A Royal Snail Encounter

I was marching down the garden border when a colossal, shiny beast crossed me gravel path! It was a grand garden snail carrying a spiraled shell fortress on its back. Instead of retreating, I raised me wooden cutlass in a bold salute and carefully extended me dandelion-topped acorn cap. The gentle beast reached out two long eye stalks to sniff the feathery prize, leaving a sparkling ribbon of wet silver slime across the dark mulch. Parleying peacefully with the great slow-moving titan of the soil means only one thing—time to claim me booty!
