When I was a child, I was curious about everything. Curiosity always prompted me to discover and seek answers. It was the summer when I was six years old, and my mother was watching the computer. The sun was shining brightly, shining into the house from the window, and the hot light and shadows were rippling on the fish tank. The little fish all swam to the side of the wall, where there was a cool place with flowing shadows. I walked over curiously, lay down beside the fish tank, and said to them: "Little fish, little fish, you can only hide from the sun in that place, it's so crowded and suffocating! Otherwise, I will fish you out for some fresh air?" The little fish ignored me, some hid in the water plants, and some sank to the bottom of the water, as if they understood what I said and were playing hide-and-seek with me. I didn't care whether the little fish was happy or not, so I reached in and caught my favorite little black fish in one go, held it in my hand, and carefully placed it on my desk. The air conditioner in the room was whirring. I said to the little black fish, "It's so cool and comfortable here." The little black fish jumped hard on the table, opening and closing its mouth and swinging its tail. I thought it must be saying "thank you"! I called my mother happily, "Mom, look, I took the little black fish out of the fish tank to enjoy the cool air. It's so happy and dancing for me!" Mom ran over in a hurry, "Oh!" She shouted, grabbed the little black fish and rushed out without saying anything, and gently put the little black fish back into the fish tank. The little black fish floated on the water for a while, turned over, and swam away slowly. Mom breathed a sigh of relief, tapped my forehead and said, "You unlucky child, the little fish will die due to lack of oxygen if it leaves the water!" "Will die? Why? Why can't fish leave the water? Why don't we live in the water? Why..." I ignored my mother's angry expression and slipped out a lot of "whys". My mother shook her head helplessly, "You are such a curious child! You have always asked many questions since you were young!" My mother pulled me over to sit on the sofa, stroked my head and explained softly, "Fish breathe with their gills. They open and close their gills to dissolve oxygen in the water. Once they leave the water, the gills stick together and they can't breathe. If they can't breathe, they will die from lack of oxygen. We humans breathe with our lungs. We don't have gills and can't live in water like fish. Amphibians, such as frogs, have both gills and lungs, so they can live in water and on land. There are so many things in the world that you don't know. Read more and observe more, and you will slowly understand more and more." "Then I will study hard and learn everything I want to know!" I raised my little fist and said like a vow. A sweet smile appeared on my mother's face. Indeed, I am curious by nature. "Why do snails always carry their own houses on their backs?", "Why do people have no wings?", "Why do we feel hungry?", "Why can't little white rabbits laugh?"... I like to ask questions about everything I encounter, and slowly, I find that I have learned a lot of little knowledge. My father said that I am a little stupid, but there is nothing I can do about it, because I am a curious child! However, I want to say: From childhood to now, I have grown up with curiosity. I want to say: curiosity is great!
