There’s a tall tree in the forest. A little snail lives at the bottom of the tree. One day, he wants to climb to the top of the tree. He wants to see the big world. Snail: I’m a little snail. I have a hard shell. I want to see the big world. (He climbs slowly along the big trunk. Here comes a naughty monkey.)

Monkey: Hey, Mr Snail. Look, I have a long tail. I can climb fast. You climb so slowly. You can’t climb to the top of the tree. Snail: Perhaps I can’t, but I’d like to try. (Then he climbs again, step by step. The sun is shining brightly. It’s getting hotter and hotter. At this time, he sees a beautiful parrot in the tree.)

Parrot: Hey, Mr Snail. Look, I have beautiful wings. I can fly high. You have no wings. You can’t fly. You can’t get to the top of the tree. Snail: Perhaps I can’t, but I’d like to try. (It is still a very long journey, but the snail does not give up. He starts to climb again, step by step. When he climbs across a big branch, he sees a giraffe.)

Giraffe: Look, Mr Snail. I have a long neck and four long legs. I’m tall. You’re so little. The tree is so tall. You can’t climb to the top of the tree. Snail: Perhaps I can’t, but I’d like to try. (He climbs and climbs, step by step. Now, the little snail is out of breath. He is getting close to the tallest branch. At last, he climbs to the top of the tree. He sees the beautiful world.)
