“Don’t fall! You must not get hurt!” Tom and Joy did not mind. They had not cause to let fools upset them. Then one day, Paul’s hound got loose. All the animals ran. But the turtle could not crawl fast. Soon Paul’s hound had the turtle in his jaws. Tom and Joy ran to help. “Silly hound, put that turtle down,” Joy said calmly. “Turtles are not good to eat. That shell will make your tummy hurt. You will get an awful pain.” Paul’s hound tilted his head and thought a bit. Then he dropped the turtle and trotted away. The turtle told all the animals how brave the cats were. All the animals were in awe of Tom and Joy. They were sorry they teased the brave cats. “You are brave after all,” the turtle said.
