Trying to find title/author of story I read many years ago, around 1964. Story was written from the point of view of a snail like creature. The central character describes (stream-of-consciousness?) himself and other characters moving along a path in a constant search for food. The story ends with the main character falling into what turns out to be the fuel tank of a space ship.
Answer
This is "On the Fourth Planet" (1963) by J. F. Bone. The question was asked before as "Short story where creatures have squares of territory." Originally published in the April 1963 issue of Galaxy and widely anthologized.
