The badger's gift.
Excerpts from parent-child reading
The badger is a reliable and trustworthy friend, always willing to help everyone. But he was old, old enough to know almost everything, old enough to know that he was dying. Badgers are not afraid of death. Death, simply means that he left his body, and the badger doesn't care. Because as the years passed, his body had long since stopped obeying. He was just worried about how his friends would feel after he was gone. In order to prepare them, the badger told them that one day in the near future, he would go to the long tunnel below, and when the day came, he hoped that they would not be too sad.
One day, as the badger watched the mole and the frog race down the hill, he felt very old and tired. He wanted to run with them, but he knew his old legs couldn't run. He looked at the mole and the frog for a long time, sharing the joy of his friends.
He came home late, and he said goodnight to the moon, then closed the curtains and shut out the cold world. He walked slowly deeper underground, where a warm fire was waiting for him.
He had dinner and sat at his desk to write letters. After writing the letter, he sat down in a rocking chair by the fire. He swayed gently to and fro, and soon fell asleep, and he had a strange but beautiful dream, not at all like the one he had ever had. To the badger's surprise, he was running. There was a long, long tunnel ahead of him. He felt that his legs were very strong, and he ran steadily towards the tunnel. He no longer needed crutches, and he threw it to the floor of the tunnel.
The badger ran as fast as he could, faster and faster through the long tunnel, and finally, his claws left the ground. He felt like he was churning, spinning, going up and down, stumbling, but not hurt. He felt free, as if he had been detached from his body. The fox reported sad news that the badger had died, and he read the badger's letter to his house. The letter was written simply: "I'm going to the long tunnel below, goodbye." ”
All animals love badgers, and everyone is very sad. Especially the mole, he is very lost, lonely, and sad. That night, the mole was in the bed, thinking about the badger all the time. Tears ran down his velvety nose, and the blanket he clung to was soaked.
It's starting to snow outside. Winter came, and soon, the thick snow buried the animals' homes. For the next few months, they spend the winter in the warmth and comfort of their homes. The snow covered the countryside, but it could not hide the sadness of his friends.
The badger is always there when others need him. Now that he's gone, the animals don't know what to do. The badger said he hoped they wouldn't be upset, but it was really hard.
Spring is coming, and the animals often visit each other, often talking about the days when the badgers were still alive. The mole was very good at using scissors, and he talked about how the badger had taught him how to cut out a long string of moles from a piece of origami. That day, he cut a paper mole all over the ground. Eventually, he cut out a long string of hand-in-hand moles, and he said he remembered the joy he felt.
Frog is a master skater. He recalls how, with the help of a badger, he took his first steps in skiing on the ice. The badger graciously led him to slide until he dared to skate on his own. The fox remembered that he had always been bad at wearing a tie when he was a child, and that it was the badger who had taught him. Put the wide end from right to left, circle it from behind, then pull it up, then down through the mouth of the bow tie, grasp the thin end, and push the bow tie around the neck. Now, the fox wears all kinds of bow ties, some of which he invented.
All the animals have a special memory of badgers – something he taught them, and they are doing a great job now. The badger leaves a parting gift for each of its friends that they can cherish forever.
One warm spring day, the mole walked up the hillside where he had last seen the badger, and he wanted to thank the badger for the parting gift he had given him.
Thank you, badger. He said softly, believing the badger could hear.
Yes, badgers will definitely hear.
Reading insights
The story stretches from autumn to winter, and from winter to spring, and is a sobering reminder of the meaning and continuity of life. The badger taught the animals a lot of things, but also left a lot of good memories, although the badger's life is over, but the love he brings to everyone will always remain in the hearts of friends, this is the badger's gift. Both we and our children should think about what gift I can leave to someone I loveWhat gift do I want to leave to the world?
We should have a grateful heart, thank relatives and friends for helping each other, so that this love can be passed on in our hearts and will be more and more.
