On the Pond
白居易
小娃撑小艇
偷采白莲回
不解藏踪迹
浮萍一道开
xiǎo wá chēng xiǎo tǐng
tōu cǎi bái lián huí
bù jiě cáng zòng jì
fú píng yī dào kāi
小娃撑小艇，偷采白莲回。不解藏踪迹，浮萍一道开。
Childhood charm—tracks visible on duckweed.
白居易《池上》：小娃撑小艇——偷采白莲的童趣，结尾「浮萍一道开」把行踪写轻。可与《小池》并读。童趣把行踪写轻，世界仍认真。今日：允许生活里留一点无害的「偷闲」。
Bai Juyi’s On the Pond: a child poles a tiny boat—stolen white lotuses; floating weeds open a trail. Pair with Small Pond. Today: allow a harmless “stolen idle” in the week.
有些「破绽」很可爱——不必事事伪装完美。
Some “flaws” are charming—you need not perform perfection.
Read first, then practice — fill in lines and write a character.
