The fisherman's wife, Sanna, is sitting by the fire mending a broken sail. The cold wind roared outside, and the rough waves beat against the coast and splashed. There is a storm on the sea, and it is dark and cold outside, but this fisherman's hut is warm and comfortable. The ground has been swept clean, the fire in the stove has not been extinguished, and the tableware is shining on the shelf.
On the bed with white curtains, five children fell asleep quietly in the sea breeze. My husband went out to sea in a boat early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Sang Na listened to the roar of the waves and the roar of the wind, feeling jumpy.
The old clock struck dumb ten times, eleven times ... her husband never came back. Sang Na mused: regardless of her health, her husband braved the cold and storm to go fishing. She worked from morning till night, barely filling her stomach. Children have no shoes to wear, running around barefoot in winter and summer; I ate brown bread and only fish.
But, thank God, the children are still healthy. There is nothing to complain about. Sang Na listened to the sound of the storm. "Where is he now? God bless him, save him and have mercy! " She said to herself and drew a cross on her chest.
It's still early for bed. Sauna stood up, wrapped in a thick scarf on her head, and went out with a lantern. She wanted to see if the light on the lighthouse was on and if she could see her husband's boat. Nothing can be seen at sea.
The wind lifted her scarf, rolled up the scraped things and knocked on the door of the neighbor's cabin. Sang Na remembered the sick neighbor he was going to visit in the evening. "Nobody cares about her!" Sang Na thought and knocked on the door. She listened sideways, but no one answered.
"The widow's life is really hard!" Sang Na stood at the door and thought, "Although there are not many children-only two, she went alone, and now she is ill. Alas, the widow's life is really sad! Go in and have a look! "
Sang Na knocked on the door again and again, but no one answered.
"Hey, Simon!" Sang Na let out a cry and thought, unless what's the matter? She flung the door open.
There is no stove in the room, it is wet and cold. Sang Na raised his lantern to see where the patient was. The first thing that caught my eye was a bed facing the door, and her female neighbor was lying on her back. She didn't move. Sang Na held the lantern closer. Yes, it is Simon.
She leaned her head back, her cold and blue face showed the silence of death, and a pale and stiff hand hung on the straw bed as if trying to catch something. Next to the dead mother, two very young children were asleep, both with curly hair and round faces, covered with old clothes, curled up, and their small heads with light yellow hair were tightly close together.
Apparently, when her mother died, she covered them with her own clothes and wrapped their feet with an old headscarf. The children breathed evenly and calmly, and they slept soundly.
Sang Na wrapped the sleeping child in a headscarf and carried it home. Her heart beat so violently that she didn't know why she did it, but she felt she had to. She put two sleeping children on the bed, let them sleep with their own children, and quickly closed the curtains.
Sang Na was pale and excited. She thought nervously, "What will he say? Is this a joke? His five children are enough for him ... is he here? ..... No, not yet! ..... Why did you bring them here? ..... He will hit me! That's what I deserve, I deserve it ... well, beat me up! "
The door creaked as if someone had come in. Sang Na a surprised, stood up from his chair.
"No, no one! God, why would I do that? ..... How can I tell him now? " ..... Sang Na thoughtfully, sitting in front of the bed for a long time.
The door suddenly opened and a fresh sea breeze rushed into the room. The big, black fisherman came in dragging a wet and broken net and said, "Hey, Sang Na, I'm back!" " "
"Oh, it's you!" Sang Na stood up, afraid to lift his eyes to see him.
"Look, such a night! It's terrible! "
"Yes, yes, the weather is terrible! Oh, how about fish? "
"Bad, too bad! Nothing was hit and the net was torn. Bad luck, bad luck! What terrible weather! I can hardly remember when there was such a night, let alone fishing! Thank god, I finally came back alive. ..... What were you doing at home while I was away? "
The fisherman said, dragging the net into the house and sitting by the fire.
