Tommy, the Turtle who was too Afraid to Make Friends
Tommy the Turtle was too afraid to make friends. He was separated from his family when he was still very small, and never went out from behind his coral reef mountain. He had often seen other turtles playing nearby, but did not know they were family or friends. He never wanted to explore because he always thought he would get hurt or eaten by predators that lurked in the shadows. This was the way life was for Tommy until a beautiful Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Tilly, convinced him that everything would be okay - that the ocean is not as dangerous as it looks and that his family will always be there for him. This little story by George Green shows that even if you're feeling lonely now, you will never be alone forever. Family and friends are all around us all the time, and they can help us to overcome our fears. For Tommy, after being found by Tilly life would never be the same again. And the same can happen to you!

George Green (14 July 1793 – 31 May 1841) was a British mathematician and physicist, who wrote An Essay on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and Magnetism (Green, 1828). The essay introduced several important concepts, among them a theorem similar to the modern Green's theorem, the idea of potential functions as currently used in physics, and the concept of what are now called Green's functions. George Green was the first person to create a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism and his theory formed the foundation for the work of other scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell, William Thomson, and others. His work ran parallel to that of the great mathematician Gauss (potential theory).
Green's life story is remarkable in that he was almost entirely self-taught. He was born and lived for most of his life in the English town of Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, nowadays part of the city of Nottingham. His father (also named George) was a baker who had built and owned a brick windmill used to grind grain. The younger Green only had about one year of formal schooling as a child, between the ages of 8 and 9.
