A little turtle climbed up the trunk of a tree. She crawled along a branch to the end, then she jumped off and fell to the ground with a thud.
She walked back to the tree trunk, climbed up, crawled along the branch to the end, and jumped and fell to the ground again.
Again the little turtle walked over to the tree trunk, climbed up, crawled along the branch to the end, and jumped, with the same result.
In a nearby tree a couple of pigeons were watching. After a while one said to the other, “Honey, don’t you think it’s about time we tell her she’s adopted?”
