Snip and Slim<br />
Snip the snail was snacking on a stem. She did a quick<br />
scan of the backyard, and then slid down into the soil.<br />
She was looking for Red the rooster. This morning, Red<br />
had pecked her shell. Snip yelped in shock, but Red did not<br />
stop. Spot the dog was quick to help. He snarled at Red<br />
and scooped Snip up. Then, he put Snip on the stem to<br />
rest.<br />
Red was not in sight, so Snip sped off to see her friend,<br />
Slim. As Snip got to the steps, Slim the slug slid out from<br />
under an old stump.<br />
‘It will be winter soon,’ said Slim. ‘We must look for a snug<br />
winter nest.’<br />
‘A stork or a spoonbill or Red will not catch us if we are in<br />
a snug nest,’ sniffed Snip.<br />
So, Snip and Slim crossed the garden bed to hunt for a<br />
snug spot.<br />

They checked for Red and then set off. But they did not<br />
get far. Snip and Slim fell into a ditch.<br />
‘This ditch is too smooth. We are stuck,’ gulped Snip.<br />

But Slim was smart. ‘I can see a stick,’ he winked. Snip<br />
and Slim slid up the stick with skill. They huffed and puffed<br />
and left a silver trail.<br />
At the top, they saw a small slipper. It was old and stiff,<br />
but it was snug. ‘This will be a good nest,’ said the pals.<br />
