The Turtle Who Wanted to Make Friends is a Sesame Street story read by Bob. Sheldon the Turtle, or Shelly (performed by Jim Henson), is new to the forest and wants to meet his new neighbors, but he fears that they won't like him. Every time an animal comes along, Shelly cowers into his shell and is left unnoticed. Bob, who becomes frustrated with Shelly's hiding, tries to convince him to stick his head out of his shell and introduce himself the next time another animal approaches. __NOWYSIWYG__
