Okay, folks: here's the introduction to my story. And since he hasn't met anyone yet, I won't count it as an entry.
The Adventrues of Tooter the Turtle
Once upon a time, on an island far, far away, a very special turtle was born. Tooter, for that was his name, didnt know that he was special; after all, he had just come out of his egg. Like all newborn turtles, he knew he had to reach the safety of the ocean, lest he be devoured by the evil birds and beasts that roamed the land. So he took off, running as fast as his four little legs would carry him, towards the pounding waves of the surf. However, as he ran, he was distracted by the most glorious sight: a beautiful glass ball, lying on the beach. Now remember I said Tooter was special? What made him special was that he was a curious turtle. Because of this, even though he knew the safety of the water was beckoning him. He stopped to examine the glass ball.
Thats the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen! he thought to himself. Now you might say that since he was newly born, that wasnt saying much of import. However, he was right. That glass ball was beautiful; it had all the colors of the rainbow swirling through it and glowed with the most amazing magical light. Being the curious turtle he was, he moved closer and closer to the ball, never noticing the evil gull flying towards him, planning on making lunch of him. Just as the gull was about to reach him, he touched the cool, glass ball with his nose and POOF! He and the ball disappeared!
And so the adventure begins
