‘妈，我口渴。。’那个小不点说。
‘乖，那要等天下雨了才有水喝啊。’
‘那,什么时候下雨呢？’
‘这个，我也不清楚，它来了你就知道了，’母亲回答，叹口气，‘耐心的等，好吗？’
‘嗯。’女儿回答，有点委屈。
过了一会儿，小不点又问：‘妈，为什么这里只有我们两个呢？’
‘不是啊，外面还有好多的。’
‘那我怎么看不到他们呢？’
‘等你长高了，就能看到了。’
‘那，我什么时候才能长高呢？’
‘很快的，耐心点呢，宝贝！’
‘嗯。’女儿回答，有点委屈。
过了一会儿，女儿又问：‘妈，我冷，可以抱抱你吗？’
‘我的乖乖，不能啊！’
‘为什么不能啊？’
‘因为风都是向一个方向吹的，我们没有办法碰到一起的。’
‘那，我不可以自己走吗？’
‘不行啊，你一走就有生命危险的。’
‘生命危险，那是什么意思？’
‘就是，就是。。唉，乖，不要问那么多了好吗？长大就明白了呢。’
可是，小不点显然无法保持安静。过了一会儿，她又说：‘妈，这里好臭。’
‘宝贝，那是车的尾气。’妈妈回答的相当自信。
‘车是什么东西呢？’
‘车就是你每时每刻都能看到的东西啊。’
‘那尾气是什么？’
‘就是，就是，车产生的气。’
‘那车产生的气为什么那么臭啊？’
‘这个，我也不清楚啊。乖乖，不要问那么多了，习惯就好了’
‘可我没办法习惯啊。’
‘那只有等风来吹啊。’
‘那风什么时候来呢？’
‘这个，应该很快就有的，耐心一点，好吗？’
‘嗯。’女儿回答，有点委屈。
过了一会儿，女儿又问：‘妈，我的脚趾头疼。’
‘乖，水泥太硬，小心一点往软的地方长呢。’
‘妈，水泥好讨厌啊，为什么到处都是水泥啊？’
‘这个，我也不清楚。’
‘妈妈，为什么你也不清楚啊？’
‘我一生下来，这里就是我的家，从来没有人告诉我啊。’
‘那，你没有问你的妈妈吗？’
‘我没有妈妈啊，我是说，我是说我不知道我的妈妈在哪里。’
‘噢，妈妈，是吗？妈妈，没有妈妈。。。’小不点嘀咕着。
‘是啊，我的乖女儿。你幸运了呢，至少妈妈就站在你的旁边呢。’
说到这，小不点的心情似乎好了很多。她们俩相视而笑，目光相拥；这时刚好又来了一阵风...

On my way home, while waiting on a traffic light, I rolled down the car window, and happened to listen in a conversation between two plants on the kerb:
‘Mum, I am thirsty,’ said the little one, complaining.
‘Oh, dear, we will have to wait for the rain.’
‘When is it going to rain, Mum?’
‘Well, I don’t know, only see it when it comes,’ replied Mum, with a sigh. ‘Be patient, ok?’
‘Ok,’ answered the little one, with a touch of disappointment.
After a little while, she asked again: ‘Mum, why only us in the space?’
‘That is not true; there are a lot of them outside.’
‘Why, then, I couldn’t see them?’
‘You will see them when you grow up taller.’
‘Then when shall I grow up taller?’
‘Won’t take long, dear, be patient, ok?’
‘Ok,’ answered the daughter, with a touch of disappointment.
But after a little while, she asked again: ‘Mum, I am cold, can I hug you?’
‘Oh, no, my dear, you can’t!’
‘Why can’t?!’
‘Because the wind is always blowing us in same direction, and never are we able to touch each other!’
‘But I can walk to you, can’t I?’
‘No, no, you can’t, my dear, you will risk your life if you do.’
‘What is it the risk of my life?’
‘It is, is…oh, my dear, no more questions, you will understand when you grow up taller.’
But apparently the little one couldn’t keep her mouth idle. After a while, she started again: ‘the smell is disgusting.’
‘Well, that is the emission of the car,’ said Mum, who now seemed to be happy enough to answer a question to her good knowledge.
‘What is a car?’
‘A car is what you see on every moment of your life.’
‘But what is the emission?’
‘That is, that is, a type of gas produced by the car,’ answered Mum, though sounding a little loss of confidence.
‘But why is the gas so stinky?’
‘Well, well, dear, I can’t answer you,’ said Mum, rather impatiently, as if she was annoyed with her, or even with herself for not knowing enough. ‘I don’t know myself. You will have to get used to it!’
‘But I could not and would not get used to it!’
‘Then you have to wait for the wind.’
‘When does the wind come?’
‘That won’t take long, be patient, patient, will you?’
‘Ok, ok.’ answered the daughter, with a heavier touch of disappointment.
But, after another while, the little one said once again: ‘Mum, my toes are sore.’
‘Oh, my dear, the cement is hard, and you need to feel the soft part to stretch your feet.’
‘I hate the cement, why is it everywhere?’
‘Well, I don’t know again.’
‘Mum, why so, why don’t you know?’ insisted the little one, beginning to show her little temper.
‘Well, my love, I don’t know, I was born right in this place and no one had ever told me!’
‘Why didn’t you ask your mum?’
‘I didn’t have a mum; I mean, I mean I never know where my mum is.’
‘Ah, really? Mum? pity, mama, without a mum….’ murmured the little one to herself.
‘Yes, my love, sweet, you shall be content, that at least you have me stand beside you.’
With this, and after a little while, the daughter did appear contented, and didn’t raise any more questions. They embraced each other by their affectionate smiles, and when a pleasant breeze suddenly blew in their way, both of them were saluting elegantly and happily to the little sky, with their little laughter filling the entire little space.
