Once upon a time, there lived a little banana slug.
His name was Seymour.
2
Seymour lived in the redwood forests
of Santa Cruz, California.
His life was simple. He spent most of his time watching sunbeams bounce off tree branches and crawling around in the dirt.
3
But Seymour also liked to explore. He often wandered away from his friends and family when they weren't looking.

One day Seymour discovered a path in the woods. He imagined himself following it. He had heard rumors that the forest had an end. He wondered if the rumors were true.
5
When Seymour saw his brother, Sluggo, he asked him:
"Do you ever wonder what else might be in the world beyond this forest? "
Sluggo replied:
"Seymour, this is our natural habitat! This is everthing we need. We have food, shelter, friends and family. Why would we ever want to leave?"

But Seymour was curious. He wanted to know if the forest came to an end. He wondered what came after it.
So he decided to go back to the path. When he got there, he noticed two people eating lunch. Next to them, he saw two mountain bikes and two backpacks on the ground.
Seymour crawled over to get a closer look. Something smelled good! He followed his nose into the backpack where he found an apple and some cheese.
7
help!
8
"Swish!" Without warning, one of the bikers picked up the backpack. Seymour tumbled back in the darkness, squished between the apple and cheese.
He tried to get out, but it was too late for Seymour to escape. He had inched his way to the top and made his way to a fold where he could see out when he realized he was riding on the back of one of the mountain bikers!
9
Seymour gasped and he fell back down again. He bounced around as the biker swerved left and right, up and down, hitting roots and rocks. It was a rough ride, but all the while he worked steadily at getting to the top of the backpack. When he looked out again, he couldn't believe his eyes!

Seymour saw rocks, water, sand and blue sky. "Where are the trees? Where is the green? What is this place?" He wondered.
11
Now the bikers were speeding up again, but this time Seymour held on tight. He didn't want to miss a thing.
He opened his eyes wide to see joggers, cliffs, houses, seagulls, surfers, dogs, boats and houses. He took in the smell of salty air.
Seymour grinned. "This is the best day of my life," He thought. "What an adventure!"
