You're really lucky, Baby Turtle. You're gonna have big brother who'll make sure you're never late for school or parties. He'll help you with your homework and he'll play fun games with you. But most of all, you're lucky because you'll have Franklin.

Unexpected Encounters Between Franklin and Eagle
Eagle:
A turtle with a snail on his back? I have seen many interesting things, but this is a first.
Franklin Turtle:
You're the monster the green knight has to battle, aren't you?
Eagle:
Monster"? "Green knight"? I am not a monster, young one. I am Eagle, and I have no wish to do battle with you.
Franklin Turtle:
You don't?
Eagle:
No. Now tell me. What is it you are doing here, so deep in the woods?
Franklin Turtle:
We're looking for an old cherry orchard. It's near a lake by the mountain.
Eagle:
I know the one. It is on the other side of the mountain.
Franklin Turtle:
The... other side?
Eagle:
Yes. It will be better if I take you there.

Franklin's Joyful Experiences Through the Seasons
Narrator:
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He loved warm spring showers, hot summer days and crisp autumn winds. He also loved the winter because winter meant snow and playing in the snow made him very happy. One January, when the snow laid deeper and thicker than anyone in Woodland could remember, Franklin was especially happy. Something was about to happen that would change his life forever.
