20211024 Fairy Tale The Little Fox's Tale 05: Pine Trees

author:Shizuya Thoughts

The little fox lives on a mountain range. On the western side of the mountain range, there is a overhanging rock cliff, very steep. Large swaths of rock were exposed, but there was an old pine tree. The old pine trees grew diagonally between the rocks, without any companions, not even a single large shrub.

Hongyan said that there are also a few pine trees growing on the cliffs in the Southern Huangshan Mountains, because it is very rare, and many people come to see them every day. But this pine tree did not grow in the Huangshan Mountains, but only grew silently on this cliff, so no one came to see him. However, the scenery of this cliff is excellent, so the little fox often comes here and slowly becomes familiar with the pine trees.

There are many trees taller than old pine trees in the mountains, but in such rocky thickets, they grow out of nowhere.

The little fox asked the old pine, "Old pine, how old are you?"

The old pine tree smiled, "Spring to autumn, a thousand years." ”

The little fox was surprised, "There is neither fertile soil nor a small stream here, how can you persist for a thousand years?" ”

The old pine tree laughed, "Isn't it impossible to live a good life without soil and water?" Nine hundred years ago, I did not have the shrubs in the mountains from high, and every day there was only morning dew and rain on rainy days. Wu Bai years ago, I was only a few years old trees tall, every day only morning dew and rain on rainy days, didn't this grow? Now that I am a thousand years old, or is there only morning dew and rain on rainy days every day, doesn't this grow? Isn't that how life goes on day by day, day by day? Since I am a pine tree, a pine tree on a cliff, I will live a good life as a pine tree on a cliff. ”

The little fox listened thoughtfully, and he was determined to live the life of a little fox on the mountain.
