Toto Turtle Takes Time to Tuck and Think
(an adaptation)

Toto turtle is a terrific turtle. He likes to play with his friends Freddie
Frog, Coco Crocodile and Lucky Duck. Toto is kind and honest. But
sometimes things happen that can make Toto really mad. When Toto gets
mad, he used to hit, kick or yell at his friends. Then his friends get upset
sometimes they get mad too. They hid, kick or yell at Toto. Mama Turtle is
sad that Toto gets mad easily. “Toto,” she says, “You’re a good turtle
except when you’re mad. I’ll teach you a way not to get mad easily.’ It’s
called “Think like a Turtle.” “Think like a Turtle?” asked Toto. “Yes,” Mama
Turtle answers. Just follow these four steps:
1. Know your feelings (Are you starting to feel angry?)
2. Think and tell yourself: “Stop”
3. Tuck yourself inside your shell and take three deep breaths. If you
still feel bad, take more deep breaths.
4. Come out when calm and think of a solution
The next day, Toto is playing with his friends when he is hit by a ball.
Toto starts to feel mad. He yells, “Ouch! Who threw the ball? Was it you,
Coco?” Coco says, “I am sorry, Toto. I did not mean to hit you!” Toto starts
to walk to Coco to hit him but he remembers what Mama Turtle said,
“Think like a Turtle.” Toto stops and thinks, “Why do I feel mad? Coco did
not hit me because he wanted to. I got in the way of the ball.” Toto tucks
his head inside his shell and takes three deep breaths then three more
deep breaths and then two more. Then, he looks at Coco. “It’s alright,
Coco. But be careful with the ball, okay?”
