What is the next sentence of "I want to catch cicadas"?

The next sentence was suddenly silent. This poem comes from a five-character quatrain "What I See" written by Yuan Mei, a writer in Qing Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:

Cowboys ride on the backs of oxen, and songs echo in the forest.

Suddenly want to catch the song of the tree, immediately stop singing and stand by the tree silently.

In the vernacular, it is: the children herding cattle ride on the backs of cattle, and the loud songs echo in the forest. Suddenly, I wanted to catch the cicada in singing in the trees, so I stopped singing and stood quietly by the tree.

On the trip, the poet saw a shepherd boy singing on a cow. Suddenly he heard the sound of cicada, so he stopped singing and jumped down from the cow's back to catch cicada. The author happened to see a little thing, so it was named "What I saw". Through the description of the changes of the shepherd boy's movements and demeanor, it shows the shepherd boy's innocent and lively, witty and flexible character and love for nature.
