Lindy the Turtle part 1

Once upon a time there was a turtle named Lindy. Lindy was a very lonely turtle. She went to school at AFES (Animals of the Forest Elementary School) in Edmonds, Washington. At lunch she sat by pond, alone. No one would ever talk to her. Even in class when she would raise her hand, teachers would call on someone else. She was very excluded.

One day she was eating her peanut butter and leaf sandwich when she heard a plop, into the pond. She immediately looked up, but she didn’t see anything. She went back to eating her sandwich. A few minutes later she thought she heard what sounded like sobbing. Lindy looked, but still didn’t see anything. She knew something must be out there, so she decided to explore. Lindy started to slowly walk around the pond. After about 5 minutes she saw something. It was out in the middle of the pond sitting on a lily pad. Lindy looked very hard to try and identify it, but seeing as she had bad eyesight, it was kind of hard. She called out, “Are you okay?” to the green figure on the lily pad, but got no answer. “Is every thing alright?” she tried again.

After several seconds she heard very faintly, “Go away, I don’t want to talk to anyone!”

“Why not, what’s wrong?” said Lindy.

“ I said go away!” shouted the green thing.

Lindy didn’t like to hear people sound upset like that. She decided to swim out to the lily pad to try and comfort the green thing. Lindy didn’t have much swimming experience, but she was going to try anyway.

Lindy stuck her front left foot into the pond. The water was cold, but Lindy didn’t really care though. She slowly emerged her entire body into the water. She started to swim out to the lily pad. The lily pad seemed farther away then it had on land. After a few minutes she reached the lily pad. When she looked up she discovered that the green thing had been a frog.

Lindy asked the frog, “What’s wrong?” She was breathing very hard. She hadn’t had a workout like that in a long time. The frog asked Lindy if she was all right. Lindy said yes, but then quickly started to sink.
