It walked and walked and walked but could not find anyone. If I am big, the human being thought, maybe I have a better view on what is around me. So the lonesome human being spread its arms.
d = big, great
Even though the human being was now bigger it did not see anyone nor did anyone notice the human being. I need to grow till I reach the heaven, said the lonesome human to itself. It started to grow and continued to grow and grow and grow (Do you see the human being with its spread arms walking continuously around the square ? This is how you can remember the Chinese character for to continue)
yn = to continue
Now the human being was almost so big that it touched the sky.
tin = heaven
Suddenly it could not grow any further. The heaven was locked. The lonesome being started to cry.
Once the lonesome human stopped crying it looked down. Oh it is so beautiful, and it smiled for the first time.
mi = beautiful
And finally the lonesome human being discovered another lonesome human being. From now on the human being did not feel lonely anymore.
And the two human beings were very, very happy. They played all day long until they were tired.
ling = two
One of their favorite games was a counting game. I am one, said the first human being. I am two, counted the other. Together we are two people, they both shouted out loud and laughed.
They also enjoyed a running game. Lets run up the hill, said the one to the other. They both started to run. I have arrived, shouted the first. Me too, shouted the second one. And they both hugged each other.
li = to arrive, to come to
Hide and seek was their other fun game. But each time they played it, one of them got scared. It felt lonesome again. And when they finally caught each other they said with relief. We are complete again and smiled. (The person ()and the king () united means complete)
qun = complete
This is now the best place to be in. I am so happy said one human being. This is correct replied the other. The End.
