*Fairy tales from Laos*

*Xiang Miang and The Snail*

*One day, Xiang Miang teased a little snail how slow he was. Snail and Xiang Miang started a race the next morning to see who was slower. Xiang Miang was arrogant to think that he was faster but at every corners when he called the snail, the snail always replied him. This made him very afraid. And at the end, when Xiang Miang reached the final destination he saw the snail had been already there. Actually, the snail collected all of his friends to help him during the race. At every corner was one of his friends and the final was him. Never underestimate everyone and be humble with the strengths that you have. Also you can go far in this life if you are smart and cooperate with the people around you.*
