THE DRAWING OF THE TURTLE

     The teacher Laggard asked a drawing of free theme and said to his pupils:

   -When you finish you can leave!

   In five minutes several drawings were already on his table and half of the class was out of the classroom. Half hour after everybody left the classroom, but the little turtle.  

   The class finished, the teacher Laggard needed to exit, but the little turtle continued drawing. Then the teacher approached his pupil and asked:

   -Why didn’t you still end to draw?

   And the little turtle said:       

   -Because I am drawing the perfection.
