A Fable is Hiding Here Somewhere
This photograph reminded me of the fables of Aesop, supposedly an ancient Greek slave and story-teller who often used animals in his stories to get across a point.
Probably one of the best known Aesop fable is the one when the slow-moving tortoise teaches the fast-moving hare that slow and steady can still win a race.
Perhaps you can think of a fable in which the turtle teaches the coot a lesson, or perhaps the coot will be the teacher.
