children and flying horse Chapter eight The secret base in the mountain

Cloud Ma leaded to a small cabin somewhere in the mountain.  He was not clear where is the place, his eyes covered with black cloth,
the bumping van taking him go though the roads full of small rocks.  The cabin's smell mixed with hay and horse manure, and
heard sound of horse from far away.   From the side view he sees several black shadow pass around in the cabin, and some Flickering fire light from the corner.   "Where is it?"   The rough hemp rope making his hande and feet really hurt.   He tried to ease the pain and
stay calm.   Some black silhouette shaking in front of him, but he only heard speaking sound and not knowing who they are.
 The was tighted on a chair, a spot light hanging  over his head.  He felt toally wet except the light over his head.
He was very nervous ans sweat a lot, heavy chest, and difficult to breath.  He breath really hard.  The more he tried to hold the breathe to stay calm, the more he felt difficult to breath.  He knows this situation will cause Asthma, but he cannot help.
"You know why we got you here ? "
His head shaked with deep breathe.
"We got your father, too.  Want to know where he is ?"  He lifted his head, and found out few golden color hair comes from one of the
black silhouette's scraf.   He kept silence, tried to control his breathing.  He might loose his life if not staying calm.   He can hear his
own breathe, or say, to feel his own breathe, going though in front of his nose.   He tried to control his thinking, hopefully to
stay clear.   Right now he slowing sees an image from his head,  a driving jeep, blue jeep, two people inside, no, three,
one of them is his father.  The car driving on high way, near a beach.  Right, it's a beach,  some coconut trees, and very few
buildings.  Where is it ?  nothing brings onto his head.  He trying really hard to see clear the picture.   Then the black silhouette
speaks again:
 
"We need you to help us with something.  Regarding your father."
"What's that?  My father cannot help you ?  why"
"Your father refused to help us, so we got you there.  Because you have the same ability"
"What if I say no?"
"Easy.  If you say no, then you say no to your father's life, too"
"What you plan to do ?"
"Your father's behavior in this couple of years already demage our benefit.  If he keeps working with NASA, we have to shut down
the whole career. "
"Demage your career?  What career?"
"Don't need to know. " The only thing you have to do is to replace your father, otherwise, you have to live in the world alone.
No family.  You remember how your mother died ?  Remember what happed to the break?
"Of course I know.   You?  Did you kill my mother?"
"No, the one killed your mother not us, it's Y-O-U"  The thin lips under the black mask moved, bring out the word "YOU"
"That's right, YOU !" Another black shadow said.
"You remember the day, if you don't play basket ball with classmates so late, delay the time to go home.  We did not have time to
do it.
"you !"  Cloud remembered what happened the day, that it was snowing for few days, it was a beautiful sunny day,  he stayed in
school to play basketball with friends.  His mother parked the car in the parking lot, no response after calling him few times,
then she turned off the car, go to the basketball court to get him.   Then his mother stayed in the court to watch him play.
Quite a while , she stayed in the basketball court, being very patient wait there until the game finished.   He remember
the day, she has a ponytail, and fiddle the hair in the wind.   He saw her full of smile and applauded.   Tears come from
his eyes,  he tried not to let the tears come out.
"Then, what you want me to do ?  tell me."
"Simple.  Your father has secret base, you know that?"
"No. "  Cloud listens very carefully.
"That's all right, I think you will find out.   We will help you. "  Then one of the black shadow shown him a small piece of paper.
full of symbol and numbes.
"I cannot see, how can I see that with cloth covered?"  The black shadow man shows a cold smile.
"Simple !"  He brouthg an infrared light to take the object, then say" clear "
It shows some symbol and numbers:
2882772646693　And the next line wrote:  2862648
2272582510514　
The black shadow spoke with strange accent: "Do you understand that ? "
Cloud Ma shaked his head calmly: "No. "
"Will you know after few days ? "
He just watched the bulb over his head: "maybe.  Is my father safe ?"
"Don't worry, some one special as your father, we don't like him to be killed."
"Promise?"
"Of course, promise you with royal glory. "
"Royal ?  you from?"
"Right, as the way you thought about, but we are gentlemen.  Once we got the things we need, we will go.  Might be you will
be rich or get a royal medal. "
"What happen after I find the secret base ? "
"Let's see.  It's not good for children knowing too much.  Take a break.  Get some sleep."

