How a snail crossed the road and became famous in the process

Once upon a time there was a little snail called Shelly. She lived in a pretty garden full of flowers and lush grass, where she spent her days slowly crawling around and exploring everything around her. Shelly was different from the other snails because she always had an insatiable desire to have new adventures and explore unknown places. She loved to crawl everywhere and keep her curious eyes on everything around her.

 

One day, while Shelly was sitting on a leaf enjoying the raindrops, her eyes fell on the road that ran along the edge of the garden. She had seen so much of the world, but the other side of the road was still a mystery to her. She couldn’t explain what was waiting for her beyond the road. The desire to explore this world became so strong that Shelly decided to set out and explore the unknown terrain.

 

Shelly bravely set out to reach the other side of the road. She crawled and crawled and crawled, but there seemed to be no end to the road. Cars drove by continuously and people hurried past without noticing her. Shelly felt her crawling speed slow down and she started to get a little scared. What if she didn’t make it? What if she got hit by a car? Despite her fear and uncertainty, Shelly decided to keep going. She knew she could do it if she just tried hard enough and listened to her inner voice. She remembered to focus on her goal and ignored all the distractions around her.

 

And suddenly something amazing happened. A little girl stopped and looked at Shelly. “Oh, what a cute snail!” the girl said. “She really needs to cross the road!”

 

The girl picked Shelly up and carried her carefully to the other side of the road. Shelly was so relieved that she had made it, and so grateful for the girl. But that wasn’t the end of the story.

 

The girl took Shelly to her kindergarten and showed her to all her friends. “That’s Shelly, the snail that crossed the road!” the girl exclaimed excitedly. All the children came over and admired Shelly. Shelly was happy and proud. Not only had she managed to cross the road, but she was now famous!

 

And so Shelly lived happily ever after, knowing that she was a brave and famous snail. And when she wasn’t exploring the world, she liked to crawl around in her snail shell and think about all the adventures she had had.
