Deep in the blue ocean, a little turtle named Timo swam with his fish friends.
Swish… swish… swish…
He played with bubbles…
chased shiny fish…
and floated happily.
One day, Timo swam near the shore.
He saw something new.
Light… bright… warm…
“Oh!” he said.
He slowly climbed out of the water.
Step… step…
The ground felt different.
“Hmm…” he said.
He looked around.
So many new things!
Tall flowers—
sway… sway…
“What are those?” he whispered.
Then—
flap… flap…
Butterflies flew by!
“Oh!” Timo jumped.
He quickly pulled his head in.
Hide!
A deer ran past.
Tap-tap! Tap-tap!
“Oh no!” Timo hid again.
A rabbit hopped—
hop! hop!
“Too fast!” Timo tucked in.
Then—
thump… thump…
A big elephant walked by.
“So big!” Timo hid deep inside his shell.
Everything felt new.
Everything felt scary.
Timo stayed very still.
Quiet… quiet…
After a while, something soft touched his shell.
Tap… tap…
“Hello?” said a gentle voice.
Timo slowly peeked out.
It was a little rabbit.
“Are you okay?” asked the rabbit.
Behind him stood a deer…
and a butterfly…
and even the big elephant.
“We won’t hurt you,” said the deer softly.
The elephant lifted his trunk.
Splash!
A little water fell gently on Timo.
“Just like your ocean,” the elephant smiled.
Timo blinked.
“Oh…” he said.
“Come play!” he said.
The butterfly fluttered slowly.
Flap… flap…
The deer walked gently.
Step… step…
The rabbit hopped in circles.
Timo slowly came out of his shell.
Step… step…
The grass tickled his feet.
“Hee hee!” he giggled.
He followed the butterfly.
Step… step…
He watched the rabbit hop.
He listened to the birds sing.
Chirp… chirp…
He even rode on the elephant’s back.
Up… up…
“Wheee!” he laughed.
The world was not scary anymore.
It was full of friends.
As the sun began to set, Timo looked around.
“This place is like my ocean,” he said.
“Different… but fun!”
The animals smiled.
“You can visit anytime,” said the elephant.
Timo nodded happily.
“I have friends here too!”
That evening, Timo went back to the water.
Swish… swish…
But now he knew—
There was a whole new world waiting for him.
Moral: New things may feel scary at first, but with friends, they become fun and beautiful.
