Once, on an evening as soft as a blanket, there lived Snail. Grandma's garden was the biggest small place in the world, full of paths that went somewhere new every time. Snail wanted everything right now: dinner now, the swing now, the end of the story now. Snail felt warm all the way down to his toes.

There were sunflowers taller than Grandma, beans climbing up strings. A gnome with a chipped nose who had seen everything. Waiting was the hardest thing in the world for Snail. Even waiting for toast felt like a whole year.

Just before supper, a note fluttered down onto the doorstep. In curly letters it said: "Please come to the Wishing Well at the bottom of the garden." Nobody was in a hurry, not even time itself.
