"A long, long time ago, there were no mountains, no trees, and nothing but a sea, a boundless sea.""Not even grandpa?" asked the squirrel. "Hehe, no, not even the grandfather's grandfather." The old tree said, "The day when I first grew out of the ground, oh, that was a long way off, and that day was already three hundred feet long from me. Now, I used to be a seed, I used to be a seedling, not half the height of a leaf..." The old tree fell into a long memory, "Which year was that? There are nine hundred rings on my body. Well, when I was born, who were I by my side?" "Is there me?" Squirrel asked in a high voice. "Xiaolu, don't interrupt, you were still a seed at that time." Guozixiong said. "Did I also grow from the ground? Oh, why don't I have leaves?" The squirrel spread out its small paws and said sadly. "But you can get rid of the muddy banks and run freely. I envy you too," said the old tree. "But I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to listen to Grandpa Lao Shu tell stories." "But what I see is also limited. For so many years, I have continued to grow in order to see more things, but the things outside my field of vision are always infinite. I finally have the day when I get tired and can't grow anymore. At that time, little squirrel, you have been to many places and seen a lot of scenery that I will never see. At that time, squirrel, will you come back and tell me what you saw?" "Yes, I will!" said the squirrel, jumping. "I will travel every day, and I will come back and tell you what I see." "Hehe, you will grow up and go farther and farther, and finally you can't come back every day..." The old tree pondered again, "How much I want to see the sea, every year, the feathers of seabirds fall, bringing Come to the breath of the ocean..." "The sea? Where is it?" "I heard that you can know what the world is like by climbing all the way to the highest point on this earth." "I'm going right now!" "Little deer, wait for me." The wombat and the flying pig shouted, but the squirrel had disappeared three times and two times among the huge branches. So the squirrel started her long run, and she climbed down the huge green tree. Running in the shade of the big green tree, she never ran out of there, it was their kingdom. Under the shade of the tree are the Xingxingcao family, the Fulanhua family, the Ye Cuier family, as well as countless flowers and insects. They were always busy, and the butterfly was busy talking a lot. He flipped up and down and talked and laughed with every flower. The snail is busy climbing the tree again, but he always has no perseverance. Whenever he climbs as high as the gladiolus, he will stop and talk to her excitedly, and then slide down unconsciously, waiting for him to slide to the end for a day. It was over, and he would climb up again the next day. Gladiolus always raised her head proudly and said that he was annoying. But every morning she wakes up with a first-class snail to talk to her. When the squirrel jumped over his head quickly, the snail closed his eyes in fright, and then sighed: "Oh, when will I be able to practice like a squirrel and a deer to climb the big green tree twenty times a day? That way? I can talk to Sister Jianlan twenty times a day." The squirrel ran out of the shadow of the big green tree. She found that the world is made up of countless shadows. Between the shadows, there is a shining boundary. She jumped in the shadows, and she was surprised and panicked in the unfamiliar vision. , the heart is like that light and shadow are intertwined. Countless lights shone in the sky above the forest, swaying and dazzling. She chose a direction and ran down. Squirrel feels that she has run thousands of miles. She has run more distances today than in her entire life. Of course, she was only born for eleven months. "I should almost run to the end of the world. How far have I run, where is the border?" She stopped and asked the fine red fruit by the roadside, "Where is the border of the world?" "Border? I am the center of the world, where did you come from?" "What? My place is the center of the world. I came from the big green tree, and I have run such a long way." "Big green tree? Is that the big green tree?" When the squirrel turned around, she saw a nine-hundred-year-old tree standing on top of the canopy, as if she was still at his feet. The squirrel has seen it, that peculiar pinnacle, it also grows out of the earth like a tree, but it is so tall, how many years has it grown? "When you stand there, you can see the boundaries of the world." She ran towards the foot of the mountain and gradually became