Hello everyone, I am everyone's old friend Ting Ma, today to share with you a fun children's book.
What kind of image does everyone think of the fox? Is it not the first thing that comes to mind is the word "cunning", so when we grow up writing essays, we will say "cunning fox"?
Moreover, in some fairy tales that we have seen since childhood, the fox will be shaped into a "bad bad" image, and many words we have learned, such as fox fake tiger power, refer to the fox pretending to use the power of the tiger to scare other small animals, and later used to describe the use of other people's power to oppress others. Fox friends, refers to some friends with bad character and so on.
All in all, in our consciousness, the fox is a "badass."
However, in some foreign literary works, foxes are often "smart, witty" and "innocent and kind", which has a very possible side, which is completely different from our understanding.
Today we will talk about the fox in the picture book story of "The Great Fox Daddy".
The Great Fox Daddy is a picture book written by Norwegian writer Roald Dahl, a prominent writer of children's literature, playwrights and short stories. He was a pilot and served in the British Air Force during World War II. His works have many horror plots and farce flavors, strange ideas and novel imaginations, and have twice won the "Edgar Allan Poe Literary Award" and the British "White Bread Award".
"The Great Fox Daddy" is his masterpiece, the story of the fox family and three despicable, door-cutting farmers fighting each other.
In order to get rid of the fox family, the three breeders first waited at the entrance of the fox hole, found it in vain, and then found a shovel, excavator, etc.
Mr. Fox and his family were not afraid of hunger, not of tiredness, and worked together, not retreating at all. In the end, the clever Mr. Fox not only led the family out of danger, but also led other small animals to open up the passage to the various breeding grounds, so that everyone did not have to starve anymore, so that they could live happily and happily together.
1. This is a loving dad
In the picture book story, children can feel a strong fatherly love. As soon as he found food, the first thing he thought of was his wife and children. He is also a brave father, knowing that the three farmers are preparing to arrest him, but he still risks his life to go out to find food for his family. Moreover, he was also very wise, and he knew that as long as they dug holes faster than the three farmers of Borghese, Bean, and Bunce, the farmers could not catch them.
2. Teach children courage and responsibility
"The Great Fox Daddy" is a fairy tale, the author Roald portrays the characters in it very delicately, the fox father, the little mouse, the badger and other small animals have been anthropomorphized, each small animal has thoughts, emotions, according to their different images, designed different occupations.
In the story, three farmers surround the fox family, several children are starving to death, and Mrs. Fox has no energy. But the fox father did not give up, he showed a witty and brave side, trying to find food, very responsible, a good father who loved his children, a good husband who cared for his wife.
3. Teach children to share
While the three hateful farmers were besieging and stopping, the other critters were also facing the danger of running out of food. The fox father was not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of danger, and found the aspect of the feedlot in the dark with his memory, and found food. However, he did not enjoy it exclusively, but called all the other small moves to enjoy the delicious food together.
Of course, when you see this, many people may be confused, shouldn't stealing things be spurned? Can a fox who steals a chicken be a good fox?
In the story, the author also expressed everyone's doubts through the language of badger, and replied like this at that time:
Papa Fox looked at the badger in a daze, as if he didn't know him, and after a while he said, "Is this theft?" When our wives and children are about to starve to death, do you think it's theft? ”
Mrs. Fox in the story trusts Mr. Fox so much that she often tells the little fox, "Your father is the most remarkable!" "It's also a very loving scene.
In this fairy tale, the author does not use preaching, but through the language of the characters in the story, let the reader have a strong sense of substitution, and have his own understanding of right and wrong, good and evil in a subtle way.
"The Great Fox Daddy" and "The Great Fox Daddy" have been bestsellers worldwide for nearly 50 years since their publication (published in the UK in 1970).
