Why does Xiaoming want three feathers?

Because Xiao Ming once heard his grandmother say: three feathers of different colors stick together, and then on the night when a meteor crosses the sky, a wish can come true. Xiaoming was admitted to a famous junior high school through his own efforts. His father gave him three feathers of different colors. In the last year of junior high school, in order not to disappoint his father, he made a wish with these three feathers: I wish I could be admitted to an ideal high school, so he got the second feather from his father. As usual, he proudly promised that he could be admitted to a good university. Then everyone knew that dad looked at Xiaoming and told him that the story of feather was actually a story made up by grandma. You are admitted to the ideal school because of your own efforts, not by feathers! Father took out the feathers that had already been prepared for Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming held his father in tears and said, I don't want to die. It was a long time before the doctor calmed him down with an anesthetic. The next day Xiaoming slept quietly, and the nurse found Xiaoming dead. When Xiao Ming died, he still clung to the three feather heads given by his father and looked up at the sky as if expecting a meteor to cross the sky. Every year on his son's birthday, the father will put three feathers of different colors in front of his son's grave to show his condolences.
