One day, a baby snail (蜗牛) found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell at any time. He was confused (困惑的), so he went up to his mother and asked, “Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy ” His mother said “Because we don’t have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”
The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar (毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she can’t move quickly. Why can she live without a shell ” The mother snail answered, “That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can protect her.”
The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm (蚯蚓) moves like us. He has no bones and he won’t turn into a butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard and heavy shell ” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”
The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him. “That’s why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don’t have the shells, what will happen to us Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we’ll have nowhere to sleep. What’s more, we’ll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don’t depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”

作文
Dear Peter,
I'm very happy to share my ideas about reading with you. Now most students have much homework to do every day. As a result they don’t have good reading habits. Moreover, they spend much time playing computer games and chatting on the Internet in their spare time. Every day I read books for about half an hour, and I like reading history books best.
I think reading can help us get knowledge, so we should spend as much time as we can reading and read more good books. Reading can not only make us clever and smart but also help us get more knowledge. And it's also helpful to make us grow happily. Good books help us relax after a busy day.They also open up a whole new world to us. Reading is always a wonderful time. The more books we read, the better we will become.
All the best
Li Ming
