THE LITTLE TURTLE
Reading edition
A Recitation for Martha Wakefield, Three Years Old
There was a little turtle. He lived in a box. He swam in a puddle. He climbed on the rocks. He snapped at a musquito. He snapped at a flea. He snapped at a minnow. And he snapped at me. He caught the musquito. He caught the flea. He caught the minnow. But he didn’t catch me.
