A sunny garden glowed with bright, happy flowers.

Sheldon the snail lived in a very cozy cabbage patch.

He loved to munch on big, green leaves all day.

Sheldon: “Mmm, yummy cabbage!”

One day, a tiny breeze whisked past him.

It tickled his shell playfully as it danced by.

Sheldon: “Whoosh! That was fast!”

Sheldon: “I want to be fast too!”

Sheldon decided he wanted to race the wind.

Sheldon: “I will zoom zoom!”

He wiggled his tiny antennae with excitement.

But snails are not very speedy racers.

He moved toward a tall, sunny sunflower patch.

Sheldon started to slide, sloooowly, sloooowly.

Flutter: “Hello, Sheldon!”

Flutter the butterfly zipped cheerfully by him.

Sheldon: “Flutter, wait! I race wind!”

Flutter: “Silly snail! Wind flies!”

Flutter flapped her rainbow wings with a giggle.

Sheldon: “But I want to zoom!”

Flutter thought for a clever moment.

Flutter: “I have a trick!”

She gently pushed a fluffy dandelion seed puff.

The little puff floated away on the breezy air.

Flutter: “See? Wind carries!”

Sheldon watched the puff disappear into the sky.

Sheldon: “Oh! Wind is a friend!”

He understood that the wind helps things float.

Sheldon: “I will watch wind race!”

Under a big, soft mushroom cap, the sun slowly set.

Sheldon snuggled into his shell, dreaming of breezy, gentle adventures.
