In  Room 6, we read a true story about Torty the lucky tortoise who lived up to 200 years old. She was lucky because she was found by a New Zealand soldier in the war in Salonika in Greece in 1914. Torty was run over by a gun carriage and was rescued by the soldier named Stewart. They became good friends. When Stewart came back to New Zealand he brought Torty with him. One day, Torty was lost and was found by a policeman in a circus. The policeman took her back to her owner.

This is my drawing of Torty.
