The origin of sparrow name

Once upon a time, in a remote village, there were two girls, one named sparrow and the other named Xiaomei.

Sparrows are beautiful and clever, but they are exquisite. That smiling plum is ugly and clumsy, which is of no use to those who embroider and sew, but she is excellent at farm work. She is hardworking and honest by nature, and looks silly. Although the sparrow and Xiaomei are not from the same family, they were born on the same day in the same year, so they are very close. When they were teenagers, sparrows went to play with Xiaomei every day, and Xiaomei sent sparrows home after dark. When others saw it, they all made eyes at each other and talked about it in succession. One said, "One is beautiful and lovely, and the other said," Look, how beautiful sparrows are! Fine eyebrows, big eyes, hey, look at Xiaomei, like a dragon, with a big mouth and heavy eyebrows. It's really scary. "

At first, they didn't agree with this, but with the growth of age, Xiaomei gradually felt that she was ugly, a remnant of other people's jokes, not a real plum blossom, and didn't deserve to be with sparrows. So Xiaomei tries to avoid sparrows and not be with her. Sparrow, naturally happy to hear others' praise, but her friend was very wronged, and she couldn't bear it, so she stopped looking for Xiaomei. Although they no longer play together often, their friendship has not disappeared. A few years have passed, and both of them have become big girls. Sparrows are more and more handsome, and Xiaomei is more and more ugly. The custom of "men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older" is no exception in this small village. More and more people propose to the sparrow, but the sparrow never nods, and there are many people who propose to Xiaomei, but I don't know why Xiaomei never agrees.

One day, Miss Sparrow came to the Woods in the west of the village and embroidered a sweat towel. It turned out that she fell in love with a young man named Shan Ge in the village. Shan Ge is big and handsome, and she is deeply attracted by him. But I'm a girl and I can't tell my parents. She came up with an idea and went to the woods in the west of the village, waiting for the farmer Shan Ge to propose, and bought many silk embroidered sweat towels as gifts for Shan Ge. Sparrows are sitting under a big tree, embroidering and sweating. She didn't wipe it, but she kept embroidering it. Suddenly, she heard a song coming from the west. She looked for it. Ah! She froze-I saw handsome Shan Ge coming with ugly Xiaomei and carrying a hoe, talking and laughing. She quickly hid behind a tree, only to hear Shan Ge say, "Smile Mei, don't delay any longer, promise me."

"No, Shan Ge, I don't look good. You'd better find another one. "

"Smile mei, what's wrong with you! My mother praises you every day. She is kind-hearted and diligent. What if she looks ugly? "

"Aunt kua I love me. Don't get me wrong, Shan Ge. "

"Ah, you ... I ... you, you misunderstood, I like you, not my mother called me ... it was me, ah, you ..." Shan Ge was in a hurry and incoherent. Xiaomei smiled faintly: "Shan Ge, you see how beautiful and clever this sparrow is. You might as well marry her. " "No, Xiaomei, sparrows are good, but they are too delicate, and peasant girls can only embroider and can't do farm work. I don't like her. " The sparrow hiding behind the tree is almost crying. So people don't like me! But why? Ah-she remembered: No wonder Xiaomei often works for her paralyzed mother in Shan Ge, ah! What's wrong! Suck up to someone's mother and pretend ... hum! The more the sparrow thinks about it, the angrier it gets. Turn and leave.

For several nights, the sparrow didn't sleep well. She was unwilling: With my looks and my skills, what is better than her smile? Hum! She ruined my day! But she thought, no, Xiao Mei is not that kind of person. She is too good and kind ... What is kindness? Push me down! She's angry again.

Similarly, Xiao Mei didn't sleep well these days. Although she didn't know that the sparrow loved Shan Ge, she always felt that she was not worthy of her. Of course she likes Shan Ge, but ... Oh, it's so annoying. She remembered the ridicule of the villagers again. What will others say if she marries him? ... Shan Ge? There is also a fierce ideological struggle, sparrows, both beautiful and smart, but delicate. Xiaomei is diligent and honest, but she is too ugly. Marry Xiaomei, she can take good care of my mother, but what about sparrows? No, you can't marry her. The person you love should work hard, not be a sissy. Yes, his wife must be very hardworking, so he decided to marry Xiaomei.

This is news! Shan Ge is going to marry that ugly girl! Only ingenious sparrows in the village can be worthy of Brother Shang, and only handsome and tall Shan Ge can marry sparrows, but Xiaomei, she is ... very capable, but in any case, she is not worthy of Brother Shang! Sparrows also heard about it. She listened to people's comments and looked at the proud faces of Xiaomei and Shan Ge. She's crazy! No, I can't let her take away my happiness. I want to kill someone ... her heart trembles at the thought of the word "kill" After all, she is two girls! Besides, Xiao Mei is her best sister. How could I have the heart to kill her But if you don't get rid of her, you won't achieve your goal. Kill! She thought, with or without her!

The next day, it was the day when Shan Ge and Xiao Mei worshipped heaven and earth. That night, the sparrow came outside the bridal chamber and blew a lamp inside. She patted the window and called, "Smile Mei, Smile Mei, come out." Zheng Xiaomei and Shan Ge were immersed in joy. When they heard someone calling their names, they quickly got dressed and went outside: "Sister Sparrow, it's you!" " The sparrow pretends to be mysterious and says, "Little sister, I have something to tell you. Let's go. " As she spoke, she pulled Xiaomei out of the door. On the west side of the gate is a bottomless mountain stream. The sparrow took Xiaomei to the edge of the cliff and looked around. No one was there. She reached out to push Xiaomei off the cliff. Suddenly, she said, "Stop it!" A strong hand grabbed her arm, and she and Xiaomei looked back at the same time. Oh, Shan Ge! To be honest, Mei didn't understand what was going on until now. It never occurred to her that a sparrow as close as a brother and sister would hurt her. She choked back her anger and asked the sparrow, "What are you doing?" Shan Ge angrily off the sparrow's arm, holding the smile mei, two people looked at the sparrow contemptuously. The sparrow froze, and for an instant, shame, injustice, regret and fear came to mind. She stepped back step by step and kept saying, "Go away, I want to go home, I want to go back ..." Before she finished, the sparrow fell into the bottomless mountain stream. Shan Ge and Xiaomei exclaimed to pull the sparrow, but it was already late, so they had to stare blankly below. After a while, a bird flew from the mountain stream, screaming "home, home" and flew away. People say this bird is a sparrow, so they call it a sparrow. This is the origin of sparrows.
