Why'd the turtle cross the road?

... I guess he wanted to get to the other side. During my lunch hour the other day, I saw a huge turtle limping across a busy road. Some drivers were being cautious around him & some didn't stop for him at all. I did a fast U-turn, threw my car in park & went to pick him up. Another guy got out of his car also & got to the turtle first. Unfortunately for the turtle, the guy was kind of a wimp & instead of caring him, he ended up kicking him with his feet to reach the embankment. I yelled at him to stop & let me get him. The turtle had done one too many somersaults!

The guy held traffic back while I picked the turtle up & walked him to a nearby pond. I felt like that was my purpose for the day. I wasn't even supposed to be in that area (my friend had cancelled our lunch date). Nothing like divine intervention to lead me to this turtle who just needed to get to the other side of the road. I always want to be that person who stops.
