It is a hot summer day．Clara is drinking juice in the yard．Her mom is cutting grass with a lawnmower（割草机）． The lawnmower is loud， and Clara wishes her mom would play with her instead．But mom says the grass is very long and has to be cut．
Suddenly， the lawnmower stops． Clara's mom looks upset． Clara wonders what is wrong． Her mom picks something up out of the grass， and walks to Clara．
Clara's mom has a little turtle in her hand! As Clara looks closer，she sees that one leg is in bad shape．"I think I broke its leg，" Clara's mom says． "I'm really sorry． Will you help me nurse it back to health？"
Clara feels bad for the little turtle． Turtles move slowly， so it probably could not run away when it saw the lawnmower coming． And Clara's mom could not see it in the long grass! It was a mistake， but Clara and her mom will make it right． Clara names the turtle Phillip．
They take Phillip to the vet． The vet takes an X﹣ray of Phillip's leg， and makes sure that it is broken．The turtle gets a little splint （夹板） and bandage． The vet tells Clara that the turtle needs plants to eat，water to drink and a place to live in． Clara and her mom buy a small tank （水箱） for Phillip on the way home．
At home， Clara takes good care of Phillip． She puts water and rocks in the tank．She brings him fruit and leaves to eat， and keeps his tank clean．
After eight weeks， Clara and her mom take Phillip back to the vet， who says that his leg is healthy again． Clara is both happy and sad．Happy because Phillip is better，but sad because she has to let him go．When Clara gets home， she feeds Phillip some fruit，kisses his back and says goodbye，then lets him go in the yard． Clara will always remember Phillip．
