| ME, and the crowd: | Turtle: | |
| Just raking some leaves out of the way in the garden… | What the hey, man? Who’s messing with my mellow? | |
| My Rake hits something hard…. | Where’s my camouflage going? What a rude awakening! | |
| What the heck is this? | Acckkk, I’m going airborne! Retreat, retreat! | |
| Ackk, it’s moving! | Whoaaa, what goes up must come down, but where’s my parachute? | |
| Hey Blondie and Tot – want to see a turtle? | Oh great! Now I’m on display like a circus elephant. | |
| I put the turtle down near them… | Well, if you think I’m going to do some neat tricks, you’ve got … | |
| Blondie gets up close and personal with said turtle | Ackk, retreat! Retract all appendages! Whew, that was close… | |
| Hey I wonder if it’s Yertle? | Who the heck was that coming at me at the speed of light?!! | |
| Yertle, come out, come out, Hey look! he’s peeking out | Is the monster gone yet? Time to book it out of here! | |
| Look at Yertle go! | Hey I see jungle ahead, maybe I can hide.. | |
| He’s trying to snuggle up to the tomato plants… | And who’s this Yertle they keep calling me? | |
| Now where’s he going? | Guess I will have to make a break for the woods and freedom | |
| He’s almost stuck – teetering on the peaks of the tilled dirt. | Man, where did all these moguls come from? | |
| He gave up… No, he saw Blondie… | Ackkkk, reverse, reverse! and kick in the turbo charge! | |
| Look, He’s hid his head in the grass | I’m no Yertle, Dr. Suess, just a quiet little fellow named Mack… | |
| Guess we better leave him alone… | Aw stiddleficks, why, why, WHY did I have to hide under THAT leaf pile? | |
| That was fun! | Just breathe… breathe, breathe…. Does this qualify as torture? |
