"And I have got a magnifying glass," Abby suddenly remembered and went to find it.
They sat beside each other on the floor, peering into the tank.
"Ah ha!" Mum suddenly cried.
"What?" Abby moved her magnifying glass to where her mum was pointing.
She saw Mr Sticky hiding behind a big stone. And right next to him was another water snail, even smaller than him.
"Mrs Sticky!" Abby said excitedly. "But where did she come from?"
"I think it was hiding under the pond weed all the time"
Abby looked around carefully and said, “If Mrs Sticky was here all the time, maybe their baby snails were also here.”
Then there she saw, at the bottom of the tank, five tiny snails as small as sand moving around.
Abby was very excited and happy. She turned to her mother and said, “Mom, you are right. You did not scoop him up, he was just having fun with his family.”
Her mother smiled and said, “Yes, so don’t disturb them now. Let’s go and buy some snail food for them.”
“That is a good idea.” Abby said
Her mother took her mother by the hand and off they go.
