Turtles like lettuce. Turtles like clean water, light, shade, moisture, and sometimes a basking lamp. She may even need to set up a turtle pen outside since turtles often hibernate in\u00a0the fall.

All these things were rehearsed to Angela in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Angela had never felt happier or more excited about a birthday gift before. Everywhere she went, she took her turtle with her. She washed and\u00a0painted her turtle. She took her turtle to the park, to the candy shop, to the\u00a0library, to the grocery store \u2026 .
