Question

One day, three turtles decided to have a party. So they went into a cafe and ordered three cups of coffee. However, the lovely weather suddenly turned into heavy rain. The oldest turtle said to the youngest one, “Go home and get the umbrella.”

“I will, if you don’t drink my coffee.” the youngest answered.

“Of course! We won’t drink your coffee!” the other two turtles said. The youngest turtle then went to the door to leave. Time flew by quickly and two years passed. The two turtles were still at the table waiting. The oldest turtle said to the other one, “Well, I guess he isn’t coming back, so we can drink his coffee.”

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. It was from the youngest turtle. “Oh, no! If you drink my coffee, I won’t go.” he said.
