Envy

I wonder if snails suffer from shell envy?

The big fellow is a the shell of a giant triton, Charonia tritonis and returned with us from Fiji  over 40 year ago. They are sometimes known as triton's trumpets because the South Sea islanders use them as as a musical instrument.

Thou schalt not coueyte `the hous of thi neiybore, nether thou schalt desyre his wijf, not seruaunt, not handmaide, not oxe, not asse, nether alle thingis that ben hise.
- Wycliffe Bible. circa 1390

Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, thou shalt not couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his maid seruant, nor his oxe, nor his asse, nor any thing that is thy neighbours.
- King James Bible of 1611

You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.
- World English Bible 1997
