Part 28: Miniman in a well

Boundless Forest Samsara was separated from her father, Ren Zu, and could only stay in Ordinary Abyss. She was heartbroken and did not feel happy eating the fruits anymore. Every day, she would shed tears and weep incessantly, until she got tired and gradually fell asleep. In a dream of hers, she vaguely heard some extremely soft voices and felt something small, like an ant, climbing her body. Immediately, she woke up and sat up, and saw a Miniman was climbing on her body. Because of Boundless Forest Samsara’s movement, this Miniman’s foothold became unstable, and it fell to the ground. “Who are you? There is actually such a small person like you in the world?” Boundless Forest Samsara saw the Miniman that was not even the size of her finger and felt extremely curious, forgetting to cry for a moment. The Miniman looked at the giant Boundless Forest Samsara with a stupefied look, and after the shock, he raised his head and started crying loudly. “Hey, little person, I am not crying, what are you crying for?” Boundless Forest Samsara was puzzled. The Miniman spoke while crying, “I am the tallest in my tribe, and I was brave, arrogant, and proud because of this. Today, I intended to climb a mountain, but to think that this mountain was really a person. There are actually such giant people like you in the world; this is the first time I’ve seen someone like you, so I burst into tears.” Almost every person who explored and grew up would have such a mental journey. The more they saw, the more they realized their weaknesses. Sometimes they would sigh at the vastness of the world, and sometimes they would find how far their goal was, and to reach their goal, they had to go through an endless journey which they had not considered before. They would feel loss, bewilderment, discouragement, panic, even hopelessness. Thus, one could understand the Miniman crying when it saw Boundless Forest Samsara.
