/ took the little shell In my
hand and examined it.
mo wonder you cant see In
it. Its owner has his front

what do YOU mean-it's own.
err" asked Bobby wrinkling up
his little forehead In a dozen
wrinkles.
Better put him out in the
garden" 1 said. You know it
would be q pretty trying thing If
someone lifted up your house and
carried you off several miles and
turned your house all over ex-
aiming your front door and your
roof"
'Is the snail in there. Foxy
Grandpa?" asked the boy.
HE certainly is" / declared.
Put him out on the walk where
John has been SQUIRTING the hose

Bobby.

HE certainly has a real port

Grandpa?" said Bobby. walking
out the front door with 4hs snail
held carefully In his hand.
I followed the boy and when
we reached the pavement where
it was quite damp. Bobby put the
snail down and then asked:
why did you tell me to put
him down where the pavement
is wet, Foxy .Grnadpa 2"
"Iu tell you. and IL he will
start walking. Ill show you,"
answered.

enough out of the shell came the
little head with the four horns.
What are those black specs
on those two horns, Foxy Grand
par Bobby questioned, dropping
down on his knees.
Those little specs are his
eyes ] explained.
"Oh," said Bobby. They are
such little things don't see how
he can see anything"
Then the snail started to creep
along.
SLOWLY and quietly the little thing
Iaoved along and Bobby leaned
! down very close to me Erot4nd
ito see how he did it.
.'I don't sec any feet Foxy
Grandpa. That snail il wiggling
along like a worm announced
Bobby, raising up on one knee
and looking into my face,
"He does move like q worm. "
said. "But tho part OF the body
on which he moves Is called his
foot. He slides along on tt, rather
than walks. And that is, why /
told you to put him down Non the
pavement where the water had
made 1t slippery--because q. snail
cannot move on q perfectly dry
surface.
but suppose he wanted to go
out walking and there was no
dampness on the groupd?" asked
Bobby.
Then he makes his own slide"
smiled, 'by putting forth that
slime which you often see in the
morning"
That little silver streak which
is sometimes on the earth?"
Exactly" i replied. .
but does he always have to
do that?" persisted Bobby.
He does" / answered, When
the weather is very dry. he just
goes into his house and takes
