B
It was a hot summer day. Clara was drinking juice in the yard. Her mom was cutting grass with a lawnmower (割草机). The lawnmower was loud, and Clara wished her mom would play with her instead. But her mom said the grass was very long and had to be cut.
Suddenly, the lawnmower stopped. Clara’s mom looked upset. Clara wondered what was wrong. Her mom picked something up out of the grass and walked to Clara.
Clara’s mom had a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looked closer, she saw that one leg of the turtle was in bad shape. “I think I broke its leg,” Clara’s mom said. “I’m really sorry. Will you help me nurse it back to health?”
Clara felt bad for the little turtle. Turtles move slowly, so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming. And Clara’s mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake, but Clara and her mom would make it right. Clara named the turtle Phillip.
They took Phillip to the vet. The vet took an X-ray of Phillip’s leg and made sure that it was broken. The turtle got a little splint (夹板) and bandage. The vet told Clara that the turtle needed plants to eat, water to drink and a place to live in. Clara and her mom bought a small tank (水箱) for Phillip on the way home.
At home, Clara took good care of Phillip. She put water and rocks in the tank. She brought it fruit and leaves to eat, and kept its tank clean.
After eight weeks, Clara and her mom took Phillip back to the vet, who said that its leg was healthy again. Clara was both happy and sad. She was happy because Phillip was better, and she was sad because she had to let it go. When Clara got home, she fed Phillip some fruit, kissed its back and said goodbye, and then she let it go in the yard. Clara would always remember Phillip.
