How the snail became slow
One time many many years ago there was a snail was slow like it is now and he had no friends he was lonely. One day red deer was minding his own business when he heard snail crying, at the goodness from his heart he went to the snail and said “why are you crying snail?”
“Im crying because everyone is so much faster than me.” said the snail. So the red deer casted a spell on snail to make him go faster.
On the day When snail got his spell casted on him he saw a poster and it said “come down to the middle of the forest to find the fastest being in the land.” So snail thought time to see how fast he could go.
When he was at the track it looked like a lot of grass but a big ring and he was vs a lion, a tiger and a jaguar. And when the race started I raced ahead with tremendous speed and the lion and the tiger were so far behind his only competition was jaguar but he was to slow for the snail and he crossed the line first and the jaguar lost by 29 seconds and he was not happy. 2 minutes later the lion and the tiger were crossing the line.
3 years later.
Snail was the grand prix racer in all the land and he was so humble and nice for 3 years until he won the biggest race of all time called the race of the of century. He had been preparing for this race for 3 years and he was the least favourite in the hole jungle. He was really nervous because the race was tomorrow and he was vs a deer that came from the forest a fast bird and a cheater he had tough competition but he was just as good as them.
As the race was about to begin he started to feel a weird feeling and as they started racing he started to go slow as slow as he was before his career. He got past the first lap when everybody else had finished. Snail woke up in fright it was just a dream But it felt so real and maybe it was a dream that could really happen.
The next day.
In the morning he was nervous about the dream and he was the underdog so he had a heap of pressure and he was super tired because after his dream he couldn't get back to sleep. When the racers were talking they all looked very confident and snail on the other hand looked very nervous he was talking to the cheater and he said. “Good luck to all and may the best racer win.” He said to snail. “Just don't even try ok you aren't as fast as any of us.” But that just made snail even more nervous.
10 minets
As the clock was coming down to the race the pressure was building up for all the racers even cheetah looked a bit nervous too but then snail remembered one thing his mum she said to him all the time just go for it go big make your shot count and at that moment he felt a lot less nervous in fact he was determined to win today. As they lined up the deer, bird and the cheetah looked tense but I looked confident and calm.

Go and we were off i had a steady start at the middle the catheter was well ahead but he remembered that cheaters get tired in a short amount of time the deer and the bird were neck and neck and i was catching up to cheater and he looked tired but he was still going i took the lead just then i was heading into the final lap of the race i went as fast as i could and made it round the lap in 10 seconds fastest ever lap in history of racing. He was so happy he could scream and he felt a sense of relief. He was mean to the cheater who came second and the bird and the deer who equaled 3 place.
When he got back home he had made lots of people sad and mad and now no one really liked him at all for good reasons he had been all over the news about how he had been mean to everyone even his mum was mad at him. He had thought about what happened but he couldn't put a finger on it sadly. In the morning he saw his mum talking to his dad quietly but snail overheard their conversation and they said “we should turn him into red deer.”
“But mum I don’t know what i have done wrong tell me mum.”
“You have been mean to everyone in the land.”
“I’m sorry mum i will work on it.”
“Ok I will give you one more chance.”
“Thanks mum!”
2 days later
He was trying his best but he was being mean to some people but he was nice to most, some people were happy with snail that he had changed but some were super mad. Red deer noticed that he was being mean to some people and red deer was watching closely and snail is becoming mean to everyone and red deer is so mad now that he could take his powers away. Red deer went to snail and spoke to him. “You are being mean to everyone in the land!”
“I’m sorry but it is really hard to be humble and nice sadly.”
“Sorry is not good enough.”
“What do I do then Red deer.”
“You can not change a thing. I gave you those powers so you would stop crying but this is how you repay me, I should take your powers away right now!”
“No please don't i will do anything.”
“There is nothing you can do.”
Red deer took his powers away and that is why snails are slow and they will always be slow forever.
