1, "After the Rain"? Author: Bing Xin
The tender green treetops glittered with golden light, and the square became an ocean!
A group of barefoot children in the water were as happy as if they were gods.
Little brother stepped hard on the water, splashing me high.
He shouted, "Sis, watch out, slippery!"
Saying this he slipped himself!
He patted his watery, muddy pants and mouthed, "Crap - crap!"
And his red, jubilant face radiated excitement and pride.
Little sister, pouting with two short, stubby pigtails, followed closely behind the muddy pants.
She bit her lip, lifted her skirt, and ran gently and carefully.
In her heart, she wished she, too, had fallen so hard!
2. The Heart of a Child? By Zhang Ren
The heart of a child is a clear stream.
Visible at the bottom of that water, smooth stones.
Visible in that water, swimming small fish.
The heart of a child, is clear glass.
What is on the other side, can be seen clearly.
It is as if there is no such thing as isolation.
Wish people's hearts were always clear streams.
Wish people's hearts could always be that transparent glass.
3. "Child's Play"? Author: Bamboo Leaf Clear
Play in the field, child.
In the field will be like a dancing and singing bird, free to run wild.
Walking on the road in the field, hands cupped the dust and threw it up to the sky, and the earth seemed to get a new lease of life and flew away happily.
Don't play too freely, be careful to get your clothes dirty and get a slap on the wrist.
Pick a few bunches of beautiful colorful wildflowers, weave it into a garland, put it on your head, look at each other, look at each other and smile.
Pick a few ripe dandelions, put them in the palm of your hand to feel their soft texture, and blow on them to let their seeds fly with your childhood dreams.
Climb up a tree, sit on a branch, and sing your favorite children's songs.
Break a few twigs, make a small musical instrument, and blow out a simple tone of voice to enjoy yourself.
The tone of the voice implies freedom and carefree.
Pull aside the grass and wheat, catch a few grasshoppers and crickets, and listen to their pleasant song. I'm going to take out a few partridge eggs, cook them and eat them, taste them, the refreshing wild flavor.
The apricots in the orchard are ripe, the color is really attractive, gold.
The flavor is even more gluttonous, a few little friends to steal to eat, do not let the master see.
4, "If I were a snowflake" by Jin Bo
If I were a snowflake, where would I float down?
Float down to the river, become -drops of water, and play with the little fishes and shrimps.
Drift to the square, to build a snowman, look at you and smile.
Kiss her and melt away happily.
5. "I really want to become a big lotus leaf" by Anonymous
Summer is here, and summer is a young lady.
She asked me enthusiastically: what do you want to change?
I would like to become a transparent raindrop and sleep on a green leaf.
I would like to become a small fish and swim into a clear river.
I would like to be a butterfly, traveling through the flowers.
I want to be a grasshopper and sing about our lives.
I want to be a winking star, I want to be a curved crescent moon.
Finally, I saw a small lotus pond, and I wanted to be a big lotus leaf.
The lotus leaves were like a big umbrella, quietly held up in the lotus pond.
The little fish came and played under the lotus leaves, and the raindrops came and sang on the lotus leaves.