a small dot on the edge of the towering Shi Feng. The squirrel finally reached the peak. She came to the edge of the cliff. The blue clouds dispersed, and the giant tree turned into grass. Outside the forest, there was a golden band around it. She raised her head higher and looked into the distance, when suddenly the boundless blue surged towards her. That's... the sea. I hear it. Hu-hu- like the wind in the night, it breathes! She cheered and jumped, suddenly realizing that there was no one where she was standing. "Has no one been here before? Has no one seen what I've seen? Who am I going to tell about my happiness? Who knows?" Her voice swayed away from the summit, dissipating in the mist. The top of the mountain is empty, with only one stone standing in the middle of the flat ground. It is not connected to the mountain, as if it is not part of the mountain. Who would put it here? "Stone, why are you standing here alone?" "Are you listening to the voice of the sea?" "How long have you been here? Aren't you bored when no one talks to you?" The squirrel went around the stone, but the stone didn't speak. The squirrel pressed its face to the stone, as if listening carefully. After a long time, she slowly backed away, tiptoeing as if afraid of disturbing something. "Who am I?" Stone said that day as they sat on the big green tree to enjoy the shade. "You're a stone," said the squirrel, scratching its paw. "Am I not a monkey?" "yes?" "But there are many monkeys in this world, are they all me?" "Well..." Squirrel thought about it seriously, "I only know that there are many squirrels in this world, but none of them are me. I don't know about monkeys." "Yes, I am not them, they are all together, but I am here." Stone Monkey lowered his head and said. "Aren't they playing with you? Why?" "Because I'm not like them. But although I came out of a rock, I'm still a monkey, right?" "Well, I wanted to be the flower under the big green tree for a while, but she refused to exchange it with me. Later, I wanted to be a deer, but I couldn't learn how to jump long. At present, I can only be a squirrel." "With them, I don't remember myself, but I often stop inexplicably and find that they are running and I am not moving, and I am very scared." "You're scared that you've found yourself?" said a voice. The monkey and the squirrel looked up, and they were talking about a leaf. She smiled kindly: "I am a leaf." "I know you are a leaf." "But you know my name is a leaf? I mean, I'm mine. Not any other." "I think it's pretty much the same." "But I'm the only leaf in the world." "Ok?" "I mean..." Ye Ye was a little anxious, she curled up her edge and wanted to make a gesture, but then gave up, "As soon as I close my eyes, I will be the only one in the world, so I will be afraid. When I opened my eyes and saw so many of myself, I felt at ease. When the wind blew, we rustled, and I knew my existence from these sounds, and I fell asleep with peace of mind. "But a lot of leaves were gone. As soon as I woke up, they were gone, I don't know where they went, but there were new leaves in my sight. I didn't know when they left, there are too many here. Ye Zi, I am afraid that I will forget myself, I am afraid that others will not know that there is me, so..." Ye Zi said timidly, "I hope that someone will call my name, and then I will promise, and then I will know myself. Here, you can sleep happily." "Then I'll call you every day, I'll call you when I get up, and I'll call you when I come back." The squirrel said, "Do you want me to call you Shishi?" "No need," said the stone monkey, "I'm going to sleep in." "Stone." The squirrel called when he woke up early in the morning. Then she smiled. "A leaf," she called. "Eh." Someone agreed. "Well." The squirrel was happy to leave, but the leaf said, "What did you ask me to do?" "Didn't you want me to call you?" "Where is it?" Leaf said. "Oops, I forgot which leaf it was." Squirrel cried, "Huh? Will I be unable to find her if I change the branch?" She raised her head, the leaves on the huge green tree were shaking, like a green sea, boundless. Spring is the sound of flapping wings. Thousands of birds with only broad wings land on the big green trees, their backs are the blue of the sea, and their belly is the pure white of clouds. "Where are you from? How come I've never seen you?" "Hahaha this is our home. I haven't seen you, little guy." A big bird laughed, her wings spread out like a cloud. "Oh, there are so many big flowers on the tree!" Shito came back from playing outside, looked up and exclaimed. "Hee hee hee so stupid." Squirrel laughed at him. "Are