Tippy's Sadness
The Tale of Tippy: The Tiny Turtle
Tippy was a tiny turtle who lived in the big, blue ocean. He often felt sad because he was much smaller than the other sea creatures. The dolphins could leap high, and the octopuses had strong arms. Tippy wished he could be like them. He wondered if he would ever be able to help his friends.

One sunny day, a giant rock fell into the coral reef. It blocked the path for all the fish, dolphins, and octopuses. Everyone tried to move it, but it was too heavy. Tippy watched as his friends struggled. He felt a little sadder, thinking there was nothing he could do.

While watching, Tippy had a clever idea. He thought if everyone worked together, they could move the rock. Tippy shared his idea with the others. At first, they were surprised but willing to try. So, they all gathered around the rock, ready to work as a team.

With everyone pulling, pushing, and lifting together, the rock began to move. Slowly but surely, they cleared the path. Tippy was thrilled that his idea worked. He realized that being small didn’t matter. His heart filled with joy, knowing teamwork made the biggest challenges possible.
