Lucy the Little Snail (Lesson: Perseverance)
Beginning: Lucy was the smallest snail in the garden. While other animals zoomed by, Lucy took her time. One sunny morning, the garden announced a race to the Big Tomato. Lucy wanted to join, but the rabbits and squirrels giggled.
“You? You’re so slow!” laughed Rudy Rabbit.
Lucy took a deep breath. “I’ll do my best!”
Illustration suggestion: A bright garden scene with Lucy, a tiny snail, standing bravely beside bigger, faster animals.
Middle: The race began, and Lucy slid forward, slowly but surely. While Rudy zipped ahead, Lucy noticed him stuck in a patch of thorns.
“Need help?” asked Lucy.
“Please,” Rudy sighed.
Lucy helped untangle Rudy, even though it slowed her down more.
As the day went on, many animals grew tired and quit. But Lucy kept going, humming a little song:
“Slow and steady, I’ll get there!”
Illustration suggestion: Lucy navigating tricky paths with determination, while other animals nap or face challenges.
End: By evening, Lucy reached the Big Tomato. She wasn’t the first, but many cheered for her effort. Even Rudy said, “I learned from you, Lucy. Never give up!”
Lucy smiled. “It’s not about winning. It’s about trying your best.”
Illustration suggestion: Lucy proudly munching on a piece of the Big Tomato, surrounded by cheering friends.
