Tosi's Colorful Day

Good morning, Tosi! The sun is high and warm. The little turtle peeks his head out from under a soft green leaf. He is ready for a big, bright day.

Pit-pat, pit-pat. Tosi walks slowly on the grass. He sees a big, bright yellow flower. The flower looks like it is smiling at him.

Tosi leans in to smell the flower. “Achoo!” The yellow pollen tickles his tiny nose. Tosi giggles and shakes his head.

Suddenly, a blue flash zips through the air. It is Flutter! Flutter is a butterfly with beautiful blue wings. She dances in circles around the yellow flower.

Tosi looks up and smiles. Flutter does a little flip in the sky. Now, they are new friends. Hello, Flutter! Hello, Tosi!

“Follow me!” Flutter seems to say as she glides away. Tosi moves his little legs faster and faster. I wonder where they are going?

Tosi goes up and down the small hills. Finally, he reaches the edge of a big, blue pond. The water looks very cool and sparkly.

Tosi leans over to look at the water. He sees another turtle looking back! It is just his reflection. Tosi sticks out his tongue and the reflection does it too!

Flutter flys down and lands softly on Tosi’s green shell. Tosi feels very happy. Together, they start to explore the edge of the pond.

Look! Hidden in the soft grass is a big, red strawberry. It is very round and juicy. Tosi’s tummy makes a little hungry sound.

Munch, munch, munch! Tosi takes a big bite. The strawberry is sweet and tasty. Flutter flaps her wings with joy as she watches her friend eat.

The sun goes down to sleep, and the sky turns purple. Tosi and Flutter close their eyes side by side. Goodnight, Tosi. Goodnight, Flutter.
