up through the sand and away. All of them, except the
littlest turtle. He wiggled and wiggled up, up, up and out

The little turtle heard a voice say, "Go to the sea."
Away he went. He
passed a big, black bug, and a crab sunning itself on the
sand. He passed a spider and a big tree. He was
getting very tired and the sun was getting very hot. He
crawled into the shade under big shell. He heard the
voice say again, "Go to the sea." He went on and

and seaweed and little, gray stones. Then suddenly he felt
cold water on his little hot body. Down, down he swam.