Children and flying horse Chapter seven The secret under the bed

The world under bed is a secret wonderland.  Almost every child once a while stay under the bed, which a space looks horrible dark but making children feel safe.  In the isolated space, all the obstructions shut from the door.   The space usually have some spiderweb,
and the light refracted from outside representing a kind of brilliant beauty.  Cloud Ma used to do the same thing, that hiding in the space.  Especially the period after his mother past away.    His tiny body just able to fit into the space under the bed.   He bend his body and feeling safe just like in mother's arms.    Most of the time he just stays in the space without doing nothing, beacuse it is too painful to think about something you will never ever to have again.   At the time, he held the little bear his mother made for him,
to let himself remains in the darkness, being sucked in the swirl , flowing up and down in the memory poor by holding the floating aquatic.   Althought the aquatic can give nothing , but become the temporarily supporting power for him.   He did not jump out from the world which has his mother to return to reality.  If possible, he wish to be with his mother for one day.   Just one day.  Doing
ordinary things, having ice cream in resturant, watching his mother doing dishes, and his mother tie on headkerchief, acting really
funny to imitate the singers on the TV to sing the kitchen, to make him laugh, then his mother holding him to play merry go round.
Almost everything little thing looks so wonderful  in memory.
Now he is a big ,  cannot fill into the space under the bed any more.  After leaving the house full of memories, his bed is
made of bamboo and no space for him.   But the space able to fit in a telegraph.  He listening to the sound like da da da da 
from there, and showing a lot of dots on paper, the paper keep sending from the machine.  What is this ?
When Cloud Ma was little, his father taught him about the Morse code.  For example , A is 『.- 』， B is 『-... 』，and L is 
『 .-.. 』.  It is so hard to believe that some dots and lines can tell so many things like children's book.  Once he send his mother a
happy mother's day card, his mother laughs and keep asking him : "what is this " "what does it meant  ?"  then he feel embaressed
to run to the garden, making his mother to chase after him.  He always remember the day, the sunshine so strong, lighting on the card.
The simple dots and lines becoming his memory forever.

The sentence was ：　『..   .-.. --- ...- .   -.-- --- ..- 　』
Ｉ　ＬＯＶＥ　ＹＯＵ.
..   .-.. --- ...- .   -.-- --- ..-   .- .-.. .-- .- -.-- ...   .- ...   ... ..- -.   --. --- . ...   ..- .--.   .- -. -..   -.. --- .-- -. 
Ｉ　ＬＯＶＥ　ＹＯＵ　ＡＳ　ＳＵＮ　ＧＯＥＳ　ＵＰ　ＡＮＤ　ＤＯＷＮ
The choppy paper with morse code calling him the memory from the past.  He wiped out the tears and checking the Morse code
paper.   The paper was sending some mixed messages.  He knows every code and does not udnerstand the meaning of that.
The paper keep sending something like : "Lab" "biogas", "Hydrogen atom" "energy crisis ", "Destruction time", then others are
some code and professional words.  He gets truly confused.   When he wondered bringing the paper to ask his father about it,
he heard some weird sound from the door, and sound of glass shaking, then sound of door opening.  He thought his father
back home, but no one in the living room. The dishes left from breakfast still remain on the table.   He checked the bowl,
the rice has not finished.   "What happened ? "  Why his father left without finishing the meal?    In the meantime,
something hit on his neck, making him head numb,  he could not hold the body , then he fell down on the floor with
the bowl wiped and crashed.
Bang !
He lost  conscious.

