This is a poem describing children's life. The poet used his unique popular style to describe the little doll in the poem as very lovely and amiable. The whole poem is like vernacular, but full of charm, which makes people laugh after reading it. ?
In the poem, the poet narrated a little thing in a little doll's life, accurately captured the little doll's instant mood and drew a picture of picking lotus flowers. Summer is coming, and the scenery in the pond near the village is very charming. Green lotus leaves, one after another, one after another.
Like handfuls of big umbrellas, they stay in the water. Snow-white lotus is like a slim fairy, some are in bud, some are in full bloom, some have withered, revealing green lotus buds.
A boy of seven or eight years old, with two bun on his head and wearing a red trousers, skipped out of the house. Attracted by the scene before him, he jumped into a boat happily, untied the rope, picked up the paddle and rowed deep into the pond.
While admiring the beautiful lotus, the little boy picked some lotus leaves and rowed them back. But he didn't know to hide his whereabouts, and the boat washed away the duckweed, leaving a long trail.
This scene was seen by the poet, who wrote a poem with a smile: The little baby propped up the boat and stole the white lotus back. He didn't know how to hide the trail. The duckweed on the water left a boat through the trail.
