A tortoise cannot run very fast. But a person cannot live in a cool shell! When you focus on being the very best you, your true friends will love you just the way you are. Ben is a tortoise who wants to run fast like the rest of his friends. At first, he is determined to change himself, but keeps getting hurt in the process. His best friend helps him to realize there''s no reason for him to be faster. When we accept each other the way God made us, that helps to get rid of all the yucky stuff and makes room for much more love in our world!
