Day 38 and Albert goes for a ride.
Albert has always been one for experiences and unusual activities. And knowing this, his friends got him a red letter day voucher for his birthday. As it was Sunday and the day of rest, Albert decided to use his voucher up on a relaxing adventure.
Some might consider using it for race car driving or a day in the spa, but Albert is not an ordinary person and wanted to use it on riding lessons. However these riding lessons were a little different to what people expect, as there are no horses involved. Instead Albert had booked tortoise riding lessons for today, as he thought they didn't travel very fast and he couldn't get too hurt.
For the first lesson, Albert was told to gain the tortoises trust by feeding it some lettuce, but strangely the tortoise seemed more interested in trying to bite Albert's arm off, so Albert opted to feed it an apple. This seemed to work, and the tortoise began on the apple. but as it bite into the apple, it slipped out his mouth and was sent rolling across the floor at the unaware Albert where it hit him straight in the face.
This little accident didn't deter Albert and eventually he managed to mount the tortoise and enjoy the rest of his day.
