A certain snail was particularly fond of peaches. One day this snail decided to go in search of a peach tree. He found such a tree and began to climb up the trunk slowly. As he climbed, a bird came along and began asking questions.
"Where are you going?" asked the bird.
The snail replied, "I'm climbing this peach tree to get a peach."
"Silly snail," scolded the bird. It's not the right season, there are no peaches on this tree!"
The snail replied, "Well by the time I get to the top, there will be peaches!"
