 Polly the Snail

Polly is a garden snail. She lives in a beautiful vegetable garden near a pond. She is one
of the many snails in the garden. She slides and plays with her friends everyday.
Polly and her friends eat the leaves of the vegetables in the garden. They are always
hungry. They like to know the different taste of leaves of the healthy and green vegetables there.
Polly goes around and takes small bites of each of the leaves every day. If she likes the taste of
the leaf, she eats it immediately. Soon, all of the vegetables had holes in their leaves.
One day, farmer Jane went to visit his garden. He looked at the vegetables and gave a
loud cry. “Who did this to my beautiful vegetable?” Polly saw Farmer Jane. She looked around
for somewhere to hide. She buried herself under a brown leaf and hid inside her shell.
Farmer Jane checked his garden and saw the many snails on it. He picked them one by
one and placed the snails in a plastic bag. He did not find Polly who was hiding in her shell.
Then, Farmer Jane went away.
Later that day, the farmer went back with a white duck. He happily left the duck in the
garden. Polly saw the white duck. The white duck saw Polly, too.

stay in dark places and hide. He listens to her with half an ear not really believing
in what she says. “How could they not like me? I have beautiful, shiny wings and
long antenna. Surely, they would love me,” he thought. Then, Buddy saw a black
