"What is gone forever?" I asked.
"All the time everything will not come back.
Your yesterday has passed, it will always be yesterday, and you will never return to it.
Dad used to be as young as you, and now he can't go back to your childhood.
One day you will grow up, you will be as old as your grandmother, one day you will spend all your time and you will never come back like your grandmother.
"Dad said.
Dad told me a mystery, which made me feel terrible than "an inch of time and an inch of gold are hard to buy", and gave me an unspeakable taste than "time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle".
After that, I went home from school every day and watched the sun sink inch by inch in the yard until the day was really over.
Although there will be a new sun tomorrow, there will never be today's sun.
I saw birds flying into the sky. How fast they fly.
Tomorrow they will fly the same route, never today.
Maybe it's not the old birds that fly this route tomorrow, but the birds.
Time flies, so that my cautious eyes are not only anxious, but also sad.
One day when I came home from school, I saw that the sun was going down. I made up my mind to say, "I want to go home faster than the sun."
"I ran back and stood panting in the yard. I jumped for joy when I saw the sun showing half my face.
I beat the sun that day.
I will often play such games in the future. Sometimes I race against the sun, sometimes I race against the northwest wind, and sometimes I finish my homework in ten days in a summer vacation.
Every game is playing time, and I don't know how to describe it.
