| The Story of Twilight
Turtle |
| Nestled at the bottom of
a lazy creek is a beautiful heart shaped pond with golden water
lilies, fluffy cattails, and a clear view of the open sky. It
was the perfect place for Papa Turtle to teach his new baby
all the wisdom that he once learned from his own papa. |
| Every day they would follow
the lazy creek from sunset until the stars came out before heading
home. This was Baby Turtle’s favorite time because he loved
to find shapes and patterns in the stars. Back at the pond,
he would continue to gaze at the stars with his papa ‘til
he peacefully fell asleep. |
Then one rainy day when they
were headed back, the lazy creek overflowed and turned into
three little streams. The streams went down in three
different directions, but to Papa’s surprise, Baby Turtle
started walking
down the right stream back to the pond. |
| “How do you know the
right way home?” asked Papa Turtle. “We always walk
back toward those stars that look like a puppy,” Baby Turtle
said, pointing up at a group of stars. “You are absolutely
right, my little Twilight Turtle,” proclaimed a proud and
happy father. |
|
| Today Twilight Turtle
helps pass on the knowledge and wisdom that came from
his papa and his papa’s papa before that. |
