MR. TURTLE'S FLYING ADVENTURE
HOLLOW TREE STORIES - BY - Albert Bigelow Paine
MR. TURTLE'S FLYING ADVENTURE
THE DEEP WOODS ELOPEMENT
IN MR. MAN'S CAR
MR. POSSUM'S CAR
HOW MR. 'POSSUM'S TAIL BECAME BARE
In a sun‑lit corner of the Deep Woods, Mr. Turtle opens his stone cottage to a lively gathering of Hollow Tree friends. While the group enjoys a day of fishing on the Wide Blue Water, each character shows off a quirky catch—a catfish that nearly snaps a pole, a “punkin‑seed” that sparks laughter, and a steady stream of stories from the water’s edge. Their easy chatter and gentle rivalry paint a picture of a close‑knit community that loves both the quiet of the lake and the company of one another.
When the fish finally stop biting, the friends turn their eyes to the sky and spot an eagle swooping for a snake. The sight rekindles an old memory, and Mr. Turtle is coaxed into sharing the one time he truly took to the air. He hints at a daring, long‑ago experiment that involved an eager eagle and a tiny water‑snake, promising a tale of courage, curiosity, and the surprising ways a humble turtle once rose above his shell. Listeners will be invited into this whimsical retelling, where imagination lifts even the slowest of creatures.
