Chapter 26: The Death of the Pigeon
One day, Faith was out playing with his friends, and when they passed by a field, they found a pigeon in the field, limping in the field to feed, apparently, it was injured.
Seeing this, he immediately came to his senses, and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that there is pigeon soup to drink tonight." ”
The thief retorted: "What's so delicious about pigeon soup, braised pigeon is delicious!" ”
Ruthless was not happy when he heard it, and the thief actually went against him, and said angrily: "It depends on who can catch it, and whoever can call the shots!" Then he chased after the pigeon.
Seeing this, the thief was not to be outdone, and joined in the pigeon hunting.
Ambition also wanted to join in the fun, but was persuaded by ambition. I only listened to the ambition explained: "Although the pigeon has a foot injury, it has wings, and I think the ruthless and thief will not be able to catch it for a while." As soon as Ambition heard it, he felt that it made sense, so he stood on the ridge with Ambition and Confidence to watch the ruthless and thief performances.
As expected, the pigeon saw that it was menacing, and immediately flapped its wings and flew forward, but because of a foot injury, it was forced to stop before it could fly far. Seeing this, the thief went around the path to the front of the pigeon, and formed a circle with ruthlessness. This caused the pigeon to look left and right in a panic, and it limped into a nearby haystack. Seeing this, the ruthless and the thief pounced on the haystack in unison, but the pigeon had already seen the opportunity to get out of the haystack and let them pounce in the air.
The thief had a good heart, and he had a ruthless heart to pave the way for him, and he was not hurt; The ruthlessness is miserable, and the thief is pressed hard to gnaw the straw at the bottom. This made him feel very angry, and he used all his strength to knock down the thief's heart that was pressing on his back, and then stood up viciously.
He spat out the straw in his mouth and began to pursue the pigeon, and just as he was about to catch it, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew forward in a panic, landing not far from the feet of confidence. Seeing this, Confidence seized the opportunity and rushed forward quickly, holding the pigeon firmly in his hand before he reacted.
When they saw this, they cast envious glances at faith. Confidence carefully examined the pigeon's foot and learned that it had been wounded by an arrow. At this time, the thief rushed up happily and said, "It seems that my braised pigeon has fallen." ”
Confidence was immediately denied: "No, the braised pigeon is not delicious." ”
When he heard this, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Then make it into pigeon soup!" It's delicious. After speaking, he stretched out his tongue and slid it on his mouth, looking like he had an endless aftertaste.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Confidence, but he only listened to Confidence and said: "No, this pigeon is too thin, and it is not enough for us to make pigeon soup for a few points." ”
When Ambition heard this, he interjected and asked, "Then what are you going to do with it?" ”
Faith replied: "Doves are a symbol of peace, and we cannot kill them casually." This pigeon had an arrow wound on his foot and I wanted to take it home to recuperate, and when it was free to walk and fly, I would release it back into the wild. ”
This made Ambition very stunned, and said, "No, are you crazy?" You still want to release the pigeon in your mouth, don't you want us to starve? ”
Ruthless followed the words of ambition, and shouted loudly: "I think you want to take the pigeon for yourself, so you have found such an excuse to fool us!" ”
Confidence disagreed: "Whatever you say, I caught the pigeon anyway, so I have the final say." ”
Seeing this, Ambition said: "I also heard you say just now that whoever catches the pigeon can be the master, and now that I have the confidence to take the pigeon back for recuperation, then follow him."
When the thief heard this, he helplessly said to the ruthless heart: "Alas! You and I tossed around blindly for a long time, but in the end it was confidence that benefited, and it was really in vain. ”
But Faith didn't pay any attention to what he said, and took the pigeon in his hand, said goodbye to his companions, and went home. At first, the pigeon struggled a little restlessly in his hands, and from time to time pecked his hands with its hard beak, hoping to break free from the hands of faith, but in vain. When it realized that Faith had no ill will towards it, it slowly became docile, curled up in Faith's hands, squinted its eyes and snoozed.
After a while, the confidence came to the door of the house, and just as he wanted to push the door and walk in, he suddenly remembered that his mother had said, "I don't allow you to raise small animals at home, for fear that your playthings will be discouraged and not enterprising." This forced him to take his hand back, and thought to himself, "No, I have to find a way to convince my mother." ”
So, he stamped back and forth at the door, meditating on what to do with his mother. Finally, he plucked up the courage and gently pushed open the gate, put the pigeon behind it and covered it with a bamboo basket, and when everything was in order, he went to his mother to ask him to adopt the pigeon.
After seeing his mother, Faith told her what had happened, and then begged her: "Mother, will you allow me to adopt this injured pigeon?" ”
The mother replied, "Son, it's not that your mother doesn't love the animals and doesn't let you love the animals, but once you adopt this pigeon, all your energy will be invested in it, and your studies will be wasted." ”
Confidence patted his chest and reassured: "Rest assured, I will never waste any more time on this except to feed it rice for a day, and once the pigeon's feet are back to normal and able to walk and fly freely, I will release it, so that it is always okay, right?" At his begging and pleading, the mother made an exception and agreed to her son's request, and came out with confidence to see the pigeons he had brought.
Confidence was able to convince his mother to let him adopt the pigeon, so he was so happy that he jumped up and down towards the gate. The mother was also happy to see that her son had never been so happy as he was today.
However, happiness is always short-lived, and before they have time to experience the taste of happiness, the scene in front of them makes the face of confidence sink suddenly. I saw that the bamboo basket covering the pigeon had fallen to the side, and the pigeon had disappeared, but there was a big black dog there wiping its mouth inexhaustibly. Faith was furious at this, and chased after the big black dog, but it was too late. Faith has been sad for a long time.
It can be seen that as long as some things are right, you need to have the courage to make a decision on the spot, and you must not be indecisive, and you must act immediately. People who can't make decisions don't have the opportunity to make mistakes, but they also lose the chance to succeed.
