Once upon a time, there was a group of reptiles who lived in a swamp. There was a herbivore turtle named Turtley, an omnivore alligator named Al and a carnivore snake named Slinky. They were all friends and loved to play together.
One day, they were playing a game of hide and seek when Turtley stumbled upon a secret passage in the swamp. The others followed and they discovered an underground world filled with treasure! The only problem was that they had to crawl through a false crawl, which meant they had to push their plastron (the bottom of their shell) against the scutes (the bony plates on their carapace, or top of their shell) to get through.
Turtley tried to go first but kept getting stuck because he was too round. Al offered to go next, but he was too heavy and also got stuck. Finally, it was Slinky's turn. To everyone's surprise, Slinky was able to slither through the false crawl with ease! He claimed the treasure for himself and returned to the swamp, boasting about his new riches.
Turtley and Al were upset but then had a brilliant idea. They went back to the false crawl and put their carapaces together, creating a giant shell that was able to make it through the crawl. When they reached the other side, they found that the treasure was just a pile of leaves. They laughed and realized that the true treasure was their friendship.
From that day on, the three reptile friends never stopped adventuring and having fun together, no matter what obstacles they faced.
