中文故事

仙人掌（cactus）决定要一种新的生活模式（mode）。它厌倦了只是站在那里，看起来多刺。它梦想着成为一个特许经营（franchise）的一部分，就像一个受欢迎的电影系列。‘想象一下，’它想，‘我自己的动作物品（item），一个塑料的X光（X-ray）版的我，展示我内心对土壤的掌控（grip）！这并不过分可笑（ridiculous）；这是一个商业计划！’

英语故事

The cactus decided it wanted a new mode of life. It was tired of just standing there, looking prickly. It dreamed of being part of a franchise, like a popular movie series. 'Imagine,' it thought, 'my own action item, a little plastic X-ray of me, showing my inner grip on the soil! It's not ridiculous; it's a business plan!'
