Wild Wednesday - Turtle Gone Wild

This is just a similar turtle.  Jeff forgot to take a photo of the real turtle.
Why did the turtle cross the road? Well not really, the turtle tried to cross the very busy street of Meridian.  Jeff was driving to his mother's house, he noticed something on the road.  The closer he got, he realized it was a turtle was trying to get to the other side.  On this particular road, there's a creek and the turtle must have gotten out and started heading up and up and pretty soon he was on the street.  After passing it, Jeff continued driving and then realized if he does not help the turtle to cross the road and back on the creek, the turtle would be run over by some cars not paying attention on the road.  So Jeff did a U-turn, parked the car, and started walking towards the turtle.  He then picked it up and was ready to return it to the creek when a young girl was walking towards him looking for the same turtle.  She asked Jeff if she can have the turtle and would take it home as her pet if her parents would let her.  Jeff told her that if that is not the case, then she should return the turtle to the creek.  The moral of the story, save a life, make someone happy and the world is a better place to live in.  As from previous bee story, Jeff has a very kind and loving way of saving little critters.

What would you do if you see a turtle trying to cross the road?  Would you like to have a turtle as your pet?
