"Tarzan, slow down!"

The one-year-old boy Tarzan seems to have been learning to walk longer than other children. Tarzan's mother worked tirelessly to follow him, reminding him, encouraging him, and comforting him. The big head makes Tarzan's movements very uncoordinated, staggering, and about to fall at any moment.

"Tarzan, be careful!"

"Tarzan, don't be afraid!"

Falling won't stop Tarzan from taking a step forward, as he has a pair of powerful legs. He walked more and more steadily, and then he started running, faster and faster.

This scene seemed like it was yesterday in the eyes of Taishan's mother. Today, Tarzan is standing in front of the gate of the elementary school, and he is about to become a primary school student.

Parents can only send their children to the gate, and the school says that after the opening ceremony, parents can walk into the teaching building, enter the classroom, and pick up their children. The young female teacher, Tian Ding, was Taishan's homeroom teacher, and she brought Taishan in and lined up in her own class. Teacher Tian Ding looked at Tarzan with a smile and placed him at the end of the line because he was tall. More and more children entered the ranks, he was still the last, until the end he was the last, he was indeed the tallest one. As soon as nine o'clock arrived, Teacher Tian Ding led the team to the classroom.

Mom looked at the background as Tarzan walked with the procession. The newly bought school bag is a bit big, but it will be useful until the third grade, when every child will carry a heavy big school bag. Now it contains only a bottle of water, a handkerchief and a pack of tissues. Mom's eyes moistened, and Tarzan grew up.

The opening ceremony was originally planned to be held on the playground, but the sky suddenly turned dark. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and there were still large masses in the distance to the west, rushing towards the playground, as if they were coming to join in the fun. Principal Zhao Sihua decided to change the plan and let the students sit in their classrooms and listen to the radio, and the opening ceremony took place on the radio.

This is the first opening ceremony in Taishan's life. He will understand this later, every semester, every time. One person speaks, then another speaks, speaks, speaks again, and that's it. There was also a round of applause in the middle. At the first opening ceremony, Tarzan did not pay attention to the speech of the principal and others, he was observing the new environment. Look at your own and others' desks and chairs, look at the blackboard, look at classroom windows and doors.

The first to speak was a leader from above. As he spoke, Tarzan looked out the window at the clouds in the sky. The cloud conjured up a horse and a lion, and the horse was running, its hooves soaring into the air, its mane flowing. The lion is a male lion with long hair on his neck and a huge head. Tarzan thought that the lion might eat the horse.

After the superior leaders finished speaking, Principal Zhao Sihua spoke. Zhao Sihua has been the principal of this primary school for several years, and he was a teacher here. He's quite happy with his elementary school, with his colleagues, with his job. Last year, as an "excellent principal of primary and secondary schools", he participated in a delegation to visit abroad, and after coming back, he felt a lot of dissatisfaction. He felt that his elementary school was too small, the classrooms were too small, the playground was too small, the library was too small, not to mention the high-end equipment such as the swimming pool and basketball hall. Of course, he understands that these are things that he is unable to solve, and can only be extravagant.

When Principal Zhao Sihua spoke, Taishan was still looking at the clouds in the sky. Sure enough, the horse disappeared, and the lion became two. Soon it became three, no, five. Then there were droplets of water hitting the windowpane with a snap. Soon more droplets of water crashed in, and there was a crackling sound on the windowpane. It seems that the principal's decision was very wise.

After President Zhao Sihua finished speaking, the director spoke. At this time, the lion in the sky also disappeared, and the sky became a gray color. Heavy rain is officially here, and the sound of the rain fills the whole world.

The adults didn't pay attention to what the adults said, and Tarzan couldn't understand what it meant. Although it is the same Chinese, he can understand what his parents say and his friends say, but he can't understand many other adults. But he found it interesting to see a lot of people clapping together. At the end of each speech, everyone clapped their hands. Thirty children shot together, and at first they started to shoot their own shots, and soon they felt that they could unite and move together. The louder one acted as the conductor, and everyone followed his rhythm together. Taishan felt that this game was a bit interesting, and if it weren't for Mr. Tian Ding's loud shouting to stop, he would have wanted to keep filming until his little hand hurt.

The boy who clapped his hands the hardest sat on Tarzan's right. He was not tall and thin, and he sat in a chair and kept looking around. He turned his head quickly, like a monkey sitting on a big rock in a zoo. The other children sat there timidly, like Tarzan, trying to stay still. The boy turned and looked at Tarzan with unceremonious eyes.

