We seem to have forgotten something

^{The green lawn is as soft as a carpet, the lavender forms a blue ocean, the wheat field shines with golden light, and there are green melon fields under the scorching sun, cherry trees in full bloom, sweet-scented osmanthus trees, tea trees all over the hillside, and tall and straight poplar trees... All of this makes people obsessed, but when praising the beauty, we seem to have forgotten something?

When we see the scenery, we can also think about what makes the scenery.

The answer can be anything, as long as children remain curious, they can come up with their own answers.}
