Route note and snail story

C11 · Route note and snail story

Complete fictional source

Two original texts describe the same pretend cardboard garden. The route note says, ‘Seed table: follow the dotted path past the cardboard gate.’ Its image description shows a dotted path and a large sign labelled SEED TABLE. No other sign size is supplied, so a reader cannot compare sizes. The imaginative text says, ‘The gate sneezed, and Snail slid through a shower of paper stars.’ That text offers a funny event. A visitor trying to find the seed table can use the route note; a reader wanting a story can use the imaginative text. The garden, sneeze and route are fictional and not a real local direction.
