| Verily, 'twas in the year of our Lord, a knight of great renown,
| Sir Godfrey, became custodian of a vast fortune, yet a fiendish
| curse did accompany it. A snail of diminutive stature, but of
| fatal touch, pursued him ceaselessly. The snail, unyielding as
| stone and with senses keener than a hound's, knew ever the
| knight's whereabouts.

| Sir Godfrey, with a mind as sharp as his blade, took to cunning
| stratagems. He did construct a fortress in the highest peaks,
| moated with a sea of salt, for it is known that the humble snail
| shuns the stuff. Amidst the bracing mountain air, Sir Godfrey did
| espy a snail within his keep. Quaking with dread, yet with
| resolve, he did raise his foot to crush the intruder, but lo! His
| boot did meet naught but clay and paint. 'Twas a decoy snail.
