Once, there was a little grey planet. People living on it hadn’t looked after it well. Although they had all kinds of inventions and spaceships beyond our imagination, they made the planet full of rubbish and pollution. As a result, there were no plants or animals left.
One day, a little boy was walking on the planet. When he passed a cave(山洞), he noticed a small red flower in it. The flower was sick. It was almost dying. The boy dug it out carefully with root and some soil. Then he tried to find somewhere to plant it. After he searched all the planet, there is no proper place because of rubbish and pollution. He looked up in the sky and he found the moon. He thought the flower might grow well on the moon. So he climbed into a spaceship with the flower and flew to the moon.
