You were spending nice time with your seven-year-old daughter in the garden. You were sitting on the terrace, watching her play. Even though Claire was a very energetic child, running everywhere and playing noisily, you two really had a wonderful time.

A moment later, Claire ran towards you with a smile on her face, hiding something in her small hands.

"Mommy, look! I found a snail!" She enthusiastically showed you the little animal that was slowly crawling on her hand as Claire giggled.

"Can I keep him as a pet, please?" She asked pleadingly, hoping that you would let her do it.
