A turtle left the lake.

It was excited.

All it had ever wanted was to be out

It wanted adventure

out

of the water

and now

...

It was stuck

A turtle was on the side of the road.

It just wanted to go home.

It did not belong

outside of the water.

The world was drier that it had thought.

It just wanted to go home.

But people came

and took it

farther than it had

been.

It waited and

waited. 

Finally,

the humans figured out

where the turtle was 

supposed to go. 

The turtle saw the water.

It stuck its head

out of its shell.

The human put it

down.

The turtle was home.
