A passer-by

Written By Angela Sayre

Walking in the back yard, Brian said, “oh, there’s one of your guys.” Sure enough, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t there a second ago… but there he was, looking up at me with one eye visible in his broken home. “Well, little buddy, you are in luck. You wondered into the right yard at the right time,” I told him.

You could see his little tail from the broken back end. The crazy thing is that this is not the first time I have seen this exact same pattern in a broken shell.

I took this little guy inside and gave him a personal home shopping spree. He switched in no time into a beautiful donated pearl shell. I gave him some water, a snack, and sent him on his way. If you’d like to see the video of his exchange please check out my facebook page.

Broken shell, poor guy…
