Squirt, the Turtle

This is Squirt in his tank next to his tree which has fallen down into the water. Today, after school, Dad took me again to Coney Island. If you've been to Coney Island, you might have seen turtles being sold on the street. Squirt is tiny as a quarter or maybe a little bit bigger. I have to change the water every two days, feed him a pellet of food every two days, and always wash my hands before I take him out of the tank to touch him. Squirt is also the name of my teacher Gwen's turtle. If you're Saya or one of my friends, you will know Gwen. Tonight Squirt is going to sleep in his box near the window.
