Snail Inspection
Me push through front door flap to get fresh afternoon air, and right on the damp flagstone path me see shiny wet streak! Me drop straight down on all fours and follow glittery trail with me nose. At end of shiny line sits tiny, round, spiraly brown shell! Me tap shell with one fuzzy fingertip—tap-tap! Whole shell wobble, then two tiny wiggle-horns poke out! Snail say hello! Snail have spiral house right on back! Me sit real quiet on wet stone, watching little friend glide super slow over gray pebble. Best slow-motion parade ever!
