Pets

My family have had many pets in the past and they include ducks, rabbits, fishes (lots of them), roosters, hens, hamsters, turtles, tortoises and even worms. These are only what i can remember.

Our last pets were 2 tortoises, one was twice as big as the other. They kinda grew up together. The bigger one 'bullied' the smaller one very often. A few weeks after i found out about that, the smaller one died from some sickness. My brother felt that the bigger tortoise might feel lonely and bought another one. It was about the size the big tortoise was when we first bought it.

A few days later, when i came back home from school, the domestic helper called me to the tank where we keep the tortoises and to my shock, i saw the small tortoise floating on the water with it's head gone. Its head was chewed off but there was no blood or green ooze or anything. A few minutes later, the dead tortoise was properly taken care of.

Back to the MURDER of the small innocent tortoise... OBVIOUSLY, you know who's the culprit. We do feed the 2 tortoise you know. Guess that damned bigger tortoise is territorial...

Anyways, my brother and my dad released the tortoise months ago in this big canal. I'm not so sure it'd survive though. It was rasied domestically so now that it's released, it's fighting with the 'wild' creatures in the water for survival. But who knows? Maybe it's lucky
