<h2>THE BOY AND THE SNAILS</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Farmer's Boy went looking for Snails, and, when he had picked
up both his hands full, he set about making a fire at which to
roast them; for he meant to eat them. When it got well alight and
the Snails began to feel the heat, they gradually withdrew more and
more into their shells with the hissing noise they always make when
they do so. When the Boy heard it, he said, "You abandoned
creatures, how can you find heart to whistle when your houses are
burning?"</p>
