Patch's Lucky Star (2)

Patch's Lucky Star (2)

Patch did not want to be special.

She just wanted a normal shell so everyone  would stop looking at her star patch.

Patch would hide away most of the day in the tall grass.
She would go to her favorite spots on the pond only when she knew no one was around.

Most days Patch just tucked herself up inside her shell and stayed there.

Patch liked staying inside her shell very much.
It was dark and quiet and Patch could be all alone.

Most of all, though, Patch did not want to have to look at her own shell.

She thought the big yellow star patch was terrible.
In fact, she thought it made her whole shell look terrible.

So Patch stayed inside her shell.
