Boys Discover Two-Headed Turtle 五个男孩发现一双头龟

The newest resident of White River Bait & Tackle has twice the appetite of the others — it’s a turtle with two heads.

Charles Newby, 7, one of the five boys who found the pint-sized painted turtle and took it to the bait store.

“I’ve lived here a long time, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this,” said Chris Amstutz, proprietor of the store.

A bait shop is a virtual candy store for a turtle. Amy Amstutz, Chris’s daughter, promptly whipped up a meal for the two-headed hatchling.

“My dad pried each mouth open, and I fed it part of a worm,” she explained. “I told dad we probably just needed to feed one head since it’s going to the same stomach.”

（美，27日)白河鱼饵鱼具店里新来的一位客人的胃口是其它客人的两倍－－它就是长着两个脑袋的一只海龟。

查尔斯-牛柏，五个发现这只小巧玲珑、颜色鲜艳的海龟的男孩之一，将海龟送进了这个鱼饵店。

“我在这里住了很多年，从来没碰到过这种事，” 店主科里斯-艾穆司图茨说。

鱼饵店对海龟来说就象是小孩子的糖果店。爱米-艾穆司图茨，科里斯的女儿，很快就给它准备好饭了。

“爸爸把它的嘴一个一个地撬开，我喂给它半条虫子，” 她解释说，“我告诉爸爸也许我们喂它的一个脑袋就行啦，因为它们会通向同一个胃的。”
