Chapter 14: “Spotty the Turtle Keeps Right on Going”
The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat
Thornton W. Burgess
Abstract: Because everyone wanted to be the one to find the trouble first, no one would wait for each other. Spotty the turtle was last and, because the others thought they were so much farther ahead than the rest, they all stopped to take a break. Spotty became the one who saw the problem first.
