I Wanted The Turtle To Be Safe
Author: siggyI wanted the turtle to be safe. On my way home, I drove over a turtle that was near the middle of the road. I was concerned about it. I didn’t want anyone to run it over, so I pulled over and went back. It was a five inch long box turtle–fairly big as far as box turtles are. It was about 2/3 of the way across, and when it saw me it scooted the rest of the way across, heading toward a brook. When I approached it again it just withdrew into its shell. I was glad it was safely across the road. Then I drove home.
