The Adopted Turtle

The turtle was sad because he was not getting adopted. He was not wanted by any turtle families but a family of crocodiles adopted him instead. His step brothers would bite his tail, bully him and tell him to go back to the swamp. His step-mom would protect him and when his brothers moved out he found out what home should feel like. He felt warm and protected.
