Along time ago in the American bushland there was a turtle who lived in a treehouse. His name was Toby the Turtle. Toby the Turtle was so sleepy, exhausted and awful. He had a Mum whose name was Tilly the Turtle. Tilly the Turtle was so nice. She was Toby’s Mum.
Then Mum turned around and Toby was gone. Mum didn’t know where Toby was. Mum looked in the kitchen and the lounge room and the bathroom. Mum couldn’t find Toby but the Mum knew where he was. In his bedroom! There he was in his bed. Mum was so mad at Toby! Toby didn’t care.
“Toby get out of bed now! Get out of bed right now or I will smack your bottom!”
“Alright I’m getting out of bed. Now I will wake up every day,” said Toby.
Now everyday Toby gets out of bed. Mum gave him a big cuddle.
