Christians say that man was created by God's own hands. Whether this sentence is right or not, we can say that the scarecrow was made by the farmers themselves. His skeleton is thin bamboo branches in the bamboo garden, and his muscles and skin are yellow straw every other year. Broken bamboo baskets and residual lotus leaves can be used as his hat; The face under the hat is flat, and you can't tell where the nose is and where the eyes are.
He has no fingers in his hand, but he has a broken fan-it's not really a hand, just tied to the handle with a thread and hung on it. His skeleton is very long, with a piece under his foot. The farmer planted this section in the soil in the middle of the field, and he stood there for a day and a night.
Scarecrow is very responsible If you compare the cow with him, the cow is much lazier than him. Sometimes he lies on the ground and looks up at the sky. If you compare the dog with him, the dog is much more naughty than him. Sometimes he runs around so tired that his master doesn't care to look around. He never gets bored, lying like an ox watching the sky; I never play. I run around like a dog.
He looked at the field quietly, and the fan in his hand shook gently, driving away the birds that came to eat the newly harvested ears of rice. He doesn't eat or sleep, even if he doesn't sit down to rest, he always stands there stiffly.
Of course, only the scarecrow knows the scenery and situation in the field at night, and knows the most. He knows how the dew is sprinkled on the grass and how sweet the dew is. He knows how the stars blink and the moon smiles. He knows how quiet the fields are at night and how soundly the flowers and trees sleep.
He knows how bugs look at me, how I look for you, and how butterflies fall in love: in short, he knows everything about the evening. One starry night, he was guarding the field, his fan rocking gently. The new ears of rice are next to each other, and the starlight shines on them, and some of them shine like a layer of water droplets; As long as there is a little wind, the salad will ring loudly.
The scarecrow looked at it and was very happy. He thought that this year's harvest would definitely make his master, a poor old lady, smile. Where has she laughed before? Her husband died eight or nine years ago. She cried when she remembered it, her eyes still red; But also become a problem, easy to cry.
She has only one son and two women, and she has worked hard to plant this field. It took three years to pay her husband's funeral expenses. Unexpectedly, my son got diphtheria and died. She fainted at that time, and then she fell into heartache and often committed crimes. This time, she was left alone. She is old and has no strength, so she has to work hard. After three years, she finally paid off her son's funeral expenses.
But after two years of water, the rice was flooded, either rotten or sprouted. Her tears flowed more, her eyes were hurt, and she couldn't see things in the distance. Her face is wrinkled and looks like a dried orange. Where can she laugh? However, this year's rice is growing well and vigorously, and there is not much rain. It seems to be a bumper harvest.
So the scarecrow is happy for her. I think it's the harvest day, and she sees that the harvested ears of rice are big and full, all of them are her own. Finally, there is no white burden, and the wrinkles on her face will definitely spread out, revealing a gratified and satisfied smile. If there is such a smile, in the eyes of the scarecrow, it is more lovely and precious than the smile of the stars and the moon, because he loves his master.
