A long time ago, there were no mountains, no trees, nothing, only a sea, an endless sea.”?

???? "Isn't even an old man?" asked the squirrel.?

???? "Haha, no, not even the grandfather's grandfather." The old tree said, "When I just grew out of the field, oh, that was very far away. That day was already three hundred feet long from me. I used to be a seed, once a seedling, not half the height of the leaves..." The old tree fell into a long memory, "Which year was that? My annual rings were nine hundred times. When I was just born, who were around me?"?

???? "Is there me?" the squirrel asked loudly.?

???? "Don't interrupt Xiaodeo, you were still a seed at that time." said Fruit Bear.?

???? "Do I grow from the ground too? Oh, why don't I have leaves?" The squirrel spread out his claws and said sadly.

???? "But you can get rid of the mud and run freely. I envy you too." Lao Shu said.?

???? "But I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to listen to Grandpa Lao Shu tells stories."?

???? "But what I see is limited. Over the years, I have been growing more to see more things, but things outside my vision are always infinite. I finally felt tired and could not grow any more. At that time, you have been to many places in the little squirrel and saw many scenery that I will never see. At that time, will you come back and tell me what you see?"

???? "Yes, sure!" the squirrel said, "I will travel every day and tell you what I see."?

???? "Haha, you will grow up and go further and further away. Finally, I can't come back every day..." Lao Shu pondered again, "How much do I want to see the sea? Every year, the feathers of seabirds fall, bringing the breath of the ocean..."?

???? "The sea? Where is it?"?

???? "I heard that if you climb to the highest place in this land, you will know what the world is like."?

???? "I'll go now!"?

"Father, wait for me." The wombat and the flying pig were chirping, but the squirrel had disappeared between the huge branches.?

?????So the squirrel began her long running, she climbed down the huge green tree. She ran in the shade of the green tree, she had never run out there, it was their kingdom. Under the shade, there were star grass, orchids, wild green ones, and countless flowers, plants and insects. They were always busy, but butterflies were busy talking a lot, and he flew up and down and joked with every flower. The snail was busy climbing the tree again, but he always had no perseverance. Whenever he climbed to as high as a gladiolus, he would stop to have fun.

He talked to her excitedly, and then slid down without realizing it. When he slid to the end, the day would pass. He would climb up again the next day. Gladiola always raised his proud head and said that he was annoyed. But every morning when she woke up, she still raised her head and waited for the 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 can I practice climbing twenty rounds and rounds a day like a squirrel deer? Then I can chat with Gladiola twenty times a day."

?????The squirrel ran out of the shadow of the big green tree. She found that the world was composed of countless shadows. There was a shining boundary between shadows. She was jumping in the shadows. She was surprised and panicked in the strange vision, and her heart was like the light and shadows intertwined. Countless lights shone over the forest, swaying, making people dazzling.

????She chose a direction and ran down.?

?????Squirrel felt that she had run thousands of miles. She ran more today than she had in her life. Of course, she was only eleven months old.?

???? "I should be running to the end of the world. How far have I run? Where is the boundary?" She stopped and asked the fine red fruit on the roadside, "Where is the boundary of the world?"

???? "Border? Here is the center of the world, where did you come from?"?

???? "What? I am the center of the world. I came from the big green tree and ran such a long way."?

???? "The big green tree? Is it that big green tree?"

????? As soon as the squirrel turned around, she saw a nine hundred-year-old tree standing above the layers of tree canopy, as if she was still at his feet.?

?????The squirrel has seen it, and the strange stone peak has grown from the earth like a tree, but it is so tall, how many years has it grown??

???? "Stand on that, you can see the boundaries of the world."?

?????She ran towards the foot of the mountain and gradually became a small dot that could be seen clearly beside the towering stone peak.?

?????The squirrel finally climbed to the peak. She came to the edge of the cliff. The green clouds dispersed, and the giant trees turned into grass. Outside the forest, there was a golden band surrounding her. She raised her head higher and looked into the distance. Suddenly, the boundless blue surging towards her.?

???? That's... the sea. I heard its sound. Hu-hu---like the sound of the wind at night, it is breathing!?

?????She cheered and jumped, and suddenly found that there was no one in the place where she stood.?

???? "Has no one been here? Has no one seen the scenery I have seen? Who am I going to tell me about my happiness? Does anyone know?" Her voice swept away from the top of the peak and dissipated in the mist.?

????The top of the mountain is empty, with only a 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 will put it here??

???? "Stone, why are you standing here alone?"?

???? "Are you listening to the sound of the sea?"

???? "How long have you been here? Aren't you bored if no one talks to you?" The squirrel turned around the stone, but the stone didn't speak.?

???? The squirrel put her face on the stone, as if she was listening carefully. After a long time, she slowly stepped back, tiptoing as if she was afraid of something being alarmed.

"Who am I?" They sat on a big green tree to enjoy the cool air, Shi Tou said.?

???? "You are a stone." The squirrel lowered his head and scratched his paws.?

???? "Aren't I a monkey?"

????"yes?"?

???? "But there are many monkeys in this world. Are they all me?"

???? "Well..." The squirrel thought seriously, "I only know that there are many squirrels in this world, but they are not me. I don't know about monkeys."?

???? "Yes, I'm not them. They are all together, but I'm here." Shihou lowered his head and said.?

???? "Don't they play with you? Why?"

???? "Because I am different from them. But although I came from a stone, I am 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 to jump long. I can only be a squirrel at the moment."?

???? "I don't remember myself when I'm with them, but I often stop for no reason and find them running while I don't move, so I'm very scared."?

???? "You are afraid that you have found yourself?" a voice said.?
