How the turtle got its shell
A long time ago the was an old mother turtle named Sally. She was about to lay eggs, so she slowly crawled out of the cool water and onto the hot sand. Sally used her 2 big front flipper to create a giant hole. She laid back and laid 101 squishy and white round eggs. Sally covered the hole with sand. As sally covered the the hole with sand, she started to feel a little dry so she quickly crawled back into the wet water.
A few months later when the sun was setting, the mother eggs started to hatch. One by one, the baby turtles crawled out of the sand and into the night water. But there was only 1 egg left and it hatched yet. At midnight, the last egg hatched. The little turtle crawled out of the sand. He went to find his home. The little turtle couldn't find his home, he was lost in the dark. He was scared and nervous. He had to find shelter.The little turtle saw a little hermit crab crawl into a shell. That gave him an idea. He looked all over the place for the right size shell. Luckily He found the right size shell. The little turtle used all his might to get into the shell and couldn't get out.
