you see, this scenario kept playing in my head since yesterday, when the heavy mist enveloped the city throughout the whole day. so when i went for my walk this morning, the scenario took hold. here it is:
a little snail slowly (of course, it's a snail don't you know) crawling on the newly laid pavement was taking in the warm morning sun. it had just finished attacking a cluster of lily-of-the-valley so it was feeling rather full and content.
"nice glorious spring day, isn't it, mr. earthworm?"
"it is," replied mr. earthworm. "but you must not linger on this pavement as the humans are already up and about."
"oh, 'tis early still. methinks i can take my time. the air is fresh, the leaves have sprouted and the sky is so clear." and the snail started singing "it's a new dawn, it's a new day" à la michael bublé.
it was so into the song when suddenly it heard voices and the ground started to shake. a young girl shrieked: OMG! that earthworm is disgusting. i don't want to step on it.
the snail accelerated it's crawl towards the other side of the pavement to avoid the people. when suddenly there was a very soft "crunchy" sound and the girl said "EWWWW! i stepped on a snail!"
moral of the story: don't be a snail. :-P
-o0o-
for this week's 52-week challenge, the fare is composition from below, which is probably why the snail story kept beating at my brain the whole week.
is it the snail view you are giving us to match your story? I have a horrible feeling that it might have been the crunch of a snail beneath your feet that set you off with the story. Don't you just hate it when that happens.
