May 3. “And how is Pippa?”

“How do you know about Pippa?”

“I heard you tell the family about her and how she came to live with you.”

“It’s funny that one day, when I brought back the bowl in which I serve water to Raja, she made her grand entry into our home clinging on to the bowl and I was totally unaware about this. I promptly took her and placed her gently on the soil of one of our home plants.”

“How did you think of a name like Pippa?”

“She’s named after Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa. Actually I just loved the name and thought it was the right name for my snail friend. Pippa also has a cute butt!”

“I have an idea.”

“What?”

“Let’s write a story revolving around Pippa!”

“Why not!”
