Content: Dad placed a snuffbox on the table and said, "Misha, come take a look!" Misha was a well-behaved little boy and immediately put down his toys to walk over to his dad. This was indeed something worth seeing! How beautiful the snuffbox was! A snuffbox made of tortoiseshell with colorful patterns. The lid of the snuffbox was painted with such beautiful pictures! There were city gates, towers, small houses—one, two, three, four, countless small houses, each smaller than the last, all glistening in gold; the trees were also golden, and the leaves shimmered with silver. A red sun rose above the treetops, casting a radiant glow across the sky.
