The coach was not satisfied with the movement of my grappling and holding players, and I told you that I had spent a lot of time on that oak tree!

Later, one day, something happened that changed this qiē!

"The Vulture Lady has written a letter to Lady Dragon," Father Bear recounted, "and ask her to go to the Land of Jiao and help her build a magnificent palace out of cheese!"

"Did Ms. Long help her build it, Daddy?"

"Yes, she built it for her! Oh, what a great palace it was! There were a thousand rooms in the palace, and everything in the palace was made of dark or light cheese!

The bricks are cheese, the brick clay is cheese, the windows are cheese, all the walls and ceilings are made of cheese, of course, the carpets, paintings, furniture and beds are also made of cheese, and when you open the water in the bathroom, it gushes out hot cheese!

"When the qiē was finished, the dragon lady said to the vulture king, 'However, I have to warn you that this qiē will not last long, so it is best that you start eating them now!

"'Nonsense!' cried the queen in a loud voice, 'I'm not going to eat my palace!'

"Needless to say, Ms. Long's words are right, because not long after, one day, the sun was scorching, the weather was very hot, and the whole palace began to melt and slowly collapse, but at this time this whimsical queen was napping in the living room, and when she woke up, she found herself floating in a big lake of sticky red cheese!"

Little Ben sat motionless on the edge of the bed, staring at his father with round eyes, his face radiant!

She asked, "You're not lying to me, are you, is this qiē all true?"

"It's all true!" replied the four old men in a loud voice, "It's true!

"I'm going to tell you one more thing, and that's true," Papa Bear said, as he leaned forward closer to Ben, his voice lowered into a soft, mysterious whisper, "Never—no one—from there—out〗∑dǐng〗∑diǎn〗∑小〗∑ said, .⊙.o↑s_(); Been here!"

"Where did you come from?" asked Stupid!

"No one has ever been there!"

"Where have you been?" cried Stupid!

"Zhou Bo's castle, of course!"

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm talking about those processors, stupid!"

"Processor?"

"All the castles have a great deal of workers in the morning and a lot of workers in the evening -- but not in Zhoubo's castle! Have you ever seen a man go in -- or come out?"

Little Clumsy's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the four old men one by one, and they looked at her too!

The old people all had friendly smiles on their faces! At the same time, they were very serious, without a hint of joking or fooling people!

"How's it going, have you seen it?" asked Papa Bear!

"I—I really don't know, Daddy," replied clumsily, "and the door always seemed closed when I walked past that castle!"

"Exactly!" said Papa Bear!

"But somebody should work there—"

"No one, stupid! No ordinary people anyway!"

"And who is it?" asked Clumsy exclaimed!

"Ahh

Mrs. Anne then cried out, "Stupid, dear, it's time to go to bed!

"But Mom, I must listen—"

"Tomorrow, baby—"

"Alright," said Papa Bear, "I'll tell you the rest to-morrow night!"

I had just picked up my meal in the dining room and walked over and sat next to Cuckoo Sweet!

I don't want to say it, but she's the only half-baked friend I've ever had at school, and it feels good to sit with her! She doesn't pay attention to me most of the time, she chats with other people! I used to sit with the players, but they seem like I'm invisible or something! At least Cuckoo?

But after a while, I started to notice that the other guy was showing up as well, and he started to make fun of me and say things like "Stupid is okay?"

Tian Tian told the guy to shut up, but he took a bottle of fresh milk and poured it on my lap, and I jumped up and went out, because I was terrified!

After about a day, the guy stopped me in the hallway and said he would "catch" me!

I was scared all day, and that afternoon I walked out of the classroom to go to the gym, but he came up to me and pushed me on the shoulder, called me "nerd" and so on, and he punched me in the stomach!

The punch didn't hurt very much, but I started crying, and I turned and ran, and I heard him following and someone else chasing me! I ran to the gym with all my might, over the baseball practice field, and suddenly I saw the big head coach sitting in the stands, looking at me!

After a while, he walked into the cloakroom with a piece of paper with three tactics on it—three —— told me to memorize as much as I could!

When he practiced that afternoon, he split all the players into two teams! All of a sudden, the quarterback passed the ball to me, and I was supposed to run along the outside of the right end of the line to the iron goalpost!

They all started chasing me, and I immediately ran as fast as I could—I flashed past seven or eight people before they pounced on me! The big-headed coach was very happy; he jumped and yelled, and slapped everyone on the back! We ran many times before, and we tried to see how fast I could run, but I ran much faster when I was chased, I guess! Which one wouldn't?

Anyway, I was much more popular after that, and the players started to treat me better! I was terrified of the first game, but when they passed the ball to me, I ran as hard as I could, two or three touchdowns, and everybody was better to me than ever!

That high school really turned things around my life, and even made me like to run with the ball, but they mostly told me to run around the sideline because I still couldn't break through the wall in the center and knock people down! One of the thugs said I was the biggest high school quarterback in the world! I don't think he was complimenting me!

Other than that, I made a lot of progress with Miss Fairy Rain! She gave me The Adventures of Tarzan and two other books, the titles of which I can't remember! I took them home and read them all, but then she gave me a quiz and I didn't get very good grades! But I did like them!

