The Cradle of Our Ancestors
Grandpa said that the primeval forest is the cradle of our ancestors. How interesting, what a big cradle this must be! The thick green shade of the trees stretches as far as the eye can see, covering the blue sky. I wonder, did our ancestors ever pick wild fruits and dig out magpie eggs from these big trees? Have you ever raced with hares on that grass and watched mushrooms holding umbrellas? At that time, were the children also playing with the squirrels and picking wild roses here? Have you ever caught red dragonflies and green grasshoppers here? The wind blows the leaves, "rustling, rustling!" That memory is so beautiful, yet so far away...
Ah, the ancient primeval forest, the cradle of our ancestors.
