Success
inter came and went. One
morning the tiny snail was
Wbathing in the drops of dew.
Sitting in the sun, he was admiring the
nature all around. He was happy. He had
decorated his house in the best way that
he could and he was pleased with his
work. Suddenly, out of the clear blue sky,
a woodpecker swooped down beside
him. Woodpeckers are known as the best
carpenters in the forest. The bird had heard
the story about the snail-carpenter and he
wanted to be see the snail’s craftsmanship
with his own eyes. The woodpecker
inspected the snail’s little home from all
sides and then few into the air. He circled
the house a few times, examining each side
thoroughly. When he had fnished, he again
landed down beside the tiny snail. The
woodpecker looked the snail in the eyes,
paused for a moment and bowed his head.
This was a great honour for the tiny snail
because woodpeckers only bowed to master
carpenters.
