Mrs Turtle's Lucky Escape It was a very hot day. Mrs Turtle came out of the river where she lived. She walked along the river bank. There she found a tree, which she could rest beneath and keep cool. Soon she was fast asleep. A big bird sat on a branch in the tree. The bird was hungry. It flew down near Mrs Turtle. She woke up just in time. Quickly she hid inside her hard shell until the bird went away. Back she went into the water, where it was much safer.
