Retold By: Inez V A Silly Snowy Day http://www.flickr.com/groups/creative_commons-_free_pictures/

In the beginning of the story it was winter time. It was time for the tortoises to go to sleep. One tortoise didn’t want to go to sleep, and her name was Shelley. I don’t feel sleepy. http://www.flickr.com/groups/creative_commons-_free_pictures/

Shelley said “I want to see what winter is like !” “Ridiculous” her parents said at the same time. http://ww.flickr.com/groups/creative_commons-_free_pictures/ Ridiculous No it isn’t

After that her parents fell asleep and she left outside. When a duck saw her and the duck said Ridiculous and then made fun of her. Ha- quake-ha http://www.flickr.com/photos/blupic/1833420531/

Later Shelley met a dog, cat, and a bird, and they all made fun of Shelley. Shelley began to feel sad and started to cry.

She tripped over a rock and went back to where the duck was. Shelley said I don't have a beak but I have a shell.

Mrs. Tortoise woke up and said you haven’t been outside. Shelley said a tortoise out in the winter. Before Shelley could say ridiculous she was fast asleep.
