The story is about Avocado the turtle, she is different from everyone, she is named after food, she loves to come out of the shell and talk to people. These characters of Avocado were disliked by the turtle community as they won't come out of the shell and did not like to talk with each other. Avocado love to make conversation. She tried to change herself but it was not possible and nobody talked to her as she was different. she felt she was left out. The turtle community planned to get rid of her and made her live the territory saying not to come back.
Now Avocado doesn't have a home and nobody to talk which hurts her. she felt alone and she pulled herself into the shell for a long time. She heard knocking in the shell and came out to see the giraffe. The giraffe asked her why she was not talking, she tried to be silent but she couldn't resist as someone tried to talk to her and explained all about turtles and their community. The name of the giraffe was lemonade, lemon consoled her, and was happy Avocado was herself and doesn't try to change for others.
Lemon wants to befriend and introduced other friends to her, Honey the Bee, Bacon the pig who liked her company and the way she was. she played and enjoyed with them. Be yourself and be true to yourself. Many may not understand you and there are many who likes you for what you are.
