Larisa,
I'll bet you love turtles. Well, you going to love Lord Vishnu, who
maintains the entire world. He became the greatest turtle of all time.
A long long time ago during the great flood, in order to save the Holy Books
from damage, God, Lord Vishnu took the form of a giant turtle and kept the
Holy Books on His back, free from the water of the flood.
It was the special unique talent of turtles, through which Lord Vishnu
saved the wisdom for all His people.
All animals have a unique special magical gift: the birds can fly, but we
cannot. Our gift is that we can love God and come to know everything with
His help. And that is even better than flying. Maybe even better than
being a turtle. ;-)
