When I was a child, although I didn't like to read and especially hated to do endless homework problems, I especially liked to read fairy tales.
Once, after watching the fairy tale of "The Old Lady of the Field Snail", I especially liked to crouch by the water side of the rice field and carefully observe the field snail.
Because I also want to find a big snail that can become a snail girl and raise it in a water tank, so that it can be conjured up to be my daughter-in-law.
Just for this reason, every time I see the snails in my own home or someone else's house, I always have to either ask for the biggest one or steal it out and raise it in a small spring that only I know.
Moreover, every day I would take time to work hard at the eye of the small spring where the big field snail was raised, so that the field snail could see my industrious appearance, fall in love with me, and become a beautiful girl as my daughter-in-law.
It was just that this dream did not last long, and after returning home from school, I desperately broke the dream.
That day, when I came home from school, I found that the spring had been dug up and that none of the snails had been found. When I cried and inquired, I realized that it was originally planned as a development zone and had begun construction, and my family was also going to be demolished.
In this way, my pure and true, first love for the snail girl ended with the demolition of my family, and I never liked other girls for a long time.
