One day tortoise was walking through the veld. He was looking and looking. He gazed into the distance and squinted at the grass.
Then he went past Snail.

“Are you looking for something?” Snail asked.
“Yes, Snail, I’m looking for my house. Have you seen it, by any chance?”

Snail said: “No, I haven’t, but I’ll help you look!”
She climbed onto Tortoise’s Shell. Tortoise walked on with Snail on his back. They looked and looked, but there was no sign of a house. The sun was high in the sky.
