Parents had forced Sam Snail and all his mates to attend the class on snail safety, where posters covered the room:
“An Informed Snail is a Safe Snail!”
“It’s not dandruff, you idiot! It’s salt!”

“A stupid snail becomes escargot!”
Mr. Goo, the oldest snail in the community, scanned the adolescent snails with his antennae. “Listen up, you slimy slugs!”

Then all became quiet as the spectres of snails long gone before filled the room.

They whispered, “Grass is good. Sidewalks are bad….”
Then Mr. Goo shouted, “If you are ever besieged by a bunch of birds, then kiss your shells good-bye.”
Intervals of laughter and silence of doom broke up the rest of the day. Finally, class was dismissed.
Mr. Goo shook his antennae. "Poor dumb Molluscan Gastropods! Half of them won’t even make it home."
