A grasshopper, a snail, and a centipede are relaxing in the grasshopper's house, when they realize that they are getting hungry. They decide that one of them should go out for a pizza. The snail says, “I'd go, but I'm kind of slow.” The grasshopper says, “I don't mind going, but my hopping will shake the pizza and mess it up.” So they decide to send the centipede. The snail and grasshopper wait and wait. The longer they wait, the hungrier they get. Finally, when an hour passes and the centipede still hasn't returned, the irritated snail and grasshopper decide to go look for him. They get as far as the front door where they find the centipede sitting there putting on his shoes.
