"
Headmaster Weiner had heard of the little turtle named Arctic for a long time, and he picked up a file bag from his desk, pulled out a few pictures from the bag and handed them to the turtle.
Turtle Turtle looked through them one by one, and it seemed that this Weiner Principal had already investigated.
The first is a photo of the turtle and turtle standing on a table and talking to the Brazilian theory, the second is a photo of the turtle and Nana betting with the rabbits in front of the classroom, the third is a photo of the turtle and turtle sliding into the air on a skateboard, and the fourth is a chaotic scene of the turtle and the rabbit causing a school battle.
Headmaster Weiner looked at the unruly little turtle and continued:
"Your name is Arctic, your owner Chen Xiaoxiao, loves to ask questions, does not admit defeat easily, and bets with rabbits on skateboarding. His name is Pippi, he is a sports all-rounder, and he is good friends with Jiaojiao. You fall in the middle of a jump and lose to Pippi. You think it's the rabbit cheating, so the rabbit theory started this riot. Am I right? ”
Headmaster Weiner was simply a Sherlock Holmes, and Turtle nodded:
"So you've already investigated!"
"Everything pays attention to evidence, and arguments without evidence will bring no results except for endless arguments!"
Principal Weiner used to be a police dog and has maintained the strict professional habits of a police officer for many years.
Turtle Turtle felt that what Principal Weiner said was reasonable, but it was still a little unwilling to accept the result of the game, and it tilted its head and said to Principal Weiner:
"I don't have any evidence of who attacked me, but I did fall from a rock."
"But who's going to prove that you didn't hit the bag on your head?" Pippi the rabbit rolled her eyes at the tortoise.
"It's not hard to find evidence!" The turtle turtle suddenly had a confident expression on his face, which was still lost just now.
"Look, there's a rabbit throwing stones in the stands in this picture!"
"I look like I'm saying hello from afar!" Pipsqueak glanced at it and dismissed Turtle's words directly.
"Indeed, the truth is not as obvious as it seems!" Principal Weiner sat in a chair and listened and expressed his opinion.
"Principal Weiner, there are surveillance cameras in public places in the school, right?"
Principal Weiner nodded.
"That's easy, we just need to call up the monitoring of the playground stands, and we can find evidence!"
Principal Weiner felt that there was no problem with the logic of the turtle turtle, but he did not take over the topic of the turtle, and asked the turtle:
"What do you want to prove?"
"Of course, it proves that the result of this game is unfair."
Principal Weiner shrugged his shoulders and pointed a long whip at the school rules on the wall:
"Fairness is important, but the rules of the school are even more important. Since it is because of you, you will be punished! ”
"But cheaters also have to be punished!" The turtle is still not convinced.
The turtles hiding at the door of Principal Weiner's office are sweating for the turtles, Principal Weiner is the highest authority in the pet school, and he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk away with Principal Weiner.
However, Principal Weiner used to be a well-trained police dog, so he didn't make a big deal about small things. I saw him rub his chin with his hand and say:
"The truth will always come out, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished!"
Turtle and Pippi are driven to the playground, where they have to be punished in full view of everyone, and the turtle is pointed at by everyone, and it looks like it has thorns, and it is very uncomfortable.
"Look, it's the turtle that flew up and whirled! The action is so beautiful! ”
"But it still lost!"
"But it's really slippery!"
"I saw that turtle had a big bag on its head, and I heard that someone threw a stone at it, and then it fell down? It can't be a rabbit's trick! ”
"Who knows, no one saw it, maybe it was planted by himself to the rabbit!"
Feeling so embarrassed that he sat listlessly on the steps of the playground after three laps.
Teacher Hagrid came to Turtle's side at some point and comforted Turtle Turtle in a depressed mood:
"Arctic, in fact, the teacher is also at fault, he didn't stop you from playing privately in time, and let you be punished."
"Teacher Hagrid, I knowingly committed it, Principal Weiner is right, it is useless to say anything without evidence."
"You want to find the truth?"
"Yes, Mr. Weiner has shown me the pictures, but I can't say anything, I want to see the surveillance, I have to get the cheater punished as he deserves. Otherwise, it's so unfair! ”
"Just now I saw that Rabbit Jiaojiao was called to the office by Principal Weiner!"
Hearing this news, the turtle suddenly became energetic and asked:
"Why?"
"Maybe Headmaster Weiner is helping you find the truth, and with its professional habits, it will pay you justice."
"Really? Principal Weiner is really imposing, Mr. Hagrid, how can you be a police officer? ”
"You want to be a cop again? That's not what a turtle can do. Dog people are naturally quick to react and have a keen sense of smell, and they are destined to be the material of the police. ”
"And what can we turtle clan do?"
"Be a pet school teacher like me."
"What else?"
"There are really few occupations that turtles can do in human society now. But if you find the light of wisdom, maybe there are more options. ”
"The light of wisdom?" Turtle Turtle remembered that the flying pigeon teacher mentioned it, and he was very impressed.
"There is an underground labyrinth behind the school, I heard that the light of wisdom is hidden inside, I sneaked in, but unfortunately I didn't find it, I heard that if you find the light of wisdom, you will have some kind of mysterious power."
"Teacher Feige told us, what is going on inside? Is it dangerous? ”
Teacher Hagrid was worried that the turtle would act rashly on the spur of the moment, and hurriedly added:
"Of course it's dangerous, if you can't find an exit, you will probably come out again without energy. Don't try it, the underground labyrinth is not easy to enter, and no one has really seen the light of wisdom except for the first headmaster. ”
Turtle Turtle was still very puzzled, Teacher Feige said that the underground labyrinth was dangerous, but Teacher Hagrid had sneaked in, and didn't he come out unscathed. Why didn't Mr. Hagrid find the light of wisdom, is it not there? The turtle made up his mind that no matter what, he had to go to the underground labyrinth.
