Everything goes wrong for me, thought Lolo, the snail
I was always late everywhere
he was the last to finish his homework and he never won prizes for his speed.
Very angry he said to himself: since I can’t change it, better tomorrow I won’t do anything! And he chose to stay at his house and not do the chores he had to do: like clearing the fallen leaves of the autumn trees, or removing the pebbles from the path.
He thought: “Why worry if my teammates will finish it faster? I better dedicate myself to rest”.
The little ant Juana, not seeing Lolo the snail went to look for him at her house to ask her if she had something wrong!
Lolo replied that nothing was wrong with him, simply that he was not going to do anything since it always takes a long time and the others are faster.
Juana the little ant told him – “It’s not a great idea”.. “What matters is not to do the job quickly, but what matters is to do the best you can! and help all your friends
Not everything has to be done quickly! There are tasks that require more time and effort. If you don’t try, you’ll never know what you’re capable of!
It is better to try! You might be surprised at what you’re capable of.”
Lolo the snail was not very convinced, but Juana insisted and they went together to do their homework!
At the end of the day, Lolo the snail approached Juana the turtle and said:
– “Juan you are right! It was better to have come to help all my friends and thus, among all, finish the tasks of the day!
Very good lol! That’s how it is! Always remember that small tasks also serve to achieve larger goals, and it is always better to help your friends than to stay home without having tried!
And so, Lolo the snail began to feel happier and every day, with a smile, he gave his best!
