It's recess time for the animals in Mrs. Fowl's class. Some of the chickens like to tease E.G. Eagle because he's different from them. E.G. is sad until he sees them tease Turtle--and Turtle is proud of being different. E.G. ends up flying to save a chicken, and everyone finds out he's special. No one will be teased anymore.
Turtle and his friends E.G. Eagle, Prissy Chicken, and Buster Chicken have a lot of fun together, but sometimes Buster teases his friends and calls them hurtful names. Then sometimes Prissy and E.G. join in on the teasing, even though they know it is not a good thing. One day, during baseball practice, Buster begins to complain about Turtle being slow and others join him. So, Turtle withdraws into his shell and refuses to come out until his friends apologize. At first, everyone apologizes but Buster. However, in the end, Buster apologizes and shows that he's beginning to understand about feelings.
