book 1

In the beginning of the world, when the world was new, all animals would be busy building shelters and collecting food for their children. But there was one animal called the Turtle, it was a large creature: it had a short neck, small face and a dark green colour covering its lumpy body. It lived on a beach in south America where seagulls and other fascinating animals hunted for the species known as the turtle.

The next day, a Crab, who was walking very slowly, warned the Turtle about a seagull.

“Don’t go outside.” “The seagulls will get you.” Mumbled the crab, whilst he was trying to find some food.

“Whatever,” replied the turtle

"Well that’s not very kind,” thought the Crab and walked off to tell the lobster.

Moments later, a blue and black lobster entered the cave, with a giant fish in his mouth “Hello there.” “Are you coming to get some food with me”

“Sorry I can’t.” “I will get eaten,” explained the Turtle.

“oh ok.” “be careful,” replied the lobster.

As mornings passed, a seagull, who was up to no good, was trying to snatch some food of other animals until he saw a turtle trying to hide in a cave.

Within seconds, a genie, that had a green and white suit on, appeared from the shadows and shouted, “you have one wish and one wish only.”

The turtle face lit up with a right smile. “I wish for a shell,” announced the Turtle.

“As you wish,” shouted the genie.

With a snap of a finger, the Turtle had a green, bumpy shell on his back and from that day forward the Turtle had a she to protect him from them nasty seagulls.
