A tortoise and a snail

(From www.livinginperu.com)

One day a tortoise was walking along the middle of the road. It was raining heavily. He wasn't looking where he was going and he crashed into a snail which was crossing the road. The tortoise quickly disappeared into the crowd but the snail was seriously injured. An ambulance arrived at once and took him straight to the hospital, where he was operated on. It was a difficult operation but it was a great success. After three days the snail felt much better and was sitting up in bed reading.

The police came to interview him and showed him pictures of different tortoises to see if he could identify the one who had hit him. After seeing fifty pictures of identical tortoises, the snail started crying and said,

" I'm sorry. I can't remember. Everything happened so fast."
