Kew Gardens Baffled
During an afternoon tea party on the Queen's veranda , attended by a variety of freeloading birds , and some local yokels , there was yet another strange sighting in her leafy estate . In the bananas , which badly needed a trim , there being many hanging dead leaves , the above fungal growth , like tiny mushrooms , was detected .
The coloured beetles which had invaded her Hibiscus last week seemed to have moved on to a warmer clime .
However, while the banana plantation was being trimmed by a serf , the above black snail was also found . The Queen responded by telling the illiterate , forelock- tugging gardener he could have an escargot supper.
