When I was a boy, I spent much time playing alone. I didn't1 it too much, though. I lived outside town, next to a forest where oaks (橡树) were my2 . I would sit in their shade and enjoy their peace.
Therefore it was so3 for me when I was in employment in a4 processing factory. It wasn't just the5 work, long hours, and low pay. It was also seeing trees being cut. The red oak trees were6 influenced because they made the prettiest hardwood flooring.
One afternoon after a long day's work, I decided to take a walk in the7 . As I wandered, I was filled with8 for childhood days. Feeling so down, I dropped my head and that was when I9 it: a red oak acorn (橡子) that had somehow10 hungry animals all winter long. Something I'd read once11 me at that moment — "An acorn12 a forest eventually if it wants!" I smiled, bent down, dug up a handful of dirt and carefully13 that little acorn. Then I headed home, no longer14 , for I also realized in our life we all15 as an acorn, but whether our future is a forest or not is up to us.
