    About this ebook

    A giant tortoise learns that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

    Whitey and Cahoots, two sharks, convince giant tortoise Arlene to invest in their sure-fire, money-making scheme. Arlene takes the bait. So do all her friends, and they discover the hard way what a Ponzi scheme is.
