Hi my name is cocoa and I am a turtle. I am not a normal turtle, and neither is anyone that lives in the small pond of Purplopolis. We are all purple.

My entire life I have dreamed of the day that I leave purplopolis to live in the big city, also known as the lake.

Every time I ask my parents to visit the lake, they say no. They think I will be made fun of for being purple.

One day I decided to go explore the lake. It didn't take long for me to realize that everyone in the lake are different colors.

Wow, I thought to myself. Everyone has a vibrant color just like me, but there are no purple turtles.

I decided that the lake wasn't as exciting as I dreamed it would be. I think it is time to go home.

On my way home, I came across a small pond. This pond was full of turtles just like me. It was perfect.

I finally realized that this was my home. I also realized that the small pond of purplopolis was the perfect place to live.

THE END


POEM:

It wasn't hard for me to see,
that the best place for me,
wasn't in the big city,
but with my friends and family.
