Digging and digging, WALL · E soon saw an old white refrigerator. He activated a welding beam between his large binocular-like eyes and cut the door down the middle. With a clang, the two pieces of the door fell off the refrigerator. WALL · E looked inside and saw a small green object in a corner. It was sprouting from a pile of dark brown soil. WALL · E gazed at it in wonder. Now, this was something really unusual. He didn’t know why, but he liked it. The object had a stem with flat green ovals hanging from it. Gently, he picked it up. Making sure that it was safely cushioned in its soil, he placed it inside the old boot he’d found earlier. He tucked the object inside his box to examine later.
WALL · E sensed that the green thing was special. What he didn’t know was that it was a plant.
挖呀，挖呀，不久之后瓦力看见一台白色的旧冰箱。他那像双筒望远镜的大眼睛间发射出一道焊接激光，将冰箱门从中间截断变成两片。“当啷”一声，这两片门从冰箱上脱落下来。瓦力向冰箱内看去，只见在角落里有一个小小的绿色物品。它正从一堆深褐色的泥土中抽出芽来。瓦力好奇地盯着它。嗯，这东西真不同寻常。他不知道为什么，但就是喜欢它。这个物品的茎上悬着几个绿色的椭圆薄片。他轻轻将它拿起，确保它被完好地包裹在泥土中，然后将它放在了他之前发现的旧靴子里。他将这个物品收在他的百宝箱里准备以后再查看。
瓦力意识到这个绿色物品很特别。他所不知道的是它是一株植物。
