My pet snail

My mum found the snail in the bush at my house. I put it in an upside down container and took it to school. It had some grasses to eat so it was a happy snail. My snail slid along on the glass in the snail race, he went backwards towards the start line. He didn't finish the race. I had his container in my pocket and he sneakily popped out and I think he must have got squashed in my pocket cause I can't find him now. I was going to keep him as a pet forever. Conroy.
