Herman and Snail were friends, or so Snail thought. Herman was always putting Snail down for moving so slow and being in the back. Snail would not take it to heart. He would simply say, “Slow, but steady.”
Snail was always reminding Herman that, by being in the back, he could watch Herman’s back and warn him about any danger. And that’s what friends are supposed to do. Herman would just cut his eyes(避开XX的目光) at Snail and keep on complaining.
One day, Herman talked snail into(说服)going up on shore at the beach where they lived. Snail didn’t think it was such a good idea, especially since his mother had warned him about his dad being plucked up(叼走) one day by a hungry sea gull while out on the shore.
They never saw him again. Herman just kept on teasing(缠着)Snail. “You just momma’s boy, a momma’s boy. Besides, I’ll be there to watch your back. I’ll let you walk in the front so I can make sure nothing happens to you.” Finally, Snail gave in and they ventured onto the shore.
Just as Snail began to feel a little at ease and started chattering about the sights that he was seeing, he got so excited that he didn’t notice that he was talking by himself.
Then he turned to tell Herman, “Thank you for making such wonderful suggestion,” he saw a huge sea gull coming toward him. Snail, froze righter there. He was so scared that he forgot to duck into his shell for safety.
All of a sudden, he remembered his mother’s warning, but it was too late--the sea gull scooped him up and took him away. Herman was hiding in his hole, watching the whole thing and not saying a word…not even breathing.
Herman waited until it was dark and slowly came out of the hole and made his way back into the waves to go back home. He was working in his mind the story he would tell Snail’s mother explaining what happened to snail.
When Herman had his lie…story together, he went slowly up to Snail’s house and knocked onn the door. To his surprise, Snail answered the door. Herman fainted. BAM! When he awakened, Snail and his mother were learning over him.
Herman said, “I thought you were gone forever like your dad. What did that old sea gull do to you?” Snail said, “Nothing. He just talked to me.” “What did he say to you?”
“He asked me, ‘Didn’t your mother ever warn you about the dangers of wandering off(徘徊)in the wrong places at the wrong time?’” and I said to him, “Yes sir.”
“That’s all he said to you?” “No. He told me, I need to choose better friends. Goodbye, Herman.”
“Snail what are we dong tomorrow,” said Herman?!
“I don’t know about you Herman, but I’m finding a NEW FRIEND!”
