保护家园

          天有些阴，大海退潮。漫步在海滩上，一个六七岁的小女孩表情严肃地从我面前跑过，蹲到地上。一看，原来是她在沙上砌了小房子：石基，木棒搭的房架，里面两个巴掌大小的小人。小女孩嘴里念念有词，安慰两个小人。

          退潮后的沙滩上水草很多，有人在悠闲地沿着海岸线走。成群的海鸥、乌鸦在觅食。一只灰鹤贴着地面飞翔，另几只灰鹤优雅地踱步。两个穿碎花的男子在电动脚踏车上开过鲜花小屋，相映成趣。是一个美丽的清晨。

         

Guarding Home

          On a cloudy day, the tide ebbed. I strode on the beach when a girl around 6 or 7 years old rushed by me. With serious expression on her face, she then squatted on the beach. It seemed that she had built a house there with a pebble base and wood stick frame. Two dolls about the size of a palm sat in the house. The little girl comforted the two dolls in soft voice for prevented possible disruption from my blindness of their location.

          There was so much sea weed on the beach. A man walked along the edge of the sea with measured steps in leisure. Flocks of seagull and crow were chasing their food. A blue heron flew over, almost touching the ocean. Several other blue herons walked around casually and elegantly. Two men passed by on scooters. Their shirts in floral patterns were almost indistinguishable from the houses covered by flowers. It was a beautiful morning.
