Short story seventeen

There is a village postman named Sivalle. He runs from village to village every day, delivering letters to everyone. Everyone likes this enthusiastic and dedicated person very much. One day, when he was walking on a rugged mountain road, he suddenly tripped over a stone. Rubbing his sore knees, Sivalle found that the stone that tripped him looked strange. So, he picked up this stone, looked around and liked it more and more.

Because he likes it, he puts the stone in his package. People in the village were surprised to find that there was a stone in his heavy package besides the letter. So the villagers kindly reminded the postman: "throw away the stone, there are so many roads to go, and this stone is a big burden!" " "

After hearing this, the postman held the stone high in his hand and said with some ostentation, "Look, has anyone seen such a beautiful stone?" I don't want to throw it away. "

Everyone laughed when he said this: "This kind of stone mountain is everywhere, enough for you to pick up for a lifetime!" " "Although it was a joke, the postman who came home looked at these stones and thought repeatedly," How beautiful it would be if a castle could be built with so many beautiful stones! "

With this in mind, the postman couldn't help picking up this beautiful stone when he saw it on the way to deliver the letter. Soon, many beautiful stones were collected, but the number of castles was far from enough. From that day on, the postman began to push the wheelbarrow to deliver letters every day. In this way, whenever he meets a favorite stone, he can easily pick it up, put it on a unicycle and pull it home.

Since then, the postman has never lived a leisurely life: during the day, he is a postman and a stone carrier, and at night, he becomes a designer-he has been building castles he wants to see according to his wild imagination. Everyone looks at him like this and feels incredible. They even think he has a brain problem. However, the postman is still doing what he wants to do as always.

Twenty years later, in the remote residence of this ordinary rural postman, many castles with different styles appeared: halal, Christian and Indian. The locals all know that there is a paranoid and silent postman who is playing a game like a child building a sand castle. No one understands the postman's practice.

Until 1905, a reporter from a newspaper in Boston, USA, stumbled upon this castle group. He was amazed by the scenery here, the pattern and style of the castle. So he immediately wrote an article about Sivall and his castle and published it. Who knows, when the news came out, Sivalle quickly became the focus of attention. Many people have visited it, even Picasso, the most famous master at that time, made a special trip to visit his building.

When Sival built the castle, he carved many words on the stone wall, which are still clearly visible today. One of the words was engraved on a stone at the entrance to the castle: "I want to know.
