The Little Sapling and His Little Secret

Little Sapling has a little secret that even his parents don't know: he can hear animals talking.

That summer vacation, he and his little buddy Lele, a dog, went to visit his grandpa in the countryside.

There, he met lots of new friends.

Someone stole the peanuts Grandpa had planted in his field. Little Sapling questioned the neighbor's dog, a big white goose passing by, and the birds flying overhead, and helped Grandpa find the little peanut thief.

The older brother from Grandma Wang's house had lost his homework notebook. Little Sapling eagerly offered to help. He asked the big yellow ox, the little pig, and the little swallow, but none of them had seen it. In the end, Lele's keen nose helped them find the notebook.

The little carp in the pond got sick. Little Sapling asked why, and the carp said someone had been dumping garbage into the pond, polluting the water and making it ill. Little Sapling and his friends caught the litterbug, the pond water became clean again, and the little carp soon got better.

While staying at his grandpa's home in the countryside, Little Sapling used his secret and the help of his friends to become a little detective, helping lots of people and animals.

At last, summer vacation ended. He returned to his parents' home in high spirits, looking forward to visiting Grandpa again.
