Résumé

"Mr. Turtle's Flying Adventure" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a delightful tale set in the enchanting world of the Big Deep Woods. The story begins with the Hollow Tree residents-Mr. 'Possum, Mr. 'Coon, and the Old Black Crow-visiting their friend Mr. Turtle, who lives by the Wide Blue Water. During their visit, Mr. Turtle recounts an adventurous episode from his youth involving Mr. Eagle and Old Man Moccasin, a fearsome water-snake. Mr. Turtle narrates how he narrowly escaped being caught by Old Man Moccasin, only to be picked up by Mr. Eagle, who intended to make a meal of him. Through quick thinking and a bit of luck, Mr. Turtle manages to escape, landing safely in a marsh meadow. This tale is followed by other charming stories, including the Deep Woods Elopement, where Mr. 'Possum shares a romantic escapade involving his cousin Minty Glenwood and a hired man named Winters. The narrative continues with the Hollow Tree friends' thrilling experience of riding in Mr. Man's automobile, facilitated by Mr. Dog. The story captures the essence of friendship, adventure, and the whimsical nature of the Deep Woods inhabitants. Paine's storytelling is rich with humor and imagination, making it a captivating read for both children and adults.
