This story, based on a real and true friendship, narrates how a little boy in a wheelchair met his best friend of all times, and how they never left each other's side. A small snail in a shell loved being carried around in a small necklace. She loved how her owner discovered the world and she along with him. One day, she falls down in the sand a boy happens to find her and introduces her to his brother, Yago.
