About me and my turtle:

I am Ahmed Gamal. I am fifteen. My own hobbies are playing computer games, playing football, swimming and adoring wild live. Two month ago, I went to my village which located on the Nile and has spread green land. It is one of Assiut’s small village . I have had tour along the green land , then I found two small tortoises, some boys take one ,

They played with it uselessly. It became tired and died.

I have taken the other . I loved it and I want to take care of it and see how it brings up .So I made a small hut with some grass around it and a small pool for it. It is a lovely thing. Each time I look at it happily . It became my dear friend. I feel joy to do a valuable thing. It is a gift from God to care of a lively creature.
