He then went to catch a few more old turtles. The old turtles are great, their best feature being that they look just like any ordinary turtle, regular folks wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Even the slight variations wouldn't draw anyone's attention. As for their larger size, it's not an issue. No matter how big they get, they start off small, so just catch the small ones.
He had planned to catch a few fish too, but had no place to keep them. He had dug a small pond next to the greenhouse, but then he piled up the cow dung too close. When it rained, the rainwater mixed with the dung and flowed into the pond. The water is now fine to irrigate the land but it's disgusting to put fish in.
It seems he will have to build a better pond in the future. He will start that project tomorrow. He can keep some fish in there and won't have to lie about catching them from the river anymore.
