https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru Snaily is about a snail who wishes he could go faster. Through a race with his friends who are faster than him he realizes even the slowest person can be the fastest. He learns a lesson that you can't always win but if you pushing yourself and never give up one day you can and at least you wont come in last place. en-us 2018-10-08 17:49:03 UTC 2025-04-01 23:47:47 UTC hello@padlet.com clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290445318 By Clayton C.

"oh yeah? I bet I can beat you" replied Cheetah. ]]> 2018-10-08 18:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290449351 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290449924 so does Lizzy too.

He always had friends that go places fast and who like to race fast. His friends love to be fast. ]]> 2018-10-08 18:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290450368 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290451605 All of Snaily's friends can go faster than he can in different ways, but Snaily can never find his own way to go fast]]> 2018-10-08 18:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290451605 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290456948 He tries and tries over again to find a way to go fast. In the end he seems to still go slower than his friends. ]]> 2018-10-08 19:03:15 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290456948 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290457674 Snaily watches his friends as they race.

They ask Snaily if he would like to join. "Come race Snaily" cheetah asked as the others waved to snaily to come race.

"oh guys, I dont know. I'm pretty slow." says Snaily

"So, it's just for play and games. Plus, it'll give you more practice to get fast." Cheetah replies.

"Yeah Snaily. Come on. It wont hurt." Ozzy said

"exactly. look at me, im small just like you and i found a way to be fast. Race with us!" Lizzy replied happily.

"ok guys. I'm in." snaily said.

"awesome!" everyone replied

"First one to the river through the jungle trail is the winner!" enthusiastically Cheetah yelled. ]]> 2018-10-08 19:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290465011 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290468776 So everyone gets on the starting line.

On their mark... they go!

Just in a matter of seconds cheetah is far ahead of everyone.

But everyone is really far ahead of Snaily. It discourages him but he pushes to race hard. ]]> 2018-10-08 19:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290468776 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290471177 As snaily makes his way down the jungle trail he notices a spotted creature on the side of the road huffing and puffing.

It's cheetah, who had outran everyone in the beginning.

"Hey cheetah is everything alright?" Snaily says as he slowly snails past cheetah.

"Yeah. I get really tired fast and I can only go short distances at a time.' Cheetah said

"ok see you at the finish line!" Snaily replied. ]]> 2018-10-08 19:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290471177 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290473266 As Snaily goes along the jungle trail he feels more motivated now that he isn't in last place.

As he continues to race down the trail as fast, but slow, as he can he sees yet another figure.

It's Ozzy.

"What happened Ozzy?" Snaily Asks.

"My legs are too long and clumsy and i keep falling. Im also way too tall so I cant see past the tree branches" Ozzy said.

As Ozzy is clumsying around Snaily contiues to snail right on past him

"see you at the finish line Ozzy!" snaily yelled.]]> 2018-10-08 19:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290473266 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290476485 Snaily is feeling really happy at the moment.

He starts to realize that if he keeps pushing and racing he might be able to win a race against his fast friends.

He's hoping to win but he notices that he had only passed two friends.

"where could lizzy possibly be? Shes maybe blending in. She is a good hide and seek player too." Snaily thought to himself

Nevertheless, he continues to push and race. ]]> 2018-10-08 20:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290476485 clayton_rosengarten https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290478783 As Snaily approaches the exit of the jungle he finally sees the river.

"Hey im almost there! I see the finish line!" Snaily yells with joy

As he gets closer and closer and slowly and slowly to the end he sees noone insight.

All he sees is a bush on the other side of the finish line.

"Did i win the race?" snaily said unsurely. 

"hey snaily! Im sorry to tell you buddy but i won!" Lizzy pops out the bush and said.

"oh Lizzy i didnt see you! you were always good at hiding. How'd you get here so fast?" snaily said.

"the jungle is my home and i know the ins and outs of it. Since i can easily hide noone can see me go through the trail. I passed cheetah and Ozzy." Lizzy replies

"Oh well that stinks for me because i didnt win" Snaily said.

"hey Snaily look at the bright side, you pushed your hardest and at the end you didnt lose. Now you know with even more practice and hard work you can win some day!" Lizzy told Snaily.

"You know what? Your absolutley right. I just beat a cheetah and Ostrich!" Snaily yelled.

"Exactly!" Lizzy replied. 

THE END]]> 2018-10-08 20:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/clayton_rosengarten/yd9u1uu879ru/wish/290478783
