Carpet? It’s more like a swarm of tortoises, to be honest.
When the group first entered the house, they mistaken the carpet for actual floors. When they got closer, they saw there was a swarm of tortoises all around them. They didn’t notice the creatures at first since they were hidden beneath a thick layer of them. The entire crew was, unsurprisingly, taken aback by the discovery and couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.
Despite the fact that Randrianjafizanaka identified the tortoises based on their markings, he was baffled as to how they had all managed to get into this house. Even walking around a room without tripping over something was impossible for the bunch.
