A solid chunk of it stood tantalisingly still, with an expression that said, ‘Come hither’.
Maurice smacked his lips, eyeing it greedily. Not if I get there first, announced Drew.
The two snails glared at each other and inched towards the funghi.

nice work!
Love the idea of ‘Come hither’ fungi. I hope it’s not in a hurry to be eaten. Lovely fun take.
*hee hee* This is adorable! It made me absolutely laugh out loud. 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
Very cute and unique take.
Slug v. slug!
Haha aww, snails. How cute!
Hopefully they didn’t have far to go–even if the race took a while.
haha this was too good!
HA HA! This was so much fun!
Really glad you liked it , Kathy 🙂
So fun! Not sure either one of them will end up getting there in time 😉
True that. Funghi and time wait for no one 😉
I don’t think the funghi is going anywhere. I’d like to think the snails are feasting right now.
Haha Fun post, Shailaja! If you need me, I’ll be here by the fungi finish line.
Make sure you stay out of the snails’ way. They seem ravenous 😉
Of course the early snail got the funghi! Wonder, who it was 😀
I would like to know too. It’s been 12 hours now! 😉
Funny! I like this a lot.
Pleased as punch on hearing that 🙂
I bet it was LONGgggggg walk
Yep. Pretty sure it was a crawl 😉
I bet those snails are *still* racing towards that mushroom! Fun response :))
You don’t say?! Darn it! 😀
It is so funny, i can just imagine it!! My brother used to play with them all the time.
With snails? Ewww.. good thing I never was around then 😉
I liked the surprise of the snails “racing”–fun!
Thank you Marcy 🙂
A snail race, brilliant. I can picture this so clearly, great job with that!
Kind of like that first scene in the movie, TURBO? 😉 Thank you!
aha..snails this time! 🙂 Liked your take, Shailaja!
Thanks Uma 🙂
So greed for yummy food is a common trait among all living things, is it? 🙂
Food is a basic need, so yeah, I am guessing so is greed 😀
Funghi…eww! But this must have been a fun race! 😉
You can bet that it was 😉
This is so cool and funny!
Thank you 🙂
This was funny. I keep picturing Gary the snail from Spongebob. My girls watch it all the time. I confess, I laugh while watching. Love your sense of humor on this!!
Ha ha, that IS quite a character, right? 🙂
lol.. Good one Shailaja 🙂
Thank you, Jyotsna 🙂
hahahaha Shailaja.. dropping in at your blog is beginning to be part of my pre-sleep routine ;). keep ’em coming!
So good to hear that, Aparna 🙂
haha! Good one!
Thank you 🙂
Loved your little snail tail. MMMM, funghi, slurp.
Thanks Cat. Like snails eh? Or is it the funghi? 😉
haha… awesome. Would love to see that race 🙂
Ha ha ha. Would be a long-ish wait on the sidelines, Roshan 😉
