Hully, the Turtle that doesn't lose.



once upon a time in the lands south of Bree, down in the marshes of Andrath, there lived Hully, the turtle.  He was a bit tougher than the other turtles, and he never lost a fight.


One day, Hully went for a slow walk through the swamp, and came across a frog. The frog told him, "You're little legs are so silly, you'll never jump as high as a frog!". So Hully lumbered over to the frog and shoved him into the lake, proclaiming, "You might can jump, but you ain't as strong as me!" The frog splashed around and swam away, defeated.

Hully then came across a butterfly, who looked at him and said, "Ha! You're all green, you'll never be as pretty as me!" So Hully ate the butterfly and moved on.

Hully then came across a rabbit, who chuckled and said, "Ha, you'll never be as fast as I am with you're tiny turtle feet!" So Hully shrugged, approached him calmly, and said in his meanest voice, "Last person that mocked me regretted it." The rabbit just laughed and scurried off.

About a week later, Hully found the rabbit sitting around and minding it's own, but thought, "I never got you back for what you said."

When out of nowhere, a hungry coyote comes into the clearing and eats the rabbit whole! Hully looked on in shock but then nodded his little head and muttered, "Better than if I'd gotten you."
