A tortoise gifted to Sir Clive (of India) has died after 270 odd years. He lived in Sir Clives' garden in India and died in a zoo in Calcutta. If only Tortoises could speak and write. What a story he could tell!!!

I meant write properly, not write like you Jake :-)

Maybe it is best he doesnt. Secrets are best left alone. Afterall, it was his private garden and he would be accused of gossiping.

Well, he couldn't tell the story now anyway. ;) (because he is dead)
