What a wonderful story! When I was a kid, my dad paid my brothers to collect all the snails they could find in a garbage bag. They found a whole lot of them, and they shook the bag really hard to see what would happen. All the snails foamed and I freaked out. I didn't want them to die. I didn't understand that snails in a garden are a bad thing. I didn't want anything to die. I'm still struggling with that even though I am now a farmer. I'm a farmer who doesn't kill things.
