Once upon a time, two grains of sand were lying quietly on the seabed. They were two feet apart. She loved him very much.  She looked at him everyday peacefully and happily. It was very quiet under the sea. They did not need to worry about any changes. What she wanted was to be with him and shared everyday with him. The dinosaur walked along the beach and left their big footprints, which were washed away by the tide. Suddenly she came up with an idea, “ I should move to him. I desire to tell him that I love him.” She started her long journey. She rolled little by little, never wasted any external power which could help her movement, no matter the power was micro undercurrent or weak swirls generated by swimming fish. She appreciated all strength she obtained.

Time flied fast. Millions of years had passed. She was finally in front of him when human being appeared on the earth.  She looked at him deeply with love and thought about the two feet she moved within two hundreds millions of years. She felt she was the happiest one in the world. They looked at each other without saying any word. Later, she finally decided to tell him her love. 

However, a strong stream came and the current floated her. She was sucked into a cave. She gave her long journey and her beloved one a final glance. She could not say anything before the cave closed. She realized that she was captured by a  clam, in which she could only feel the darkness.
 
The clam opened his shell from time to time, which gave her an opportunity to see the outside. She noticed that he was close to her and looking at her. She was thrilled because he was still waiting for her. She did not know how long she stayed in the clam. One day, she felt the calm was shaking and opened his shells. She saw the surface of the sea, the sun, the boats and human beings. People stared at her cheerfully since she had already changed to a pearl, which was big, bright and pretty. The pearl was invaluable to human beings but only a painful accident to the dead clam. The pearl was decorated on the crown. Although the pearl (she) felt very forlorn, she was not desperate. Because she was confident that he was still waiting for her under the sea.

She watched the kingdom becoming strong and prosperous, then waned and dwindled. When the king died, she was buried with his dead body. Thinking about that he was still waiting for her there, she was not panic and scary. They had plenty of time to be back together again. She traveled for two hundreds millions of years for him when she was in the sea. 

She did not feel alone although she was all by herself. Her heart was in peace whenever she thought of him, the one she loved deeply. Hundreds of years later, the tomb was opened. Two ghouls stole the pearl. They fought with each other for getting it greedily and unfortunately they were all dead. The pearl was dropped into the river. She knew most of the rivers on earth would eventually merge to the sea so she hoped to follow the river and went back. She desired to meet him again. Even it would take a long time, hundreds of millions of years. She believed that he was determinedly waiting for her at where they met . 

Unfortunately, when it rained, landslide happened. The pearl (she) was buried under the dirt and mud. She was very disappointed. However, she was confident that she still had opportunity to be back since the earth was moving much faster than she did.

Again millions of years had passed. The pearl was changed back to her real look as a grain of sand. She would  meet him again as a pure, neat and clean sand.

She heard rumbling above the earth. She was sent in a gold mine now. She and other stones and dirt were threw into a hot jug. Until now she realized that she was a grind of sand, which was composed of gold. Soon she was melted with other small pieces of gold and made to a gold block. People hide the gold in a storage somewhere.  She spent many years in the storage sadly. She prayed that miracle would take her back to the sea in the unpredictable future. Then she would looked for everywhere for him, whom she loved most.

One day, the sands between gold blocks were taken out, she had no idea what would happen. The gold block was made to a music disc and recorded every beautiful language and sound in the world, including the sound of the wave. She was freaked out when the disc was installed into the space shuttle. She asked the gold beside her, “where are we going?” “We are being sent to the universe and convey human being’s information to other possible intelligences.” Other gold was so proud, “ not every gold molecule has this opportunity.” 

The space shuttle launched. She looked at the earth being farther and farther away from her. The earth was beautiful and weak in the immense universe.  She suddenly understood that she could never return to the sea. She could never go back to him. He did not promise anything but waited for her endlessly. Her history was marvelous. She was the prettiest pearl, the purest gold in the world. Now she was flying into the universe  and would become a marker from the earth in the universe. However, compared to all of these, she would rather to be an ordinary sand in the sea, she would rather to stay with her beloved sand for only one hour. She would rather to enjoy the simple love between the two pity sands.
  
She busted into tears. The universe heard her crying sadly and endlessly.

很久很久以前,在寂静的海底躺着两粒砂。他们相距两尺。一粒砂爱上了另外一粒。她凝视着两尺开外的意中砂,平安幸福地过了好多年。水下风平浪静,砂粒觉得自己很幸福,因为她知道有自己爱的砂可以让自己凝视,不用管水面上的台榭焦土,沧海桑田。

沙滩上现出恐龙的脚印。潮水涌来,脚印消失了,没有留下任何痕迹。这与海底的砂粒无关,但是在这一时刻她忽然冒出了一个念头:要到自己所爱的砂粒面前对他说爱他。于是砂粒开始了漫长的旅途,她一点一点地滚动,不放过任何一点动力,不管是细如发丝的暗流还是鱼们搅起的微弱旋涡。每当有这种力量是她总是觉得很感谢上苍。

