"Whoosh..." A gust of wind blew me into a large forest. As I
looked around, I saw a lush green grassland with countless small grasses
reaching out to welcome me. Then, I found a red and ripe strawberry hidden
in the thick grass. My mouth watered as I stole it and swallowed it whole
when no one was looking.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and disoriented. Time passed by in seconds, and in a
blink of an eye, I had become as tiny as a thumb. Looking at myself in
disbelief, I wondered what magic had made me so small. With no other choice,
I set off on my own to search for my companions.
After passing through a dense forest, I arrived at a vast canyon that seemed
like an endless abyss. I lost my way and relied on my instincts to move
forward. Suddenly, a huge dark shadow flashed before my eyes, and I tiptoed
into a closer look. To my surprise, it was a "giant," and to save my life, I
had to escape.
Then, a large black shadow loomed overhead, and I hid under a small mushroom
to see what it was. But it rushed towards me, and I ran as fast as I could.
It chased after me relentlessly, and suddenly, I stumbled over a small stone
into the nearby river. Unfortunately, the river was turbulent, and I
struggled to swim while drinking water, nearly drowning. Finally, a wave
carried me to the shore downstream. I passed out and woke up in someone's
home, asking, "How did I get here?" The old people replied, "We were about
to ask you the same question. Why are you so small?" I touched the back of
my head and told them my thrilling story. They laughed and said, "Oh, so
that's what happened!" Seeing my eager expression to return to my original
size, the old man took out a gourd smaller than me from his pocket and said,
"Gourd, gourd, turn me back! I'll be a good boy from now on." I followed his
words and miraculously returned to my original size. I thanked them
repeatedly and was overjoyed. However, the old people waved goodbye and
disappeared. I stood there, thinking, "This could be a chance for me to
start over, sent by God's messenger."
"Ding-ling-ling." A ringing sound awakened me, and I sat up, rubbing my
eyes. Then, I realized it was just a dream!
