Ce sera tout ? Avez-vous trouvé votre bonheur ?

In this story, an hourglass named Timer comes alive and is able to time travel. This is Part 5 of 6.  

Waking up at 5am, his most precious time of day when his genius flows like a mighty waterfall, Henry looked out his laboratory window and saw a magic moment: a baby chick was hatching from its egg. This was a sign, today Henry would complete his greatest invention. 

It looked like a simple household object, fairly inconspicuous, except for its futuristic black appearance. It had two chambers, one on the top and one on the bottom; the bottom was filled with yellow sand. They were connected by a narrow passage in which the sand flowed through. If an ordinary person had seen it, they would have believed it was an ordinary hourglass. 

But there was nothing ordinary about this hourglass. It was Henry’s latest attempt at engineering a time machine. 

Henry poured the remaining yellow sand into the top chamber and watched it fall to the bottom. He then tightly attached its cap. Taking a step back, Henry was overwhelmed with both exhilaration and trepidation. At that moment, a strong gust of wind came in through an open-window and scattered several documents across the floor. 

Henry flipped the hourglass and watched the yellow grains of sand travel through the narrow passage. As they hit the bottom, the grains changed to dark red. Henry looked out the window and saw the proud rising sun, a symbol of a new day. He watched as it slowly went back behind the mountains. He watched as the scattered documents flew up onto his desk and organized themselves as they previous were. He saw the baby chick return to its egg and the egg reassembled itself. 

Finally, the last grain of sand hit the bottom. Henry had traveled thirty minutes back in time.

盤古開天

很久很久以前，天空和地球之間一片混沌。在這混沌中，有一位名叫盤古的巨人。他身穿一件黑色的長袍，手拿著一把巨大的斧頭。盤古的眼神充滿了智慧和力量。

盤古看到混沌的局面，決定要開天闢地。他揮起斧頭，用力砍向混沌。斧頭劈砍下去，發出震耳欲聾的聲音。經過九天九夜的努力，終於，混沌被盤古劈開了。

當混沌分開時，輕而上浮的是一片無邊無際的天空，重而下沈的則是一片廣闊的大地。天空中，盤古留下了一個個閃亮的星星，它們成為了後來的太陽、月亮和星辰。

盤古站在地上，感受到了無盡的力量。他開始成為了世界的中心，把自己的生命和靈魂融入了大地之中。他的眼淚變成了大海，他的汗水變成了江河湖泊。

隨著時間的流逝，盤古的身體逐漸化為了山川和土地。他的頭髮和鬍鬚變成了森林和草原。他的骨骼化作了高山和峽谷。

盤古開天闢地的故事告訴我們，一切都有一個開始。在混沌中，我們可以發現無限的可能性。只要我們有創造力、勇氣和智慧，就能開創出美麗的世界。
