Five Minutes

It always seems to happen when we least expect it.
Our dreams coming true, I mean.

Today, as I was minding my own business, talking to my mom on the phone like I do twice a day, I saw a life in danger.  He was green, and looked lost.  I screamed his God-given name, but he didn't respond.  "Is he blind?"  I thought as he started heading toward the street where billions of cars were speeding by.  Before that I saw him walking into bushes.  He was obviously confused and needed my assistance.  "Are you lost?" I asked.  No response.  "Excuse me, mom, there's something I need to take care of.  I'll call you back." I said quickly as I hung up the phone.  Now that I was able to focus, I turned into a superhero.  I gently picked the guy up (he still hadn't said anything), and I brought him to the Wynn Pond.  The whole time I kept saying "You touch me and I'll drop you."  He didn't protest.  In fact, he dove right into the water when we got to the pond.  I wasn't surprise.  Some turtles are known for their love of water.

So here's the moral of the story.  Instead of talking to your mom for five more minutes, save the life of an animal.  They can't thank you, but your mom will.
