They lived
quite retired and very happily; and as they had no children of their own, they
had adopted a little common snail, which they brought up as their own child. The
little one would not grow, for he was only a common snail; but the old people,
particularly the mother-snail, declared that she could easily see how he grew;
and when the father said he could not perceive it, she begged him to feel the
little snail's shell, and he did so, and found that the mother was right.
One day it rained very fast. "Listen, what a drumming there is on the
burdock-leaves; turn, turn, turn; turn, turn, turn," said the father-snail.
"There come the drops," said the mother; "they are trickling down the stalks. We
shall have it very wet here presently. I am very glad we have such good houses,
and that the little one has one of his own. There has been really more done for
us than for any other creature; it is quite plain that we are the most noble
people in the world.
We have houses from our birth, and the burdock
forest has been planted for us. I should very much like to know how far it
extends, and what lies beyond it." "There can be nothing better than we have
here," said the father-snail; "I wish for nothing more." "Yes, but I do," said
the mother; "I should like to be taken to the palace, and boiled, and laid upon
a silver dish, as was done to all our ancestors; and you may be sure it must be
something very uncommon." "The nobleman's castle, perhaps, has fallen to decay,"
said the snail-father, or the burdock wood may have grown out.
