Chapter 30: Bats with Wings
However, not all losers have collapsed, and many of them are still struggling, even seeking new ways to survive,......
Hard work pays off.
The forest has become a paradise for successful people, who can fly, who can climb trees, and so on.
The forest has become a lecture hall for high talk, a hall for singing and dancing, and a canteen for feasting.
However, there are those who talk loudly, and there are inevitably those who are low-voiced and obscure; there are those who sing and dance to promote peace, and there are inevitably those who are depressed and distracted; there are those who feast on a hearty meal, and there are inevitably those who have coarse tea and light meals, and those who do not have enough to eat.
There are also many animals in the forest, they can neither fly nor climb trees, they are losers, and they are inferior in front of those who succeed. They didn't learn to talk big, they didn't learn to be arrogant, they didn't learn to pick and choose.
Because they haven't even learned the most basic survival skills.
However, not all losers have collapsed, and many of them are still struggling, even seeking new ways to survive, such as moonshine bats and fawns.
The body of the moonlight bat is too thin, although it used to worship the eagle as a teacher to study hard and practice hard, and put a lot of effort, but it just failed to grow a pair of wings, and saw that other animals succeeded one by one, and the heart was very anxious, but what is the effect of being anxious? Ask the eagle, the eagle has no good way, first comforted and encouraged, and then said,
"You might not be able to practice flying, why don't you try climbing a tree?"
The word "unsuitable" sounded so uncomfortable to the moonlight bat, equivalent to words like "stupid" and "imbecile", because since that appearance, he had been confident that he would be able to fly into the blue sky like an eagle.
However, reality is eating away at his self-confidence, and if it passes, it may immediately turn its face, curse a dirty word, and then walk away. As a loser, he no longer has so much confidence, just said,
"Then I'll give it a try. ”
Coming out of the eagle, the moonlight bat thought a lot, although he did not agree with the analysis of the eagle, but it was irrefutable, the facts were in front of him, he may really not be suitable for flying, but after all, flying is his highest ideal, he is unwilling to give up, what can he do if he does not give up?
When someone is holding a watermelon and is proud, there are also people holding a sesame seed and being complacent.
This is the joy of the successful.
The smart and stubborn moonlight bat didn't even get half a sesame seed, and many animals that he didn't care about in the past are now crawling, flying, and even on his head, how can the balance of psychology be balanced?
I had to pick up from the sesame seeds.
In the heart of the moonlight bat, climbing a tree is nothing, and its achievement is just like a sesame seed, but now he has to practice climbing a tree first.
Talking about practice, the moonlight bat gets up early and goes to bed late from now on, and devotes himself to practicing climbing trees.
The stars have changed, I don't know how many days and moons I have practiced, my feet have been ground with thick calluses, and my belly has been grinded thick, but this skill of going up the tree is that I haven't learned home.
The body is too thin, the muscles have not been trained, but the flesh is gone, and it has almost become skin and bones.
The squirrel saw it in his eyes, and he said very sincerely,
"Moonlight bat, if you don't practice climbing pine trees, pine trees may be easier than fruit trees, because its bark is rougher. And I can guide you. ”
"Well, thank you!"
So the moonlight bat began to follow the squirrel to learn to climb the tree, during the day the squirrel taught it the essentials of the tree, to guide the coordination of his movements, at night the moonlight bat will concentrate on the practice under the moonlight, because the night is quiet, no one disturbs, it is the golden time of practice, he is reluctant to sleep, often a practice of an all-nighter, at dawn under the pine tree to sleep a night, when waking up, most of the day has passed, the squirrel threw him a few pine cones, counted as breakfast, hastily finished eating, and began to go to class.
The progress of the moonlight bat was not small, and after a while, he was able to climb some dwarf pine trees, which made him excited, and he decided to attack the bigger ones, no, after dinner, he said to the squirrel,
"Tonight, I must climb this pine tree where you live. ”
"Waiting for your good news. Squirrel said with a smile.
Today's moonlight is extraordinarily bright, and the moonlight bat's mood is also good, and the state is also good, so, in the middle of the night, the moonlight bat is about to climb to the place where the pine tree branches, he thought, anyway, it's still early, let's catch my breath and rest for a while.
He hugged the trunk of the tree tightly on all fours, and simply rested on the tree.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, he quickly fell asleep.
He easily climbed to the top of the canopy, and he was about to reach out to pick pine cones, only to hear a thunderous applause coming from below, and many animals gathered under the tree at some point, they were cheering for the success of the moonlight bat, the moonlight bat was very excited, this kind of scene was unique in his life, he waved his arms to everyone with a smile.
"Look at the moon!" shouted someone else.
Everyone looked to the sky, and the moonlight bat also raised its head to the sky, and the moon today was so big and round, looking at it, the moon turned into a smiling face, smiling at the moonlight bat.
