泥土里面又黑又暗。

我能够听见鸟儿在歌唱，

我能够感到阳光温暖，但怎么也看不见。

“我一定要走到阳光中，”我说道，

“我不要待在这棕黄色的壳里。”

我伸出一枝茎和两片小叶子，

它们爬了出去，到达了阳光下，

How bright and beautiful it was there!

I pushed a little root into the earth.

The little root began to drink in food.

My leaves drank in the light and air.

I said “Good-bye” to my brown shell.

“I am a plant and need you no more.”
