Reading Notes: How the Turtle Saved His Own Life

Reading Notes for: How the Turtle Saved His Own Life by Ellen C. Babbitt
-The King had a place in his courtyard for his sons to swim in
-One day the King has fish put in this lake
-The princes like the fish, but there is also a turtle and the boys have never seen one before and think it is a demon
-The king has the "demon" captured
-An old man suggests that they throw it into another lake so that it will surely be killed
-The turtle asks what he has done to deserve this
-When the king heard the turtle talk he ordered him to be thrown into the lake at once
-The turtle is happy to be thrown in to the lake because he can swim and is now in his old home

Julia almost let out a small giggle because she was so silly to think that this move would have been anything but beneficial. When Julia first arrived in New York, she was really here for the inspiration that this big city w...
