We generally don't use 'as well, also, too' with negatives.
Thus, the centipede had to do the extremely hard work. Indeed, he crawled too slowly to come to anywhere. The turtle and the rabbit were waiting longly in their home when they decided to look for the centipede. Surprisingly, at the time they came to the door, the centipede was wearing his shoes. As far as we know, a centipede has many feet. When would he finish wearing putting on his shoes and tightening his laces at all?

It is in fact a funny story but if you don't find it funny or interesting., it is because of my poor ability of narrating a story.
