Well, in the last 3 weeks, I have been searching my memories for some childhood fantasies. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything even close to be a fantasy. I guess I was just not a fanciful kid. Sad! I do have some childhood stories though. After all I was a child once, right? 

When I was a child, I loved outdoors (by the way, I still do, very much so). Usually during the day, when I was not at school, I would be somewhere in the moutains or in the river. 

I grew up in a beautiful small village. Continous mountain ranges lie behind the village, and a river in front of the village stretches across more than a hundred meters wide. 

It can get very hot in summer where I grew up. In those hot summer days, the best outoor place no doubt was the river. I sometimes spent all day in the river with my friends, splashing water, catching fish, riding a water buffalo, and chasing crabs.

On the river bank, grew a lot of willow trees and bambooes. Some willow trees grew right at the edge of the water. Some of their roots were exposed to the water. The tiny string like roots swayed in the water. They formed small  pocekets where small fish loved to hide. 

My friends and I would try to corner fish into the pockets and then use a basket or a fishing net to close the opening of the pockets. So when the fish tried to come out from the pockets, they got into our baskets. Yay, we got them!

It was such an excitment whenever we caught a fish. Still a lot of times, fish outsmarted us and ran away even after we got them into a pocket. And sometimes, they even got away from our basket. They are really slippery and they can jump!

We often went mud loach (or pond loach) catching too. Usually after a rain in summer, there were a lot of them in the mud at the edge of the fields, or a pond. Mud loaches are very slippery and wiggly. Quite often to catch them we had to wretsle with them in mud.

You see, at the age when BeautifulWind discovered her odd number formular, I was still wrestling in mud! That's the difference from the get-go! :)

Anyways, all things considered, I had a happy and fun childhood. I'll always miss those care-free days and the happy times I had.

 

 

 

Mud Loach Catching

 

The pond is full, filled with water

Rain has stopped.

In the mud at the edge of the fields

are loaches slithering all around.

I have been waiting for you every day,

Waiting for you to take me to catch loaches.

O, my big brother, 

Would you take me to catch loaches?

Xiao Niu's big brother took her loach catching.

O, my big brother

Would you take me to catch loaches?

A very interesting story of a happy-go-lucky kid.

Nicely done.  Thanks for sharing.

好听好听,我听过一个英文填词,为了押韵,loach变成了eel, 就两句field, eel颠过来倒过去

对泥鳅有劲使不出,使劲抓怕跑了,愣从我手指间挤出去,off it went down the drain

off it went down the drain

见过朋友收拾泥鳅场面蔚为壮观,锅里全是活泥鳅,撒一把盐进立刻盖上盖子,里面立刻疾风暴雨飞沙走石之动静,须臾

就安静了,估计泥鳅很容易脱水,然后打开锅盖泥鳅虽然还活着但都不挣扎了,可以一个一个轻松清理干净

呜呜。。。

 

可怜啊

为了食物残杀动物, 一直让我心痛

可是我不吃肉只能熬半天.  要文明屠宰 就好, 不要放血, 有些取得残酷的器官,就不要取, 我就一直怀疑牛鞭

会很残酷获得, 不敢查.  坚决不吃这些, 包括血,  放血延长了痛苦.

谢谢美风!你赞美别人从来不吝啬~~~ 能力有限,做不到完美。尽力而已:)
甜虫虫
Thank you so much! You're absolutely right!

I think the last one is OK though because they are not in the same sentence. I often make mistakes too, and need someone like you to correct me. :) Thank you very much for pointing them out. I corrected the first two.
