" Look at that!" Tony said softly, " As strong as a machine." " He sure is." Old Joe said and moved back, " He must weight a hundred pounds, maybe more." The turtle pushed his ugly head toward the men. " He thinks there is going to be a fight." Tony said, " I wish I had brought my gun." " You are not going to kill him, are you?" Old Joe asked. " Why not?" Tony said, " Turtles kill our fish, don' t they? The more trout they eat, the less we can catch." They both lit cigarettes and stood there smoking and looking at the turtle. It had pulled his head inside under the hard cover on his back. " There is a heavy tool in the car. I can hit him with it." Tony said, " But it is too short. I do not want to put my hand near him, he might try to bite it off." Old Joe said nothing. " You watch him," Tony said, " I' ll go find something heavy and strong in the back of the car." |
