On a hot summer day, a hungry fox walks slowly through a field. He has not eaten since (自从) morning and feels very tired. After a while, he comes to a farm. There, on a tall vine near a fence, he sees a big bunch of purple grapes. The grapes look round, juicy, and very sweet.
The fox’s mouth begins to water. “I must eat those grapes!” he thinks. He wants them very much. First, he stands on his back legs and reaches up as high as he can. But the grapes are too high. Next, he takes a few steps back, runs, and jumps into the air. He almost touches them, but he falls back down. He tries again and again, jumping higher each time. He jumps ten times, but he still cannot reach the grapes. He is now very tired and angry.Finally, the fox stops. He looks at the grapes for a long time. Then he turns around and starts to walk away. As he walks, he says to himself, “I don’t want those grapes anymore. They are probably sour (酸的) and not sweet at all.

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 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.
