In order to mourn the Lidice massacre of June 10, 1942 and all the children who died in the war around the world, to oppose the torture and poisoning of children, and to protect children's rights, in November 1949, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a meeting of its board of directors in Moscow, at which representatives of China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes of the imperialists and reactionaries in various countries in killing and poisoning children.

At this meeting, it was decided that 1 June of each year should be designated as International Children's Day.
It is a festival established to protect the rights of children in all countries of the world to survival, health care, education, and custody, to improve the lives of children, and to oppose the abuse and poisoning of children. Over the years, many people have forgotten the reason for the establishment of Children's Day, but the meaning of this festival has been well inherited, every year on Children's Day, children are the only protagonists, most of the adults will put down their busy work, devote themselves to accompany their children, to meet the requirements of children -
On this day, toys sell well.
On this day, the playground is lively.
On this day, the air was filled with the sweet smell of lollipops.
There was a lot of laughter and laughter on this day, and even the fairy tales in major bookstores were more popular than usual, especially one of the new works called "The Little Prince", which was snapped up by countless adults and bought back as a Children's Day gift for children.
It was like this at first.
The adults bought "The Little Prince" as a Children's Day gift for the children.
In the eyes of adults, Luoyang, who wrote "The Fairy Tale King", Luoyang, which was evaluated by the World Fairy Tale Association as "the world's first fairy tale writer", will not disappoint with the new book.
This also led to the fact that the first day of sales of "The Little Prince" was very tight!
In fact, some bookstores had to face the situation of being out of stock, and urgently asked the publishing company for additional orders.
In fact, children do like this "The Little Prince", there are stories, and there are illustrations, which coincide with some of the characteristics of children, but the degree of this liking is far less than that of "The Fairy Tale King"-
"It's not as good as "Fairy Tale King". ”
Jerry's son dropped half of "The Little Prince" and reopened "The Fairy Tale King", which he had already watched three times.
Jerry looked at his son's reaction, thought slightly, and dialed Tom's phone: "Hey, man, I'm sorry to tell you, my son doesn't like "The Little Prince", this time it's your turn to treat, don't deny it!"
As mentioned earlier, Jerry and Tom are a pair of good friends who love and kill each other.
Last time, Jerry and Tom made a bet around "Fairy Tale King", and as a result, the sales of "Fairy Tale King" exploded, and Luoyang became the first person in the world to become a fairy tale, and even suppressed Jerry's favorite Theking teacher fiercely.
Although he lost, Jerry was not convinced.
It happened that Luoyang Liuyi released a new work "The Little Prince", and Jerry made a bet with Tom again.
The content of this bet is whether the popularity of "The Little Prince" can be compared to "The Fairy Tale King", and it just so happens that Random House is still the company responsible for the publication of "The Little Prince", so Tom agreed without much hesitation - Tom's trust in Luoyang can be compared to Jerry's love for Theking.
"Do you really see it that way?"
On the other end of the phone, Tom's tone was unhurried.
Jerry, who is bent on winning back a game, can no longer care about the impact of the success or failure of "The Little Prince" on the company, he is determined: "The children's aesthetics are almost the same, and the fairy tales that my son doesn't like, other children won't like either." ”
The argument seems unassailable.
The children's aesthetic is basically the same, they all like lollipops, they all like toys, they all like amusement parks, they all like "Fairy Tale King", so ......
My own children don't like "The Little Prince", and most of the other children don't like it either.
On the other end of the phone, Tom sighed, "Jerry, you have once again committed a taboo in our industry. ”
Jerry was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what Tom meant, indeed, the most taboo thing about being an editor is to make a conclusion without reading the story, last time he had already committed a taboo, and without reading "Fairy Tale King", he threatened that the introduction of "Fairy Tale King" would lose money, and as a result, Tom Ding was miserable......
Oh, a slap in the face by Tom.
His face turned red, and Jerry snorted: "How do you know that I haven't read this "The Little Prince", let me tell you, this book, I have already read it, and it is really not very well written......"
"Have you really seen it?"
Tom's tone had an elusive smile in his tone.
Jerry stubbornly said: "Of course I've read it, this fairy tale, not much, the level can only be said to be average, although occasionally some places are quite eye-catching, but it can't hide the lack of its overall quality, especially compared with "Fairy Tale King", its boring will be highlighted, the level of regression, as a reader can also obviously feel the ......"
As a professional editor, Jerry is good at this kind of jack-of-all-trades commentary.
At first glance, it seems that the reviews are comprehensive, one by one, serious and careful, as if you have really read the book, and even have a certain amount of research, however, Jerry is an editor, and Tom is also an editor, so he is naturally familiar with this set of panacea reviews, after all, this kind of panacea-style commentary is a necessary skill for every editor.
So, Tom said seriously, "Jerry, I'm sure you haven't seen it. ”
Jerry touched his head and couldn't pretend anymore: "Well, I really haven't watched it, why are you so sure I haven't watched "The Little Prince"?"
Tom said confidently: "Because people who have really watched "The Little Prince" will not react so blandly, and what else is said that "The Little Prince" is a work of Luoyang's regressive level, Jerry, I have to tell you, this statement is too ridiculous, I suggest, you should watch "The Little Prince" first, and then prepare to have a dinner, such a work, it's a pity not to watch it." ”
After saying that, Tom hung up the phone with a "beep".
Jerry, who was hung up, muttered a retelling of Tom's words: Don't read it, it's a pity?
As a friend who loves and kills each other, Jerry rarely hears Tom speak so highly of a work, and besides, it is still a fairy tale work.
Turning his gaze to "The Little Prince", which was thrown aside by his son, Jerry finally reached out and picked it up, he wanted to see what made Tom so confident about this "Little Prince".
