Children's Ancient Poetry Story —— Ikebukuro (Adapted)

Luoyang in July is full of the fragrance of lotus flowers. In the pond, large and small lotus leaves are covered with water layer by layer.

The green lotus leaves are dotted with red lotus flowers. The wind blows gently, and the lotus leaves hold up the flexible and huge leaves, revealing beautiful lotus flowers. In the middle of the soft petals, white and round lotus seeds protrude from the big and round lotus.

July is the season to enjoy lotus and the busy season for lotus pickers. Every morning, before the sun rises, people living by the river row boats on the green lake. Soon, the boat was full of green lotus flowers. Late in the morning, adults will collect lotus seeds and prepare to go to the market for sale.

Looking at baskets of heavy lotus seeds and lotus seeds, adults can't help but be overjoyed. They went over to greet everyone who visited. Fresh lotus seeds are very popular, and there are many people around each lotus picker's booth.

Adults are busy, but children are anxious and envious. Every time adults row boats in the pond to pick lotus, the children can only look at the shore and look at it eagerly. They watched mom and dad's boat paddle into the pond, and soon the pond was covered with thick lotus leaves. After a while, I saw my mother beside a lotus flower, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with lotus leaves and out of sight. Gee, this is really as interesting as hide-and-seek

The next morning, a child named Xiaowa went out with his parents and wanted to pick lotus flowers with them. But his mother rushed him back: "No, it's too dangerous for you to go, so just stay at home." By the way, remember to give the fresh lotus seeds on the table to Grandpa Bai next door. "

"Oh, I see." Xiaowa bowed her head and went back.

This grandpa Bai, named Bai Juyi, moved here last year. According to adults, Grandpa Bai is not only a poet, but also a great official deeply loved by the people. After retirement, he moved here to live. Although he doesn't have to deal with busy official business, Grandpa Bai is always busy. He likes to walk around and chat with people here. He will try his best to help anyone who is in trouble, so the neighbors like Grandpa Bai very much.

After handing the lotus seeds to Grandpa Bai, Xiaowa went home to play by herself.

At noon, the scorching sun, Xiaowa's parents tired for a long time, are taking a nap. Seeing that there was no one around the pond, the baby ran, untied the rope on the boat and jumped on the boat with a "yo yo". Then, like his father, he propped up a bamboo pole and rowed the boat to the middle of the pond.

Finally came to this green place, the baby was nervous and excited. He paddled the boat and moved forward carefully.

Although the sun scorched the earth, it didn't feel very hot on the water. The baby walked through the lotus leaf, like walking into a "water forest".

Long flower diameter, set up a lotus leaf, hold up handfuls of green umbrellas on the baby's head to keep out the sun for him. The baby looked up and saw the lotus leaf shining in the sun. It's really beautiful and lovely. Between the lotus leaves, there are large and small lotus flowers, each of which is beautiful. The little baby looked at this flower and smelled that flower, and unconsciously forgot what he wanted to do.

A little dragonfly is resting on the lotus in the middle of the lotus. It looked down at the lotus seed, as if to say "delicious".

The baby also saw the dragonfly and paddled the boat quietly close. The little dragonfly touched the baby, flew up in surprise and landed on another lotus flower. The baby stared at the dragonfly and rowed the boat slowly. This time, the baby didn't disturb the dragonfly, so he could watch it quietly for a while.

Through the dragonfly, Xiaowa suddenly saw a white-bearded grandfather sitting under the willow tree on the shore. He wiped his eyes and looked again, ah! Isn't that Grandpa Bai? If he finds out I'm sneaking here to play, it'll be terrible!

What shall we do? Xiaowa patted her head with her hand, and she understood! He took off a lotus leaf and buckled it on his head as if he were wearing a hat.

"Ha ha, I'm so smart!" The little baby proudly said to herself, remembering what she was going to do in the pond.

The baby hurriedly picked off some lotus leaves, bent down and rowed away without looking back.

Besides, grandpa Bai on the shore. He was sitting under a tree to enjoy the cool, but suddenly he looked up and saw the little baby. He was thinking happily that someone was chatting with him, so he wanted to call Xiaowa, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared again, only to see a lotus leaf hanging upside down and moving rapidly in the pond.

Bai Juyi stood up curiously and looked down the trace of "Lotus Leaf". Oh! The little guy hurriedly slipped away, thinking that he would not be found. I didn't expect the duckweed on the water to be washed away by a ship, exposing his "escape route" to the unobstructed view.

Looking at Xiaowa's masterpiece left on the water, Bai Juyi couldn't help laughing, guessing Xiaowa's triumphant smile when she slipped away.

Who hasn't had an innocent and romantic childhood, who hasn't done stupid things like "being smart" and who hasn't thought about "exploring" Childhood is really like a dandelion. Every petal hides a wonderful idea. When the wind blows, the petals will fly and go to another place to realize their dreams. I wish my baby could always be so free and try all her wishes.

Thinking about thinking, Xiaowa appeared naughty in Bai Juyi's new poem:

The little baby holds the boat,

Steal Bai Lianhua back.

Don't understand the trace,

Duckweed blooms together.