"My name is Zhang Xiaotro, what's your name?"

Tarzan hesitated for a moment, deciding that now was not the time to speak, but answered him anyway.

"My name is Tarzan. ”

"Tarzan, you're so tall. ”

"Zhang Xiaotrot, be quiet!" said Teacher Tian Ding's voice.

Zhang Xiaotrot stopped talking, and looked out the window with bored eyes. It was raining heavily, and the raindrops hit the windowpane, drawing a rain streak, which had not slipped far before it was caught up and eaten by another rain streak.

There was another reason why Tarzan didn't want to open his mouth to talk to Zhang Xiaotro, he wanted to pee. It could be that I drank too much water on the way to school. He held back for a while, but he didn't want anyone to pay attention to him. Now he blushed and sat there twisting his ass. Zhang Xiaotrot began to pay attention to him again, and he was very good at guessing.

"Do you want to pee?"

Tarzan nodded hesitantly.

Zhang Xiaotrot immediately jumped up and shouted: "Teacher, Tarzan wants to pee!"

Teacher Tian Ding looked at them.

"Go, Tarzan. Do you know where the restrooms are?"

Without waiting for Taishan to answer, Zhang Xiaotrot preemptively said, "Teacher, I know, can I take him there?"

The teacher smiled, "Then you can take him there, and then you have to go back to the classroom immediately, and don't run anywhere else." ”

Zhang Xiaotrot immediately pulled up Mount Tai and ran towards the door, and Teacher Tian Ding hurriedly added an order: "Don't run!"

Ms. Tian Ding is 23 years old this year, which is her second year after graduating from university and the second year of her teaching career. Being a teacher seems to be her destiny, she is not tall, and she has a "baby face". A year ago, when she applied for a teaching position, Principal Zhao Sihua almost immediately agreed. The reason is that her personal image is easy to relate to children. However, Mr. Tian Ding occasionally worries about his appearance, because "baby face" always makes people feel immature enough.

Teacher Tian Ding is not married and lives with her parents. Every day when she came back to her parents from work, she felt that she was just an older child. For those "big truths", compared with elementary school students, I can't understand it very deeply, so I don't have the right to be too strict with children. And she hadn't learned how to make herself look harsh.

The restroom is in the middle of the hallway. Zhang trotted and pulled Tarzan to the door of the bathroom, and then ran back to work. The trot listened to the teacher and did not go anywhere else. But he kept running, running to the door of the classroom before hitting the brakes.

When Taishan walked out of the bathroom, he said silently: "When I see my mother in a while, I must tell her that today I met a good person, his name is Zhang Xiaotro." ”

However, Tarzan soon encountered a second problem on the first day of school, he forgot where his class classroom was. I didn't pay attention to the environment of the corridor when I ran over with Zhang Xiaotrot just now, but now that Zhang Xiaotrot is gone, should he go left or right? At the end of the corridor is a gate. It seems that earlier, he followed the procession through the gate of this building. He remembered that he had not gone far through the gate before turning left and entering his classroom.

The rain hasn't stopped. Tarzan felt a little strange when he walked to the gate, he remembered that they had come in through the playground, which was an empty field with white lines painted on the ground, except for two basketball hoops. But now there are so many things, a pile of bricks and rubble, a pile of paint buckets, a pile of red bricks, a pile of sand next to it, and the rain washes the sand out of a few ditches. The white lines and basketball hoops on the ground were gone, but a few large trees had grown.

Tarzan suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, as if he had been here. Last night he had a nightmare, dreaming that he had gone missing, and had come to a place he didn't know at all, as if it were the place in front of him. In the dream, he was so anxious that he cried until his mother woke him up when she heard the cry. His mother gave him a drink and comforted him in her arms before he fell back to sleep.

Tarzan stood in front of the door in the rain, not understanding how he had walked into the dream again. At this moment, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky overhead, as if a fire was about to start in the sky, and then there was a thunderclap. Frightened Tarzan was completely overthrown, and he stood there with his eyes closed, covered his hands again, and began to weep. While crying, keep repeating: Nightmare go away, nightmare go fast!

There was a voice, hoarse but clear.

"You seem to be in trouble and need help?"

