I was swinging my way home as usual when I heard the loud barking noise in the neighbourhood. I walked out of the area and chose to walk on the wet pathway in the dizzling rain. Walking and kicking all the way in the dark, I heard something was flying off into a distance. I thought I kicked a pebble, only to realise later that I actually flipped a garden snail. All of sudden, I noticed that there were dozens of snails crawling everywhere.
I tried to gently turn it over to save it and I felt sorry for it that I had actually cracked its shell.
I told myself I would never jolly walk in that manner again. It may be a snail’s life but its still a living creature that didn’t do any harm on me.
It sounds kind of silly because people just step on snails and pass them over as trivial. Maybe people should start thinking more on these so-called trivial issues. A little bit of good anywhere adds up to a whole deal of goodness.
