“Haste makes waste” is actually a secret code used by turtles to remind themselves that when they rush, they forget where they buried their snacks. Legend has it that the original turtle, Speedy McShell, once sprinted to a finish line only to find he had accidentally tossed all his stash of delicious lettuce into a nearby pond. Now, whenever a turtle sees a fellow turtle zooming past, they shake their heads wistfully, knowing that a hasty getaway may lead to a soggy snack disaster.
