In a distant town, Mrs. Bartolotti, a middle-aged woman who takes pleasure in mail-ordering, receives a huge package of canned goods at dusk. The moment the package was opened, a glimmer of light leaked out of it, illuminating the entire room. Out of it crawled out a little boy, he was ** fair, his eyes were bright, like a bright star. He looked around, then turned to Mrs. Bartolotti and called sweetly, "Mommy." ”
This little boy named Conrad is no ordinary human child. He is an artificial child produced from a mysterious factory, a perfect being that has been carefully designed and manufactured. His appearance is impeccable, and his character is beyond reproach. He doesn't tell lies, refuses to do bad things, has excellent academic performance, and is deeply loved by teachers and parents.
However, it was this perfection that made Conrad look out of place in the crowd. He's so good, so good that people are jealous and repulsed. His classmates could not accept such a flawless existence, and they excluded him and isolated him. Only Kitty, a little girl who is not in the same grade as him, sees the loneliness and loneliness behind him and treats him as a good friend.
Conrad grows stronger bonds with Mom, Dad, Kitty and the rest of his friends, his smile brighter and his eyes warmer. However, at this time, the factory that made him sent someone to say that it would take back Conrad, who had been sent to the wrong address. Mrs. Bartolotti was heartbroken, and she couldn't accept the fact, and she decided to come up with a plan to keep Conrad.
Mr. and Mrs. Barr began to teach Conrad to "learn badly". They taught him to lie, taught him to play pranks, taught him how to be a "normal" child. Conrad was a little confused, but he did it anyway. He learned to tell lies, he learned to do bad things, and his grades began to slip. However, his smile became less and less, and his eyes became more and more confused.
When the head of the factory who received Conrad saw Conrad's rude demeanor, they were not happy, but worried. They feared that Conrad's actions would tarnish their company's reputation for producing good children. So, instead of recognizing Conrad as their product, they left Conrad with the Barrs.
However, Conrad is no longer the perfect child. He became rude, he became cold, his heart was full of doubts and pain. He began to doubt his own existence, his own worth. He began to miss the former self, the self that was loved and accepted by everyone.
Mrs. Bartolotti watched Conrad's changes, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness. She realized that she was wrong. She tries to change Conrad, but ignores his feelings and needs. She realized that true love is not to change the other person, but to accept the other person and accept everything about him.
So, Mrs. Bartolotti began to try to understand and accept Conrad. She tells Conrad that no matter what kind of child he is, she will love him and accept him. She tells Conrad that his existence is valuable and that his perfection is not a mistake, but what makes him unique.
With the love and understanding of Mrs. Bartolotti, Conrad began to slowly recover. His smile returned, and his eyes brightened again. He began to rediscover his former self, the self that was loved and accepted by everyone.
And Mrs. Bartolotti learned a lot from the process. She understood the true meaning of love and the importance of acceptance and understanding. She knows that whether it is dealing with children or life, she needs to face it with a tolerant and understanding heart.
The Child in the Can is not only a story about an artificial child, but also a story about love, acceptance, and understanding. It teaches us that everyone is unique and deserves to be accepted and understood. No matter what kind of person or thing we are facing, we should treat it with our hearts and tolerate it with love. Only in this way can we truly understand life, understand human nature, and understand ourselves.
