Two turtles, the leader and the slave, are crawling along the plane from point $A$ to point $B$. They crawl in turn: first the leader crawls some distance, then the slave crawls some distance in a straight line towards the leading one. Then the leader crawls somewhere again, after which the slave crawls towards the leader, etc. Finally, they both crawl to $B$. Prove that the slave turtle crawled no more than the leading one.
