Original fairy tale | Author: April Flower Branch

"Do you want to hear a story about cats?"
"Huh?"
I was huddled in the café's single couch reading, a soft voice interrupted my thoughts, looking left and right, looking for where the sound came from.
"Hey, I'm here, this, on your knees."
I carefully removed the book from my lap, worried that the light blue sleeves were too wide, scaring away the owner of this gentle voice, a pink, furry one?
Well, that's right, a caterpillar.
Excitedly waving pink, furry hands, they jumped around on my knees, and the white stockings were printed with a few playful little peach blossoms.
"Did you just dance on a cherry blossom mousse cake?"
I spread out the goose-yellow napkin, and she gracefully took small steps to the center of the napkin and looked up at me with her head held high.
"The smell of the cake grips my nose so tightly that I have to go," the caterpillar raised his hand and sniffed it carefully, as if immersed in the smell, "the story I want to tell you today is also related to this cake." Oh, forgot to introduce myself, hello, I'm Amy Grain. ”
I nodded her raised little hand with the tip of my right index finger, "Hello, Amy, I'm Annie." So what's the story you're trying to tell? ”
Caterpillar Amy sat down cross-legged: "The story of the cat, you see, that shop across the road. ”

My eyes followed the direction amy grain was pointing, the wooden structure of the shop, the log sign had turned black, the words on it washed away the true color, barely recognizable - Sakura no painting.
Behind the glass of the wood-framed window, there are two paintings.
On the left, the red brick wall is inlaid with wooden windows, crawling with roses, feeling the wind blowing the flowers and leaves leaking out a dull undertone, and there are three cats in the window looking out.
The one on the right, a large area of pink and white, cherry blossom trees with scattered petals, the sky and the lake are the color of cherry blossoms, and under the tree sits a white cat, whose hair is as white as fine porcelain.
Above the painting, there is a blue whale made of cards hanging from silk thread, and a string of half-open and half-closed shell wind chimes is held next to it.
Amy said that when the town sky is as blue as clean blue glass, you can also catch a glimpse of pearls in shells.
Amy said that in the story of the cat, there is more than one cat.
So what else?

When Muzi came to the house, there were already two cats in the house—big bells and small bells.
Big Bell is a cat with white flowers on a black background, Little Bell is a cat with black flowers on a white background, and Muzi is not black or white, it is a gray cat.
"Is gray a transitional color?" You must live in harmony! "The host is a strange painter with a skip-the-line mind.
Now there are three cats in the house, and the original white already large food bowl is not suitable, so it is arranged to raise flowers.
Each cat in the kitchen is a separate plate.
The setting sun lay in a corner of the wooden floor of the kitchen, moving slowly, and the sun secretly watched the three cats eat quietly, and then crouched down at the foot of the mountain and fell asleep.
The three cats had not yet slept, and blamed the night for being so beautiful tonight. Three kitten heads clustered in the window watching the moon.
"The moon is like a pie, and the stars are like sesame seeds on the table." Big Bell exclaimed, and there was a crystal light flickering at the corner of his mouth.
"Big bell, the moon is a plate!" The little bell had always roared so sharply.
"It's kind of like an eye, a rounded eye." Muzi said to himself.
"What? Muzi, you think so too, right? The little bell looked at Muzi.
"Well, it's too late, go back to the house!" Muzi jumped from the window sill to the floor and quietly entered the house.
Suddenly, tonight's room seemed a little different. Muzidong looked west, wanting to find out.
When the big bell and the little bell came in, they saw Muzi looking around.
Just when she wanted to ask, Muzi pounced on the dream-catching net at the head of the bed, which was facing the moon outside the window, and there seemed to be an eye open in the center of the net.

