自然资源
村里开会，大家要选出最“响亮”的自然资源，Oil 先到，后面跟着 Coal、Water、Forest、Mineral 和 Gas。
接着 Wind 冲进来，把纸条吹得到处都是，Sun 又亮得让大家都睁不开眼。
Iron 夸自己最强，Gold 说自己最亮，Diamond 还想抢走所有目光。
在房间后面，Soil 安静地解释：如果没有它，Forest 长不高，Timber 做不成，Clay 和 Sand 也很难配合。
大家最后都笑了，明白每一种资源都重要，因为只有 Oil、Water、Forest、Fish、Limestone、Uranium、Copper、Salt 这些一起发挥作用，生活才能运转得最好。
The village held a meeting to choose the loudest natural resource, and Oil arrived first with Coal, Water, Forest, Mineral, and Gas right behind it.
Then Wind rushed in and blew the notes away, while Sun shone so brightly that everyone had to squint.
Iron bragged that it was the strongest, Gold said it was the brightest, and Diamond tried to steal the spotlight.
At the back of the room, Soil quietly explained that without it, Forest could not grow tall, Timber could not be made, and Clay and Sand could not work together well.
Everyone finally laughed and agreed that every resource mattered, because life works best when Oil, Water, Forest, Fish, Limestone, Uranium, Copper, Salt, and the rest all do their part.
