Tale of a Tiny Turtle

Hey what have we got here!? Hiding inside the plants under the mailbox! Do you see it?

Now do you see it? A painted turtle! A pretty painted turtle lost in town...

A new creature? Jazzy's instantly curious... better get the turtle away...

So we put him in a tub... and gave him some weeds to chew on...

and went to get the keys to take him to a nearby pond... but oops! he got out...

So we got a taller bin...

and took him on a drive in the car...

to a pond near the entrance of our neighborhood...

and let him out... he got out quickly!

looked all around...

and soon enough, found his way to the water
slipped in...

swam around...

and made himself home!

Good Bye, Brave Little Turtle, have a terrific day!

And so we found out
that a good deed a day
keeps our blues away!
(at least for a day)

  2. It is! I'm guessing it's a painted turtle, but I'm not absolutely certain it is... if anyone knows, please let me know.
