One day, a baby snail(蜗牛) found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell(壳) at any time. He asked his mother, “Why was I born with a shell? It 1.__grows__(grow) so hard and heavy.” His mother said, “2.__Because__ we don't have bones (骨头) to support us. We move slowly, 3.__so__ we need a shell to protect us.”
The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar(毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she can't move quickly. Why can she live 4.__without__a shell?” The mother snail answered patiently, “That's because she will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky which can protect her.”
The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no 5.__protection__(protect) like that!” His mother smiled at him, “That's 6.__why__ we have a shell. My dear, imagine 7.__if__ we don't have the shell, what will happen to us? Our bodies will 8.__be_dried__(dry) out by the hot sun 9.__and__ we'll have nowhere to sleep. What's worse, we'll die in the heavy rain. We don't depend on the sky. We should depend on 10.__ourselves__(we).”
