In a sunny meadow, [Tilly](RM4PJTXG) the turtle spent her days watching the birds fly high in the clouds. She wore her little red scarf as she gazed at them with wonder, dreaming of soaring like they did.

[Tilly](RM4PJTXG) the turtle loved watching the birds soar high above the trees. She would sigh and whisper, 'Oh, how I wish I could fly too!'

One morning, [Tilly](RM4PJTXG) told the birds, 'I want to fly just like you!' The birds chirped and giggled, 'But turtles don’t fly!' [Tilly](RM4PJTXG)’s shell drooped. 'Maybe I can learn...'

[Tilly](RM4PJTXG) made a plan! She collected big leaves, tied them with vines, and made her very own 'wings.'

[Tilly](RM4PJTXG) climbed the tallest rock she could find. 'Ready… set… fly!' she shouted — and leaped! For a moment, she felt the wind lift her… Then SPLASH! right into the pond!

[Tilly](RM4PJTXG) floated sadly. 'Maybe turtles were never meant to fly,' she sighed. A kind butterfly fluttered by. 'But you already do fly — just in your own way,' she said softly.

‘See,’ said the butterfly, ‘you swim gracefully in the water. That’s your sky, and your shell is your wings. You don’t need to fly like birds to be special!’

[Tilly](RM4PJTXG) smiled. She started gliding through the pond, twirling and diving. Fish clapped their fins. Frogs cheered. She didn’t fly in the sky — but she flew underwater!

The next day, the birds saw [Tilly](RM4PJTXG)’s beautiful water dance. 'Wow! You really can fly — in your own way!' they chirped. [Tilly](RM4PJTXG) giggled, 'Everyone has their own kind of wings!'

From that day on, [Tilly](RM4PJTXG) never wished for wings again. She had found her own — right where she belonged. ✨ Moral: Be proud of who you are. Your magic might just look different — but it’s still magic! ✨
