English: Cloud Cotton Candy
Toby climbed the tallest hill in the meadow, clutching his grandfather’s ancient wooden spinning rod. High above, the clouds weren't made of water or ice today; they were pink, fluffy, and smelled faintly of toasted sugar. With a flick of his wrist, Toby cast his line into the sky, catching a stray breeze. Slowly, a giant puff of strawberry-scented mist began to twirl around his rod, growing larger and softer until he held a piece of the sunset in his hands.
Chinese: 云朵棉花糖 (Yúnduǒ miánhuā táng)
托比爬上草地里最高的小山坡，手里紧紧握着爷爷留下的那根古老木制旋转杆。高空中的云朵今天并非由水汽或冰晶组成；它们粉嘟嘟、蓬松松的，还带着一股淡淡的焦糖香味。托比手腕一抖，将线投向天空，捕捉到了一缕微风。慢慢地，一团巨大的草莓味雾气开始绕着他的长杆旋转，变得越来越大、越来越软，直到他手里握住了一抹落日的余晖。
