A long, long time ago, there were two grains of sand lying at the bottom of the silent sea. They were two feet apart. One grain of sand fell in love with another. He stared at the sand in his heart two feet away and lived peacefully and happily for many years. The water was calm, and the sand felt very happy because he knew that he could stare at the sand he loved, regardless of the scorched earth on the surface of the water.
Dinosaur footprints appeared on the beach. As the tide surged in, the footprints disappeared, leaving no trace behind. This had nothing to do with the sand grains at the bottom of the sea, but at this moment, he suddenly had a thought: He wanted to go to the sand that he loved and tell her that he loved her. So the sand began its long journey. It rolled bit by bit, not letting go of any power, whether it was the hair-thin undercurrent or the weak vortex stirred by the fish. Whenever he had this kind of power, he would always feel very grateful to the heavens.
The footprints on the beach were replaced by the saber-toothed tiger's, and the tide still silently erased the mark left by this creature. The grain of sand was only three inches away from the other grain of sand he loved. After that, human footprints appeared on the beach. When the tide wiped away these footprints again, the sand finally arrived in front of the sand. He looked at the sand he loved in a daze and thought about the long two feet he had walked in 200 million years. In an instant, he felt that all the happiness in the world had piled up on him. The two grains of sand looked at each other and didn't say anything. A long time passed. The sand finally decided to speak.
At that moment, a stream of water rushed over, and the huge suction force caused the sand grains to float up and be sucked into a hole. He took one last look at his long journey, at the sand he loved, not knowing what to say. At this moment, the hole closed, and it was instantly dark. He knew that he had been captured by a clam.
In the years to come, the clam would occasionally open its shell, and the grain of sand could still see the outside world. At this time, he saw the other grain of sand staring at him not far away. Sand knew that the world was beautiful. Because at the bottom of the sea where time could not invade, there was another grain of sand waiting for him.
At a certain moment, Sand suddenly felt the clam shake a little. Soon, the clam opened its shell and saw the sea, the sun, the boat, and the human beings. The human beings looked at him with ecstatic eyes. He looked around himself and knew that he had become a pearl. This pearl was round and huge. To humans, it was a priceless treasure. However, to the pearl's maker, the dead clam, it was just a painful accident. Soon, the pearl was embedded into the crown. The grain of sand that had turned into a pearl felt very sad, but it did not despair, because he knew that another grain of sand was at the bottom of the sea, waiting for him forever.
The sand grains on the crown watched the officials worship, the king grow old, the empire decline, and then the king finally died. The crown was buried with him. When the crown was placed in the coffin, he heard the tomb door close and thought of another grain of sand waiting for him at the bottom of the sea. He did not panic because he had plenty of time. He had traveled for 200 million years just to cover a distance of two feet.
The dark tomb was not lonely. There were often rats and the like that came to keep him company. He stayed alone and did not know the passage of time. Later, the tomb was opened and two tomb robbers stole the crown and the pearl on the crown. Unfortunately, they started fighting each other by a river for the largest pearl. Both of them died and the pearl fell to the river. The sand in the pearl ignited a hope that he had never had in his life. He knew that many rivers in the world would eventually flow into the sea. When the rainy season came, he could go down with the river and search for her in the sea. Perhaps it would take an endless amount of time to reach the original place, but what did it matter? He knew that the other grain of sand would be waiting forever at the bottom of the sea, looking forward to it.
Soon, the rainy season arrived. However, what came was not the surging river but the mudslide. The pearl and the sand grains within the pearl were buried in the shallow ground. Sand was very disappointed, but he knew that he still had a chance, because land was also moving, and it was much faster than him.
It was another long time. The nacre layer had been stripped away, and the sand grains had revealed their true colors. He felt very clean, and he could see another grain of sand without a speck of dust.
There was a heavy rumble from above. It was a gold mine, and the sand had been thrown into a hot pot with other stones and dirt. Only then did he realize that he was a grain of golden sand. Soon, he was fused with the other gold, refined into a gold brick, and transported to a vault somewhere to be stored. Sand had spent many years in sorrow. Thinking of another grain of sand at the bottom of the sea made his heart ache, but he comforted himself by saying, There would still be a chance. The unpredictable future might turn him back into a grain of sand and bring him back to the sea. Then he could search for another grain of sand in the vast sea, for the grain of sand waiting for him at the bottom of the sea.
One day, the gold bricks and the sand grains in the gold bricks were taken out together. He did not know what would happen to him. The gold bricks were made into a record, recording all kinds of languages and sounds on Earth, including the waves of the sea. It was not until the record was installed in the rocket on the launch pad that Sand began to panic. He asked Gold beside him," Where are we going?
They wanted to fly into space and convey information about Earth's humans to other intelligent life forms that might exist. The other gold particles answered proudly,"Not every gold particle has such an opportunity." At this moment, the rocket was launched.
The sand grains looked at the Earth that was getting farther and farther away. In the universe, the Earth was beautiful but fragile. He suddenly understood that he could never return to the sea, to the grain of sand that was waiting for him at the bottom of the sea without any promises. He had a history that he was extremely proud of. He was once the most beautiful pearl in the world, the purest gold. Now, he was a grain of sand that flew into the vast universe, a mark that a planet made to the universe. However, compared to all of this, he would rather be a grain of sand at the bottom of the sea, even if he had to stay beside the sand he loved for an hour before it would turn into ashes. Just for the simple love between two grains of sand.
A grain of sand's cry came from the universe.
When she finished, my tears flowed down because she was crying.
