Tommy Tortoise and His Water Adventure

Tommy Tortoise lives on land; water is not his thing. He stays at the edge of the water, watching his turtle friends play and splash in the river. They invite him to come in, but he’s afraid to try swimming. Tommy stays on dryland, sad and lonely.

But his friends see him and understand his problem, so they swim back across the river and climb out. That way they’re all able to spend time together!

After it begins to rain, all the animals are wet, and Tommy flips over and slips toward the water. With the encouragement of his friends, he decides to be brave and try something new.

Now he can spend time with his friends and enjoy the water in ways he couldn’t before.

In this children’s story, a tortoise who is afraid of swimming discovers that with his friends’ encouragement, he has the courage to try something new.
