o. G. Michael in 1876 picked up
a land turtle in field on his farm
near Aberdeen, and carved the
date on the shell of the reptile.
Twenty years later, in 1896, he
happened upon the tortoise again,
in the same field, and carveN the
date upon its back. A few days
ago while walking over his farm he
picked up the tortoise near the
spot he had seen it the first time,
more thirty years ago. Both dates
previously carved were still quite
legible, and he carved third date
upon the shell, expecting at some
future time to meet his old friend
again.
