Even a snail has a heart that longs to explore the world!
The world outside is vast and beautiful to the little snail. Early in the morning, he sets off on his adventure, full of energy. He crawls across prickly cucumbers, sneezes happily on a fuzzy green gourd, bravely swims across the ocean—which is actually a tiny stream, and climbs up a tall cornstalk to gaze at the blue sky from atop the red tassels…
He returns home late, ending his day of exploration, feeling completely content.
