The Garden Snail's Long Way HomeA snail crosses a sleepy garden at dusk and reaches his leaf just as the first star appears.
1. At dusk, Milo the garden snail left the parsley bed for his cabbage leaf.
2. A wide puddle covered the path, so Milo stopped beside a smooth stone.
3. Milo reached the far stone, where a pink petal made a little bridge.
4. Tall grass hid the narrow path, and Milo tucked beneath its soft green leaves.
5. A buttercup folded across the path, so Milo waited beneath a white clover.
6. The garden grew quiet, but a cool cabbage scent came from beyond the marigolds.
7. Milo reached his cabbage leaf and rested beside its cool, curled edge.
8. Milo reached home just as the first star appeared above the sleepy garden.