Tarzan heard, but it wasn't his mother's voice.

"Are you crying?"

Tarzan was surprised and forgot his fear for a moment, and looked up, and the voice came from above. But there was no one, and there was no one around.

There was a crow standing on the big poplar tree in front of him, and Tarzan felt as if the crow was looking at him.

"Are you crying?"

Oh my God! The crow was talking to himself. Tarzan stared there with his eyes wide open and his mouth open for a long time, and finally reluctantly replied:

"My name is Tarzan. ”

"Well, hello, Tarzan. I'm Akang the Raven, do you need help?"

"Yes, I can't find my classroom, it's my first day here. ”

"It's easy to do, you just go back to the hallway, go to the door of any classroom, and a teacher will come out to help you and help you get back to your classroom. ”

"Thank you, Raven, goodbye. ”

Tarzan was about to walk back into the building, but he stopped again, looked up at the crow, and said:

"I have one more question. ”

"Say it. ”

"Why are you talking?"

"Because I'm a crow. ”

"How can I understand you?"

"Because you're a kid. ”

Tarzan slowly retreated into the gate, thinking that he was exiting a dream. He wanted to go to his mother's saying that children just love to dream, and every child is.

The raven spoke again:

"Please don't walk backwards, it's dangerous, you don't have eyes on the back of your head. Also, don't tell anyone about what happened to me, no one will believe me. ”

"I won't. If I keep talking about my dreams, people will think I'm stupid, my mother said. ”

Tarzan returned to his classroom and sat down in his seat again. He was a little dazed, and he didn't pay attention to the steady stream of voices on the radio, nor did he pay attention to Zhang Xiaotrot next to him.

As soon as the opening ceremony is over, school is dismissed. Teacher Tian Ding asked the children to put the new books on their desks into their school bags. Parents walked into the school building and into the classroom. They greeted the teacher. Teacher Tian Ding said very carefully:

"It's raining today and the temperature is low, so children are prone to catching colds. Please give them plenty of warm water to drink when they get home, get plenty of rest, and come to school tomorrow full of energy. ”

Tarzan and his mother walked out of the school gate, and the rain had stopped. If you live next to a park like me, you can tell if the rain has stopped even if you don't have to look out the window on a rainy day. As soon as the rain stops, the birds in the forest begin to chirp happily. Birds will seek out branches in the sun, shake their feathers, and throw droplets of water into the air. Stretch your wings and let the sun dry its feathers so it can easily take to the skies.

The air is fresh after the rain, walking on the clean sidewalks, and the birds are singing in your ears. Tarzan suddenly said that he was thirsty, and the water in the cup had been drunk. There was a grocery store not far from the school, and his mother took him in to buy water.

The grocery store is not big, with only a few shelves. Two of them are stocked with several buckets of water and drinks, bread, instant noodles and snacks, and the other shelves are full of stationery, paper, and notebooks of all sizes. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, wearing wide-brimmed short-sighted glasses with thick lenses, and holding an old-fashioned comic book, commonly known as the "villain book", which he looked at with relish. Taishan chose a bottle of "mountain spring" water, and when he brought it to him, he glanced at it:

"Two pieces. ”

His gaze returned to his villain book. The owner of the shop, known as "Lao Li", is named Li Ideal, and his grocery store is not far from the entrance of the primary school, and the main customers are, of course, the children, plus the parents who take their children to and from school. It won't be long before Tarzan and his classmates will get acquainted with this place.

When Tarzan and his mother walked out of Li Ideal's grocery store, the sky was clear, and a rainbow appeared in the sky in the east. There are many places of water on the sidewalk, and the surface of the water reflects a part of the rainbow in the sky. Tarzan loves the rain because he can run out and play in the water after the rain. Treading water and stepping on mud, I don't care if my clothes and pants are splashed with mud, and I am willing to be scolded by my mother. Looking at those small puddles today, Tarzan didn't walk in. Not because my mom is around, but because I feel like I've grown up.

Many people stopped on the road and looked up at the rainbow. Tarzan and his mother were also watching, and then Tarzan said:

"Mom, why should I go to school?"

"Children have to come to school when they reach a certain age. ”

Mom didn't answer his question, and Tarzan thought maybe Mom couldn't tell the question.

"Mom, you know what? School is an amazing place. ”

Hearing this, his mother lowered her head and looked at him curiously.
