Wise Turtle: (slowly nods) Speed is good, Young Crab, but patience is just as important.

Young Crab: Ouch! That hurt!
Wise Turtle: (puppet leans toward Young Crab) See? Rushing can cause trouble.
[Young Crab puppet peers into water, trying to grab a fish puppet but splashes and misses.]

Young Crab: (puppet pauses, then slowly reaches into pool and “catches” fish puppet) Hooray! I did it!
Wise Turtle: (nods wisely) Sometimes slowing down brings better results.
[Both puppets sit side by side on a “rock,” facing the audience.]
