The Horse and the Snail There once lived a horse on a farm. He was very proud of himself and always made fun of all the animals and insects on the farm. He was always boasting about how fast he could run. One day he saw a snail near the stables looking for something to nibble on. Seeing how slowly the snail moved, the horse started teasing him. “Hey Snail! Shall we have a race?” the horse asked. The snail was very angry with the horse. “Okay! Let’s do it! We will race on Sunday,” said the snail. The snail went home and called all the snails for a meeting in the farmer’s vegetable garden. There they discussed the challenge. He told everyone about the race. They planned to outsmart the horse. Since all the snails looked alike, they decided to confuse the horse with their intelligence. When Sunday came, they left home very early. They started hiding in places within little distances from each other, all the way from the starting point to the finishing line. The race started. The horse ran a little and then looked down. He saw the snail ahead of him on the road. The horse increased his pace, but the snail was still ahead. The horse started running harder and faster. However hard the horse tried, the snail was still ahead of him. The poor horse finally gave up after trying hard. The snails knew that their plan worked very well. “Okay, I lose!” said the humbled horse. The snail laughed out loud. From that day on the horse never again teased any animal or insect.
