There was a girl named Mia who absolutely loved playing in the sand. Her favorite thing to do was build amazing sand castles. Every day, she eagerly looked forward to her time outside, creating grand sand towers.
Mia had a unique habit she believed brought her good luck.
Every time she played with sand, she would eat a tiny grain, convinced it was her special charm. And, indeed, it seemed like luck was always on her side. Whenever she ate that grain of sand, everything she wished for seemed to come true.
On rainy days, the sand would mix with the soil and become clumpy. Despite her parents’ warnings about eating “dirt,” Mia couldn’t resist the sand, let alone the muddy sand that was on rainy days.
In fact, she found that the larger the chunk of mud she ate, the more luck she seemed to have. She thought it was a magic recipe for endless luck and fun.
One day, as Mia played outside, dark clouds began to gather, and rain started pouring down. Mia, as usual, grabbed a big chunk of the muddy sand, believing it would bring her the day’s luck. But this time, something tasted off.
The mud was incredibly unpleasant, and Mia realized too late that she had bitten into something slimy—she had just eaten a snail mixed in with the mud!
Panicking, Mia’s parents rushed her to the hospital.
The doctors tried everything they could to remove the snail from her body, but it was too late. The snail had already merged with her cells.
From that day on, Mia began to notice a strange change. Her skin started to feel slimy and sticky.
She was no longer able to enjoy her favorite activities the way she used to. The once-beloved grains of sand had brought her not just good luck, but also an unexpected and uncomfortable change.