Chapter 7 Discovery in North Pole
A huge icebreaker ship head on ice really fast, the ship body shows "Canada Coast Guard", the sharp bow crashes on the ice,
the ice pieces crash under the ship,  the broken sound can be heard everywhere.   A helicopter take up from the ship and keep
go around in the air.   A very dangeout image shows above the sea,  that many floating ice impacted onto seal boats,
cause hundren seal boats stucked on the sea.   The floating ice running really quick hit on the boat, some seal boats
already being punctured.  The finshing men would not leave the boat even though the situation really dangeous.
The ice pieces melting really fast, the ice layer might break down in a minuate.   Neither eaving or stay is very dangeous. 
They chose to stay in the boat to wait for survival.  The boats get too close and crush on eather, the fishing members
jump onto other seal boats for help, and helicopter dispatched for rescuing.
In the seas, a fishing boad driving waddlely and keep squeezed by the ice cubes, the body broken in serveral location.   The wind from north pole blowing strongly as rope whipping on the boat.  The wind keep blowing, the soon clumbling sink into the sea and disappeared.  The ice pieces floating on the sea soon fill the location, seems like nothing ever happened.
The wind keep blowing.
The green biogas holes lining on the seas with floating ice, hundren thousand biogas fire keep turning big to small and small to big,
The green biogas holes lining on the seas with floating ice, hundren thousand biogas holes keep turning big to small and small to big,
come close and get away as dancing with fire.  The biogas being visible due to the melted ice, which means the weather changing
fast, the temperture keep rising get the biggas holes released from serveral million years frozen ice.   The scientist Kore watching the  jumping fire dance keep flowing hundren milles sadly.
Kore, a man with white hair and bread.  Showing exhausted look checking at the biogas fire far from the core of earth.  A bloody cold feeling comes from his back , the cold air comes from the feet to his brain.   He felt so disappointed.   Many years harding working on
global warming control, but still cannot stop things happened.  The treaty signed in 1994 called -- United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change，UNFCCC, has listed all the clause that all the countries need to comply with.   The mean goal of the treaty is to keep the greenhouse effect stablize controlled on a level which preventing from dangeous man do disturbing. This level
shall keep the Ecology system able to be adjusted to suit the weather change naturely, ensure the food production keep out of
threaten and keep the econmic development progressed continuedly in certain time range.   And after that, the agreement signed
in Tokyo Japan, called Tokyo agreement clearly listed all the standard of carbon reduction that all the countires need to follow, and
hopefully the tempreture can be lowed down on the earth surface.
But, now, seeing the view,  tears come from Dr. Kore's eyes, the wind bringing pain to his eyes, and the tears frozen to ice
in few sec.
Scienist's tear notice the tragedy of the world.

