The three children were so captivated by what they saw that they had completely lost sight of the purpose, and fell silent in it, looking around and rushing to the shock of this wonderful spectacle. Constant fascination, admiration. Stopping to watch, they gradually approached the edge of the hill as if they were lost. Near, closer...... Suddenly, one of the boys cried out as if he had broken free from some restraint, for he noticed flakes of crystalline matter in the cracks in the rocks. Yes, that's the thing, the long-awaited thing.

"Found it, found it!" The boy shouted. His shouts "woke up" his companion, as if he had woken up from a dream, and he was immediately excited. The three children were ecstatic and excited. For the sake of that thought, they were able to make it happen by their own efforts, although they did not know what it was, what it was used for, how it was formed, what it was called, it seemed that it did not matter to them, the important thing was that it could be thickened when heated, and that was magical, and that was enough.

The three children could not hold back the ecstasy in their hearts, and they rushed forward frantically, as if they had discovered a rare treasure. Small hands, carefully dug out, although the number was very scarce, and buried in it, the three of them did not let up at all, but only dug with the greatest strength. For a long time, everyone was silent in excitement and crazy digging, and they forgot everything. Because it is unevenly distributed, it is only a sporadic flake, and the area is too small, everyone has to run around, climb up and slide down, and a little bit of deduction. Even so, they didn't feel tired at all, or even give up. I don't know how long it took, but everyone had some in their pockets, but they were not satisfied, and they were eager to dig everything back into the cracks, and they had no intention of stopping.

By this time, it was getting dark, and when they found out about it, they became anxious. They realized that they should go home and must rush back as soon as possible, otherwise they dare not imagine the consequences. This is something they cannot ignore. The three children did not slack off, and hurriedly acted, helplessly abandoning the work at hand, and slid towards the hillside with a rolling belt, patted the dust on their bodies, and walked in the direction they came. They didn't think much about it, they just looked back at the slopes and rocks far away from them as much as they could, and they sighed. It is impossible to keep and cherish this rare harvest.

With the mark they came, it was much easier to return, and that was perhaps something they could be proud of. They walked much faster, but everyone picked up their pace and even trotted. Along the way, there was basically no verbal communication with each other, because everyone was very anxious, and they knew the problems they were facing very well, thinking that they were just rushing to the road.

By the edge of the village, it was already dark. The sky is already dotted with grains and stars. At this moment, the three children were already panting and out of breath. When I saw the entrance of the village, I slowed down and slowly stopped. One of the boys looked at the long-awaited thing in his hand, and although his vision was a little blurry and he couldn't see it clearly, he smiled with satisfaction and felt satisfied. What he has is happiness to gain.

While being happy and secretly rejoicing, he couldn't help but look up at the night sky at this time. He shifted his steps and stared. Look at the twinkling stars and the distance between them. It was as if he had been inspired like never before. Or outlining the distances between the stars, which seem to echo the ever-changing distances of footsteps and roads. But his young mind could not perceive it. But he still had a sense of distance in his mind. Perhaps because of the darkness, he was amazed at how big his surroundings were, how vast the sky was, and how far away the stars seemed to be.

He wanted to close the distance between the stars in the night sky. His voice was a little depressed, and he said with deep emotion: "Where are the stars in the sky? How far away are the stars? Out of the sky? What would it be like outside that day? "Yes, what will it be like outside the sky? What's out there? The other boy continued.

The boy at the end seemed dissatisfied with their question, and replied eagerly, "I have heard that outside of the sky is the universe. The earth we live in, the sun, the moon, and so many stars we see are in the universe. What the universe will be like, we have no way of knowing. ”

Without waiting for his companion to reverie, the boy continued: "Imagine that the village we are in now is so big, what about that area? And how vast the whole world must be! But the earth is just a drop in the ocean in the universe, like a grain of rice compared to a basketball. My dad told me that I didn't have to pay attention to it, just get to know it, because it's so far away from us. ”

In an instant, the three children fell into deep thought, and there were no words for each other. There was silence all around, only the sound of weak footsteps, but all this could not suppress the excitement of a person. The boy lowered his head, withdrew his gaze from stargazing, and stared at the flake he had found in his hand.

Maybe they don't think the same thing, but the three of them have to face the same problem: their parents at home must be very anxious to find them now, and they will definitely be reproached by their parents when they go back. At this time, he couldn't see the piece clearly, and he didn't care if he would be blamed or even scolded by his parents when he went home. None of that seems to matter anymore. Now he was deeply attracted by what he had just experienced. What he saw, heard, and thought seemed to have been brought into the world of weaving by his companions. Although he didn't know anything about the unknown world, he had only heard about it, but it deepened his interest and his desire to learn.

It was a sleepless night. When he returned home, despite the abuse he received from his parents, he felt that he had gained a lot and that it was nothing compared to it, so he quietly hid his heart and did not tell anyone. When he slept at night, he covered his head under the quilt and felt that he was unusually excited, clear, and continued to be. I always think back to what my partner told him, and I have an endless aftertaste.

He was a little ignorant, as if he had instilled some elusive knowledge in him. This may be misinformation, and it seems that one of his children should not have been aware of it. What kind of astronomical knowledge it was, he couldn't imagine and couldn't imagine. After all, he didn't know what it was, what it meant to him, what it meant to him, and whether it would be like that. Even after many years, when he had dreamed of what it was called quartz and where it came from, he was sure that he was not just curious, perhaps knowing what it meant to him, or more.
