A Great Effort
he snail made slow progress with his
work. He realised that the wood wasn’t
Tsharp enough to engrave his little home.
The tree helped him to get soft and gentle lines
but he needed something harder. He made his
way over to a rock and started to rub his shell
against it. The hard and sharp rock was just
the right tool for a carpenter to make precise
cuts. Now the snail had to be twice as careful
not to damage his home. Time passed and
the snail gained experience. He learned how
and when he needed to rub the shell against
the rock, on the ground or the wood. He used
difering levels of pressure depending on what
he wanted to achieve. Time continued to pass
and the snail’s little home gradually became
more beautiful. Little by little the animals of
the forest came to admire the slow but self-
confdent handy-man at work. The snail carried
on, working tirelessly.
