JK Rowling said that she had measles when she was 4 years old, and her father read through a fairy tale book for her when she was ill, which gave Rowling the earliest memory of the book. Later, Rowling was unimpressed by the disease, but she firmly remembered all the stories in the book.
This fairy tale book that JK Rowling will never forget is the British writer Kenneth Graham's "The Wind in the Willows".
Published in 1908, The Wind in the Willows was originally a fairy tale work written by the author for his son.
In this book, the author tells the life story of several small animals, from acquaintance and acquaintance to helping each other and exploring together.
This sounds like a very cheesy fairy tale.
However, in this clichéd fairy tale vein, there are touching surprises hidden everywhere.
The little mole, who has always lived underground, met the hospitable water rat by a large river and followed the water rat on a wonderful boat trip.
On the way back, the mole wants to experience the joy of rowing for himself, and the water rat tries to dissuade it, and the little mole, instead of listening, grabs the oar of the water rat. As a result, the little mole, who had never rowed a boat, flipped into the river with the rat, and the things on the boat and the water rats were not spared.
In the end, it was the water rat who laughed and rescued the mole from the river, let him dry his fur well, and then burrowed into the water himself, cleaned up the overturned boat, and fished back what had sunk into the water.
For the wayward mistake of the mole, the water rat did not mention a word, and the little mole rat felt extremely guilty, he felt that the water rat was the best and most capable friend in the world.
The sound of the willow forest wind
Later, the water rat took the mole to meet the rich but three minutes hot toad for everything, the calm and chivalrous old badger...
In this book, no small animal is perfect, some of them are timid and willful, some love vanity, some are stuck in stereotypes, some are unrealistic... But each of them is so cute.
On the night when the wind and snow were coming, the little mole felt the call of his small family on the way to the river with the water rat, and he had been away from his small family for almost a year. The water rat knew, and without saying a word, pulled the mole and ran in the opposite direction of the riverbank, although a second ago, the water rat was still thinking of his home by the river and the warm bed...
There is also the leper toad who likes the new and the old, who first fell in love with the boat, and within a month he was obsessed with traveling in a carriage, only to play halfway, he began to envy the driver, and finally went to prison for stealing other people's cars.
Despite its shortcomings, its friends are always by its side to help him, try to help him get rid of bad problems, and even risk their lives to help him regain the Toad Palace...
In these small animals, friendship represents kindness, integrity, tolerance... If you open this book, you will definitely fall in love with these cute little ones
Hope all the people who open this book
Can reap the warmth and touch
