Patch's Lucky Star (3)

Patch's Lucky Star (3)

One day, Diamond and Snapper walked by Patch's hiding place.

They came up and tapped on her shell.

" Patch ! " they called.
" Come exploring with us. "

But Patch just stayed very still in her shell.

Soon, Diamond and Spapper went away.

Later that day, Patch heard her mother's voice outside her shell.

Poking her head out, Patch was surprised to see Diamond and Spapper's mother there, too.

" Have you seen Diamond or Snapper ? " Patch's mother asked.
" They've been gone for several hours. "

" They went exploring, " Patch told her mother.

Diamond and Snapper's mother shook her head.
" We'll have to go looking for those two, " she said.

" It is getting dark."

" You stay here, Patch, " her mother said.
" We do not need another lost turtle.
