Sweating after a two kilometres walk, friend S and I squat on the parapet of a shopping centre fountain in its courtyard, while our husbands go about their errands. Some guys are playing snooker a few feet away. A guy is busy selling soft drinks at his three-by-three feet stall. Feeling that cool from the water in that fountain tank is one thing.
Finding something you fall for instantly in that water is another. I snoop around to look for fish in the water. And find a turtle! We rarely find turtles as pets! My friend is as excited. We watch the little one swim around on the tank floor, settle down in one of the dents for a while, look for food and swim away disinterested. When we tap our fingers to draw its attention, it responds lovingly and swims to the surface.
S decides to click a picture of the turtle and focuses her mobile over the moving pool resident. Guess what? The turtle turns to the camera! He swims to the pool surface and sticks out his head to pose for S. After she finishes clicking the shot, he turns around and swims away. One thought only celebs were shutterbug sunflowers!
