Tucker Turtle’s Magic Shell. This item is unavailable.Tucker Turtle’s Magic Shell

The idea for this story came to me as I was standing in line at a local gift store and I overheard someone talking about the recent "turtle watch," where people go down to the beach where a sea turtle has laid her eggs in the sand to watch the babies hatch. The woman said that she had heard that many of the little ones don't reach the ocean because they are grabbed up by sea gulls as they run down to the sea. The woman she was talking to remarked that it was lucky that turtles have shells; otherwise, many predators would be able to "have them for lunch." And that was it. Enjoy, Murray Rivette
