HOW NATURE WORKS

There was a snail down on the walkway this morning.  This was its lucky day, it must have been thinking, if it could think, because it happened upon a fellow snail that had just gotten stepped on by a passerby.

The first snail yielded to its carnivore tendencies, as snails will do when herbaceous things are scarce, so the collapsed second snail was now escargot to the first one.

But luck is deceiving.  The first snail was now directly in line to get stepped on by the next passerby.
