The tales of Mahonry-Moriancomer, Episode 2

As we last left little Mahonry-Moriancomer and Phil the Slug, they had just ran away from their home.

"I'm tired of being all dragged around, Mahonry!" Phil the Slug complained. "My belly is getting oh so very dirty."
"I'm sorry Phil," Mahonhry-Moriancomer apologized. "But for a slug on a leash, there's not much choice that you have." Phil sighed. He knew that Mahonry-Moriancomer meant well, but he was just SO TIRED of being dragged around for a whole week! They had been gone now for about that long, but Phil had lost count.
"Can't we just rest for just a day?" Phil moaned.
"No Phil."
"Half a day??"
"No Phil..."
"Just-"
"No Phil! I want to get as far away from home as we possibly can before we stop." Mahonry explained. "Even if that means...gulp...NO SNACKS!"
"Mahonry!!!" Phil exclaimed. "You're out of your mind! No snacks?? What are you? Uhhhh...out of your mind?!"
"Phil! We ran out of snacks yesterday, you finished the last granola oat, remember??"
"Ah yes... That was a good one, that was... Gee... I can still taste-"
"LAND HO!!" Mahonry-Moriancomer suddenly yelled.
"Mahonry, you ARE out of your mind! We've been traveling on land since we left! We-"
"Phil, no! That's not what I meant! I meant that we've reached the Land of Ho!" And sure enough, they had! They both stared at the sign with the words, "Welcome, all you weary travelers who have probably run out of all your snacks yesterday, to the Land of Ho! Where everything is joyous and happy! In just two more steps you will be inside the Land of Ho where you can take two rights and a left to get to the main building. Hope you have a nice stay!"
"...But Mahonry," Phil said as they finished reading. "There only IS one building."
"Then that must be the one, Phil!" Mahonry said, and they walked inside.
