Star original:
I love the moonlit night, but I also love the starry sky. Once upon a time, in my hometown, when I was enjoying the cool in the yard at night in July and August, I loved to watch the dense stars in the sky. Looking at the stars, I will forget everything, as if I were back in my mother's arms.
Three years ago in Nanjing, there was a back door where I lived. Every night when I open the back door, I see a quiet night. Below is the vegetable garden, and above is the starry blue sky. Although starlight is tiny to our naked eyes, it makes us feel that light is everywhere. At that time, I was reading some books about astronomy. I knew some stars, as if they were my friends. They always talked to me.
Now at sea, facing the stars every night, I know them very well. I lay on the deck and looked up at the sky. There are countless stars hanging in the dark blue sky. The ship is moving, and so are the stars. They're so low, they're really shaky! Gradually my eyes blurred, and I seemed to see countless fireflies flying around me. The night at sea is soft, silent and dreamy.
I look at many stars I know, and I seem to see them winking at me. I thought I heard them whispering, and then I forgot everything. In the arms of the stars, I fell asleep laughing. I feel like a child, sleeping in my mother's arms now.
One night, the Englishman who got on the boat in Rumbo showed me the giants in the sky. He pointed to four bright stars as his head, the lower one as his body, these as his hands, those as his legs and feet, and three stars as his belt. After his guidance, I really saw the giants in the sky. Look, that giant is still running!
