The turtle is a thinking turtle that is born different from other turtles. When it bursts its shell, its big head is exploring what this future world will be like.

"Oh dear, come out quickly! Your brother and sister have already come out! The mother turtle called to it tenderly outside the shell.

"Life is so long, why be in such a hurry?" The turtle lazily stuck its head out. Turtles and tortoises seem to be born with memories, and in the tortoise's memory, tortoises are the longest-lived animals in the world. When it was still in the warm eggshell, it fantasized about what kind of turtle it would be when it came into the world, but before it could figure it out, the eggshell broke, and a warm beam of sunlight shone into the eggshell.

"Is this coming to the world?" Turtle asked suspiciously.

"Yes, dear, this is the world, this is your home, and your brothers and sisters."

With the help of its mother, the turtle finally managed to squeeze out the eggshell, its head was too big, and its body was too thin, so it walked a little unsteadily.

It originally thought that the world should be a blue sky, a vast and boundless sea, and a huge family of turtles occupying the ocean beaches, bathing in the sun and sea. But the world here is too small, a water tank of less than five square meters, the sun shines on the shallow sand pile at the bottom of the water, and the brothers and sisters are crowded into this small space for a leisurely walk.

The turtle probed with sparkling eyes, and there was something interesting outside the tank. It is rare for the mother to see the newborn child's eyes so bright, and happily said to the turtle father:

"I knew I was going to give birth to the smartest child in the world, and you see how bright his eyes are! Just like the stars in the sky! ”

"Every child is born, you say that!" Dad shrugged.

"Stars? What is the star like, and can I meet him? "The turtle is very happy, and his mother praises her eyes for being like stars, so the stars must be very smart, and maybe she can make friends with them.

"Dear tortoise, you'll be able to see it when night comes!" Mom replied to it gently.

"Oh, grandpa, look, the last turtle is out of the shell too!" A little boy in a wheelchair took his grandfather's hand to the balcony with a bag of beautiful pebbles in his hand. For these newborn baby turtles, the little boy waited for two months, from the hot summer to the cool autumn.

The little boy laid the beautiful pebbles at the bottom of the tank, and for the sake of these new members, he deliberately changed to a larger tank not long ago.

"Smile, put this ladder in it, and when the turtles are older, you can climb up and bask in the sun!" Grandpa handed the boy a small golden escalator with a slide, and the boy inserted it into a card slot at the bottom of the tank, just right, and the ladder just protruded from the mouth of the tank.

The little boy likes to raise turtles, his grandfather is a skilled craftsman, and he has more and more turtles at home, and he will design all kinds of gadgets for these turtles to facilitate their activities, such as airships, racing cars, swings, castles, and balconies, and he also raises a lot of white and fat silkworms as feed for the turtles.

"Welcome to your new home!" Xiaoxiao scooped the turtle out of the water and threw it down the slide, and the turtle quickly put its head into the shell and rolled into the water.

Xiaoxiao tossed several times like this, and the turtle fell into the water in embarrassment every time.

The turtle was very angry when he was teased like this, and when he was about to have a seizure, Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, looked at it with a pair of melancholy eyes, and said:

"Little tortoise, don't you like to play? Life here is so boring, if only I could go out and see the world! ”

When the little turtle heard the word "world", it forgot to be angry, it stretched its neck, stared at its round eyes and asked:

"Isn't this the world?"

Xiaoxiao seemed to hear the turtle's question, as if to say to it, and as if to say to herself:

"This is only a part of the world, the world is as big as the sky, there are countless stars in the sky, there is a blue sea under the sky, there are golden deserts, there are mysterious forests, there are boundless..."

Night fell, the sunset was like fire, reflecting the sky, and Xiaoxiao was pushed into the house by her grandfather.

"Look, the sun is setting, the moon is rising, and the stars are about to come out." Mom shouted as she pointed to the sky.

The turtle climbed onto his father's back, stretched his neck to look at the moon gradually rising in the sky, and the twinkling stars hung all over the sky, thinking about what he said with a smile, and asked:

"Dad, how big is the sky?"

"No one knows how big the sky is! You see, there are so many stars, arranged in the sky, not crowded at all, they are as big as the earth, and some are even bigger than the earth! ”

The turtle smacked his tongue and said incredulously, "But they look so small!" ”

"That's because they're so far away, so they greet us with light! Yes, light is the way to greet the planets! ”

Father Turtle always mixes his imagination with reality, but Turtle Turtle likes to listen to it, and Turtle Turtle thinks that there must be many turtle species like him on a distant planet, or humans like Xiaoxiao or some other species, and he also wants to know more about the secrets of the world:

"Can we go to the planet then?"

But the mother interrupted it:

"Okay, don't think about it, such a distant planet is not something we turtles can climb on!"

"That's not necessarily, the most talented young man of our turtle tribe, the Himalayas, climbed the highest mountain on the earth, the Himalayas, and I heard that it was from there that he went to the moon." Daddy Turtle is like a tongue twister.

"That is, a young man named Himalayan climbed the Himalayas?" The turtle thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out.

But the mother was a little impatient, and she took the turtle off her father's back, and sighed towards the moon that was bent like a hook:

"What's there to do on the planet? The moon looks bright, but it is actually very cold, and there is only one fairy Chang'e and her jade rabbit guarding the moon. The Himalayas climbed the highest mountain and climbed to the moon, but I heard that he fell from the moon and fell to the bottom of the cliff, and some say that he fell into the sea and never came back! ”

"My dear, Fairy Chang'e is a myth, not a fact!" Dad pointed out the fallacy in Mother Turtle's words.

Unconvinced, my mother replied, "The Himalayas are just a legend, and no one has ever really seen it." In any case, it is a fact that the moon is very far away and cold, and even if there is a Himalayan turtle, isn't it lonely to leave its family to go to the moon so far away? ”

Although the turtle still didn't understand the meaning of some words, such as cliffs, such as pets, such as loneliness, he thought of something more meaningful, how did the turtle named Himalayas climb onto the moon? Can the hook-like moon sit on it, and does the Himalayas slip down while sleeping on it?

Thinking about it, the turtle fell asleep.
