​

Narrator:         A snail comes down the trail.  

                       It has no shell.  In fact, it is a slug.

                       It looks very sad.  

                       The kangaroo hops in and sees the sad snail.

 

Kangaroo:       Hi snail.  Why are you so sad?

​

Snail:               Hello kangaroo.  I lost my shell. 

​

Kangaroo:        When did you lose it?

 

Snail:                I was sliming up a rock.

                        My shell slipped off of me. 

                         It landed in the tall grass.

 

Kangaroo:        Do you have another shell at home?

 

Snail:                I do.

 

Kangaroo:        Maybe the shell you lost will be

                         found by a snail without any shell.

 

Snail:                True, so true.  

                        Thank you for the kind words.

 

Kangaroo:        Kindness feels so good!

 

Snail:               Now that’s what I call kangaroo kindness.

Snail:              Help!  Help!

Kangaroo:      Hi snail.  What happened to you?

 

Snail:              Oh kangaroo, it’s so good to see you!

                       I hit a bump and rolled over.

​

Kangaroo:        It looks like you need some help.

​
