Fruit
A bamboo cage the size of a fist hangs on the windowsill, and a green grasshopper crawls uneasily in the cage. From time to time, two thin and long tentacles protrude from the small round hole of the bamboo cage, shaking piteously, as if calling and praying for something.
"Strange, why doesn't it call? I was screaming when I bought it. It's strange ... "A white-haired old man looked at the cage for a long time and said to himself.
The grandson and granddaughter of the old man, two children under 8 years old, are also lying on the windowsill to watch the fresh.
"It can't bark. It must be afraid of strangers." The little girl said.
"Put it in a cage, it's angry!"
The little boy said, reaching out his little hand to pick the cage.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!" The old man hung the cage out of the reach of his little grandson and said, "Don't worry, it will bark!" " "
For a whole day, Guo Guo was silent. Two children also almost forgot.
The next day, the old man took out a bright red sharp red pepper from the vegetable basket, tore it into filaments and stuffed it into a small bamboo cage, saying, "If you eat Chili, it will bark." He was very confident, and the two children were interested again. He watched on the windowsill how Guoguo slowly ate a little red pepper into his stomach.
For a whole day, Guoguo still didn't answer, just stopped climbing up and down in the small cage. In the dead of night, Guoguo suddenly began to cry, and the crying was clear and loud, which woke everyone in the room.
"Did you hear that? It will bark. How nice! " The old man is a little proud.
The two children are sleepy, but they are still dancing and kicking the bed board with joy.
When the fruit is called, it never stops. From morning till night, he tirelessly calls and calls ... It constantly announces its existence to his family with a clear and loud voice. Soon, they got used to it. The voice of the fruit seems to have become a part of this family.
After all, the sound of the fruit is a little too loud. On a sultry night, I couldn't sleep, and finally I complained in the room:
"I'm so bored, I can't help it." It is the child's father who is speaking.
"Dad, why does GuoGuo keep barking?"
The boy asked, but the adults didn't answer. So the two children asked themselves and answered themselves.
"It's probably too hot to sleep, so it's called."
"no! It's crying! How uncomfortable it is to be locked in a cage, it is crying! "
The adults just listened quietly to the comments of the two children. Only the white-haired old man sighed in a voice that only he could hear. ...
I woke up in the morning and couldn't hear the grasshopper. Two children were lying on the windowsill, watching. The small cage was still hanging there, but the fruit inside was gone. ...
"It bit through the cage and ran away." The old man looked out of the window and said to himself.
Make an appreciative comment
1.( 1) It was such an environment at that time that it was too hot to sleep at night. People at that time were inevitably restless, so they complained.
(2) Children's childlike innocence and curiosity make them feel fresh about everything, and when they grow up, they will not have the troubles and pressures of adults. The whole state is relatively relaxed, so the surrounding environment will not affect them.
2. A turquoise slug crawled uneasily in the cage, and two slender tentacles came out from the small round hole of the bamboo cage from time to time and shook piteously, as if calling and praying for something.
As mentioned above, it yearns for freedom. Although I don't know if it really bit its cage and escaped, Grandpa hopes so.