children and flying horse Chapter six Marble Ball Box

Saturday afternoon, Cloud Ma was home alone.  He took out the marble ball box.   Collecting marble balls was his
hobby since childhood.   He like to collect all kind of marble balls, different shapes, round, flat, size like
ping-pong, or green beans,  or peas with many different kind of material.   He likes the marble balls.
Concentrated on checking what is inside.   He feels the marble balls look like the planets running in the universe.
Some marble balls filling with different stuff, different shape and graphic, some of them are landscape. 
Once he found out there was something like control panel board.   After he grow up, he found out the structure
he saw from the marble ball was almost the same as the structure of the interior of space shuttle.   He did not
tell that to any one else, even if his father.  He gets used to find the answer of everything by himself.
He always know that one day the secret of marble ball will be found out.
Sometimes he lays in bed, image if he is some one else, lives in different country, speaks totally different language,
having different live, what that will be ?   Is his life will be totally different ?  Will be have a mother in different space?
When is man's memory gets started?  People usually think that a baby do not have memory from childhood, but his memory
recall him faintly.  It was was a very deep night, some music sound sent around his cot, then his mother holding him, close the
her chest.  She humed something.  He remember the rhythm, because sometimes he hum the same notes without knowing.
It was a very small piece, but the memory always shake in his head when everytime he tried to remember more.
His brain not able to catch anything.
Then he remember some temperature, the temperature when his mother touches him.  Sometimes, he uses his hand to cover
on his chest , to feel his mother's temperature.  He feels the warm feeling pass though from the chest.
So difficult to explain.
Althought the knowledge of science keep improveing, but it seems there was not certain answer about feelings, about
human's memories.  It seems not correct answer about that.  Human body seems the biggest mystery.  Why human
being has blood, muscle, bones and nerves, and comes with feeling , ablility to think, and power to predict?
Such things are impossible to be understood, or, he does not want to understand.  The only thing he hopes
is the warm feeling will never disappear.
The death of Cloud's mother was totally a mystery.   It was not snowing a lot on the their way home from shopping mall,
not big enought to make the car slipped, that to hit on a pole which is about 15 meters far from the drive way, just like to be
sucked by magnetc. 
Then they always thought he does not remember anything from childhood.
Ma family keep sucking in blank days for one year.   His father lost the ability to live, cannot think , and not able to take care of him.
He was sent to live with a relative, and his father being treated in a nursing home.  Sometimes the relative bring him the
house they used to live,  the grass in the front yard has been very long , the swing has broken,  swimming pool is empty,
the bottom of the pool shows mildews, the house became strange to him.
The year after, his father brough him back to Taiwan.   His father did not want to work for any organization, that he chose to
be a hermit to live in the mountain.
In every important moment, he always buy a marble ball to present his situation.  Like the amber color one, he got
after wining the championship of spelling competition, and the one with snowflake is birthday gift from his mother.
The marble ball he got after first time he riding his bicycle and the flat shape marble he got when he back to Taiwan. 
The crystal marble from his auntie when he was three, and the orange color marble his neighbor Tom sent him.
 He check though the marble balls one by one, watching the clear luster from the marble balls.  Then he falling asleep.
By the time he work up, the marble balls falling everywhere.   He looks for the marble ball right way, some of them rolling
under the bed, he tried to bring them out with tool.   The he heard some sound of da da da past from the underneath of the bed.
Why there is sound from underneath of the bed?  Is this?

children and flying horse Chaptor five Dr. Ma Yang

Cloud Ma sitting on the floor to read the information his father collected.    A big bind is about the theory of time and universe.
The cover of the magazine printed his father's name Dr. Ma Yang.   The article is about the contribution of his father about
time theory, and expressed Dr. Ma Yang is the most expected scienist for Nobelprize.   Cloud Ma felt very funy for seeing
his father's picture,  that he never saw his father wears suit with tie on, that looks so ---- SCHOLAR !   The way his father looks
usually is messy hair , beard, shirt with hole, shorts and boots, doing whatever fishing or hunting, hunting animals for food. 
Whatever he hunts, he let the blood bleed out first, then seperated the body, keep the fur to sale, and meat,too.  When he
seperates the body, he always keep silent and gaze at the animal's eyes.   Then he sings:
My home is somewhere behind the mountain,
Go home, hunter.
the rainbow over the mountain is made of rains,
Rains of mother's tears,
the beautiful mood  is like rainbow
Go home , my child
There is no path to go toward
your home is right beyond
Go home, my child
Don't be afraid and not too sad
Hunter will bring you home
Your home is right over the rainbow

Ma Yang collected the skulls of what he hunted and hang them in front of the house.  He said : "the animal's skulls will protect us
for peace. "
Ma Yang never asked his son's home work.  He always say :"you have your home work and I have mine.  Everybody is got
their own work to do. "  Even thought his father is like this way, Cloud Ma still doing his homework everyday.  While
he was doing his home work, he thought about Sky Wu who is punished today.  Why Sky Wu knows about the secret ?
He thought he was the only one knowing flying horse running from another space, and he was the only one prepared
the super power of seeing the flying horse.   Now Sky Wu has the super power, too.   Nobody believes Sky Wu when he
explained that he really saw the horse flying in the sky.  Only he knewn that was true.
But what is going on here ?  Cloud Ma getting confused.

