Side Story 3: Snoopy's Cherry Blossom Rain
🌻 Grandmother Lola's narration
Although I am a little nervous about the epidemic, all life and services are still normal, although almost 500 cases have been confirmed, but everyone still does not take it seriously.
No one expected that on March 15, the third day of Snoopy's first seven days, the total number of confirmed cases in the United States had reached 3,500, and 63 people died.
New York State immediately became the worst part of the pandemic, and it was unbelievable that New York's Long Island would become a top priority.
New York State has arranged public school holidays, can it be locked down? Lockdown means sealing Manhattan. I don't think it's possible, this is the metropolis of the world!
I bought the mask home and took a few photos of the orange cat Carl, and he wore it for more than ten minutes and felt quite adaptable; Pippi the parrot can't be worn, the beak is too pointy, the size of a bird's head, and the children's masks are too big.
Pippi listened to Tiffany's mother say that the **** is very sick, and the old man is infected, and he almost can't live......
Even if the treatment is good, there will be sequelae, and the only way to wait for the vaccine trial is successful...... In addition, spitting, breathing...... are contagious.
When Pippi heard this, he didn't dare to go for a walk with me anymore, because he couldn't wear a mask, and he could live for decades!
Ambulances on Long Island rang from time to time, and because there were so many people living here who worked in Manhattan's financial institutions, so many people were infected.
When I went out for a walk in the afternoon, I saw that the flowers of the pear trees had finished falling, as if I saw Snoopy rolling on the broken flowers on the ground, and my eyes were blurred by the tears that welled up......
It's cherry blossom season...... I passed by under the cherry blossom tree, plucked one, it looks elegant, refined, holy, charming, and a little melancholy.
Give this blooming cherry blossom to Snoopy...... This cherry blossom that belonged to her, she really didn't wait for the flowers to bloom, and she didn't see the crazy epidemic spreading around the world.
This small cherry blossom, the pink and white petals are so light, with goose-yellow stamens, so pure, the petals have a network of meridians, scattered like tree branches, there is an inexplicable beauty.
Gently caressing the petals with your hands, like caressing Snoopy's shiny and smooth fur, like caressing silk, so soft, so delicate, as if it would break when touched, because it is so delicate, as light and transparent as cicada wings, people can't help but want to have it forever.
Looking ahead, all the cherry blossom trees were already open, and a breeze blew, and the petals of the trees fell to the ground.
This is a veritable cherry blossom rain, is it really a cherry blossom rain for my dog Snoopy?
Snoopy, I'm trying not to miss you, but when I see the trees and lawns you smell, I seem to see you again.
Your mother said you especially like spring; But when spring came, you were gone...... The cherry blossoms you like are all in bloom, and they can't see you and are crying for you.
Then, none of us could have imagined that as of today, more than 4 million cases have been confirmed in the United States, and nearly 150,000 people have died.
All the spring flowers and rain are weeping for these dead souls...... Snoopy, you're not alone.
I walk every day on the path you led me on, looking at the trees you used to love and the lawn you used to love......
