In the small town of Cocoa, there is a tall white ivory tower where an old man and a little girl live.
Every morning, the old man will climb the ivory tower, pull the moon down from the sky and hang the sun.
People saw the sun in the sky, and a day began in Coco Town.
The old man's granddaughter has a silver hair that falls like a waterfall on her thin shoulders and hangs down to her slender ankles.
She always blinked her big black eyes and lay on the high ivory tower, watching the people in the town working in the fields, studying in the classroom and kissing on the bench.
She just looked at it and didn't know when she fell asleep. When she was awakened by her grandfather, she found that the moon had risen. She rubbed her eyes and followed him home.
I can't sleep at night because I sleep too much during the day. After lying in bed with eyes open for an hour, the little girl ran out while grandpa was not looking.

The moon is particularly bright tonight, and the silver moonlight shines on the ground like a layer of broken silver.
The little girl walked slowly along this familiar and unfamiliar path, and her big eyes looked around curiously.
Attic, small trees, schools, benches, fields ... Unlike the hustle and bustle during the day, the town at night is quiet and peaceful.
Walking, she found a thin figure sitting on a bench not far away. It's a little boy.
A boy with long eyelashes looked up at the moon in the sky and did not move.
This girl is strange. Everyone in Coco Town should be sleeping by now. How can such a small boy sit on the bench?
"See? That's my hometown. " The little boy seemed to perceive her appearance and spoke first.
"Hometown? Do you mean the moon? " The little girl blinked and asked.
"Yes, that's my hometown." The little boy still hasn't taken his eyes off the moon. "I used to live on the moon, with a fluorescent forest, a sea wrapped in starry sky and a huge blue whale."
"There is a sulfuric acid lake in the fluorescent forest, which is soaked with the bodies of various animals."
"There are dazzling stars on the sea, and the light spots will rise on the sea."
"There is a meadow with colorful flowers and a fruit tree on the back of the blue whale."
That night, the girl sat next to the boy, listening to all kinds of stories that the boy told her that she had never heard before.
It was not until grandpa got up and the sun was about to rise that the little boy got up and said, "Let's call it a day. I should go home. "
The little girl also got up and went back to the white ivory tower, lying in bed, recalling the story of her hometown told by the boy and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, grandpa had already raised the moon. The little girl rubbed her eyes and suddenly remembered something. She put on her shoes and clothes and ran to the bench in town.
Sure enough, the little boy is still sitting where he was yesterday, looking up at the moon.
"Life on the moon is lonely until ..."
"Later, I had a friend." The little boy paused. "She has cat's ears, but her tail is a small ball like a rabbit. She has silvery white hair and her eyes are as crystal clear as black gems. "
"She has been to many places and heard that there are many satellites in the world. She came running from a blue moon. She said she was looking for her master. Her master is a manager, managing the sun and the moon. "
"She is lazy and doesn't like to move. She often squats all day, curled up into a small ball. Only a pair of black eyes keep turning, and her little head is empty, thinking nothing. "
"She said she wouldn't stay here for long, and she had to find her master."
Later, when the little girl returned to the white ivory tower, she lay in bed and had a long dream.
In the dream, the little boy asked with tears, "When shall we meet again?"
As agreed, on the third night, the little girl came to the bench again.
She looked at the quiet side face of the little boy, and a feeling of familiarity and strangeness came to her mind.
"She said she didn't know where her master was. All she knew was that she was going to find it. This is the meaning of her life. "
"Then found it later? I asked her this way, but she didn't speak and blinked. "
"She is stupid, and there is nothing in her little head. I know that she probably doesn't know how to answer. "
"Actually, what I want to ask is, will we meet again in the future? Will you come back to see me when you find him? Will you forget me? "
"Also, I miss you, what should I do?"
"Later, she left. She said that she went to find her master. "
"I regret not keeping her at that time. On the third day after she left, I also left my hometown. I am going to find her. "
When the time came, the little girl walked slowly back to the ivory tower. She always felt so strange that she lay in bed and slept for a long time.
————
"I miss you, too." In the dream, I don't know whose voice it is.
On the fourth night, the little girl sat on the bench waiting for the little boy as usual.
"Later, I found her and she lived very well." The little boy looked at the girl with deep eyes.
"It's just that she forgot me."
The little boy looked up at the moon and said, "From the moment I saw her, I guessed that every time she left the moon, she would forget everything before."
"Because ... she's a stupid little guy and can't think too much." The boy smiled helplessly.
"So you're leaving?" The little girl asked.
She didn't want the little boy to leave. Listening to his stories every night has become the only interest in her boring life. She doesn't know where she came from or where she is going.
She lives aimlessly in this small town. Grandpa wouldn't let her go out during the day, saying it was because ...
Everyone in the town has no ears or tails, so she will be regarded as an alien.
"Do you want me to go?" The little boy turned and approached the little girl.
The little girl lowered her eyes and pursed her lips and said, "No, I hope you can stay here and tell me stories."
The little boy smiled, leaned down and kissed the little girl on the cheek: "Then I won't go and stay with you."
I miss you so much, little guy.
I won't lose you again this time. I want to tell you a life story.
