FAIRY TALES I

THE SNAIL AND THE SLUG

In a garden were it was always green a small snail liked to come and go

Then one day the snail saw something and tried to follow

But it went too fast

Next time the snail said

After a few days the snail again went into the garden but this time it waited

Then suddenly a —What

The snail thought

What is a slug doing in it's spot

The slug didn't know the snail was there and bumped straight into it

They both fell sideways

The snail spoke first

What are you doing here it asked

The slug looked surprised that someone was there

It tried to make a break for it but kept falling over

The slug couldn't believe it still

But regardless it finally spoke

It said  I found this place

It's mine

The snail grew mad and couldn't believe the audacity of the slug

Saying it was his when it's been there before

The snail then said if it's yours then why did you get frighten

The slug sluggishly denied it

The snail then said I've been here since there was nothing

The slug couldn't say more

The snail knew it had won

But the slug still wanted to protest

Then suddenly the door opened and someone came out

Both of them rushed to hide

Yeah they both didn't own that place and they knew it

But quickly they tried to rush out

******

Sometimes a truce is better

For these two that's true
