The Slow Turtle for 10-Year-Olds: How Turtles Carry Their Homes and Take Their Time

Hi! Let's learn about the slow turtle.

Turtles are very interesting animals. One special thing about them is that they never hurry.

Why? Because they move slowly, step by step, without rushing. This is why we call it the slow turtle.

Another amazing thing is that a turtle carries its home with it. What does that mean?

• A turtle has a hard shell on its back.
• This shell acts like a house or a safe place.
• If danger comes, the turtle can go inside its shell and hide.
• This shell protects the turtle, just like your house protects you.

Because the turtle always has its home on its back, it does not need to rush or look for a place to live.

This way of life teaches us to be patient and to carry what we need with us, just like the slow turtle.
