Snails picnic
A family of snails head off for a Thanks- giving picnic. Two weeks later they arrive at a picturesque location beside a river with trees all around.

As little Johnny snail and his sister Clancy play, mother snail sets up the picnic table, and realizes she has left the traditional turkey at home. She reveals the mistake to father snail, who has a think. "This is a Thanksgiving picnic and we should have turkey! I'll send Johnny home to get it", decides father snail.

Father snail calls Johnny over and tells him to go and get the turkey. Johnny hesitates a bit and complains that the rest of the family will start eating the other food while Johnny is getting the turkey. Father assures him that they won't touch a bite while Johnny is gone. With that Johnny leaves.

One week goes by... Two weeks go by... Three weeks go by... Four weeks go by...

Clancy snail starts complaining that she is hungry. Father tells her "no one touches any food until Johnny gets back".

Five weeks go by... Six weeks go by... By this time everyone is really hungry (and worried about Johnny), but father sticks to his promise.

Ten weeks go by... The family are looking anorexic. Mother says "Just one little cracker? Please, can I just eat one little cracker". Father still says no.

Twelve weeks... Fourteen weeks...

Finally father snail decides that one cracker each will be ok (after all they are starving). As they take their first bite of the cracker, little Johnny jumps out from behind some bushes and says: "Ahhhaaa!!! I knew you would start eating without me!!!!"
