Why in Database: The turtle appears in this text in the form of one verbal mention, it is given as an example of an animal that you can “change” into in your imagination, using zooformalin.

You are undoubtedly aware that thanks to zooformalin one can temporarily become—or rather, feel oneself to be—a turtle, ant, ladybug, or even a jasmine blossom, with the help of a little botanil inflorescine —subjectively of course.1


1. Pewno pan wie, że dzięki zooforminom można się czasowo stać, to jest czuć się, żółwiem, mrówką, bożą krówką, a nawet jaśminem przy pomocy prebotynidu infloryzującego, oczywiście tylko subiektywnie.
