Little walnut joke

I found a small walnut in the luggage packed by my mother, which is only one third as big as usual. Then I remembered a story from a long time ago, the story in the book.

That was when I was very young. I just learned to read, not much. But I always like to find all kinds of books to read. A playmate's father is a middle school teacher and there are many good books at home. In order to achieve a certain goal, I always like to go around his house when I have something to do, and often take a book to read. When you meet a word you don't know, open the dictionary on their desk, understand it, and then look down.

One day, I saw a beautiful story. Since then, my life has become colorful, at least I think so. The story is related to a small walnut. It is said that when a child was young, a child always liked to go out to play with his brother and friends. That summer, under a walnut tree, he found a walnut leaf that said, "Please pick the smallest walnut on the tree!" " "The handwriting is a little scrawled. Just when all the brothers thought it was a prank, he stubbornly thought it must be a magical thing. So he pestered his brothers to pick him many walnuts. He picked them one by one and finally found the smallest walnut. Nothing special except that it is very small.

And the protagonist "I" still believes in miracles. Summer has passed, and the small walnut has shed its green skin and exposed its hard shell. I also went to school and played with that walnut every day. Until one day, when I was tossing up and down, I accidentally dropped it on the ground. Then a miracle really happened. At the moment when the walnut was broken, a white smoke came out and a beautiful fairy appeared. She told me that she was blocked by a witch in the smallest walnut, so she asked a caterpillar to write those words on the leaves. As long as someone opens the walnut, she will be saved. Then she complained that I didn't open the walnuts earlier. At last she said, "Do you want me to be your friend or your wife?" "I" thought about it and said daughter-in-law. She said yes, I'll come back for you when you grow up. Then she disappeared. At the end of the story, "I" have grown up, still waiting with hope, waiting. ...

This is really a romantic story. I think I should have a feeling called romance at that time. Why else would I be so obsessed with such a story? So that after more than ten years, I can still remember every detail of this story, a beautiful story and a persistent wait.

After reading that story, I also began to have a crush on walnuts. In summer, I always look up at the green walnuts mixed in the dense leaves under the walnut tree. I just thought, there should be such a small walnut that I will find it, and there is a beautiful little fairy daughter in it, hehe, it's really beautiful. Like a fairy tale, beautiful and charming.

Later, my friend gave me the book reluctantly, at the cost of my pestering me and losing some popsicles. It's just that one day I got hot-headed and donated the book with this story to the school library. I don't know where I am now, whether I have been turned over by another person many times, and I was moved by this little story. I think people nowadays will scoff at it. As a story for entertainment only, I actually read a lot of yearning and beauty.

Maybe the book is long gone, and the story is blowing in the wind. Ten years later, I still remember the magic walnut, the little fairy daughter inside, and the scrawled caterpillar. I remember that hot summer, a little boy's stubbornness won him some of the best memories.

Dear friends, when one day, you are lucky enough to pass by a walnut tree, you can delay for a while and look for a leaf with words written on it, which will tell you what to look for in the tree. If you have enough patience, maybe you can really harvest an equally beautiful story. The fairy will say, "Wait, I will come back to be your daughter-in-law in ten years ..." So, you just have to wait and wait for her to come again. And when you face every small walnut, you will always think of her, even when you knock on walnuts, you will be careful. I am afraid that I will accidentally hurt my little fairy daughter who is sealed in walnuts. Maybe the damn witch has locked her in a walnut again, waiting for you to save her. Ha ha. Like the love between a prince and a princess.

Therefore, every walnut seems to contain an expectation. I rubbed the small walnut with my hand. Its hard shell is rough in texture. I tapped lightly. "Fairy, are you in there?" I have been waiting for you for a long time ... "Maybe you have been waiting for me for a long time. ...
