The Funny Turtle
by Jacqueline

Once upon a time there was a turtle who thought he was a fish. A fish told him, “You are a turtle!”

“I’m not a turtle!” the turtle said. He was sure he was a fish. Turtle was faster than the other fish in the pond. He ate all the food and he swam in the spot the fish slept in.

“We don’t look like you.” the other fish would say, “You are too big. You are green and brown. You don’t look like us.”

“Fine!” said turtle. “I will go to the Pacific Ocean and look for other fish like me.”

The other fish said, “You might see a shark! You better stay here.”

“Maybe, I will meet a whale instead!” said the turtle.

“No you won’t because you will stay with us,” said the fish.

“Fine, I will stay with you!” said the turtle.

“You are a turtle but you can stay with us!” exclaimed the fish

“I am a turtle,” said the turtle. And he lived turtley ever after.
