There was a summer day, a snail called Caco was basking in the sun. When suddenly, while looking at the sky, he saw a red rocket, flying very close to him. Since the snail was sticky because it had snot, it hit the rocket and went high.
Caco, nuestro valiente e intrépido caracol, conducía y dio cinco vueltas alrededor de la Tierra. Desde el cielo vio: carros, casas, caballos, cometas, carros, cerdos en un camión, campanas y muchas cosas. También vio nuestra escuela y quería ir a ver cómo era.
He entered our class because he wanted to see everything inside. He played and liked it so much that he stayed with us and learned a lot of letters.
We also learned a lot about snails. Caco, he told us many curiosities. Do you want to meet them?
- There is a great variety of shapes and sizes of snails.
- They have no teeth. the snail scrapes the food instead of chewing it, and vegetarians only eat vegetables.
- Snails cannot hear. To find food, they use their sense of smell.
- Snails are largely nocturnal. They are more likely to go out at night or very early in the morning.
- Snails can live 15-20 years, but that's probably a good thing, since it can take so long to cross the yard.
