Why Snails Move So Slowly
Long ago, Sammy the snail carried no house. He moved quickly. One day, Sammy wanted to go to watch the sea. It was a long way away. On the way, it rained. "Oops, I should take an umbrella. It will rain again." Then, Sammy went back and took an umbrella. Later, he hurt his tail. "Oh, I should take some bandages." Then, Sammy went back and took some bandages. Suddenly, a bear came by and almost stepped(踩)on him. "Hey, watch out! I should take a flashlight. " Then, Sammy went back and took a flashlight. "I may feel hungry." So he took some bread and cake. "I may feel thirsty." So he took some water and juice. "I may feel tired." So he took a pillow(枕头)and a sofa. "l may feel bored." So he took balls, books, and puppets(木偶). Sammy worried more and more. There were so many things to take. "Why not take the house with me?" Now Sammy the snail carries his house every day. Thus, he moves slowly.
