How the turtle saved his own life by Ellen C. Babbitt

The King had a lake where the little princes could play
The princes would catch fish and lurk around the river to play
They came across a turtle one day and were terrified because they've never seen one before

The turtle was seen as a demon because of their lack of knowledge
The princes rushed to the king to tell him of the frightening "demon"
The king ordered soldiers to go and catch this demon at once

Once the turtle was captured, they began planning on how they should kill it
After many suggestions, the turtle heard one of them say to throw him in the lake
Excited as he was, he popped his head out crying of such "cruel" action

Once the king saw the action of the turtle, he ordered the soldiers to throw him in the lake
From this, the turtle was saved

The Turtle

One thing in particular would be just hanging out with my friends and enjoying some drinks while we talk about some deep internal issues th

Jess and Jones One summer day, the water was glistening and birds chirping. It had been a fine summer with everything going mighty fine. Out in the fields with cows and horses, there was a house that managed it all. The household of Mr. Madison, who was well-known for his pure humor and intelligence. He had two son, Jones and Jackson, who were everything to him. Jones had a wife, Jess, who was a beloved daughter of Mr. Madison's dear friend. As relationships were sturdy and people were happy, it seemed as if almost nothing went wrong.  On a gloomy afternoon, when everyone had gone out except Jess, there had been weird noises outside. Jess went to take a look, but as she opened the door, a tall man stood there with a grim on his face. Immediately, she saw that it had been Jones's arch enemy, Luther. Luther was a man of extreme sorrow and brought along negative vibes all around him. He had never been happy since the day Jones was able to have Jess. Since their high school
