Jack loved ice cream. He wanted to have ice cream every day.
On his birthday, Jack wanted ice cream, but his parents gave him a pet turtle as a present instead. Jack tried to teach his turtle to play games, but it couldn’t carry a ball in its mouth. It couldn’t jump high or run very quickly. Jack didn’t really like his turtle. He thought it was a boring pet.
One day, he took the turtle out of its box and found it didn’t move. Jack took it to his mom. “Mom,” he said. “My turtle is not moving. I think it’s dead.”
“Don’t be sad,” she said. “We’ll put him in a box and bury (埋) him. Then we’ll go to the store and have some ice cream to make you feel better.”
Ice cream! Jack began to feel happy. Then his mother saw the turtle move.
“It’s all right!” she said. “Your turtle isn’t dead after all!”
“Oh,” said Jack. “Can I kill it?”
