"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I donÂ’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesnÂ’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, youÂ’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
Lewis Carroll
(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)
Unlike Alice, Tiny Teacher Toby Turtle knows just where he is going. He knows when he will get there because he knows that the school is just 152 steps from his home. He also knows that 152 is his age (in human years) and so that makes it very easy to remember. He is diligently counting his steps.. when he finishes making 152 steps, he will be at Turtle School where he will teach all the other little turtles how to count so they will not lose their way in this life!
And by the way..... Tiny Teacher Toby Turtle has 42,000 students and they are each eating a cookie!

Welcome Marie and Toby to the land of nutty tea parties! Woot! You are going to love it here because we always have a good time. Did da Mudder give you your newbie cookies yet? If not, let me know, cause I know where she hides them. Ssssshh! Don't tell her that I told you that, okay?
I love your darling story and Teacher Toby Turtle! It is so cute!
