Swing under the moon

Another year of spring, thousand moon seven years old, thousand stars six years old.

Abpa bought a number of saplings, going to plant a few trees in the courtyard, thousand moon to Abpa for a sapling, pulling thousands of stars, planted it on the roof of the people, and carefully with the book in the way to take care of it - to give it watering like rain is not on time, sometimes more and sometimes less, to let it have strong vitality.

Thousands of home began to plant rice, thousands of acres of land, so the kind of rice is very much, thousands of dad bought fish fry is very much, there are more than three hundred very small fish. Rice and fish grow together, they spent the spring together, and spent the summer together, is about to usher in a fruitful autumn.

Previous autumn rain is not much, but that autumn, under a heavy rain, the autumn water took away a lot of fruit - hard spring and summer of the working people's sweat, also took away hard to raise the fish, the more water, the more fish out of the rice field.

It was a fierce storm.

It appears at one or two in the afternoon.

The sky and the air have been holding up for three or four days. People hurried back to their houses and waited for the storm that was yet to come. The rain is like a mighty army, and like the defeat of the army, it comes with vigour and vigour, three or four days in advance to give people a notice letter, but it is not simply, at the beginning, the rain is thin and dense, after a while, the rain is heavy and coarse, after a while, the rain has been manic, the sky like firing bullets stomping on the earth. He roused people from their dreams so violently that he struck the ground, and he sat on the roof, pouring water through the holes in the broken house. Rain more and more, the momentum is more and more fierce, pouring down, soon submerged crops, even rice to drown, thousands of fish estimated already scattered, thousands of courtyard has been submerged, thousands of people can only live on the second floor.

Thousands of Dad looked at the flood, the five features of the pump, eyebrows soon raised, pursed the mouth, hand tightly clenched into a fist, as if to throw a fist against the wall, but he did nothing, put the original hand on the windowsill hard down. Thousands of dad kept pacing in the room, suddenly made a decision: he will go into the water to look for the fish. The fish were reared at the beginning of spring, and by now some were as big as your hand! The whole family was longing for a fresh fish meal. Thousands of dad back fishing net, menacingly went out, the whole family crowded in front of that small window, refueling for him.

Thousand moon and thousand stars also want to go out to catch fish, they suddenly remembered, in the last summer to buy a swimming ring, so they quickly returned to the room, rummaging for two have not blown up the swimming ring.

"Found, let's hurry up and blow!" Thousand moon and thousand stars very hard to blow up, blow for a long time, mouth and tongue are numb, two people finally hard to blow good gas. They secretly came to the room of thousands of mom and dad, found a thick and large rope, tied to their swimming ring, and tightly clutched, two people also carried a sack, holding a smaller fish to write down a note and can not let people feel at ease, while the family did not pay attention to secretly slipped out.

"Wow, it's as big as the swimming pool we went to last summer!" Thousands of stars looked at the flood scene said.

"No, it's bigger than a swimming pool. A thousand Stars, you'd better tie up your hair."

Out of the yard gate on the first floor, they found that the water was not particularly deep, but only half deep, and that the rain, though still falling, had lessened.

"Look at this, our fish." Eagle-eyed thousand stars to the water, quick thousand moon to the water, immediately caught a big snakehead, really hit the ground running ah, they carefully put the big snakehead into the sack.

"Why don't we go a little further, you see, there's Papa." "Said the moon. So they walked slowly along.

'This is Mana's field.' They looked around excitedly, looking for the fish. "Here's one!" A thousand months, no catch, the fish ran away. At this time, the moon turned around and found a big fish on the wall at the door of the neighbor's yard, so she tried to catch it, ha! Got it again!
