To help
it to move the snail produces slime.
This slime
protects the snail and enables it to glide over extremely sharp
objects wthout being injured.
You can
often see slime trails on paths, walls and windows.

The
year's at the spring
And
the days at the morn;
Morning's
at seven;
The
hill-side's dew pearled;
The
larks on the wing;
The
snail's on the thorn:
God's
in his heaven-
All's
right with the world.
(Robert
Browning)
