Captain Crunch

There was a turtle (actually it's a tortoise but turtle is easier to type). Captain Crunch is different from normal turtles for it stays high above ground. Captain Crunch is very adventurous. It likes to travel to places no turtle has been.

One day, Captain Crunch set out for one of its excursion. It wondered far from the usual places it visit. Captain Crunch cross the boundary and came upon a cliff. It's adventurous alter ego told it to take a go and explore the cliff.

Apart from being an adventuroys turtle, Captain Crunch is also a pet to a girl. For convenience sake lets call her Love. Captain Crunch is the apple of Love's eye. They have been co-habitating in the same house since they met. Anyway back to the story. Love noticed Captian Crunch's disappearance when she couldn't find it at it's usual hideouts.

Love searched high and low and finally decided to search outside her home. Upon oening the grill, she spotted Captain Crunch performing a stunt at the cliff. Love gave the loudest shriek. A shriek which captured the neighbours attention as well as her partner's.

Everyone rushed out of their homes to see what happened. Captain Crunch on the other hand took the shriek as an indication to plunge. So down it went, 13 storeys. Woosh. Followed by a loud thud.

Love rushed back into her house to get a pail. Her partner asked her why she needed a pail. Her reply was to collect Captain Crunch's remains. Both Love and her partner rushed to the 'site' to search for Captain Crunch's remains. Upon finding Captain Crunch, they discovered that it was still alive. So man and woman rushed Captain Crunch to the vet.

After several attempts, they finally found one who was about to close. Love rushed to the doorstep to seek help. Knocking. The vet finally opened the door. He was shocked to see Love. "What happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?" Love then showed Captain Crunch to the vet. The vet replied " Haiya, it's only a turtle. You can get it for $6".

Anyway Captain Crunch was treated. Oh and they discovered it's gender. It happens to be a female. Anyway, Captain Crunch only held on for several days after the plunge.
