The sky was cloudy and it was raining! I sat in front of my bed and peered at the little sprite that was ticking and dripping and hiding under the eaves singing a happy song. Without realizing it, I was mesmerized. In the distance, a thick gray fog was coming toward me.
I was surprised to feel a lot lighter, slowly, slowly, began to sway with the wind. Some of the short houses around me suddenly became a towering 10,000-foot peak, I floated higher and higher, and more and more distant.
Finally, I was surrounded by a blanket of white, and there was nothing left on my body. "Oh, where did my body go?" Until a ray of sunlight from the clouds poured down on my body emitting seven colors of light, I realized that I had become a crystal bright water droplet.
In a flash, a group of small friends appeared around me, and they all opened their lovely eyes, opened their shy mouths, and seemed to be greeting me quietly. I was surprised and thoughtfully stepped into the home of the little drops of water. "Hello, where is this, please?" I asked cautiously. One of the droplets turned its head and asked curiously, "You don't know this? This is a dark cloud, the home of our little raindrops."
"But I came from the ground!"
"No, you are a little raindrop too." The little raindrop said with certainty. I forgot what I already looked like as a little raindrop.
"The dark clouds birthed us, the sun brought us back, and look, now we're going down to play!" Suddenly, I was pushed by an unknown external force and fell from a height of 10,000 miles, and the wind blew us westward.
Like a parachute jump, I was like a free bird flying left and right in the air. Finally, we landed in the arms of Mother Earth.
"Huh? Why is it so dark here?" The droplets were looking left and right. I looked upward and realized that we had fallen into a huge, unfathomable cavern, and the trickle of water above us was bubbling up here and falling into the cave.
"Ouch, what's going on?" The little drops of water were screaming in pain. It turns out that there is a strange shape of the stone below, the small droplets no matter how to push and pull the top of the bump, hard to pull it. Not long, we are exhausted and had to pant while lying on the boulder.
After a few hours, the sunlight at the entrance of the cave was blocked. There was another deafening thunder in the distant sky, and it looked like another group of brothers was coming down, the little drops thought.
After a shower of rain, large and small, the stone did not move, and the droplets, no matter how hard they tried to rush, still did not help. In this way, time a day, a month, a year, 10,000 years ...... has passed. The stone finally opened up: "You are just some small drops of water, not comparable to me!" The unwavering us but do not think this is true: "No, we firmly believe that drops of water can penetrate the stone!"
After thousands more years of stormy waves, the stone felt great pain. Look at itself: ah! Its own body has been as thin as a sheet of paper. Finally, under the impact of a dozen small drops of water, the stone was broken! One by one, the droplets jumped down and reunited with their brothers and sisters in the underground river. We laughed, sang, and danced with great joy.
We rushed to the babbling brook, the long and wide river, the wide river, and then, a turquoise blue ocean without surplus came into view.
Suddenly, my ears rang with the sound of a call: "Wake up! Wake up!" Another burst of mist swept over me, and everything around me zoomed out again, and it turned out that my mother had nudged the mesmerized me awake.
