The Mobility of Trees

Creature

"Why do we have to go in a boat?" Xiao Xin asked.

"Because that's the only way we can explore the River of the Walking Trees," Huo Linghun explained. He was already in the boat, holding out his hand to help Xiao Xin into it.

Xiao Xin didn't like to be on the water. But he was very interested to see walking trees. And exploring like this was important to Huo Linghun too- this would also be his f...

When Huo Linghun got lost in thought he stared off into the distance. When Xiao Xin got lost in thought he did little things like draw lines in the dirt with a piece of bamboo or run his finger up and down along his ear.

"What are you thinking about, my Xiao Xin?" Huo Linghun wondered aloud.

Xiao Xin replied with a question: "Why can't trees walk?"

"Because they are rooted in the ground," Huo...

Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin were traveling and exploring as they often did. On their way back from one adventure they found that a landslide had blocked the path so they found another way. The only thing was that it involved crossing a bridge over a deep canyon.

It took a very very long time to convince Xiao Xin to cross the bridge, and finally they were almost to the other side. Huo Linghun got to ...

Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin were exploring such a forest one day. The trail was wide, parts of it looping off around logs or mounds of plants. The two of them explored along different looping branches of the trail, calling ea...

Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin were sitting in their bamboo clearing. In front of them was a pile of small cut pieces of bamboo. Huo Linghun was holding one and poking at it with his knife. "Do you know what else bamboo is good for?" he asked.

"Yeah!" Xiao Xin said.

Huo Linghun turned to see him with a little piece of bamboo stuck onto each of his fingers. He laughed and said, "Well that's another th...

The Lingering Ghosts of Memories

Creature

Huo Linghun was pouting inside their little bamboo house in their little bamboo clearing one chilly morning. He'd sprained his ankle the evening before after tripping over a fallen bamboo stalk while practicing with his sword. Bamboo stalks sure tripped people a lot.

Xiao Xin sat beside him looking quite a bit more cheerful. "It's okay, Linghun, it's not forever," he consoled him. "You'll get be...

The Number of Moons

Creature

On the outskirts of a small village was a peaceful lake. It sat calmly at the edge of a less-traveled path in a sparse forest. The path was lined with short stone walls, and upon one of these walls sat Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin. They faced the lake, listening to the quiet sounds of the night and looking at the stars. The moon was nestled brightly among the stars, its reflection shining on the lake'...

The cool afternoon air was invigorating. The forest path ahead was clear.

They raced together around the bends as the trail snaked...

A Comparison to Kites

Creature

One day Huo Linghun and Xiao Xin tried flying kites. Their kites were painted like dragons and had long dragon tails. They watched as the dragon kites swooped and hovered high above them.

"How do they fly?" Xiao Xin asked.

"They ride on the wind," Huo Linghun answered.

"Dragons had wings," Xiao Xin said. "They could fly."

"That's right."

"If we had wings I would ride on your back and you cou...

The Purpose of Horns

Creature

1 min read

"Why did dragons have horns?" Xiao Xin asked one day as he helped to untangle Huo Linghun's horns from some low-hanging vines.

"Probably to protect themselves," Huo Linghun guessed.

"Do you think they got their horns tangled up in vines?"

Huo Linghun thought that dragons most likely did not get their horns tangled up in vines. But out of embarrassment he said, "They probably did."
