TWO CLEVER SNAILS

Snails do not look to us to be very clever. And vet they can find _ their way hone. Here is a true story of twu snails who helped one another One snail was strong and sturdy, and the other was frail and delicate; and thev Jboth lived in a garden where there wasn’t md to eat So the strong ‘| snail climbed patiently up the garden wall and down the other side, to sec what things were like next door! He fonnd there was plentv to eat over there, so after being away abont a day, he came climbing back again to fetch his delicate friend. Somehow or otherwe are not clever enough to know how -he told his good news; and the two snails set off together and made their new home in the next door garden. Now that the weather is getting milder, snails will be beginning to come out of their winter houses They crept into holes in walls and under rubbish last autumn, and sealed up their shells with a thin coating of lime to keep out the cold. Soon they will be opening their front doors to come out again and look for food. Who will he the first to meet a snail out for the summer season?
