Since Bob was a young snail he has had a dream, leraning to read books, but his father didn't like it because he said that the books were  other human's invention  and he hated humans becasue he thought that  they only lived to kill snails and other animals. But Bob didn't think alike and any time he could he scaped to listen to humans and tried to learn to read books.

One day, his father discovered a human child who got him. When Bob saw it, he tried to rescue him but it was too late, the child had caught his father and Bob didn't see his father ever again. That was an important lesson for him, if you were born a snail, you die snail.

Years later, when Bob was walking through the garden, he found a piece of paper with some words on it.He remembered his father's advise but he couldn't resist to try reading it and he discovered that , after  all the years observing  the humans finally he had learnt to read.  He came back happily with the rest of the snails because he had realised the date, it was the 13th of June of 2013.

Since that moment, Bob undesrtood that the books make everybody more intelligent and he decided to abandon the snail colony to find more books.

His journey wasn't easy, but after two days, he arrived to the librarian's house where there were a  lot of books but he faced one problem, the human librarian discvoered Bob on his favourite book, then Bob thought that hewas going to die but the librarian didn't kill him becuase he had observed that the little snail was reading the book and when the libarian saw his shime track, he read 'don't kill me please'. At that moment Bob realised that not all the humans are bad people and he ramined with the libarian for many years.

One day, Bob discovered  little blue balls in a box and when he knew what the blue balls were used for, he only thought of one thing, to advise the sail colony. He ran and ran and he told every snail the things he had learned. The snails asked him how he kenw so many things and Bob reply them that it was thanks to humans and the books, but his mates thoguht he had gone crazy, so Bob decided to demonstrate the importance of books by eating one of the little blue balls.
