Garden Story
Once when I was seven years old I found a pretty snail in the garden. I let it play in my hand, feeling its fresh slime on my skin. After a while I got bored with it so I sprinkled it with salt from the kitchen. The snail started to bubble and foam and slowly dissolved. I buried its house in the back of the garden.
