Tommy Turtle Gets Lost: Educational Version

By Caitlind L. Alexander

One day Tommy Turtle got up early and took a bath. After he was all clean he sat down and ate his breakfast of turtle mush, which he didn't like.
Then Tommy decided to go out for a walk. He walked up the street and around the corner and down the block. He ended up at the park.
Tommy Turtle walked around and smelled the flowers. He rolled around in the nice clean grass. Then he lay on his back and watched the clouds make funny pictures in the sky.
After a while Tommy started getting hungry. He decided he'd better go home. But Tommy couldn't remember how to get home! Tommy Turtle was lost.
Tommy went over to Mr. Penguin who was selling popsicles. “Mr. Penguin, I'm lost. I don't know how to get home,” Tommy cried.
“Let me see if I can help you,” Mr. Penguin said. “What is your full name?”
“I don't know,” Tommy said. So Mr. Penguin called a policeman. The policeman took Tommy to the police station. It took a long time to find Mr. and Mrs. Turtle. Finally they came and took Tommy home.
But the policeman could have helped me get home because I know that my full name is _______________________________.
