Once upon a vast ocean there was a turtle named Chikai who was very scared to get the rock to go look for his mother.She went out for food one day ago and never came back.Chikai was scared that she was dead!So he started to cry.

Then a goldfish peeked out of the water and said,"Turtle why are you crying we already have enough water in the ocean we don't need any more".

Then the turtle said,"My mother has been gone for a day and I'm starving and I don't know where to look".

The fish said,"Why don't call for Willy? Oh by the way my name is Gordy.What's yours?"

The little turtle said," My name is Chikai.Who's Willy?"

The orange fish said,"Why you haven't heard of Willy? He's the orca whale who goes all over the world in a week!"

The turtle was amazed! He then said,"Where can I find him?"

Then Gordy said,"You'll see him today at noon."Then he looked at the sun and said,"Wow, that's right now!"

The turtle said,"Great!" Then there was a blow of air and water right next to Chikai it almost blew him off the rock!

Then,Willy said,"Did someone say my name?"

"I did" said Chikai.

"What's up my little turtle friend?"

Chikai said,"Have you seen my mother?"

"Is this her?" Then a large turtle with fish in her mouth climbed in the rock.

Chikai said,Yes! This is my mother!" "Where we're you mother?" "

Willy took me on a ride yesterday and I lost track of time.But from now on I'll take you with me!"

The End
