His folks had forced Sam Snail to attend the class on snail safety, where posters covered the room:
“An Informed Snail is a Safe Snail!”

“A stupid snail becomes escargot!”

| Mr. Goo |
Mr. Goo, the oldest snail in the community, scanned the adolescent snails with his antennae. “Listen up, you slimy slugs!”
The snails convulsed with laughter---the slug joke was an old one. 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 watched them in silence, Poor dumb Molluscan Gastropods! Half of them won’t even make it home.
