Ananya liked drawing pictures of those turtles, but one day
she decided ' I want a REAL turtle. Not just a picture'. So she
went to the pet store, and asked for a turtle.
"We don't have any turtles." The man in the Pet Store
said. You'll have to find one. Look by the lake."
Ananya was sad that the store had no turtles, but she went
to the lake to look. She found a big, fat turtle, but it was grouchy
and tried to bite at Ananya's fingers. It was getting closer to
her bed time and she really wanted to find a turtle! Then she
found one. A little baby green turtle, as big as her hand. It
was sitting on a pink rock right in the water. Ananya picked up
her new pet and took it home.
Now Ananya's turtle is bigger, and it plays in a little tank in Ananya's room. It's her BEST friend, and his name is Toby.
