《盘古开天》
混沌初开，天地未分，宇宙就像一颗巨大的鸡蛋，里面黑漆漆的，啥也看不见。在这颗巨大的“宇宙蛋”里，沉睡着一位巨人——盘古。
盘古可不是一般的巨人，他身高九万里，力大无穷，手里还握着一把金光闪闪的巨斧。他在这颗“蛋”里睡了整整一万八千年，终于有一天，他伸了个懒腰，醒了。
“哎呀，这地方也太挤了吧！”盘古一睁眼，发现周围黑漆漆的，啥也看不见，连个转身的地方都没有。他试着动了动身子，结果“咔嚓”一声，巨斧不小心劈在了“蛋壳”上。
“咦？有门儿！”盘古眼前一亮，干脆抡起巨斧，对着“蛋壳”就是一顿猛劈。只听“轰隆”一声巨响，“蛋壳”裂开了，轻的东西往上飘，变成了天；重的东西往下沉，变成了地。
盘古一看，乐了：“哈哈，这下宽敞多了！” 但是，天和地总是往一起合。盘古怕天地再合上，就干脆站在中间，头顶着天，脚踩着地，像个大柱子一样撑着。
就这样，盘古每天长高一丈，天也跟着升高一丈，地也跟着增厚一丈。盘古就这么撑啊撑，撑了一万八千年，天地终于稳固了，盘古也累得不行了。
“哎，我这辈子也算干了一件大事！”盘古躺在地上，看着自己开辟的天地，心满意足地闭上了眼睛。
盘古死后，他的身体化作了万物：他的呼吸变成了风和云，他的声音变成了雷霆，他的左眼变成了太阳，右眼变成了月亮，他的四肢变成了大地的四极，他的血液变成了江河，他的肌肉变成了田地，他的头发变成了星辰，他的汗毛变成了草木，他的牙齿和骨头变成了金属和石头，他的骨髓变成了珍珠和美玉，他的汗水变成了雨露……
从此，天地间有了光明，有了山川河流，有了花草树木，有了飞禽走兽，有了人类……世界变得五彩缤纷，生机勃勃。
盘古用自己的身体创造了世界，体现了无私奉献的精神。我们要珍惜这个美好的世界。要像盘古的那样，为世界贡献自己的力量。
