## Read together

The snail had two garden cards. One said, ‘Seed table: follow the dotted path past the cardboard gate.’ The other said, ‘The gate sneezed, and Snail slid through a shower of paper stars.’ Snail enjoyed the sneeze story. When it needed the seed table, it chose the route card. A large labelled sign in the drawing helped Snail spot the destination. The two cards could be useful for different jobs.
