One day an old man was out flying his spectacular ship above the clouds. Suddenly a bunch of tremendous turtles came
flowing swiftly past the old man and his flying ship. In the wink of an eye he had a marvellous
idea in his head, he grabbed his rope and tossed it round the glowing turtles
head.
He was hoping it would pull his creaky ship for
him but no! The calm turtle wobbled and wiggled as much as he could so that the
rope would snap.
Suddenly the rope did snap .The old man was so upset
he started to cry. He thought he was the most unluckiest man in
the world.
Luckily
one more turtle came flowing calmly past.
He had to make a quick choice. To
jump on to the turtle, which is a risk of losing his life, or stay here with no
food, which would eventually end his life.
He decided to jump PLOP! He landed on the shell of the turtle.
