Features: God gave me a task to walk a snail. I couldn’t move too fast, and the snail tried its best to crawl forward, only moving a little at a time. I urged, I yelled, I scolded. The snail looked at me with an apologetic gaze, as if saying, "I’ve already done my best!" I pulled, I tugged, even wanted to kick. The snail got hurt, sweating and panting, but continued to move forward. How strange, why did God ask me to walk a snail? The heavens were silent. "Sigh! Maybe God took the snail away!" Alright! Let go! Since God isn’t taking care of it anymore, why should I? Let the snail crawl forward while I fume behind. Huh? I smelled the fragrance of flowers. It turns out there’s a garden here. I felt a gentle breeze. It seems the night wind is so kind. Slow down! I heard birds chirping, I heard insects buzzing, I saw the stars twinkling beautifully in the sky. Huh? How come I never noticed these things before? Could it be I was mistaken?! I woke up from a dream. It was actually God who asked the snail to walk me.
