My turtles

I’m used to having pets at home because my family is pet lovers. I have kept some
turtles since February 2017. I put them all in one tank in my room.
The name of the male turtle is Donatello and the female one is called Rafael. It is
quite easy to keep them. They can survive without food for about two months. However,
they need a comfortable place to live. They have to live with imported soil and plants,
good water circulation and a piece of dry trunk in the aquarium. Inadequate conditions can
cause not only stress but also affect their growth. The worst thing is they may even end in
their death!
The weapon of an adult turtle lies in its edge of the shell. He will use this weapon
when he is disturbed while he is taking a nap.

 The little Jackal was exceedingly fond of shell-fish, especially of river crabs. Now there came
a time when he had eaten all the crabs to be found on his own side of the river. He knew there must
be plenty on the other side, if he could only get to them, but he could not swim.
One day he thought of a plan. He went to his friend the Camel, and said,–“Friend Camel, I
know a spot where the sugar-cane grows thick; I’ll show you the way, if you will take me there.”
“Indeed I will,” said the Camel, who was very fond of sugar-cane. “Where is it?”
“It is on the other side of the river,” said the little Jackal; “but we can manage it nicely, if you will take
me on your back and swim over.”
The Camel was perfectly willing, so the little Jackal jumped on his back, and the Camel swam
across the river, carrying him. When they were safely over, the little Jackal jumped down and showed
the Camel the sugar-cane field; then he ran swiftly along the river bank, to hunt for crabs; the Camel
began to eat sugar-cane. He ate happily, and noticed nothing around him.
The little Jackal had eaten his fill by the time the Camel had barely taken a mouthful. The little
Jackal had no mind to wait for his slow friend; he wanted to be off home again, about his business.
So he ran round and round the sugar-cane field, and as he ran he sang and shouted, and made a
great hullabaloo.
The villagers heard him at once. “There is a Jackal in the sugar-cane,” they said; “he will dig
holes and destroy the roots; we must go down and drive him out.” So they came down, with sticks
and stones. When they got there, there was no Jackal to be seen; but they saw the great Camel,
eating away at the juicy sugar- cane. They ran at him and beat him, and stoned him, and drove him
away half dead.
When they had gone, leaving the poor Camel half killed, the little Jackal came dancing back
from somewhere or other. “I think it’s time to go home, now,” he said; “don’t you?”. “Well, you are a
pretty friend!” said the Camel. “The idea of your making such a noise, with your shouting and singing!
You brought this upon me? Why did you shout and sing?”
“Oh, I don’t know why,” said the little Jackal,–”I always sing after dinner!”
“So?” said the Camel, “Ah, very well, let us go home now.”
He took the little Jackal kindly on his back and started into the water. When he began to swim he
swam out to where the river was the very deepest. There he stopped, and said,–
“Oh, Jackal!”. “Yes,” said the little Jackal. “I have the strangest feeling,” said the Camel,–”I feel as if I
must roll over.” “`Roll over’!” cried the Jackal. “My goodness, don’t do that! If you do that, you’ll drown
