Once upon a time in a land far away,
There lived a snail and a slug who loved to play.
They slid along at their own easy pace,
And explored the world at their leisurely grace.

One day they met a sheep with wool so white,
And they asked her to join them on their hike.
The sheep put on her socks and joined the snail and slug,
And together they went on an adventure so snug.

As they journeyed on, they came upon the sea,
And there they saw a shark swimming wild and free.
They were all so scared and didn't know what to do,
But then a sea horse appeared and said, "I'll help you!"

The sea horse was brave and strong,
And he chased the shark away before too long.
The friends were grateful and so relieved,
And they all high-fived and then they believed.

That no matter what challenges may arise,
They could count on each other to be wise.
With their shorts and socks and wool so white,
They would always stick together and never lose sight.

Of the joy of exploring and having fun,
With friends like these, their adventure had just begun.
So they continued on, with a smile on their face,
Living life to the fullest, at their own easy pace.
