Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滾動(dòng)) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms(蠕蟲). It found lots of different pieces, but none of them was fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
