Tucker Turtle'S Magic Shell

The idea for this story came to me as I was standing in line at a local gift store. I overheard someone talking about the recent turtle watch, where people go down to the beach where a sea turtle has laid her eggs in the sand, to watch the babies hatch. The woman said she had heard that many of the little ones dont reach the ocean because they are grabbed by seagulls as they run down to the sea. The woman she was talking to remarked that it was lucky that turtles have shells; otherwise, many predators would be able to have them for lunch.And that was it.Enjoy.Murray Rivette
