One day Tortoise was walking through the veld. He was searching and searching. He gazed into the distance and squinted at the grass.
"Are you looking for something?" Snail asked. "Yes, I'm looking for my house. Have you seen it?"

"Are you looking for something?" asked Sparrow. "Yes, we're looking for Tortoise's house. Have you seen it?" "No, I haven't, but I'll help you look!"
