many years ago, a young snail went out in search for a new shell as its old one no longer fits, it has searched for many years, and it finally found the empty shell it had been searching for. but the shell was hanging on the end of the tallest branch of the tallest tree, and was determined to get it no matter what.
so it worked hard to get there, the tree was hard to climb, there were many obstructions, but the young snail pushed itself to keep going, because this perilous trip will be worth it when it reaches the shell that awaits it at the end of the journey.
the young snail travelled high and far, but is has only made it half way, and as it has always done, it looked at the shell for motivation. but all it found was torture. the shell had already had a snail, the snail has just left it behind for some fresh air, and it was time that it returned to the lonely shell.
left with nothing but misery, the young snail backed away, trying not to get involved and retraced the journey that it has been through. all they obstacles that it has overcome. with nothing left to do, the snail just erased its memory, hoping that everything was just a bad dream.
life is like a box of chocolates =]
