> 秋天的花园里,所有的花儿都凋谢了,种子落到了地上。
> 只剩下一棵种子,它是一棵小小的,害怕离开母体的,蒲公英的种子。
>
> 冬天到了,风越刮越大,越刮越猛,种子紧紧抓住花托,它感到狂风无情地吹过身旁。
> 最后种子不得不离开花园,它变成了风的一部分,随着风儿飞向远方
>
> 这世界真大呀,远远超出了种子的想象。
> 然而这世界多么美丽宽广。
> 它看的越多,越觉得自己是那么的渺小。
> 哪里是自己的归宿,家究竟在何方?
>
> 当雪花飘落的时候,种子落在地上,
> 一片安宁覆盖着大地,它在寂静中默默地盼望。
>
> 终于春天来了,阳光照耀着大地,温暖着空气,
> 小小种子发芽了,长出细小的叶片和根。
> 它的叶子长的大大的,采集阳光。
> 它的根扎得深深的,吸收水分。
> 不久,种子开花了,变成了一棵娇嫩明媚的蒲公英,像它的名字一样。
> 它请小鹿和小兔,来将它的绿叶品尝;
> 又邀蜜蜂和蝴蝶,来把它甜蜜的花粉分享。
>
> 在一夜之间,蒲公英花儿,变成了许许多多成熟的种子,
> 它们都成了风的一部分,随着风儿飘向远方。
> 花托上只留下一棵种子,“别怕”蒲公英悄悄地说,
> “风儿,阳光,雨露会照料,去吧,去吧,新的世界在等着你”
>
> 它勇敢地飞走了,开始新的旅行。

Mi amigo Chileno ----Alejandro Romero

A boy 9 years old. He jumped into the swimming pool directly just to show us the depth of this pool.
We became friends very soon. Sitting on the wooden fence we exchanged our names and ages, we talked about the countries I had ever been. He taught me how to ride his motorcycle (some type of 4 wheels like F1)---the 2nd time I made big progress but the following 10 times I didn’t improve anymore. And when it was his turn I helped him by pushing the motorcycle climbing the peak. I told him the cost of normal 2 wheels motorcycle in China and the brands, and the same information about my car. We compared whose arm muscle was stronger, and of course the gentleman’s. I learned a new Spanish word Lago which means lake when we read newspaper together. I taught him the Chinese song “Jasmin”. I promised him that China was very beautiful. He asked me my favorite color, I said it was orange & purple. And he said he prefer blue. He would like to know more about Chinese GongGu , I said I couldn’t but I could perform some Chinese boxing---Taiji , only 3 positions I could and I showed him all. At once I had 5 students including his mother & father. I wrote their name in both Spanish and Chinese on sand land by a chop. He told me the name of his dog and I introduced to him my daughter. I almost forgot that I ever learned some Spanish years ago---it was great to remember that at this moment. His father asked me when we finally said good-bye to the whole family: how can I manage to talk with his son? I replied him that King Kong as a monkey can communicate with a woman why I can’t communicate with a Chilean?
It cost me quite some days to get used to their way of greetings when people firstly meet each other----kiss face to face-----fortunately not mouth to mouth.
Sofia, 5 years old, the youngest girl of the family, attracted by her beauty I took off my amber necklace as a gift to her. She was the princess, she was Barbie, and she was a dog. She replied everybody with a squeak “NO”, I think she is very shy, at last she spoke something to me: how to say pee pee in English?
