IVY HAT animal lives the
" longest? Well, let lie
AM elephant lives long while.
And parrot does, too. OF
course, a parrot isn't an animal.
A parrot is a bird, but he lives
many, many years. And so does
the turtle. Turtles live for
hundred years.
Once / had a turtle OF which /
was very fond. My father
owned him before l got him and
he was very old. He used to
roam around our back yard in the
summer. And in the autumn he
would dig a hole, crawl in and
sleep until the sun warmed the
earth in the spring.
When he knew spring had
come, that turtle would climb
from his hole and enjoy life TN
til the cold weather came again.
But once he made a mistake
and crawled out of the earth into
the wrong back yard.
We watched for him and
watched for him when spring
h, came, but no turtle came up in
our back yard.
Finally a neighbor called over
the back fence:
Here is your turtle! He came
up over here-probably got lost"
And wasn't I glad to find my
little friend! The back yard didn't
seem the same without him.
When took him to my mother
she said:
Now. my dear, this fall we'll
not trust him to dig in the dirt
for his winter sleep. Wen put
him to sleep right in our own
cellar in nice warm basket.
That autumn when Jack Frost
started to leave his traces on the
ground, we took the turtle to the
cellar.
What fun it was putting him
to bed for his long winters
sleep! We packed him all around
with dirt and moss. 1t was
coy bed, I can tell you. in that
basket. Then we left him in tho
cellar. 1 often looked at his bas-
ket, just to make sure he was
all right.
