"The Turtle Shell"


One day as I was walking home from my friend’s house, I found a blue, and orange striped shell. There was something funny about this shell. As I picked it up, a turtle popped out of the shell.

I took it home and put it in my pool. Boy could it swim fast. I then took it out of the pool and put it on the ground. It moved so slow.


When my mom came home from work, she asked me what was I doing? I explained to her that I had found a turtle and I asked her if I could keep it. She said yes, as long as I kept it outside. I played with it every day.


About month later my dad accidentally ran over my turtle. I was so sad.


That night my dad woke me up. He told me that he had gone everywhere to search for turtle, but could not find one like the one that I had found. He asked me if there was any other pet that I might want.


I decided to get a Ginny pig. I named the Ginny pig Jorge, just like me. He became my new best friend.
