Mother wants to catch a beautiful butterfly
To put on in my pink dress
And bring me to stroll down the street
...
Bell Apple / Bells
A string of small pink bells
Look for the wind to make the sound of ding dong
But I actually like peaceful quiet
...
That day
The weather suddenly changes
The little raindrops are leaving home one by one
After that they change their bodies into many crystal pillars
...
Grandpa Tree is an arrogant guy
Nobody can get him to look at them
He never says anything
He stays quiet as he stands there
...
Rain mother!
Are you too busy washing clothes
And forgetting to turn the faucet off?
