Bedtime Stories for Kids: Grandma Rose Official Collection

In the vast and beautiful ocean, lived a young, green turtle named Tony. At only two years old, Tony was incredibly shy, and whenever he felt embarrassed or scared, he would retreat into his shell, which would blush a bright red. One day, a group of mischievous dolphins, led by the particularly mean-spirited Danny and Derek, discovered Tony and began to relentlessly tease him about his blushing shell. Heartbroken, Tony hid, sobbing, until a kind and wise lobster named Lulu happened upon him. Lulu, seeing his distress, offered him a clever plan. She advised him to stay hidden in his shell the next time the dolphins appeared, and then, at the moment they least expected it, to spring out with a mighty roar. Tony, filled with a newfound sense of hope, agreed. The next time the dolphins came to bully him, he followed Lulu’s advice perfectly. He sprang from his shell with such surprising force and a loud roar that the terrified dolphins sped away and never bothered him again. This act of bravery transformed Tony. He became confident and outgoing, making many new friends, and even finding a girlfriend. He learned that it’s okay to be shy, but that true courage comes from facing your fears when you are ready.
