The Celestial Omnibus, and Other Stories Chapter 2 - The Other Side of the Hedge

In which a weary traveller, burdened by the monotony and relentless progress of a familiar road, discovers a hidden passage through a hedge leading to a serene but puzzling land enclosed by a moat, where time and effort seem to lose their meaning. As he explores this tranquil but confining place, he encounters its inhabitants and contemplates the nature of advance, rest, and the roads we choose to follow.
