Snail watch

A friend of mine recently gave me her pet snail to look after. Its name being Stanley and it being both a boy and a girl are two of the more intresting traits. I have been fretting about it like it was a newborn ever since it came into my care. But, at the weekend I realised the true greatness of it. I put an apple slice into its little home and the wee snail went mad for it, all happy, it came out and poked its head from its shell and smiled a big snail smile and I went all warm inside. So, if you want a happy snail give it some apple. It doesn't just keep the Doctor away.