you stupider than me?" A voice asked timidly. "Silly bird, I really think I'm stupid when I call you A-Ben." Big Bird smiled and pushed out a little bird that was shrunk behind him, "His name is A-Ben, and he was born this year. It's the first time. Go back to your hometown, afraid of life." The squirrel looked up at these two "birds" who were as tall as themselves: "Ah, you are so handsome!" "What do you mean, no one ever said that to me." "That's right, you are so beautiful. This is the word they said about me, and now I will give it to you." "Thank you." A Ben stretched his wings and made a gesture, "but I'm uglier than my parents, not as big as their wings, not as beautiful as their feathers, I've been sad for this several times, but They always laugh at me for being stupid." "You will grow up, you will grow into the biggest and most beautiful bird here." "Really?" A Ben shouted happily, flapping his wings, "I will grow up, I will grow up." Stone also sat aside and watched, for some reason he seemed a little melancholy. "What a big water, whoever can go in and come out, we will obey him." The monkeys shouted. "Yes, hahaha! Do you dare?" "Do you dare?" "I'm going!" A monkey jumped out, but as soon as it reached the edge of the pool to make a jump, it turned back with a smile. "Who dares to go?" "I..." said a weak voice, but the monkeys were jumping and making noises, pushing each other, messing up, chasing and jumping away, no one heard the sound. Stone stood there alone, and no monkey came to ask him if he dared. He looked up at the huge roaring water curtain at the other end of the tan. The wind was blowing, and the water mist was pouring on his face, making people breathless. At night, the mountains and forests were quiet, and under the blue moonlight, only the water curtain still roared, smashing the moon in the pool into silver shavings. A small figure came to the side of the pool. He looked at the waterfall for a long time, and suddenly jumped out. He fell into the pool at a distance from the water curtain, and only climbed up after being half-drowned. He looked again for a long time, then jumped out again. "Tom" the result was the same, this time he thumped longer to get up. He knelt on the edge of the pool, leaning on the stone, watching the water drip off his head and wet the stone surface. "I can not do it." "There are a lot of things in this world that can't be done." "Who?" The monkey looked around and raised his head again, "Moon, is that you?" "Hee hee hee, stupid monkey." The squirrel jumped down from the tree, came to the big rock pool under the moonlight, and put his big tail close to his face, "Do I look like the moon?" "A little bit, but you won't shine." "Silly monkey, why are you jumping into the pool? Did you learn to swim?" "I want to jump into that waterfall." "Hahaha, you are so strange, is there anything to eat in the waterfall?" "No... maybe there is." "Maybe? You've drowned yourself to death again and again for this?" "No, it's not for food, it's... I don't know, I just want to know if I can do it." "So what if you did it?" "If you do it, you will be happy." "It's strange that you are happy because of things you can't eat?" "Oh yes," the monkey also laughed, "I don't know why?" "But," the squirrel lowered his eyelids and said sadly, "there are so many things that can't be done in the world, aren't you always unable to be happy?" "...I always wonder, in this world there are sun, moon, distant mountains, clouds, there are so many things that we can't see or touch, can they be touched? If they can't be touched, How do I know if they are really there?" "Ah?" Squirrel tilted his head to look at the moon in the sky, "What are you saying, no one can understand." The monkey stood up and looked at the sky: "Since they are there, they are touchable things, so no one can really touch them? Is it really unreachable? If a place is forever unreachable, then that place Does it still exist? We come into this world knowing that there are things that will never be met, things that will never be possible, and the thought of that makes me sad." "Okay, you can touch it." The squirrel raised its small paw lazily, "Look, isn't the moon holding my hand now?" The monkey turned back and saw the blue moonlight on the squirrel's palm, as if flowing in the small palm. He was startled. "May I eat you?" One day, a tiger walked over gently and asked timidly. "Is it the first time you came out to hunt?" The squirrel asked, tilting its head. The other monkeys ran up the tree early. Tiger blushed and nodded. "Then what did you eat before?" "..." "what?" "Eat milk."
