¹     "Good morning boys and girls. I'm Keith Trace, host of Amazing Animals. Today, we've got a real treat for you. He is one of the wettest guests we've had here. He's left lots of sand all over the place here. His name is Jimmy, and he's a loggerhead turtle. Hello, Jimmy."
 
²     "Hi, Keith. Sorry about the sand."
 
³     "No problem, Jimmy. We have a vacuum cleaner."
 
⁴     "I took a walk along the beach. I've been leaving sand everywhere."
 
⁵     "A walk along the beach sounds nice."
 
⁶     "Not really, Keith. It was a lot of work."
 
⁷     "How so?"
 
⁸     "It's a long story. Being born as a loggerhead turtle is a lot of work. My mom swam hundreds of miles to lay eggs in the same spot where she was born. It was on a beach in Florida."
 
⁹     "Florida's nice. I hear the beaches there are very pretty."
 
¹⁰     "They are, Keith. But there are also lots of people there."
 
¹¹     "Is that a problem?"
 
¹²     "Yes. Loggerhead eggs are tiny and are easily destroyed by humans and pets. On many beaches, there are protected areas just for turtle eggs. Sixty days after my egg was laid, I hatched and had to make a pretty long trip."
