Would you eat a snail?

When I got dropped by the eagle into Mel's garden, I had no idea where I was. I was scared and tired. Then by some miracle I found a little cave to live in.  I was soooooo hungry. My tummy rumbled and rumbled. I saw funny creatures sliding along in a shell. “What on earth are they?” I thought.

A picture of some friendly snails!

I picked up one of these creatures and I licked it! Eugghhhhh! My tongue got covered in slime! Don’t try this! I put it down and let it slide away! Mel told me that snails are eaten by birds and hedgehogs.
