靠自己Rely on Oneself

小蜗牛问妈妈：“为什么我们从生下来，就要 背负这个又硬又重的壳呢？”妈妈说：“因为我们 的身体没有骨骼的支撑，只能爬，又爬不快，所以要这个壳的护！”

A little snail asked its mother, "Why do we have to carry this hard, heavy shell from the moment we're born?" The mother replied, "Because our bodies don't have bones to support us. We can only crawl, and we're not fast, so we need this shell for protection!"

小蜗牛又问：“毛毛虫姐姐没有骨头，也爬不快，为什么她不用背又硬又重的壳呢？”妈妈说：“因为毛毛虫能变成蝴蝶，天空会保护她啊。”

The little snail then asked, "But caterpillars don't have bones either, and they're not fast. Why don't they need to carry a hard, heavy shell?" The mother said, "Because caterpillars can turn into butterflies, and the sky will protect them."

小蜗牛再问：“可是蚯蚓弟弟没骨头，也爬不快，更不会变成蝴蝶，他为什么不背又硬又重的壳呢？妈妈說：“蚯蚓会钻土，大地会保我他啊。”

The little snail asked again, "But earthworms don’t have bones, they're not fast, and they can't turn into butterflies. Why don't they carry a hard, heavy shell?" The mother replied, "Earthworms can burrow into the soil, and the earth will protect them."

小蜗牛哭了：“我们好可怜，天空不保护，大地也不保护。”蜗牛妈妈安慰他：“所以我们有壳啊！我们不靠天，也不 靠地，我们靠自己。”

The little snail began to cry, "How sad for us! The sky doesn't protect us, and the earth doesn't either." The snail mother comforted her, saying, "That's why we have our shells! We don't rely on the sky, and we don't rely on the earth. We rely on ourselves."
