Timmy the Turtle's Adventure

In a bright, colorful world, there lived a little turtle named Timmy. Timmy loved to explore the big, blue ocean. He swam slowly, watching the shimmering fish and dancing seaweed.

One sunny day, Timmy found a shiny shell. “What a treasure!” he thought. But when he tried to carry it, it was too heavy!

Timmy learned that sometimes, it’s okay to ask for help. His friends, the playful dolphins, came to assist him. Together, they made a beautiful home for the shell.

Timmy smiled, knowing that friends make every adventure better! Just like in Eric Carle’s stories, friendship is a treasure!
