When the fountain erupted

It is like a foreigner who steals piglets.
It is like a mountain where no plants begin to sprout.
It is like a hook of a vicious shape.

But it had no piercing claws.
During that time a child's laughter entertained me.
During that time the trampled plants sprouted with expectation.

And thus the fountain was revealed to the plants and to me.
