English Original
Tilly is a shy turtle. She has no friends. If anyone came by to talk or play, she would duck into her shell and wait until they went away.
Then one day, Freddy the frog came swimming by.
"Tilly, don't hide in your shell. I just want to play." But Tilly was too shy.
"No. No. Just go away."
Freddy the frog had many friends. He knew all the fish, he liked the dragonflies, he joked with the ladybugs, and he hung out with the bees. But his best friend was Betty the Butterfly.
Freddy told Betty, "I don't think Tilly the turtle likes me. Whenever I ask her to come out and play, she hides in her shell and won't come out until I go away."
Betty said, "I think Tilly likes you, but she is very shy and lonely. You should keep asking her to play. One day she will come out of her shell."
Freddy liked Betty's advice and kept asking Tilly to come out and play.
One day, he said to Tilly, "You can't have any friends if you hide in your shell. I think you should come on out and give it a try."
Tilly was lonely and knew that Freddy was right. She had no friends because she always hid.
So, Tilly poked her head out and looked all around. She was amazed at how many new friends she found.
中文翻译
蒂莉是一只害羞的乌龟。她没有朋友。如果有人过来聊天或玩耍，她就会缩进自己的壳里，直到他们离开。
后来有一天，青蛙弗雷迪游了过来。
“蒂莉，别躲在你的壳里。我只是想和你玩。”但蒂莉太害羞了。
“不，不。快走开。”
青蛙弗雷迪有很多朋友。他认识所有的鱼，喜欢蜻蜓，和瓢虫开玩笑，还和蜜蜂们一起玩。但他最好的朋友是蝴蝶贝蒂。
弗雷迪告诉贝蒂：“我觉得乌龟蒂莉不喜欢我。每次我请她出来玩，她都躲在壳里，直到我走了才出来。”
贝蒂说：“我觉得蒂莉喜欢你，但她非常害羞和孤独。你应该继续邀请她玩。总有一天她会走出自己的壳。”
弗雷迪觉得贝蒂的建议很对，便继续邀请蒂莉出来玩。
有一天，他对蒂莉说：“如果你总是躲在壳里，就交不到任何朋友。我觉得你应该出来试试。”
蒂莉很孤独，她知道弗雷迪说得对。她没有朋友，正是因为她总是躲起来。
于是，蒂莉探出头，环顾四周。她惊讶地发现自己找到了这么多新朋友。
