The Beauty of Childhood

The rice in Great Maple Village was also ripe. The villagers stood under the layers of terraces and looked at the layers of golden rice fields on the mountain with tears of excitement. Uncle Gu shouted at everyone, "Fellow villagers, we have food to eat."

Everyone laughed. "Haha! We have food to eat too."

"Oh! There's white rice to eat!" The children also jumped up happily.

Father Gu looked at the jumping children and wiped his tears. He smiled and patted Uncle Gu. He waved his hand and shouted at the villagers, "Everyone, hurry up and do it! Hurry up and take the rice home to dry while the weather is clear. Hurry up and return the rice that you owe to the owner of the rice house."

"Alright! Let's collect the rice!" Everyone climbed onto the terraces and got busy.
