Turtle and Rabbit

Once a turtle egg clutched in claws of way lost seagull fell into a forest beneath a tree where a rabbit family also lived in bushes. As the time went on baby turtle came out of egg and a baby rabbit too was born in rabbit family , in a due course of time turtle and rabbit became fast friends.

Turtle and rabbit spent a splendid time togather, sometimes with rabbit on turtle 's back splashing in jungle pool and sometimes other way round cruising along fringes of forest .

As they became older instincts of turtle pulled him towards sea ..by disposition he was slow by nature ..sentimental and reflective perhaps because he never got that warmth of his parents which could had helped him in shattering his prison walls .

Rabbit was a prosaic and dilettante creature living and enjoying every moment of his life ,was heedless and fast in disposition. 

As circumstances turned side upon turtle left for sea as his instincts got better over himself..both friends bid good bye to each others with moist eyes.

For a passage of time turtle remained at sea making his way out of struggles of life , but somewhere at the back of his mind he craved for the company of rabbit , all those moments of joy and fun , he started reliving them again and again in his heart .He started getting homesick to return back to rabbit , to his old life , to past, but mother nature has its own ways to guide evry creature isn't it ?

In between all this turtle too made new friends but memories of past haunted him again and again in a sneaking manner making him unable to move ahead in life. Atlast he made his mind to pay a visit to rabbit . 

After a long journey fatigued by miles of swimming and walking he went straight to rabbit as he was really excited to meet his old pal.

 But on seeing him after a long time rabbit looked not too pleased. Something in him was changed maybe by time or circumstances. . Neither he looked pleased nor turtle felt the warmth in gestures and welcome as he expected. He was heart broken and was sure had lost something, trying to figure out what went wrong and where.

That day turtle learnt something he found out that fragrance of memories and past which make you cosy in between hard times are only to make you feel good . You shouldn't be trying to tow them into your present life otherwise you will have nothing to mull upon and the shore of your heart will get washed off from those sweet memories too ...
