Jealous of the Snail's Success

I'M NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS I'D HOPED TO BE. NO ONE IS. EXCEPT FOR SNAIL. Snail HE FOUND THAT TOP HAT IN THE RIVER. IT WAS A HUGE SCORE FOR HIM. JEALOUS.

A turtle and a mouse discuss how unsuccessful they feel, until they notice a snail proudly wearing a top hat. The joke is that the snail’s tiny achievement makes him seem wildly successful compared with everyone else, prompting the mouse’s jealous reaction. It is used as a self-deprecating reaction to someone unexpectedly succeeding at something small.
