Chris nodded again. "He left a couple of days ago."

"Oh, what a shame." said Knarf. "And I never even said "I changed my mind." he said. Good-bye to him."

There's still time "That's all right." said Chris- topher Cricket. "You can still say Good-bye to him.'

"But how can I cried Knarf in astonishment. "You said he left a couple of days ago. He inust be far away by now!"

Christopher Cricket slowly uncrossed his legs and unfolded his arms. He got up, stretched himself and yawned.

Knarf watched him with growing surprise and wonder.

"Come with me." Chris said

at last.

Then he led Knarf to a rose- bush about a yard away.

Sure enough. there was old Glive, the slowest Snail in the world, moving gradually across a small white pebble. He car- ried (as all Snails do) his house on his back. He just seemed to stand in his open front door, leaning on a cane.

He smiled as Knart and Christopher came up.

"How do you do. friends," Glive said. He sounded a little out of breath. It was hard work climbing up

the pebble.

"But, Glive." said Knarf. "you haven't gone away!"

"Oh yes, I have," said Glive. "I used to be on the other side

"That's only two or three feet." said Knarf.

"I could do that in one hop," said Christoper.

Why hurry? "Tut-tut, a little at a time, my friends," said Glive. "What's anybody's hurry? If a trip is pleasant and this one is why should I be in a hurry to end it?"

"But-" started Knarf.

"How do you do, friends,” Glive said to Knarf and Chris.

"Well, I'd better be getting along. I'm on my way to have dinner with my Grandmother next month and I don't want to be too late."

Said Good-bye Knarf said Good-bye to Glive, and Christopher Cricket said Good-bye again.

By the end of the week, Glive had reached the maple tree on the other end of the lawn. It was about as far as Knarf could throw a ball. But Glive didn't seem to mind.

Knarf saw him gliding along, Where he started

"How lovely it is to go slow- inch by inch, smiling out of his "This is where old Glive ly," continued Glive."
