Chapter 4 Attending school

The tortoise has grown a lot. Xiaoxiao doesn't love to play tricks on it anymore. When you're in a good mood, Xiaoxiao always carries it with you.

Turtle is fascinated by all kinds of appliances in the house. He likes the oven in the kitchen, and the bread baked is fragrant, and it turns out that the slices of bread he eats every day are baked out of this. The turtle saw his smiling grandfather bake bread with his own eyes.

Turtles and turtles also like to watch TV with Xiaoxiao, the world is full of wonders, the world in TV is different from Xiaoxiao's home, there are forests, oceans, deserts, grasslands, and all kinds of animals.

"The world is so big!" The turtle sighed, looking at the stars through the Hubble telescope in the smiling bedroom, and felt small for the first time.

"Little turtle turtle, I really envy you!" Xiaoxiao tapped his legs and said in frustration.

The turtle lying on the Hubble telescope looked back at Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao had a dejected look on his face again. Although the turtle knows that it is indeed an unfortunate thing for humans not to be able to walk, but even if they can't walk, they can still move freely, as long as they want to go, they can go anywhere in the world, and losing their legs is not a big deal compared to losing their freedom, how can the owner envy a pet.

"I envy you for having a healthy body, as well as your parents." Xiaoxiao looked up at the night sky, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The turtle had never seen a smiling father and mother, and it couldn't help but ask:

"What about your mom and dad?"

"They died in an earthquake, and my leg was injured in that earthquake."

It's a really heavy topic. Without parents and losing his legs, Kameki thought to himself, he would definitely be as sad as Xiaoxiao. It felt the pain of laughing and laughing, silently accompanied him to look up at the vast starry sky, and suddenly remembered a poem in his mind, it looked at the moon and spit out the first line of life philosophy:

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, maybe this is the normal state of life!"

Turtles and turtles have a super memory since childhood, and can always inadvertently remember many meaningful things. Every time Xiaoxiao was learning ancient poetry, it remembered it after listening to it once, and even Xiaoxiao and Grandpa were amazed.

Xiaoxiao saw that the turtle turtle looked pretending to be deep, and forgot his sadness for a while, and couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Tortoise, you are so smart, if you were a human being, you would definitely be a doctor in the future!"

Knowing that the Doctor was a very learned man, the turtle replied unconvinced:

"When I go to school, maybe I can become a doctorate!"

"Yes, yes, we may be the first Dr. Tortoise!"

The turtle grows up day by day, and finally reaches the age of going to school.

These days, mom and dad talk about their children's schooling.

"Going to school?" Turtle and his brother and sister gathered around curiously.

"Yes, pet school, you need to go there and learn some survival skills."

A pet school is a school that specializes in providing pets to learn how to get along with humans. When they reach a certain age, pet owners will personally send their pets to pet schools for closed training for three months. But Xiaoxiao was in a wheelchair, worried that others would laugh at him and laugh at the turtle, so he had to be sent by his grandfather to take the turtle and turtle to school.

The shuttle bus from the pet school came, and before leaving, Xiaoxiao repeatedly instructed:

"Turtle turtle, there are a lot of large pets in the pet school, don't fight with them, if they bully you, you just say, just say that your owner is the famous Chen Xiaoxiao! Don't tell me your nickname at school, people will laugh at you! Think you're a naΓ―ve baby, and your scientific name is Arctic, which is a unique name! ”

Although Xiaoxiao has made fun of turtles, he doesn't want others to make fun of his pets. was ridiculed in public, laughing and laughing was enough, originally he wanted to go to school like other children, but because he was in a wheelchair, every time he went to school, even if others didn't laugh at him, they looked at him with a pair of monster eyes, which made him feel like he had a thorn on his body, and he was uncomfortable, so he simply stayed at home and didn't go to school.

The turtle thought it was really funny when it looked at Xiaoxiao's serious appearance, this was the first time it had heard its owner mention his name Chen Xiaoxiao, or to scare others. The turtle waved nonchalantly to the worried smile and mother of the turtle, in fact, the turtle is bold, although this is the first time it has left home, but it is calmer than its older siblings, and it is not afraid of any monsters at school, but it is still a little looking forward to something interesting happening in the school.

Turtle and her brother and sister said goodbye to their parents and owners, and came to the pet school together on the pet shuttle.

There are a lot of animals in the school, and different animals are taught in different classes. One of the most important courses is the language class, where pets must learn human language, not only to understand the words of their owners, but also to understand the words of human society and learn to communicate with humans. In addition, there are etiquette classes to teach pets to learn the earth's civilization, because in recent years, pets have been pampered in the owner's house, and their health is getting worse and worse, which has brought a lot of trouble to the owner, so the pet school has added physical education classes to help pets exercise. There is also a science course that teaches pets to apply various scientific and technological products of human society, which can better adapt to the life of human society.

The language teacher in the turtle class is a fat turtle with wide-rimmed glasses. It says solemnly in fluent Mandarin:

"My name is Sahn, and I'm your language teacher."

The tortoise frowned, it remembered that its father had mentioned the name, and Sarn meant dazzling.

