Read the story Easy English
Timmy was a little rabbit who lived in a cozy burrow. One day, a big storm came and scared Timmy. The storm swept Timmy far away to a small quiet island. Timmy felt alone and missed his home. He looked around sadly and saw tall green trees, soft yellow sand, and gentle waves. Then he saw a big friendly turtle named Shelly. Shelly smiled kindly and asked if Timmy was lost. Timmy whispered softly that he was far from home.
Shelly told Timmy not to worry because she could help him. They sat together on the sand and watched the blue ocean. Timmy said his home was across the sea. Shelly said it was a long swim, but they could go together. Timmy felt happy. They made a plan. Shelly would lead the way, and Timmy would hold on tight. They walked to the water edge.
Shelly dipped into the cool waves, and Timmy climbed onto her back. Shelly swam slowly and steadily while Timmy held on tight with his paws. The sun shone brightly and little fish swam by. Timmy felt safe with Shelly. Soon, Timmy saw land far away and shouted joyfully. They reached the shore safely. Timmy jumped off, happy to be home, and thanked Shelly. They became friends forever.