After a while, I sat down next to the cuckoo at the restaurant, and it didn't happen again for a while, but then one day, in the spring, I came home from school, and the guy who poured milk on my lap and forced me to come back appeared!

Some people were watching, and Cuckoo was there, and I was about to retreat - but I don't understand why, I didn't do that!

The guy poked me in the stomach with a stick, and I said to myself, "it, I grabbed his arm, and with the other hand he put his brain on the iron door, and it solved the problem in one fell swoop, so to speak!"

That night my mom got a call from the guy's parents saying that if I touched their son again, they would call the police and "lock me up"!

I tried my best to explain to my mom, and she said she understood, but I could tell she was worried! She told me because I was too big now, and I had to watch out for myself, because I might hurt others! I promised never to hurt anyone! I was lying in bed that night and heard her crying alone in her room!

However, the incident with that guy's head completely changed my view of playing!

On the third day, I asked the coach to let me dribble the ball directly, and he said yes, and I knocked down four or five guys in one go, broke through the siege, and they got up and chased me again!

I was selected to the All-State Baseball Stars that year! I couldn't believe it! On my birthday, my mom gave me two pairs of socks and a new shirt!

She did save some money and bought me a new suit to wear to receive the All-State Baseball Award, which was my first suit in my life!

Mom put on my tie and I set off!

The next night, Papa Bear continued to tell his story!

"You know, stupid," he said, "and it wasn't that long ago that there were thousands of processors at work in Miss Dragon's castle!"

But one day, Ms. Long had to ask all the processors to leave! No one was left, they all went home, and never came back to work!"

"Why is that?" asked Stupid!

"Because there's a secret agent!"

"Agent?"

"Yes, you see, all the other cheesemakers are starting to get jealous of Lady Dragon, and when they get to the castle, they start sending spies to steal Lady Dragon's mysterious recipe!

These spies disguised themselves as ordinary processors and worked in Zhou Bo's castle, and when they got to the castle! Each agent discovered the exact method of making a special variety of candy!"

"And did they go back to their castle and tell the story?"

"It must always be like that," replied Daddy Bear, "because it wasn't long before Banana's Castle made a cone that wouldn't melt in the hot sun, and then Pumpkin Lady's Castle introduced a chewing gum whose fragrance never faded no matter how long you chew it!"

Then Lady Red Bean's castle began to produce the kind of candy balloons that could blow up very big! And then this and that kind of candy was produced! Lady Dragon pulled her long hair and roared, "It's terrible! I'm going to be ruined! There are spies everywhere! I'm going to shut down this castle!"

"But she certainly didn't!" said Stupid!

"Oh no, she did!" she said to all the processors, and even though she was sorry, she had to ask them all to go home!

After that, she closed all the castle doors and locked them tightly with crystal chains!

Suddenly, Zhou Bo's sprawling cheese castle became silent, deserted and deserted! The chimneys stopped smoking, the booing of the machine disappeared, and after that, not a single piece of cheese or candy was ever produced!

No one came in or out, and even Ms. Long was completely gone—

"Month after month has passed," continued Papa Bear, "but the castle is still closed!"

All the people said, 'Poor lady Long, she is so good, she has made such wonderful things, but now she is finished, and everything is gone!'

One morning, a faint wisp of white smoke rose from the castle's tall chimneys!

The inhabitants of the city stopped and watched intently!

'What's going on!' muttered to them!' 'Someone has made a furnace!' Lady Dragon must be ready to work again!' Everyone ran to the castle gate to see the castle door open, and Lady Long stood there welcoming her processors back to work!

"No! The doors are still locked, the crystal chain hangs there without fail, and there is no figure of Lady Long anywhere!

"'But the castle is indeed under construction!' shouted the people!

'Listen!' It was the sound of the machine, and they were shushing again! and they could smell the melted cheese!'"

Papa Bear leaned forward, rested a slender finger on his clumsy knee, and said gently, "Stupid, but the most amazing thing is the figures reflected in the castle window!"

Standing on the street outside the castle, you can see many small black shadows swaying in the frosted crystal windows!"

"Whose shadow is that?" asked Stupid quickly!

"That's exactly what everyone wants to know!"

"'The castle is full of processors!' and the people shouted again!'

"But there is no doubt about it," said Daddy Bear, "the castle has begun! It hasn't stopped producing since then, and it's been ten years now!"

What's even more remarkable is that the cheese and sweets produced by the castle are always the most wonderful and delicious!

Of course, now that Ms. Long has created a new kind of particularly delicious cheese, whether it is a banana lady, a pumpkin lady, or a red bean lady, she can't make zuò in the same way, and the secret agent can no longer enter the castle and steal the new variety of zuò making method!"

"Daddy," asked Clumsy in a loud voice, "and who exactly does Lady Dragon hire to work in the castle?"

"Nobody knows, stupid!"

"Isn't that weird! Hasn't anyone asked Ms. Long?"

"No one ever saw her again! She never came out! All that came out of there was all kinds of cheese and sweets, which were written to be sent to the ground, neatly stacked and came out of a special trapdoor on the wall, and were carried away by a convoy of the post office every day!"

"Dad, who's working there?"

"My dear child," replied Papa Bear, "is one of the greatest mysteries of cheesemaking!

The shadows that appeared behind the window from time to time, especially at night when the lights were on, were very small people, not more than my knees—" (To be continued.) )