The fat turtle stared at the turtle from under the frame of his glasses, and asked slowly:

"What's your name?"

"Tortoise!"

The turtle was thinking about how the fat turtle had taken Sarn's name, and when he was asked by the teacher, he answered his nickname without thinking, and the whole class burst into laughter.

"Turtle is a nickname, you have to say your big name!" Brother Proswan reminded in a whisper from behind.

The turtle is clearly not used to his name. It thought for a moment and quickly corrected it:

"Oh, my name is Arctic!" As a result, everyone burst into laughter again.

"Haha, Arctic tortoise!" A small, brightly colored turtle slapped the table and smiled.

The turtle thought to himself that the North Pole is so funny, smiled and said that the North Pole is a particularly wonderful place, they have seen the ice and snow world of the Arctic on TV together, as well as the mysterious and beautiful aurora, and think that the name of the North Pole is actually not bad, everyone does not understand the North Pole, so they are prejudiced against the North Pole, and the turtle is thinking about explaining to them well, but they heard the sound of Teacher Sahn stopping:

"Brazil! You can't laugh at someone else's name! ”

"Mockery", is this mockery? The turtle himself doesn't care at all, and his mother said, "The mouth grows on someone else, so you can say whatever you like!" ”

However, the turtle was very curious about the name of Teacher Sahn, and couldn't help asking:

"Why are you called Sarn?"

"Dear Arctic, you have to call 'you' to your teachers and elders, this is the etiquette of human society. As for Sahn, this is the name given to me by my master, who is a diplomat who knows several languages, and who wants me to shine in this life. However, this name did not bring me any benefit when I was a child, but because of my awkward mouth, I was often nicknamed "spoiled" and "Ah En". Later, I traveled to many countries with my master, learned four languages, became a professional turtle, and now everyone thinks my name is very good, and I have come up with a special meaning for this name: beautiful sun. It's not really the name, it's how you make your name shine! ”

The turtle turtle liked the name, and also liked the explanation of the name by Mr. Sahn, the beautiful sun, the turtle began to have a crush on the fat turtle, but it was immediately attracted by another question:

"Professional tortoise? What is Occupation? ”

"Arctic, you are really a little turtle who loves to ask questions, the profession is a job we are engaged in, just like I am a teacher, specializing in teaching you language, there are many professions in human society, doctors treat people, police maintain order, drivers drive for people, scientists change the world, etc., pets have to be taken care of by the owner of our lives, but most of our professional turtles can be self-reliant, and even take care of the owner's life, but to become a professional turtle, it is not so easy, excellent animals can engage in human occupation. If I weren't proficient in human languages, I wouldn't be your language teacher. ”

The turtle is a turtle that loves to think, and it is also a turtle that loves to ask questions. One problem always leads to more problems. He wanted to continue to ask, but Teacher Sarn did not want his class time to be taken up by the curious turtle, so he returned to the podium and said loudly:

"As the saying goes, turtles have turtle language, and birds have bird language, but pets have to learn human language to survive in human society. It is strictly forbidden to communicate in animal language in pet schools, and if they are discovered, they will be severely punished. ”

"What punishment?" Turtle couldn't help but ask his own question again.

"Pets don't speak human language and are treated like uneducated strays. If you are caught communicating in animal language at school, you are required to run three laps in the sun, and most importantly, all pet school students will see you look embarrassed. ”

When the turtle heard these severe punishments, he immediately put his head into the turtle shell, which was really terrible, if all the animals saw that they were punished, it would hurt their self-esteem too much, as a turtle that loves to think, dignity is more important than life.

Mr. Sarn is very strict with the tortoise students, not only to be able to communicate in human language, but also to be able to understand human writing.

"If you want to make yourself smarter, it's better to let your eyes learn to read these words, I don't want you to leave your master and not even find your way home."

"If you don't want to do nothing all your life and want to see the world, then it's best to be able to master three languages."

"Three languages?" The students' mouths widened to learn that it was not easy for pets to master three languages.

"Don't think it's a difficult thing, people have always thought that we turtles are naturally timid and shrunk our heads, but in fact, the horses of Seon are not blessed."

"What does that mean?" The big-eyed turtle at the same table asked.

"It's an idiom, which means that bad things become good things." Turtle explained. Turtle's father would tell him an idiom story every day when he was still in an eggshell, and it was because of these idiom stories that the turtle learned a lot of human language before going to school.

"Let me tell you a secret of my study, when I study, I retract my head into the turtle shell, and my mind is free of distractions, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary interference from the outside world, and I can learn quickly. Learn one more language, skills are not pressing, even if you change the owner in the future, you can adapt. ”

"Change of master? Can the owner still be changed? ”

Teacher Sahn looked at this turtle who liked to break the casserole and ask the end, nodded and replied:

"Why not? According to the principle of equality in the Pet Agreement, humans can choose their pets, and pets can also choose their owners. This equal right has been earned by generations of pets to prevent owners from abusing their pets. ”

Turtle Turtle had heard of the "Pet Agreement", but it still had a lot of doubts about choosing an owner, but before he could ask, Mr. Sarn said that the class was over.
