And so one day, light and joyous, he went on to see the world.
Some leaves fluttered in the breeze,
and others hung heavily to the ground.
Where the dark earth split, crystals glittered in
the early sun. There were polka-dotted mushrooms,
and towery stems from which little flowers seemed to wave.
There was a pinecone lying in the lacy shade of ferns,
and pebbles in a nest of sand, smooth and round
like the eggs of the turtledove. Lichen clung
to the rocks and bark to the trees.
The tender buds were sweet and cool with morning dew.
The little snail was very happy.
