The strange egg //“Payton!” shouted her mom. “Get up!” (Yawn) // // Payton got out of bed got dressed in a pink and orange shirt and pants. She looked at her alarm clock and yelled, // //“Mom it’s only 7:30 in the morning”. //  //Payton’s Mom yelled back, “Eat breakfast. We need to go. Payton remembered that she had to go to Jesse’s house because her mom was going to the hospital to go to work. Just then mom called //  //“Come-on it’s time to go!” //  // Payton quickly brushed her wonderful blond hair and raced downstairs for breakfast. When she was finished her breakfast she ran out to the car to go to Jesse’s. Mom drove to Jesse’s house and dropped Payton off. Payton gave her Mom a huge hug and kiss and said, “bye Mom.” //  //“Same to you honey,” mom said. Jesse was waiting for her at the door //  //“Hi Jesse,” she called //  // Hey!” Jesse said back! “I asked my mom if we can go to the beach.” //  //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“ Ya,” said Payton. Jesse’s mom took them to the beach. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“I’ll pick you up at 8:30, his Mom said. Jesse and Payton got out of the car and yelled. “Last one in is a slimy egg!” They both ran to the beach and it was a tie. They jumped in. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“ Look there are insects in the water. We can catch them,” said Jesse. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“Okay,” Payton said. // //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> “There was a book in the car about insects and eggs. I brought it along,” said Jesse. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“Yes, that is a great idea,” explained Payton. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> Jesse saw something in the water and said, “What is that?” Payton looked down. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“ I don’t know.” Jesse picked up the book and flipped the pages. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“I think it is an egg.” They played at the beach for hours. Then Jesse’s mom came to pick them up. Jesse still had the whatever it was in his hands. Jesse and Payton went to the car. There was a jar in the car so Jesse got the egg and put it in the jar. When they got home Jesse filled it with water and asked his mom, // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“Do you know what this is”? His mom looked at it and said // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“I would not have a clue what it is. Maybe it will hatch we will see. If it doesn’t we will ask a scientist at the aquarium they will know what it is.” // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“Okay,” said Jesse. “Hey mom, can Payton sleepover because she helped me find it?” // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">Jesse’s mom said, “If her mom let’s her!” Payton called her mom and asked her if she could sleepover. Her mom said yes. It was already 8:30 when Payton got off the phone. They both went to bed. In the morning they looked at the jar and nothing had happened. Later Jesse’s mom went to the aquarium and asked the scientist what it was. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“No I don’t know what it is but keep it in case it hatch’es,”said the scientist // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">When Jesse got home he kept it in a jar. Jesse got up early the next morning and he saw a little thing in the water. Jesse screamed, “Mom!” Jesse ran downstairs and explained the egg had hatched. They both ran upstairs to Jesse’s room where he had the jar. Mom looked at it and she said // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“We will go see the scientist and see if she will know now.” They went in to the aquarium. The scientist looked closely at the critter and said, // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“It is a turtledove.” Jesse and Jesse’s mom looked at it too and it had a turtle head, a turtle tail and a turtle shell and the rest of it was like a dove. The scientist said I want it. // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%;">“No it is mine” said Jesse //
