I and my siblings entered into a garden behind the house I live presently. It was as if we have not had access to that place for long time.
On the fence were snails of various sizes, my immediate younger one picked the largest but it fell to the ground and the shell was completely broken and off, the body of the snail was whole so I bent and picked it. I looked at the garden and observed that they were few snails but if we clear the grasses we would pick many more hidden in the grasses. I picked a smaller species of the snail family(though not snail but edible) but since our focus was on snails, I dropped it. The garden was not well kept, some tomato fruits that were harvested previously were in a basket, I checked and saw that they were bad because because they were harvested and left for a long time. There were some tomato plants with ripe fruits, my youngest sibling moved towards them. I was happy that we have some good tomatoes. Everything in that garden was for our collective use.