When the three cats opened their eyes, they were actually on the windowsill of the attic, the rose flowers outside were clinging to the glass, and the three cats looked out, and at some point, the cherry blossoms bloomed.
Cherry blossom trees are full of petals, the sky and the lake are the color of cherry blossoms, and under the tree sits a white cat with white hair as white as fine porcelain.
The cats opened the window, jumped down the eaves, and came to the white cat's side.
"Hello! I'm Little Bell, what's your name! The lively little bell had jumped in front of the white cat.
"Painting domain to come to new friends?" Hello little bell, I am little porcelain. The little porcelain was motionless, and the voice was very small.
"Hello, little porcelain, I'm Big Bell, and that gray guy is Muzi." Flower Domain? Because there are many flowers here, is it called a flower domain? Big Bell came forward to say hello.
"No, this is the painting domain, the world in the painting." The sad tone of the small porcelain caused the cats to be uneasy.
"Little porcelain, is there any way to get us out?" The quietest muzi, looking up to inquire.
"Yes, I can take you out, but can you grant a request?"
Xiao Porcelain replied, "My eyes are gray and I can't see anything, you can go to the lake to help me find blue pearls, grind them into paint, paint me eyes, and I can take you out!" ”
At this time, the cats noticed that the eyes of the little porcelain were gray with a little pink and dull, "In the lake? ”
The little porcelain still did not move: "Well, in the lake! And you have to come back before dark, or you'll be left in the painting and never be able to go back. Go to the lake, the whales will help you! ”
The cats looked at each other and decided to believe Xiao Porcelain's words. Come to the lake and call out to the baby whales.
After a while, the pale blue surface of the lake rippled with circular water patterns, and then the water droplets splashed and the white waves surged. A chubby mini blue whale appeared.
"Oh—" the whale spat out a bubble, "you're here to help Little Porcelain?" ”
"Hmmm!" Muzi replied.
"Come on! Bubbles on my head, you sit on my back, I'll take you there! ”
The baby whale spat out three bubbles, and the three cats took the bubble hood as required, climbed onto the back of the baby whale, and sank to the bottom of the lake.

"I interrupted, aren't whales in the sea?" I asked Amy questioningly.
"Oh, that bottom of the lake connects to the sea!" Amy the caterpillar explained, "Let's go on. ”
The cats came underwater for the first time and found that the lake led to the sea.
Schools of fish swim by, blocking most of the light, and the small animals see strange creatures, and suddenly they burrow into the colorful coral bushes. The deeper you swim, the dimmer the light gets.
So just when he wanted to inquire, the little whale stopped and said, "Here you go, you look for it." Remember, pearls are blue, and there is only one in a shell, so you have to find two shells. The shell will open for half a second, and you'll find it before dark! ”
Looking at the vast sandy beach, lying quietly with countless shells, Xiao Bell quickly asked, "You are at the bottom of the sea, why don't you look for it?" ”
The little whale had a hard look on his face: "I'm too big to see clearly." ”
The cats quickly separated in search of shells with blue pearls.
After searching for a long time to find one, the cats were about to cry, the big bell was very anxious, and randomly lifted a foot of sand pile, and the shell raised a pile.
"What's the use of you kicking them?" It is better to find a way to find it! Xiao Bell said bitterly.
Muzi was hit in the hand by the shell that came over, and suddenly a touch of blue, chased after it, found that it was a shell with blue pearls, and cheered: "Found, found, we can go back!" "The cats cheered hand in hand!
"Then hurry up and come up!" It's getting dark! The little whale urged the three cats to hurry back.
When they emerged from the bottom of the lake, the bubble hood disappeared.
The cats' eyes narrowed slightly, and their cheeks were flushed like the drunken sunset in the sky.
The little bell ran to the side of the small porcelain holding the shell, and the big bell and Muzi found the stone and the brush, pried open the shell, took out the pearl, ground it into powder, mixed it with water, and Muzi carefully used the brush to color the eyes of the small porcelain.
When the last stroke was drawn, an accident occurred.
……

"What happened? Is the cat back? I pressed Amy.
"Want to know?" Amy became mysterious, "Then I have to ask the boss of 'Sakura No-kan', because he told me the story." He's very special in his paintings! The pink painting, he painted with cherry blossom sauce, the pink lawn of that painting is what I rolled out! Do you want to go? ”
I hesitated for a while, but I went to the 'Sakura Painting' with the caterpillar Amy Grain.
At the door, I saw the boss in a gray trench coat.
"Hi there!" I waved my hand to say hello, and the boss looked back at me, and I saw that his eyes were blue.

"What about later? Dad, the 'me' in the story, what happened later? Nini asked.
Excitedly pulling his hands out of the bed, the light blue nightgown sleeves were spread over the quilt, like a breathing shell in the ocean.
"Later in the story, Dad has not finished writing, that will open tomorrow!" Good night, my little darling! ”
I closed the thick notebook and covered Nini with the pink caterpillar doll.
Five cats in the living room were lying by the fireplace, and on the fireplace was a ceramic white cat, and her face was sprinkled with silver moonlight.
The stove was burning with dry wood, and the orange-red color of the fireworks stained the cat's face, like the eyes were squinting and the cheeks were red in the evening.
