The Long Legged Turtle

Mama turtle knows it’s time, so she makes her way back to the beach where she was hatched to lay one hundred soft-shelled eggs. With love and care, Mama turtle covers her little pit, and two long months later, her babies emerge. Ninety-nine little sea turtles flip-flop their way down the beach and into the ocean, but one does not. The last baby turtle is different—special. He doesn’t have flippers like his brothers and sisters. Instead, he has four long legs. The others call him Long Legs.
