Polly the Snail

Polly is a garden snail. She lives in a beautiful vegetable garden near a
pond. She is one of the many snails in the garden. She slides and plays with
her snail friends every day.
Polly and her friends eat the leaves of the vegetables in the garden. They
are always hungry. They like to know the different taste of leaves of the
healthy and green vegetables there.
Polly goes around and takes small bites of each of the leaves every
day. If she likes the taste of a leaf, she eats it immediately. Soon, all of the
vegetables had holes in their leaves.
One day, Farmer Jane went to visit his garden. He looked at the vegetables
and gave a loud cry. “Who did this to my beautiful vegetables?” Polly
saw Farmer Jane. She looked around for somewhere to hide. She buried
 herself under a brown leaf and hid inside her shell.
Farmer Jane checked his garden and saw the many snails on it. He
picked them one by one and placed the snails in a plastic bag. He did not
find Polly who was hiding in her shell. Then, Farmer Jane went away.
Later that day, the farmer went back with a white duck. He happily
left the duck in the garden. Polly saw the white duck. The white duck saw Polly too.
