Last night, I had a strange dream. In the dream, I dropped into a deep hole under an old tree and was lost in a wonderland. I wandered about and didn’t know where to go. It was a very magical world with a large number of suns. However, I didn’t feel a little hot and I could e many various beautiful birds were flying happily in the sky. It was amazing that a lot of them were unknown to me. What’s more, the sky was full of much fresh air with a flowerlike aroma. On the land, plenty of huge and fantastic flower trees stretched to the remote horizon. And a large amount of blue and pink water spotted with a little small green grass was surrounding them. Of cour, there were all kinds of small animals living in the trees and water. In fact, I could know only a few of them. In the end, I found a big city made of huge stones. A good many humans lived in it, but they were so tall and big that they didn’t e me at all. What a crazy dream！
