Slinky Slithertail is such a stubborn snake! He thinks he knows better than everybody else. He does not want to listen to the good advice of his friends and family, which means he is going to learn things the hard way...by getting into big trouble! Slinky has too much pride. He thinks he is smarter, faster, and stronger than everybody else. This is why he doesn't listen to his friends' warnings about Farmer John and the hen house. He thinks he is so quick and careful that nothing bad can happen to him! Slinky has too much greed. He forgets all his common sense and puts himself in danger just to satisfy his desire. He really wants to eat a mouthwatering egg, but does he need it? NO! He has enough to eat. Slinky's mom is a wonderful cook, but does Slinky feel satisfied with his mom's tasty dishes? NO! He gives into his greed. Greed is a kind of hunger that has nothing to do with actually being hungry. It has to do with seeing something that we really like and wanting it right then and there, no matter what we have to do to get it. As you will see from Slinky's predicament, there can be great danger in trying to satisfy your greed.Lorenzen, Margaret is the author of 'Slinky Slithertail', published 2001 under ISBN 9780970805348 and ISBN 0970805349.
