The story begins

In the middle of a big forest, two ducks swam in a little lake.

The two ducks had a friend: a turtle who always swam near them.

The three friends spent their days together, swimming and playing in the warm sun.

One summer, a terrible drought turned the lake into a muddy pond.

Day after day, the turtle watched the water disappear.

So the ducks decided to fly away and find new water to live by.

The ducks went to say goodbye to the turtle.

When the turtle heard this, she was very sad, because she needed water too.

The turtle couldn't answer, and she began to cry. The ducks felt sorry for the turtle.

After thinking for a long time, they had an idea.

The turtle loved the idea and agreed without thinking.

And off flew the ducks with the turtle.
