The Tiger asked, “Why did they call us? Is there a problem?” The Parakeet: "Students and their teachers need your help to stop everything harmful to animals and the environment. The water, soil and air are being polluted. Some people ignores the loss of animals’ habitats and species. The world is getting warmer and glaciers are melting. Some of our friends are hunted or tortured for their fur, leather, skin or other reasons. Now it is time to change the ongoing situation!" Animals were in silence. The Dodo gives a long sigh a minute later with a company of shouting birds and insects. The Mammoth: "We are coming with you. If they need our help, we will do our best. But we have a problem. How can we reach to the land?" The Pigeon: "I can fly. But what about you?" With a spirit of adventure and excitement of the brilliant idea that appeared in his mind, the Tortoise turned over his shell and “I can handle it.” he exclaimed as he was looking round at the other animals which were looking hopelessly. Then, he started to tell his brilliant plan. According to his plan, he would call all his tortoise friends in the sea and create a raft from their shells. If they succeeded in swimming tightly next to each other, they would be able to easily move on the sea thanks to this raft of their shells. The Mammoth: "The raft of shells? Are you sure your friends can stay alive? When I stamp on them, we probably go under the depths of the sea together. How will they carry me?" The Tortoise: "Don't worry, big boy. They are so strong that they can carry even a large body like you. "(It giggles.) The Tortoise, who dived into the sea with excitement, returned with his many shellfish friends. He was acting as if he was leading an army and told other tortoises that they had to stay side by side tightly and swim with all their power to cross their friends across. Then all the tortoises lined up side by side and waited for the animals on the island to rise above them. The Dodo Bird, the Wolly Mammoth and the Caspian Tiger got on the raft made of shells. The Tortoise was in front of the group to lead them and the Passenger Pigeon and Carolina Parakeet flew up to continue their way. They left the island, AnimaLand to help students and teachers who devoted themselves to protect all animals.
