小蜗牛问妈妈：“为什么我们一出生，就要背负这个又硬又重的壳呢？” 妈妈说：“因为我们的身体没有骨骼的支撑，只能爬，但又爬不快，所以要这个壳的保护！” 小蜗牛说：“毛虫姐姐没有骨头，也爬不快，为什么她却不用背这个又硬又重的壳呢？” 妈妈说：“因为她能变成蝴蝶，天空会保护她。” 小蜗牛说：“可是，蚯蚓弟弟也没骨头，也爬不快，也不会变成蝴蝶，为什么他也不背这个又硬又重的壳呢？” 妈妈说：“因为蚯蚓弟弟会钻土，大地会保护他。” 小蜗牛哭了起来：“我们好可怜，天空不保护我们，大地也不保护我们。” 蜗牛妈妈安慰他说：“所以我们有壳啊！我们不靠天，也不靠地，我们靠自己。” Depend on Ourselves Little Snail asked her mother, “Why do we bear this hard and heavy shell as soon as we were born?" Mother said, “Because our bodies don’t have bones to support and we have to climb, not so fast, we need this shell to protect!” Little Snail said, “Sister Caterpillar has no bones and doesn’t climb fast, why she doesn’t bear this hard and heavy shell?” Mother said, “Because she can turn into a butterfly, the sky will protect her.” Little Snail said, “But Brother Earthworm has no bones and doesn’t climb fast either, not will he become a butterfly, why doesn’t he bear the hard and heavy shell?” Mother replied, “Because he can dig into the earth, the earth will protect him.” Little Snail cried, “We are so poor that neither the sky nor the earth will protect us.” Mother comforted him, “So we have the shells! We neither rely on the sky nor the earth, but we rely on ourselves.” caterpillar 毛虫 butterfly 蝴蝶 earthworm 蚯蚓 |
