In a small town in France, there lived a special little boy named Pierre. Pierre was a bit different from other children. He was extremely fascinated by the imaginative dreams of his little friends around him. Whether it was the dream of flying like a bird or the dream of having a house made of candies, in Pierre's heart, these dreams were like the most precious gems.
He had a small notebook, which was his tool for collecting dreams. Whenever he heard his friends talk about their dreams, he would carefully write them down in the notebook. Pierre believed that every dream was a unique seed with infinite possibilities.
One day, an unhappy merchant came to the town. The merchant always frowned. He thought that making money was the only important thing in life. He had lost his once - held dreams and became very confused. Pierre saw this merchant and had an idea in his mind. He walked up to the merchant, tightly holding his dream - collecting notebook in his hand.
"Sir, you look a bit unhappy," Pierre said cautiously. The merchant looked at the little boy and responded somewhat impatiently. But Pierre didn't flinch. He opened his notebook and began to tell the merchant about the wonderful dreams in it.
As Pierre told about his friends' colorful dreams, the originally cold look in the merchant's eyes began to change. It seemed that he saw himself as a child, who had once had the dream of exploring the end of the world. At that time, he was full of energy and hope. A faint smile gradually appeared on the merchant's face, and something in his heart seemed to be re - kindled.
After that, the merchant no longer just buried himself in making money. He regained his own dreams and began to plan a long - distance journey to see different sceneries around the world. And Pierre was more determined in his decision to collect dreams. He knew that dreams had great value and could make a person who had lost hope cheer up again. He continued to collect all kinds of dreams in the town and shared these dreams with more people in need.
