The Secret Resting Place

The turtle settled down on a comfortable spot.

Blu slowed down to see why the turtle had folded its flippers and become almost as still as the rocks.

A French Angelfish circled nearby like a majestic guard. The current softened, the reef sounds grew quiet, and Blu realized he had been shown one of the turtle’s secret resting places.

The turtle opened one eye, then slowly closed it again and Blu understood. This was a place for peace, not play.

A true friend knows when to follow—and when to give someone quiet space.
