The tortoise probably looked something like this.
“You know,” said the Guru, “there’s nothing better than Eternal Happiness.”
“What about a leaf of lettuce?” asked the Tortoise, who was quite fond of the shrubbery.
“A leaf of lettuce isn’t nearly as good as Eternal Happiness.”
“But it’s better than nothing, right?”
The Guru shrugged. “Yeah, I guess it’s better than nothing, but–”
“So if a leaf of lettuce is better than nothing, and nothing is better than Eternal Happiness, then by simple logic, a leaf of lettuce must be better than Eternal Happiness!” And with that, the Tortoise munched a large chunk of lettuce. “Mmm-hmm,” he said.
“I think you’re missing the point,” said the Guru.
“I think you are,” said the Turtle, who was chewing in preparation to swallow.