"Me?" Sang Na turned pale and said, "I ... miscellaneous things ... the wind roared so fiercely that it was really scary. I am worried about you! "
"Yes, yes," murmured the husband, "this weather is damn it! But what can I do! "
The two men were silent for a while.
"Do you know?" Sang Na said, "Our neighbor Simon is dead."
"oh? When? "
"I don't know, it was probably yesterday. Alas! What a tragic death she died! Both children fell asleep beside her. They are too small ... One can't talk yet, and the other can only crawl ... "Sang Na was silent.
The fisherman frowned and his face became serious and worried. "Well, it's a problem!" He scratched his head and said, "Well, what do you think? We have to bring them here. We can't stay with the dead! Oh, we, we can always get through this! Let's go Don't wait for them to wake up. "
But Sang Na sat still.
"What's the matter with you? Don't think what's wrong with you, Sang Na? "
"Look, here they are." Sang Na opened the curtains.
1. There is a storm at sea. It's dark and cold outside, but it's warm and comfortable in this fisherman's cabin. The ground has been swept clean, the fire in the stove has not been extinguished, and the tableware is shining on the shelf. On the bed with white curtains, five children fell asleep quietly in the sea breeze.
This passage is described in detail around "warmth and comfort". "Warm" is because "the fire in the stove has not been extinguished"; Comfortable because the ground is clean, the tableware is shiny and the five children sleep quietly. All these show that this family is not rich, but just an ordinary fisherman's family, which also implies that Sang Na, a housewife, is hardworking and capable. The author didn't exaggerate to write "warm and comfortable", but wrote it properly, which made us feel authentic after reading it.
2. She thought nervously, "What will he say? Is this a joke? His five children are enough for him ... is he here? ..... No, not yet! ..... Why did you bring them back? ..... He will hit me! I deserve it. I deserve it. ..... Well, give me a beating! "
This paragraph is a description of Sang Na's psychological activities, with five ellipsis. The first ellipsis indicates that Sang Na's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Maybe there was a noise outside the house, which made her mistakenly think that her husband was back. She was shocked and her thoughts were interrupted. The second ellipsis indicates that she calmed down and knew that her husband didn't come back because she was in a bad mood. The third ellipsis indicates that Sang Na has returned to her original idea ── thinking about her husband's adventure in the sea, the hardships of family life, and how to support her seven children in the future ... So she asked herself: "Why did you bring them back?" At this time, her thoughts have changed by leaps and bounds. The fourth ellipsis indicates that Sang Na jumped to her husband from the perspective of questioning himself, and speculated how her husband would blame her when he came back. The fifth ellipsis shows the development process of a series of psychological changes in which Sang Na is ready to be beaten by her husband: she is desperate to save her neighbor's children because she has no choice but to be beaten. These five ellipses truly and accurately show Sang Na's extremely contradictory mentality at that time.
A few days ago, we learned the text "The Poor" by the famous Russian writer Lev. Tolstoy, I was deeply moved by his article.
The main content of this text is: When Sang Na was anxiously waiting for her husband's return at home, he went to visit his neighbor Simon and found that Simon had passed away. Then she adopted her two children and brought them back to her home. But Sang Na was afraid of her husband's disapproval because her family was poor. She was afraid that her husband would beat her when he came home, but she would rather be beaten than put the child back. When her husband came back, Sang Na told her that Simon was dead, so her husband told her.
The sauna family already has five children. I didn't expect her to adopt two more children. From this, I know that saunas are very kind. Moreover, Sang Na would rather be beaten by himself than help others, which also moved me.
If I were Sang Na, I would think: I have five children myself. Why should I adopt two other children? So, I won't do that. However, I didn't expect the sauna artist to be so poor that he would be willing to adopt two children. Two children are two mouths. I couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, thinking: It seems that although the sauna artist is poor, his ambition is not poor, but his heart is not poor. As the saying goes, people are poor and ambitious.
In the future, I will learn from the quality of saunas: I would rather lose myself and help others!
