The life of a little country snail goes by slowly and happily thanks to the affection of her parents and of all the little critters living around their den. At least until the little snail's grandma gets sick, and to go and visit her the snail must set off on a journey towards the other side of the meadow, embarking on an adventure that will teach her how important it is to have some good friends, as well as knowing how to go patiently on your own way.

This short story is included in the Goodnight Little Friends collection.