children and flying horse Chapter Four The boy lives lives in the mountain

Nobody knows where Cloud Ma lives.  Teacher asked the location of his home last semester when he  transferred to this class, but the answer always not clear.    It seems some where in the middle of the mountain.  Everyday he walked to school, score was excellent, always the first place in the class.  He never prepare or study after school, always plays with the wild boys together, swim, water jump, basketball, catch frog to eat in the farm, no matter what they see , rats, lost chicken, coconut, wild boar, all named one thing : food.
The wild boys like Cloud Ma a log, because he is fun , smart,  and share the answer of the test to his classmates.   He always doing his own stuff althought he comes to school everyday, that shcool for him is like a place for killing time.   Sometimes the teacher feel
strange, why such excellent student as him stays in the country side ?  Once the teacher want to punish him when she found out his test book full of drawings, but she stopped, becasue the formula wrote in the text book she cannot understand.   She does not know how to punish a student who is smarter than her, never get into trouble, and always hand in homework on time.   She does not know what to do with him.
Cloud Ma went back  home after played with his classmates for a while.   After saying good bye with the children, he brought out the shcool bag hiding under the tree, put on shoes ready to go home.    His home is somwhere in the mountain about one and half hour far by walking to school.   On the way to school need to pass a stream.  There was a bridge on the stream but has been destroyed after use for ages.    Cloud Ma's fater making a flow cage for transpotation.  Very few people know their house location.
He back home, put the school bag onto closet, then start to clean the house, make up his fater's room.   Some cut paper spread on the floor, it is from the magazines cut by his father.  They have a mail box in the post office down the mountain.  His after usually ride bike to bring the mails including the science magazines and other information to home after a while.   He knows his after keep writing to some scientists.  He does know English, but he knows it is discussion about science.    His faterh used to work in USA, when he was very little,  after his mother past away by car accident, he was brought back to Taiwan, and live in the mountain.
Cloud Ma never went to kindergarten.  His childhood was spent in the mountain.  Everything he knewn was tough by his father. 
But somehow his after told him : "never belive anything from books ".   That's beucase the time of universe is keep moving.
When some knowledge or theory wrote into the books was long time after it happens.   Because the time keep moving, the
truth might be changed during the time, therefore his father said : "investigate the truth".  You know it is truth, but never believe
before you can proof it. If you want to know something about a flower, the correct thing to do is to observe it.  It's like the correct way to get to know a person is to get along with him and to observe him, not to ask from some body else.  Once they dissect a flower
by hisself, and tell him the inside structure of flower.  They spent whole day long to study the flower, then they found out the
smell and color of the flower keep changes during time to time.
"Everything is different" . 
Nobody look exactly the time, not two rats look the same, no two butterflies look the sam,  and not two ants are the same.
Isn't it charming?

