Torty the lucky tortoise

I am learning about torty the lucky tortoise. He is a tortoise that has a big shell on
it back. A solider saw a tortoise walking on the ground while a gun carriage was
coming by. The solider run to grab the tortoise when it was to late and it get ride over.
The tortoise had two deep grooves on it's shell. Lucky the tortoise was still alive .
The solider took the  tortoise with him back to New Zealand.
