The Tale of Tom the Turtle
by Brian K.L. Kan
James loves eating bananas at the beach. Longing for a tasty treat, he buys a plastic bag full of yummy fruits and sits on a big rock to eat. When he’s finished, he throws the bag into the sea, not knowing he’s just put Tom the Turtle’s life in danger. Tom thinks the plastic bag is a delicious jellyfish, so he gulps it and wonders why his favorite food has no taste. Will Tom be saved? James will realize what he has done…
