Once there were three baby turtles. Rory, Jude and Ayden.

They lived near the pond in the woods. The pond had rocks and fish and reeds in it. It was their home.

One night the turtle father woke up and the turtle babies were gone.

He went to look for them, and found them swimming in the pond. He said, “Thank goodness I found you. I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

“Let’s go back to bed and come back for a swim in the morning. Then we can have your favorite food for lunch.” “OK Daddy Turtle,” said Rory, Jude and Ayden and they followed their daddy home.
