In a quiet pond, a curious turtle named Tina lived happily with her friends. One day, Tina woke up and realized she could talk! She was so excited to share this news with the other animals.
"Guess what, everyone?" Tina said. "I can talk now!" The other animals were amazed and couldn't believe their ears. "Wow, Tina, that's incredible!" said the friendly duck. "What are you going to do with your new talent?"
Tina thought for a moment and then had a brilliant idea. "I know! I'll tell jokes and make everyone laugh." So, Tina spent the day telling silly jokes to all her friends. The frog croaked with laughter, the fish giggled, and the ducks quacked with joy.
But then, Tina realized she had a problem. "Oh no, what if I can't stop talking?" she worried. Sure enough, Tina couldn't stop herself from telling more and more jokes. She talked all through the night and into the next day. The other animals tried to get some rest, but Tina's constant chatter kept them awake.
Finally, the wise old owl had an idea. "Tina, my dear, you need to take a break and rest your voice." Tina agreed and took a long nap. When she woke up, her talking had returned to normal, and she was happy to have her regular turtle voice back. From then on, Tina only talked when she had something important to say, and her friends were grateful for the peace and quiet.
