Hello, Pita. Have you seen our pumpkin plants and the tomatoes?

Yes, I saw them this morning. Some were eaten by snails during the night.

Oh, that's terrible! It was probably the rain that brought those snails out.

True enough. I have spoken to the others at the garden, and they should help us.

Good, my coworkers and I can bring some snail repellent tomorrow.
