The warm house of the squirrel
The winter wind is blowing, and it hurts like a small knife cutting into your face. The mother squirrel is going to give birth to her baby, but she has not found a place to shelter from the wind. Squirrel's father is very anxious, he jumped around in the trees, trying to find a warm cave, looking for ah ah, the cave is full of animals, he did not find an empty hole.

Four brothers eating fruit
A long time ago, there was a brocade chicken, a rabbit, a monkey, and an elephant, and they were sworn, brothers. Because of their ability to fly, the rooster once flew up to the 33rd heaven and brought in a seed of a fruit tree. This seed is an immortal seed, which grows into a tree and bears fruit all year round.

Forest Transformer
A long time ago, in the days when mankind could not preserve fire, there was a hunter whose wife's little brother begged to go hunting with him. When they came to a forest, they saw a macaw's nest in a tree on the edge of a cliff, and the hunter asked his wife's brother to climb the branch to pull out the chicks.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." The sentence was the fourth or fifth of its kind that I'd received and archived within a few weeks' time -- indirect or roundabout references to old science fiction classics. It was delivered to me by a startling old woman who'd sat herself down on the bench I occupied while waiting for the afternoon express into the old city. She was carrying a large sea green snakeskin handbag that had an over-the-top clasp of golden entwined serpents. A big silvery hairstyle that surrounded her face like an elaborate wire nest. Bulging wrap-around sunglasses that seemed too large for her face.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." I hate to break it to everyone reading this, but that fact is most certainly wrong. Let me explain. Very few people can say they've been to space, I happen to be one of those people who can say that. My name is Reed, I'm here to share my story. I hope this doesn't deter you from space, but I need to share my first hand experience in space. This story takes place about 6 months ago when I got a call from an old friend.
