Hetty brought a tortoise the day after her daughter died. Her only daughter, as it turned out. Her only daughter and her only tortoise, as it had also turned out. That was almost twenty years ago.

Second Tortoise and Matthew Bergosh: A Comparison While at first glance a cheating tortoise and I may have little in common, but upon closer examination we share many attributes, such as good friends and intelligence. It may also be important to note why I am unlike the first tortoise; he made a bet he had no way of winning, he relied on luck and chance. The second tortoise was intelligent and clever, with creative problem solving skills much like my own. However, usually my problem skills are

leaving him with nothing to his name and no way to make a living.
