When I was very young, we used to live in Florida, a place I will never forget. These were the happiest days of my life, and I loved riding down one of Florida´s highways and to feel the wind whistle through my hair. One day, we went down a highway, but strangely nobody else appeared to be there. Well, maybe not any humans, but an animal was there. It was laying in the center of the road, blood red, and seemed to be dead: hit by a car.

Quickly my mother pulled into the parking space (this highway had those) while I stayed in our car. ¨My dear god,¨ I heard her say. ¨It´s a turtle, and it´s still alive!¨ We had an empty bin in the back, and some water and blankets from the supermarket, so my mother filled it with water, picked the Turtle up, and put it in the water, then put the blanket over it. We drove it home and me, eyes wide, gaped at the bloody turtle floating in the bin. It was alive, but it´s shell was torn off. We fed him lettuce and kept him in a cool area.
My mom, a very talented lady with clay, made a artificial shell for him, and we flipped him over and she wrote ¨Be free, and live a wonderful life.¨ We healed him up, and drove to the nearest lake, where lots of pesky bugs were living. Together, we placed him into the water and he darted off. As he did so, I could have sworn he smiled at us.
