***Snaily & the Petit Escargot ***

Mathilde has shared this lovely poem with us in a shining example of how much the French actually appreciate snails. The translation is below the video.

Petit escargot porte sur son dos, sa maisonnette
(Little snail holds on his back, his little house)

aussitôt qu’il pleut il est tout heureux
(As soon as it rains, it’s really happy)

il sort sa tête
(It takes his head out of his shell)

I know what you’re thinking and I don’t think it makes sense either. In other news, this project has taken a bizarre twisted streak where two imaginary snail characters are conducting hostage support on a popular online social network site. Beautifully random. I love it.

And then Snaily appeared in a restaurant. Here’s the proof:

Stockholm Syndrome for Snaily methinks.
