Once upon a time, there was a snail named Slipper who lived in a garden. Slipper liked to explore and one day while digging through the soil, he found a tunnel. Being curious, he decided to follow it. He didn't know where it would lead him, but he was excited to find out.
As he made his way through the tunnel, he noticed that the walls were slimy. He thought it was strange, but he was determined to reach the end. Finally, he came to a big, open room. To his surprise, he saw his mate, Slipper, waiting for him. "Slipper! What are you doing here?" asked Slipper. His mate replied, "I was exploring too and I found this tunnel. I didn't know where it would lead me, but I'm glad I found you." They both laughed and continued their adventure together, exploring the unknown and having fun.
