“Thank goodness. It IS a good thing I ran into you. Or, shall I say, you ran into me. No need to look dismayed. I should have spoken up. I was trying to remember the directions. I must have read them too quickly. I’m a fast reader—a speed-reading champion, in fact—and sometimes that can get me into trouble because I skip over things.”

“Speed-reading champion?” Mona asked.

“Yes. My name is Skim,” the snail said, blinking behind his glasses. “Now, this convergence was a pleasure, but I must keep going.”

Mona watched as the snail began to slowly inch his way forward to the Heartwood. Very slowly.

It would take him at least a day and a night to reach the Heartwood at the rate he was traveling.

As much as she wanted to find the best blossom and win the contest, she couldn’t leave a guest alone in the forest, so far away from the Heartwood. Mr. Heartwood would never do that. Suddenly, with an ache, Mona missed the big badger.

“I can take you there, if you’d like,” she said to the snail.

“Would you?” The snail perked up. “I really could use a quiescence.”

“Excuse me?”

“A rest,” the snail explained. “It has been a long journey. I may be a speed-reading champion, but in all other matters, I am extremely slow.”

Indeed by the time he’d inched his way onto the luggage cart, the rain had started to fall, a few drops slipping through the canopy, and Skim was happy about it. The pitter-patter of the rain mixed with his chattering as Mona rolled him back to the hotel.