沙滩上的脚印换成了剑齿虎的,潮水仍然无声地抹去了这个生物留下的印记。砂粒距离她所爱的另一粒砂只有三寸了。再往后,沙滩上出现了人类的脚印,当潮水再一次将这些脚印抹掉的时候,砂粒终于来到了意中砂的面前。她痴痴地看着自己所爱的砂,想想自己在两亿年间所走过的漫长的两尺,瞬间感到天上地下所有的幸福全部都堆砌到了自己一个身上。两粒砂互相看着,不说什么。很久。砂粒终于决定要开口了。 

正在这时一股水流涌来,巨大的吸力使砂粒漂起来,被吸进了一个洞里。他最后一眼看了看自己漫长的旅程,看了看自己爱着的砂粒,不知道该说什么。这时洞口合上了,顿时一片黑暗。他知道自己被一个蚌捕获了。
  在以后的岁月里蚌偶尔会张开壳,砂粒还能看看外面的世界,这时他就看到那另一粒砂也在不远的地方凝视着自己。砂粒知道,世界是美好的。因为在光阴无法侵袭的海底,有另一粒砂在等待着自己。
  某个时刻砂粒忽然觉得蚌有一点摇动,不久蚌壳张开了,映入眼帘的是海面,阳光,船和人类,人类用欣喜若狂的眼神望着他,他环视一下自身,知道自己已经变成了珍珠。这粒珍珠圆润硕大,在人类而言是无价之宝,可是对珍珠的制造者,死去的蚌来说只是一个带了些痛苦的意外。很快珍珠就被镶嵌到了王冠上。已经变成珍珠的砂粒觉得很悲哀,但是并不绝望,因为她知道,另一粒砂在海底,痴痴地然而永远地等待着她。

砂粒在王冠的顶端看着百官朝拜,看着国王老去,看着帝国衰落。随后国王终于死去了。王冠被用来陪葬。当王冠被放到棺材里的时候她听到墓穴门被关上。她心里想着的是在海底等待自己的另一粒砂。她并不惊慌,因为她有的是时间,她为了两尺距离整整旅行了两亿年。
      黑暗的墓穴并不寂寞,时常有老鼠之类的来和他做伴。她独自呆着,不知道光阴的流逝。

后来墓穴被打开了,两个盗墓者偷走了王冠,还有王冠上的珍珠。很不幸,他们在一条河边为了这粒最大的珍珠开始相互斗殴,双双死亡。

珍珠掉到了河边。珍珠中的砂粒燃起了一辈子从未有过的希望。她知道世界上的很多河水最终都要流到海里。等雨季来临,她就可以随着河水流下,到海里去寻找他。也许要经过无穷岁月才能达到最初的地方,可是有什么关系呢?她知道另一粒砂一定会在海底做永远的等待,望穿秋水。

很快雨季来了,可是来临的不是暴涨的河水而是泥石流。珍珠和珍珠之中的砂粒一同被埋到了浅浅的地下。砂粒非常失望,可是她知道自己还有机会,因为陆地也是运动的,而且比自己快得多。

又是一个漫长。珍珠层已经被剥离得没有了,砂粒又露出了自己的本色,她觉得很干净,自己可以一尘不染地去见另一粒砂了。

上面传来沉重的隆隆声,这是一个金矿,砂粒和其他石头、泥土等一起被扔到了一个酷热的罐子里。直到这时她才发觉自己原来是一粒金砂。很快,她和其他金子被融合到了一起,炼成一块金砖,运到了什么地方的金库收藏起来。砂粒在悲伤中度过了很多年,想到海底的另一粒砂就觉得心如刀搅,但是她安慰自己说:还会有机会的。不可预知的未来也许会再次把她回复成一粒砂,并且把她带回大海,那样她就可以做长久的搜寻,为了茫茫大海之中的另一粒砂,为了在海底等待她的那一粒砂。

有一天金砖和金砖之中的砂粒被一起取出,他不知道自己将会怎么样,金砖被做成了一张唱片,记录下了地球上的各种语言和声音,包括大海的波涛。直到唱片被安装在发射架上的火箭里时砂粒才觉得有些惊慌,她问身边的黄金:我们这是要去哪里?

要飞向宇宙,向其他可能存在的智慧生命传达地球人类的信息。其他黄金骄傲地回答:不是每个黄金分子都有这样的机会的。

正在这时火箭发射了。砂粒看着越来越远的地球,在宇宙中地球美丽而脆弱。她忽然间明白自己永远也不可能回到大海,回到没有任何诺言就在海底无尽等待自己的那一粒砂面前了。她有极为值得骄傲的历史,她曾经是世界上最美丽的珍珠,最纯的黄金,现在她是一粒飞上了茫茫宇宙的砂粒,是一个星球向宇宙所做的标记。可是比起这一切来她宁愿在海底做一粒砂,哪怕在自己所爱的砂粒身边呆上一个小时,就灰飞烟灭。仅仅是为了两粒砂之间可怜简单的爱情。

 

宇宙空间之中穿出一粒沙的哭声,飘荡着,经久不息……