children and flying horse Charpter three Flying Horse Appears

Sky rided on his bicycle with confusion full of his mind.   He could not understand why his mother make the decision, besides,
he missed his mother so much.   He did not see his mother for more than six weeks.   The only thing he received from his
mother is the voice from phone.  After a while, he refused to get his mother's call.  When his grandmother calling his
to talk to mother, he just pretending to be busy.   He really misses his mother, but without touching or feeling her,
listening to her voice became so painful.  He'd rather to have nothing.
One thing Sky usually does is to stare outside of the window.  He will watch Geckos on the wall, the insects on the window,
the clouds in the sky, the sun in the cloud, and the.......in the cloud...
He opened his eyes wildly seeing the huge clouds changing the shape, keep changing the shape...at the end, the clouds
became a picture of horses running, then, .... he keep staring the sky, then he sees the horses started to run.
It seems very familiar to him for the horses.   He keeps looking at the clouds, then he found out
one of the horse speed up running toward into the classroom.  The horse keep speep up from sky.
His ears full the sound of the horse's hoof,  da da da da, isn't it the same sound he used to hear
every night ?   The sound of horse hoof so familiar, and now it's real !    He saw the horse running
into the classroom has a horn,  a golden horn, and the horse's body spreads the foggy light around him.
"What I am going to do ?  The horse is coming !"   Sky sees the horse was goind to running into the
classroom.  He shouts :
"Ah...........!  " then he fell domn from the chair.
Shy holding the bicycle on the way hom.  His face was like a sticky egg.  It really pissed him off when
he thought about what happened in the classroom today.  His classmates laughted him very bad, because
he was started by the image of golden horse and fell down from chair.   He was punished to hold a
bucket with water inside to standing in the corner of the classroom.  The whold class laughed him like a zoo.
Especially when he explained his teacher the clouds look like horse.   Nobody believe that horses will
come down from sky with golden foggy light.  The teacher said:
"Sky Wu, in our text book , you will find out Cirrus, Cirro-cumulus, Stratocumulus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus
.  I have not heard flying horse cloud.   You must taking nap in my class !"
Sky standing in the corner of classmate, the water goes into his ears when he not standing well.   He wanted to
wipe it off, but cannot move.   The water spreaded on his face all over anywhere.   He really missed his mother. 
He does not want to stay in this place.  He wantsed to cry, so he cried.   Water mixed with tears together.
He cried because nobody believes him.   He really want to tell truth, but nobody believes him.
There is a boy with glasses turning backward stared at him.  Keep stared at him.

"Cloud Ma , attention ! you answer this question !"  The boy with glasses went to podium to write down the
answer.   He stood on the podium looking into Sky Wu who standing on the back of the classroom.
Nobody knows the things will happened to the eight years old boys.   Something will make big change in
their lives.

children and flying horse Chapter Two Twin ladies

The next day after school, there was a classmate came to the boy and followed him the way home.   The boy felt strange.   The classmate did not talk, just follow his back.   At the end, the boy asks the classmate loudly:

"What you want?”
"Oh, nothing, just want to ask you ...”
"if you want to go to riverside to dabble?"   the classmate look at his face said careful.
"No, I don't.  I can't swim !"
"Oh, that's OK, just for fun !"
"No time! "  then he turned his back.
"But my grandma asked me to play with you"
"I don't even know your grandma ! "   his bicycle has gone.
After he is back to his grand parent' house, he saw the classmate already sitting in the living room
soon after his bicycle is parked.
His grandma said :
"Sky, this is T ,  and this is T's grandma. "
Sky's eyes opened wildly look at the two old ladies.   He was in shock because they almost look the same. 
The only thing different is the wearing, T's grandma wears a pair of  rain boots and working pants and Sky's
grandma were in fabric pants.
"Ha, ha, can you see the difference ?   We are twin sisters"  so grandma has a sister ? " 
"Another day your auntie came to visit us, I just knewn that you are in the same class with T.
What a wonderful coincidence! "
Auntie was riding on a motorcycle wolf 125 with a bunch banana in the back.
"I was just back from the mountain.   I saw T on the way.  So I bring him to see you. "
Auntie walks out to stand at the door to smoke after saying that.
"Is he Yin Yin’s son ? "  grandma knocks her head.
"Nothing in command!  Yin Yin was like a tom boy, why her son looks so pale, and so quiet ?"
"And he cannot swim ! "  T catchs the conversation.
"Can't swim ! no way !  Yin Ying swam very well. "
It is a surprised to Sky, because his mother usually looks very stylish,
he cannot picture she was growing up a wild girl and swim very well.
"what kind of person my mother is ? "  his mind was full of questions
before sleeping.
The next day he asks his grandmother :
"Why my mum sent me here ?  why ? "
"I don't know, either, but somehow we are happy to have you here"
"You got to harry for school, I am going to the farm. "
