Once upon a time there was a turtle who had a best friend named Tiana, who was also a turtle.

They both had their very own dream. The turtle dreamed of having a wonderful job. Tiana dreamed of taking an adventure in the human world.

They both tried to make each other dreams come true.

One night Tiana asked turtle to come with her to the human world. ?Are you sure we could go to the human world?? asked the turtle.

?Come on! Let’s go there’s nothing to worry about!? said Tiana.

?If you say so,? said the turtle in a worried voice.

They swam up and up and up until they reach the surface. They went to the shore and the first thing they saw was a beach cottage with a bunch of lights on.

The turtle was getting hungry. Then Tiana saw something that looked sort of like a jellyfish. They both took a bite.

But the turtle took a bigger bite because he was hungry. It wasn’t the taste of jellyfish though. It tasted more like something ruff and it was really weird.

But what they didn’t know was that the thing that they just ate was actually a plastic bag that the people had thrown away.

Then they continued to explore the human world after a week they went back to the sea because the turtle wasn’t feeling well. Tortoise’s mom just thought that the turtle was just having a cold.

1 month later…

The tortoise was not getting better. He was getting worse. His mom took him to the hospital.

The doctors said it was really bad and that the turtle might not live. The turtle was in the hospital for a couple of days.

Many turtles visited him including Tiana. Tiana said it must be because of the thing that they ate at the human land. Because Tiana also got sick .

But Tiana only got sick a little bit because she didn’t eat a lot of the thing. After another day the tortoise could not handle it anymore.

The tortoise had died. The turtle had a funeral. Everyone was sad. Tiana was so sad she couldn’t even come to the funeral.

After the funeral the news that the turtle died went so famous it even got famous at the human land. Everybody at the human land all learned not to throw away plastic into the ocean.
