妈妈：因为毛虫妹妹能变成蝴蝶,天空会保护她啊.

小蜗牛：可是蚯蚓弟弟也没骨头爬不快,也不会变成蝴蝶他什么不背这个又硬又重的壳呢?

妈妈：因为蚯蚓弟弟会钻土,大地会保护他啊.

打赌

两个好朋友正坐在一家小酒馆内观看十一点的电视新闻.一则新闻报道说,有个男人威胁要从商业区一座大楼的二十层跳下去.一位朋友转身对另一位说道：“我敢赌十块钱,那家伙不会往下跳.”

“赌就赌,”他的朋友欣然同意.

几分钟后,站在墙檐上的男人跳了下去,因而赌输的那位交给他的朋友一张十元的钞票.“我不能拿你的钱,”他的朋友承认道,“早在六点的新闻里,我就已见他跳下去了.”

“我也是,”另一位说,“可我想他不会再跳了!”

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.
