寓言故事:蜗牛身上为什么背着沉重的壳?
One day, a baby snail蜗牛 found that he had to
carry a big and heavy shell at any time. He was confused
困惑的, so he went up to his mother and asked, "Why
was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?" His mother
said, "Because we don't have bones to hold us up. We can only
move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us."
The baby snail asked again, "The caterpillar毛毛虫 has no
bones either, and she can't move quickly. Why can she live without
a shell?" The mother snail answered, "That's because a caterpillar
will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can
protect her."
The baby snail had one more question, "But the earthworm蚯
蚓 moves like us. He has no bones and he won't turn into a
butterfly. Why doesn't he carry a hard and heavy shell?" His
mother said, "He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then
the earth can protect him."
The baby snail then cried, "We are so poor! We have no
protection from the sky or from the ground!" His mother smiled at
him. "That's why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we
don't have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out
our bodies and we'll have nowhere to sleep. What's more, we'll die
in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don't depend on the sky or
the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves."
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。词数不多于6个
1. Whom did the baby snail ask for help, his mother or father?
2. What will the caterpillar in the story become when she grows up?
3. Where can an earthworm hide?
4. How many questions did the baby snail ask?
5. Who should the snails depend on according to the story?
