A shrew – on the sand and in the sun
A shrew is sitting on the sand in the sun. There's a lot of grass here. It's orange from the sun. And the shrew is sitting here now. Looking around. There's sand here. Quite dense. And it's orange from the sun. Probably. The shrew just came out of its burrow. A long passage. And it brought it here. To a sunny spot. Being in the sun is also a pleasant thing.
All the kind little animals live here. They are kind and smart. And the shrew is in the sun. And underground. There are whole passages underground. Burrows. A world of its own. Above ground, too, is a world of its own. Sunlight. Grass. And sand. It depends where you emerge. The shrew has a map of the underground passages. But it doesn't understand much about what's above ground. Every time it emerges, it's surprised.
It's nice in the sun too. The sand is orange. And the grass is scorched by the bright sun. There's a red brick lying nearby. Someone put it here. Last week. And it's still there. It'll probably stay there forever. The world above ground is a complete unknown for the little animal. The shrew has already made friends with various little creatures. A mole. A mouse. But there are still many amazing things ahead.
The shrew sits and basks in the sun. It can be cool underground. The shrew has plenty of tasty roots in store. There, underground. And dry leaves. There are some, too. It's comfortable to wrap up in them and sleep. It's nice to remember my underground home. The surface is its own world. Everything is so sunny. And I still have many days to explore. Further on, there are thickets of grass. It can be dark. And cozy.
Previously, the shrew only lived underground. And at night or at dusk, it would crawl to the surface. But how smart the little animal became. A whole world opened up. There is a surface. There is so much here. The sun is shining. It's wonderful. So many new things. There's sand. And small pebbles. All sorts. Light and dark.
Now the shrew will look around. And decide where to go next. There's an underground passage somewhere in the grass. She can find it. And navigate from it. The grass has its own unique features, too. The grass is green. Beetles live there. The little animal has already met the cockchafer and the rose chafer. And other beetles. Beetles are kind fellows. Always cheerful. They crawl around. They explore everything. There are also ants. They are also busy fellows.
The shrew knows them now, too. Here she sits in the sun. And thinks about the world above ground. How amazing it is. A breeze caresses her fur. The warm sun warms her. In the grass, the beetles are already calling her to come have some tea. The ants have made some kind of tea. From leaves. Perhaps she should go inside and have some tea. The little animal will go to the grass to find beetles and ants. And it's nice on the sand. It can sit in the sun.
