A Tortoise Is a Garden Ornament

The father had gone out to the garden to tidy it up and found a tortoise. The mum phoned us to ask for advice. After speaking to a vet I advised her to get a box put crushed newspaper in it. She told me she would bring it in as soon as possible. Not five minutes later the lady called us back. Her husband had gone back out of the garden with the box to pick up the tortoise. He was horrified to tell me that it was a garden ornament. What a knee jerk reaction the first four calls. Well if he's not been there for a year there might be loads of shit over it like moss and that. It's probably green so
