At this time, Uncle Feng passed by here, and the dandelion seeds shouted in unison: "Uncle Feng, please blow on us, let our little umbrella open and fly!"

Uncle Feng was willing to help. He puffed up his mouth and blew on the dandelion seeds. With a sound, the umbrellas of the seeds opened and they flew into the sky.

"Goodbye, mother! Goodbye!" cried the little paratroopers.
