* The book is about snails on a cabbage, and one snail tells his father that he wished to have the biggest house in the world, to which his father responds that he also wished that when he was young, and he told his son the story that his father told him. In the story a young snail learns to make his shell bigger, and bigger, and eventual how to make it grow horns, and color. Eventually, his house got so big that he couldn't move. The moral, which the young snail learned, was to appreciate what you have, and that sometimes smaller is better. In this case, his smaller shell/home afforded him extra freedom to roam where he pleased, and he looked at everything with a new-found appreciation. ( )
