Mr. Turtle

I found Mr. Turtle stuck in a bucket in my grandma's backyard. I picked up the bucket up to move it but heard something clunking inside; at first I thought it was a big rock but it was a box turtle in the muddy water. After cleaning him off I waited for him to come out of his shell. It took forever but when he finally did he was very brave for a turtle. I could pick him up and his legs would still be walking :) I watched him as he headed for the bushes, there he buried himself halfway and curled back into his shell. I went inside after that (It was really hot out in the sun! Ah, the heat....it was felt good!) and when I came back out he was gone. I guess he probably went under the house to get cool, bye Mr. Turtle!
