The birds in the tree are reading.

1. The outstanding feature of this short story is the use of contrast. Please give two examples from the text.

A: ① Twenty-five years ago, my son asked my father about that bird 25 times. My father always answers patiently, and I am glad to have such an opportunity. Today, 25 years later, the father asked his son about the bird, only three times, and his son became impatient.

Patience and impatience

When the father showed his son the diary of 25 years ago, his son suddenly matured. He was ashamed of his father and grateful for his love, and burst into tears. My father smiled with relief when he saw this scene.

Tears streaming down her face, smiling.
