A Turtle Helps To Float
One day Bunny was running through the forest. As Bunny was running he saw Frog jumping along. Bunny stopped to say hello to Frog. Bunny asked Frog where he was going. And Frog said that she was going to the pond. Bunny asked if he could come along and join her at the pond. And Frog said yes, that would be great.
Then Bunny and Frog went together to the pond. When they arrived at the pond, there were some big leaves floating on the water. Frog jumped onto the big leaves and was able to sit on top of the water. Bunny watched Frog do that and wanted to try doing the same thing.
Bunny jumped from the edge of the pond onto a leaf that was floating nearby. But when Bunny landed on the leaf, the leaf just went underwater. And Bunny couldn’t float on the leaf. Bunny was much bigger than Frog, and the leaf was much smaller than Bunny.
The leaf was big enough to hold Frog. Bunny swam back to the edge of the pond and wondered what to do now. Just then, Turtle was walking by. Bunny knew that Turtle could swim in the water near the surface. And that Turtle’s shell would stay up out of the water.
Bunny asked Turtle if he could sit on Turtle’s shell, while Turtle swims in the pond. Turtle said that was fine. Bunny hopped onto Turtle’s shell, and Turtle went into the pond. Frog was floating in the middle of the pond on a leaf. Then Turtle swam towards Frog, with Bunny sitting on Turtle’s shell.
When Frog saw Bunny, Frog was impressed. Bunny thought of a good way to float on the water, with the help of Turtle. Then Frog asked Turtle and Bunny if she could jump onto Bunny’s back, while Bunny was sitting on Turtle’s shell. Bunny and Turtle said yes, and then Frog jumped off the leaf and landed on Bunny’s back.
Now Turtle turned around and swam back to the edge of the pond, and climbed back onto the ground. Then Turtle kept walking through the forest. Bunny was still sitting on Turtle’s back, and Frog was still sitting on Bunny’s back. Then Bird was flying overhead and saw Turtle, Bunny and Frog down below.
Bird flew down and asked them what they were doing. Turtle said he was giving Bunny and Frog a ride on her shell. Bird asked if she could join along and sit on Frog’s back. Frog, Bunny, and Turtle said that was alright. Then the four of them were stacked up as Turtle kept walking through the forest.
All of sudden there was a slippery spot on the ground, which turtle didn’t see. Turtle slipped and tumbled over. Bunny, Frog, and Bird all fell off. And Turtle was stuck upside down, and couldn’t turn herself the right way up. Bunny, Frog, and Bird were able to help.
The three of them stood side by side next to each other, and pushed Turtle’s shell. Then Turtle was able to roll onto the correct side again. And Turtle thanked Bunny, Frog, and Bird. Then Turtle said it needed to rest. Bird said that it could go fly and bring a basket of tea for them to share. Turtle, Bunny, and Frog said that would be great.
Bird quickly flew away, and then came back after a few minutes. It had a nice basket with some cups and a container of hot tea. Bunny put a cup in front of each of them. And then bunny poured some tea into each cup. And the four of them sat and enjoyed some tea together, while Turtle rested. Then they decided they would take a nap. And they all laid down, and closed their eyes, and went to sleep, slowly slowly slowly.
