Once upon a time, there was a carefree tortoise who lived near the ocean. One day, he was taking a nap on the beach when he suddenly woke up to a strong current surrounding him. Looking up, he saw a giant tsunami approaching, with tons of debris in its crest. The tortoise quickly realized that he needed to escape before it hit.
He ran as fast as he could, but his short legs couldn't keep up with the swift current. Just then, he remembered that he had a secret weapon: his long nostrils. He took a deep breath, and using his powerful nostrils, he swam through the water and safely made it to the other side of the beach.
The end.
