Ping-pong Balls

This morning we went for a long walk on the beach.  On the way back a couple of teenage boys came down the beach to us.  They showed us what looked like ping pong balls.  They were actually turtle eggs that had been laid this morning and the boys had seen the turtle returning to the sea. The eggs look just like a ping-pong ball and are soft.  Unfortunately turtle eggs don't stand a chance on this beach. If the people don't get the eggs and sell them I'm sure the dogs will find them eat them.  We must have passed the turtle on the way up the beach and not seen her.
