In the ancient land of China, there is a small village surrounded by mountains and babbling streams, called Yunyin Village. The four seasons here are like spring, the folk customs are simple, and the villagers have been farming for generations, living a life without contention. However, in this quiet village, there is a hidden secret - a wise and mysterious old woman, known as "Granny Huixin", who is proficient in astronomy and geography, and is better at enlightening people with fables, especially for children's mental growth.
The story takes place on a spring afternoon in Yunyin Village, where the sun shines through the light veil-like clouds under the old locust tree at the head of the village, and a group of children sit around Huixin's mother-in-law, their eyes flashing with curiosity and longing for the unknown world. This year, the youngest child in the village, 10-year-old Amin, joined the group to listen to wisdom.
Mother-in-law Huixin gently stroked Ah Ming's head, her eyes were full of love, and she slowly spoke: "Children, life is like this mountain path, tortuous and changeable, only with light in the heart can light the way forward." Today, I would like to tell you nine vital truths, which are like nine bright stars that guide you in the direction of growth. ”
The first star: self-knowledge
"Once upon a time, there was a little deer who always dreamed of becoming the king of the forest. One day, it challenged the lion, and the results speak for themselves. Dejected, the fawn returns to the river, sees his own reflection, and finally understands that every life has its own unique value and does not have to be forced to be in the place of others. Children, knowing themselves and accepting their imperfections is the first step to growth. ”
Second star: Diligence
"Look at the industrious ants, they are small, but they can carry food many times heavier than themselves, and build strong nests. They tell us that no matter how far away our goal is, if we persevere, we will eventually reach it. Diligence is the only way to success. ”
Third star: Honesty and trustworthiness
"There used to be an old carpenter in the village, and every piece of wood he made was delicate and durable, and the villagers loved it. Once, he broke a chair due to negligence, but he did not hide it and took the initiative to compensate. Since then, his fame has become even louder. Honesty and trustworthiness are the foundation of human beings, and they are as precious as gold. ”
Fourth star: Courage to take responsibility
"In ancient times, there was a teenager who, in the face of a sudden flood, did not choose to escape, but organized the villagers to build embankments to prevent floods, and finally protected his home. The courage to take responsibility is not only a responsibility to oneself, but also a commitment to one's family and society. ”
Fifth star: Thanksgiving
"Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn. The farmers are grateful for the gift of the earth, and they have the joy of a good harvest. Children, learn to be grateful, whether it is the nurturing grace of parents, or the teachings of teachers, or even a help from strangers, it is worth remembering. ”
Sixth Star: Kindness-oriented
"Deep in the forest, there is a little fox who, though cunning, never harms the innocent. Once, he rescued an injured bird, and since then, the bird has become his friend, guiding him in the direction and avoiding many dangers. Kindness is the most powerful force in the world. ”
Seventh star: Perseverance
"Dripping water through stones is not a day's work. The tiny crack in the rock is a testament to the tireless efforts of the water droplets over thousands of years. Children, no matter how difficult it is, as long as we don't give up, there will always be a breakthrough day. ”
Eighth star: Respect for differences
"Everything in the world has its own shape and color. Just like the flowers in this valley, some are delicate, some are fresh, and together they make up this beautiful landscape. Respecting the differences of others makes our world more colorful. ”
Ninth Star: Dreams and Hopes
"On top of the highest mountain, there is a soaring eagle that has fallen countless times, but has never given up the dream of flying. Eventually, it flew over the clouds and saw something that had never been seen before. Children, dreams are the beacon of the soul, hope is the driving force to move forward, let us have dreams and move forward bravely. ”
As the story of Granny Huixin unfolded one by one, the children's faces were sometimes pensive and sometimes full of excitement. Ah Ming was even more fascinated by what he heard, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must keep these nine truths in mind and become a wise and brave person like Granny Huixin.
As the sun set, the children reluctantly bid farewell to Huixin's mother-in-law and set foot on their way home. Amin's steps are extraordinarily firm, and he knows that from today onwards, his world will become wider and deeper because of these nine truths.
As night fell, Yunyin Village returned to tranquility again, but in this tranquility, young hearts were boiling with today's enlightenment. They begin to understand that on the road to growth, they need not only courage and wisdom, but also a deep understanding and respect for themselves, others, and the world.
At this point, the story is not only a spiritual baptism for children, but also a profound reminder to all readers: in the journey of life, giving children the right guidance in time, so that they can understand these precious truths as soon as possible, will be the most valuable wealth in their lives. As Granny Hui Xin said, "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now." In the same way, the same is true for educating children, one day later is one day less. ”
Let us work together to light up the nine stars in our hearts for the children, so that they can shine brightly and move forward bravely on the road of growth.
