As he walked about tortoise rate walking on a path that could land him at his house having been doing so along with his eyes bent towards the sky on which an obvious display of gorgeous fantastic vision of things come had been set like a beautiful tale. As he noiselessly entered the home his better half fearfully gazed at him from the dinning table she was preparing.
