Seven copper coins

Maurize (Hungary)

It is predestined that the poor can laugh. Not only can you hear sobbing and wailing in the hut, but you can also hear heartfelt laughter. It can even be said that poor people often laugh when they want to cry.

I am familiar with that world. My father's Seuss generation experienced the most miserable poverty. At that time, my father did odd jobs in a machine factory. He doesn't brag about that era, and neither do others. But the scene at that time was real. It's true, too. In my later life, I will never laugh as I did in my short childhood. Without my red-faced and happy mother, the mother who smiled so sweetly and finally burst into tears and coughed, how could I laugh?

Once, we spent a whole afternoon looking for seven coppers, and even she never laughed so hard as that time. We searched for the seven copper coins and finally found them. Three were in the sewing machine drawer, one was in the wardrobe, and the others were all found with greater effort.

The first three copper coins were found by my mother alone. She hopes to find some more in the drawer of the sewing machine, because she often does some needlework for others, and the money she earns is always in it. I watched my mother search in the drawer, fumbling among threads, thimbles, scissors, buttons, rags and so on, and suddenly cried out in utter amazement, "It's all hidden!" "She squatted on the floor and put the drawers down, as if afraid that they would fly away. She suddenly turned over the drawer like a butterfly in a hat.

5] Seeing her like that, you can't help laughing. "They are here, inside." She giggled and unhurriedly lifted the drawer. "If there is only one left, it should be here."

I squatted on the ground to see if there were any shiny coins crawling out quietly. However, nothing crawled there. In fact, we don't really believe what will be in it. We looked at each other and thought this kind of child's play was ridiculous.

[6] I felt the overturned drawer. "shh!" My mother warned me, "Be careful, you will run away." You don't know what a flexible animal copper coins are. It will run away soon. It is almost rolling. It can roll very fast ... "We laughed our heads off. We know from experience how easily a copper coin rolls away. ……

Once, however, I had an idea in my heart. "Dear Mom, I know a place where there is a copper coin."

"Where, my child? Let's find it quickly and don't let it melt like snow. "

Levies "In the glass cabinet, in that drawer."

⑽ "Oh, you unlucky child, you didn't say so earlier! Otherwise, it must not be here at this time. " We stood up and walked to the glass cabinet without glass. Luckily, we found copper coins in its drawer, and I knew it must be there. I've been trying to steal for three days, but I dare not. If I dare to steal it, I will use it to buy candy.

⑾ "Well, we already have four coppers. Cheer up, my little baby, we have found more than half, and three more are enough. I can still wash a lot of clothes before dark. Hurry up, maybe there is a copper coin in other drawers. " My mother kept rummaging through every drawer. "Look, this is the most!" She gave a cry with a smile and opened the bottom drawer. She put it around my neck, so we sat on the floor and laughed loudly.

"Stop laughing," she said suddenly. "We will be rich soon. I want to find some from your father's clothes. " There are some nails on the wall with clothes hanging on them. Do you find it strange? My mother reached into her first pocket and immediately touched a copper coin. She could hardly believe her eyes. "Look," she cried, "we found it! How many do we already have? I can't count it! One, two, three, four, five, five! Two more glasses will be enough. What are two copper coins? It's nothing. Since there are five, there is no doubt that the other two will also appear.

She searched for those pockets with great enthusiasm, but, alas, there was no result. She can't find it. No matter how funny the joke is, you can't get the other two copper coins out. Because of excitement and hard work, my mother's face and cheeks have turned red with two flowers. We can't let her work any more, because it will make her ill at once. Night will come soon. My father needs a shirt tomorrow, but we can't wash it well. Water alone can't get rid of oil stains. At this time, my mother patted her forehead. "Oh, how silly I am! I've never looked in my own pocket! Now that I remember it, I'll go and have a look. " She went to see it. Can you believe it? She really found a copper coin there. The sixth. We are all very excited, and now there is only one left.

In the evening, we have six coppers, but we really don't seem to have any. Jews refuse to pay the bill, and our neighbors are as poor as we are, and they are not interested in asking for a copper coin! There is no other way but to laugh at your misfortune from the heart.

At this moment, a beggar came in. He uttered a long lament in a singing tone.

My mother almost fainted from laughing. "Come on, my good man," she said, "I stayed here all afternoon because I need a copper coin. You can't buy half a pound of soap without it. "

Beggar ⒄, a gentle-looking old man, stared at her.

⒅ "A copper coin?" He asked.

Trick "yes"

"I can give you one."

(2 1) "This is not bad, accept a beggar's charity!

It's okay, my girl. I won't be short of this copper coin. "

He put a copper coin in my hand and hobbled away gratefully.

"Oh, thank God," my mother said. "Nothing else …" She paused for a moment, then laughed. "Money comes at the right time! I can't wash any clothes today. It's dark, and there's not even lamp oil! " She laughed too hard to speak. This is a terrible and fatal suffocation. She bent down and buried her face in her palm. When I went to help her, a warm current flowed through my hand.

That's blood, that's my mother's blood, her precious and sacred blood. My mother, even among the poor, few people can laugh like her.
