Farewell
to Addwaita "The One and Only"
I
can't imagine what it's like to live for two hundred and fifty years.
Do you think a tortoise is always happy no matter how old he or she might
be? Do you think that a two hundred and fifty year old tortoise notices
much difference between the twenty-first century and the eighteenth century?
Do you think the food was better then or now? Do you think that Addwaita
ever listened to Mozart? Do you think that Addwaita knew that both he
and Mozart would be the same age if they were both alive today? I wonder
if Addwaita the Tortoise ever had the pleasure of experiencing a performance
of "The Marriage of Figaro." I wonder if Mozart as a small boy ever got
a glimpse of Addwaita the giant Tortoise before Addwaita emigrated from
Europe to India?
