The family had just sat down to enjoy their annual Christmas Lunch with Turkey and all the trimmings, when there was a pronounced knock on the front door. The father of the house rose and went impatiently to the door and quickly opened it. To his suprise there was no one there and so he looked around to see what had nade the noise. As he was about to shut the door again, he noticed on the doorstep a strangely alert looking snail. the snail cleared his throat and said in a clear, but squeaky voice "Excuse me, but are you about to enjoy a wonderful Christmas meal?" The man was stunned ans replied, "Yes, but what's it to you?" Whereupon the snail replied "My family and I are starving, so I was wondering if you could spare us just a little?" The man was utterly gobsmacked and shouted angrily "You cheeky little sod!" and promptly kicked the snail right over his own hedge and into his neighbor's garden. He sat down again with his family and they finished their meal and not another thought was given to the incident. The weeks went by and Easter was soon upon them and once more they were to be found sat around the table. They were about to enjoy a feast of a meal when there was again a pronounced knock on the door. The father arose, strode to the door and threw it open only to find no one there. Once more as he was about to shut the door, he noticed that this strangely alert looking snail was on the doorstep again. The snail fixed him with a sad look in his eye and said with the utmost hurt in his voice, "What did you do that for?"
