Full text***Nine natural paragraphs depict vivid pictures. First, it describes the flowers dancing and reveling on the green grass when the showers fall; then it imagines people doing homework behind closed doors. The flowers take a vacation as soon as the rain comes; then imagine them wearing all kinds of clothes and rushing out in the rain; finally imagine the flower children rushing home and raising their arms to their mother.
The pictures are closely connected and integrated. The text has rich and peculiar imagination, full of children's interest, and is endowed with the behaviors of thunder clouds, east wind, flowers and other people. The growth characteristics of flowers are cleverly combined with the students' study and life, and the scenes blend together, allowing us to see a group of flower children who pursue freedom and yearn for nature.
