One day in summer, little Jack was playing on the beach with his father. Suddenly, he saw a little tortoise moving slowly on the sand.

He touched it again but the tortoise didn't move at all. Jack became angry. He used a stick and tried to force(强追) it to open.

“Just wait and see, ” his father replied. Then he picked up the tortoise and put it in a bag.
