At the last school exhibition of a

This animal is most always found in the

The turkle cannot fly. If he was the
right kind of bird he could fly; but if he
was a goose bird or an ostrich he could
not fly. Tiie turkle has four paws
and a mouth like the American eagle,
which makes the British Lion and the
Uniform tremble. The turkle has a
shell, and sometimes folks put fire on it
and the turkle era vis out. When the
turkle crawls out of his shell he is very
wet and sticky. There are two kinds
of turkle. the mud turkle and the other
kind. We don’t have any other kind
in our pond. French and Irish people
eat turkle and frogs, but I would not
like to. I caught a turtle once, but it
