“What’s wrong,Carina?”Collin asked.“Homesick again?”
His sister nodded.
“Yeah,me too.”Collin sighed(叹息).
Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago.The new place was houd inside a huge transparent dome(透明的圆屋顶).It still didn't feel like home.
“I miss my friends,”Carina said sadly.“And green grass and swimming,and everything.I even miss the sound of rain on the roof(屋顶).”
“Worst of all,”Carina continued,“my birthday is in two days,and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special.They're too busy.”
“She's probably right,”thought Collin.Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents.He doubted if they had time to plan a party.And how could they anyway?Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn’t exist here.They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake.
“Don’t worry.”Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder.
Collin walked toward the agricultural center,where his mom worked.He found her taking notes on some tall tube-like plants.
“What are tho?”he asked.
“Bamboo plants,”said Mom.“They’re strong and grow fast.They make good building materials.”
“May I have a piece?”
“Sure.”Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook.
The next day,Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails(钉子)into each hole.He poured a handful of pebbles(鹅卵石)inside and covered the open ends.
