Upon welcoming them into their new home, Helen exclaimed: “This is very impressive!” The homeowners explained it had been designed for the pair to climb and exercise their muscular tissues.
She requested: “We’re used to seeing new additions at Springtime on the farm. But, it’s usually lambs, goats, calves, foals, even. It’s quite random to have a tortoise, why?”
They replied: “We’ve got all sorts at the farm, we’ve got reptiles, we’ve got little mammals. We’ve got all the farm animals, so it’s just all about education for me.”
