One day, a snail was very hungry. So, he climbed up a tree and started eating the leaves on a branch hanging over the stream. As he was eating away, he suddenly slipped. He fell on a small rock in the middle of the water. The poor snail did not know what to do. He had no idea as to how to get back on land again. The snail was stuck there. Suddenly, he saw a duckling swimming by. He called out, “Hey, can you help me? I am stranded on this rock. Please get me off the rock.” The duckling was very helpful. He held out his wing for the snail to crawl onto. Then he carried the snail back to the land. The snail thanked the duckling for her help. The snail decided to be more cautious from then on. Both the snail and the
duckling became good friends.
