Snail and Froggy to the Lake

A snail set out one sunny day To visit the lake so far

away. He packed his shell and said, “Let’s go!” But moved so

slow—oh dear, oh no! He slid and slid along the track,

The lake still miles ahead, way back. “My feet are tired,

I’m late, I fear, This trip will take a hundred years!”

A froggy hopped with a splish-splash-splook, And smiled at the snail with a friendly look.

“Hop on my back,” the froggy said, “I’ll help you reach the lake

instead!” So off they went with a hop and a glide,
