Our class read a story about a lucky tortoise named Torty. The story happened during the First World War that lasted four years from 1914-1918. A New Zealand soldier named Stewart rescued Torty who got run over by a gun carriage. Stewart and Torty became good friends. When the WAR ended Stewart came back to NZ to his family with Torty. Later, Stewart died.Torty lived with Beth, Stewart’s daughter. One day Torty got stolen and sold to a circus. Beth called the police and she got Torty back. Torty was lucky because she was saved and had many adventures. She is now over 200 years old.
