Original text of the work
A drop of water wants to find itself among poets, essayists and philosophers. Because it often hears other drops of water talking about this matter, saying that only poets, essayists and philosophers understand a drop of water best.
Ah... As soon as a drop of water sees the word "ah", it knows that it has found a poet. "Ah, a drop of water also shines with the brilliance of the sun." How good this is, a drop of water has such a great ability, the brilliance of the sun! What a great drop of water! A drop of water also used the word "ah" when sighing about itself. When a drop of water thinks that it is also the sun, it has a kind of genius sadness: the sun in the sky is too proud, as if it is the only sun in the world, no, there is another one, and there is "a sun shining with the brilliance of the sun" dripping water”. In order to let the sun know this as soon as possible, a drop of water lay on the tip of the tallest grass leaf early, waiting for the sun to rise from the horizon. The sun rises, and in an instant, a drop of water shines with colorful light. real! A drop of water shouted excitedly to the sun: "Hey, brother Sun, have you seen me? I am also a luminous one..." Before a drop of water could finish speaking, it turned into a ray of light in the neon light of the sun. The energy disappeared without a trace.
A drop of water’s effort to find himself failed. But it knows a fact, don't look to poets for answers. Or is the essayist's words true? What did the essayist say? That is a well-known saying: "A drop of water wears away a stone." It is more real and weighty, and it is definitely different from pretending to be the sun among the grass tips and flowers. It seems that poets always find the colorful definition in flowers and plants, while essayists always write words that are as accurate as gold and stone that can penetrate the back of the paper. Thinking of this, a drop of water was already hanging on the top of the cliff. It was about to drip. Seeing the huge stone below, it felt infinite pride in its heart: "I'm sorry, Brother Stone!" In an instant, it dripped. On the stone, a drop of water splashed. In the dizziness, I didn't forget to take a look at the stone. Oh my god, it stood there motionless. After hitting a wall, a drop of water went to the essayist to question him. The essayist said: "You only saw the four words 'a drop of water penetrates the stone'. That was the title of my article. What line of content did you not read?" 'It turns out that the article is here, say a drop of water. Another drop of water will penetrate the stone after thousands of years. sky! That's not a drop of water, it's a river. One drop per second, 86,400 drops of water per day, 31,536,000 drops of water per year, how many thousands of years is there? Can this be called a drop of water piercing the stone? A drop of water felt that essayists really didn't understand numbers: "Now I know what an essayist is, someone who doesn't study mathematics."
Finally, a drop of water went to find a philosopher. The philosopher said: You can see the ocean through a drop of water, and a drop of water is an ocean. "What is the sea?" A drop of water felt that philosophers were indeed very knowledgeable, but they had to know what the sea was before they could know what they were. So a drop of water walked a long way, asking along the way: "Where is the sea?" The two drops of water looking for the sea became a stream. , became a river, and became a river heading east. When it saw the sea, it knew that the philosopher had said the opposite again. Isn't it? "There are countless drops of water in the sea, and a drop of water is nothing without the sea. It is nothing, just a drop of water!"
Thinking of this, a drop of water understood, and it finally found itself. What is a drop of water? "It's not the sun, even if it shines sometimes; it's not a sharp weapon that can penetrate rocks. Maybe a certain drop of water has this luck; and it's not even the sea. The sea is a place where all drops of water forget themselves. A drop of water is either the sun, a stone, or the sea, or a drop of water. "It's just water."
