一天晚上，男孩们被下水道发出的刮擦声吓了一跳。他们在调查之后，发现声音是来自下水道里的一只乌龟。那群男生意识到它可能是某人的宠物，因此便救了那只乌龟，把它放在盒子里，等待主人来取回。不过，在接下来的三天里，乌龟却莫名地失踪了。男孩们为了找回乌龟，开始了一个营救任务。虽然乌龟最后找到了，但是却依旧每人来认领。在第四天，乌龟又再次失踪了。数日后的一个早晨，男孩们却在一个意想不到的地方找到了乌龟。

One evening, the boys were startled by a scratching sound coming from the drain. When they investigated, they were pleasantly surprised to see a turtle poking its head out of the leaves in the drain. Aware that it could be somebody’s pet, the boys rescued the turtle and placed it in a box to wait for its owner to come and take it back. But over the next three days, the turtle would go missing, and the boys embarked on a seek and rescue mission until they found it. Meanwhile, no one came to claim the missing pet. On the fourth day, it went missing again, and it could not be found for the next few days until one morning… the boys found it. You would never have guessed where it went.

Learning Point: When searching for answers, leave no stone unturned.
