when they think you're ordering them about, not very respectful. A 
couple other words you might like to acquaint yourself with are ‘thank 
you' and ‘you're welcome'. Words can be your friends, but you have to 
invite them in, if you know what I mean. Anyway, in answer to your 
question, the name of this town is Hèrrre.” The turtle pointed to the 
ground. 

The rabbit looked puzzled. “What?” 

“No, Hèrrre. The name of this town is Hèrrre. Try rolling the ‘R's; it
sounds a bit Scottish.” 

“Oh, I get it,” said the rabbit. “It sounds like the word ‘here', but
just a little different.” 

“That's right,” said the turtle. “Confuses folks all the time. So, now
you know you're in the town of Hèrrre. Do you have another question?” 

“Yes,” said the rabbit. “Could you please tell me the name of the
nearest town?” “Oh, that would be Thèrrre,” said the turtle, pointing 
down the road. 

“OK, so, I go in the direction you're pointing, but what's the name of
that town... please?” 

The turtled laughed. “The name of that town is Thèrrre. It sounds almost
the same as the word ‘there'. I understand your confusion.” 

“Great! I'll be on my way to Thèrrre then,” said the rabbit, still a
little unsure. “Hold on!” shouted the turtle, holding up his hands. 
“You can't go that way because the bridge is out.” 

“You mean?” said the rabbit. 

“That's right,” answered the turtle. “You can't get to Thèrrre from
Hèrrre.” 

  The End.