The smiling face actually walked towards the moonlight bat, getting closer and closer, until it turned into a crying face, and smashed straight towards the moonlight bat......
"The moon has fallen, run ......" shouted again.
The moonlight bat subconsciously closed his eyes, only to feel a very heavy thing hit his body, and his limbs were loosened from the tree and fell straight down......
"Ah......h......h
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.
There was really a round shiny thing on his body, and he thought it was really the moon that had fallen, so he was so frightened that he cried out in fright.
The cry woke up the squirrel resting in the tree, and he slipped down the tree with a puff of smoke and asked with concern:
"What's wrong?"
"Oh no, the moon has fallen......" Moonlight Bat didn't even open his eyes, and said with a sad face.
"What nonsense, isn't the moon still in the sky?"
Only then did the moonlight bat open its eyes and look up at the sky, a bright moon hung high in the middle of the sky, and the gentle moonlight caressed the entire forest like a mother's hand.
"The moon hasn't set, so what is this thing on my body?" the moonlight bat was a little confused.
Only then did the squirrel notice that the round and shiny thing on the moonlight bat looked like a shining gem in the moonlight, but this thing was no stranger to the squirrel.
"It's rosin ......"
"What is rosin?"
"It's the tears of the pine tree, maybe you disturbed the sleep of the pine tree, so he shed tears. ”
"Then take it off for me, it's so uncomfortable to stick to your back. The moonlight bat understood that it was not the moon, and the burden in his heart was completely removed, and then he felt that it was very uncomfortable for this thing to stick to his back, so he begged the squirrel to take it off for him quickly.
"I can't take it off......"
"Do I have to carry this thing forever?"
The burden that the moonlight bat has just unloaded is back again, how can it live after carrying such a large piece of rosin?
"Don't be in a hurry," said the squirrel, "and some small insects will never come out when they are wrapped in rosin, and after thousands of years, the rosin that envelops them becomes beautiful amber." ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to turn into amber too. Moonlight Bat said helplessly.
"No," said the squirrel, "the rosin will melt when it is hot, and when it is dawn I will send you to the top of the pine tree, and let the sun melt it, and then you can take it off." ”
As he spoke, the sky began to lighten.
"Bite my tail," said the squirrel, "and let's go up to the tree." ”
The squirrel with the moonlight bat easily climbed to the top of the pine tree. He asked the moonlight bat to stand in the sunny place to bask in the sun, and said things like okay and patient. Then went to do your own thing.
Standing on the top of the tree, bathed in the warm sunlight, the moonlight bat felt very comfortable, this was the first time he felt such warm sunlight. In dense forests, it is difficult to see sunlight on the ground, just like the modern city with high-rise buildings, enjoying the sun has become a very luxurious thing.
The sun was getting higher, and he felt the rosin on his body gradually soften. And it began to melt into his whole body, and the feeling of his body was like taking a hot bath.
He regretted that he hadn't asked the squirrel clearly, and now the squirrel didn't know where it was.
Suddenly a gust of wind rose in the clear sky.
The leaves of an unknown tree blown up by the wind fell on the back of the moonlight bat.
The moonlight bat panicked and hurriedly shook his body, but the leaf was already firmly stuck to his body, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall off.
In a panic, he stumbled and fell from the tree.
"My life is on the line......" he exclaimed.
But the instinct to survive made him move his arms, and unexpectedly, his body soared into the air, and he couldn't turn for a while, was he dreaming again?
No, the sun is shining on the earth, and he believes that he can't see the sun in his dreams, because his dreams are always dark.
However, these thoughts were carried out in an instant, and he swung his arms fiercely, not letting his body fall, and his body was able to fly higher and higher, and it tried to fly far away, but it was so free, as if he could have flown in the first place.
He was shuttling back and forth in the forest, and when he was tired of flying, he fell to the ground, and then he carefully observed his body, and it turned out that his back and limbs had become one with the leaf, and the leaf had become a part of his body, at least now he had become one with it, and it was with this leaf that he flew up.
The moonlight bat will fly in the forest caused a lot of shock, everyone rushed to watch the moonlight bat flight show, for a time the forest was lively for a while, of course, when the successful people watched the lively, those losers, old cows, goats, deer, horses and other animals, but as if they found the key to open the door to success, so under the pine tree, it became a place frequented by these animals.
Rosin occasionally drops a dot or two, but it's too few for the big animals, and besides, where can I find a leaf big enough to fly?
So, after a while, everyone lost faith again and went their own way.
The leaves of the moonlight bat were also strong, and they persisted for several years, and when this leaf broke, due to the long-term adhesion of the skin, a piece of excess skin grew, which was as big as the original leaf, this was the bat's wings, and with this wing, the moonlight bat finally realized his dream of flying.
Let's bless it.
