A Turtle Visits

Max found a turtle in our backyard one day and alerted us by barking at it continually. Timmy was enthralled with it so we put it in the empty kiddie pool and watched it. Later that day Timmy took the turtle out and put it over the fence into the neighbor's yard. The turtle, of course, wandered away. I don't think Timmy knew the turtle would do this. We spent awhile looking around the yard for it, until he told us where he'd put it. He was a little bit sad that the turtle was gone. We told him it probably went back to the nearby creek where it lives. Now every time we drive over the bridge across that creek Timmy says, "That's where that turtle is."
