But more then anything in the world, Lenny dreams of being a hero. Every night after his mom gives him his nightly glass of bug juice and tightly tucks him into his turtle bed, Lenny closes his eyes and his imagination fancifully fills his little turtle head with magic, mystery, and exciting adventures.

Sometimes, Lenny dreams that he is a brave turtle knight saving innocent turtles from monsters, dragons, and mayhem.

Sometimes, Lenny imagines that he is the smartest, strongest, and most popular turtle in Shellville. All of the other turtles cheer as Lenny walks down the street.

But every morning Lenny wakes up and realizes that it was just a dream. He is not a brave knight. He is not strong. The other turtles at school tease him everyday because he cant run as fast or play as well as everyone else.
