A begging snail.

A silly little story that might make you smile.

A lady opened her door one Winter's day to see a snail on the doorstep. The snail looked up at her and said in a tiny voice, "I'm really sorry to bother you, but I'm starving and hoping that you might help me out with a little food, it doesn't have to be much, a lettuce leaf would be really great..." The woman turned round and went back inside. The snail said to itself, "yes...winner." The woman returned with a broom and promptly swept the snail down to the bushes at the bottom of the drive.

Winter passed, so did Spring and then one day in late Summer, the lady opened her door to see the same snail on her doorstep again. The snail looked up at her and said in a tiny voice, " well, that wasn't very nice, was it now?"

I'm guessing that the snail was almost as fast as some of us here.
