Because I wanted to eat boiled corn, I walked slowly to the supermarket alone. Passing by the park on the way, I saw many people flying kites. I couldn't help but stop and walk into the park.
In the park, there are many people selling and flying kites. Of course, there are also people selling flowers, selling Kongming lanterns, selling calligraphy and painting, selling candied haws and various snacks... People are coming and going, it is so lively. Only here can you experience a little bit of the flavor of the new year and feel some breath of spring.
There were several stalls selling goldfish in the park. I looked at them one by one, and suddenly I remembered that I had a new pot of lucky bamboo at home, and there happened to be two small goldfish in that transparent bottle.
When I mentioned the goldfish and wanted to leave, the boss recommended fish food to me. Then I remembered that the goldfish still needs to eat. Thinking about the goldfish I raised in the past, every one of them died due to eating them. I feel a little regretful, but I have already paid for this goldfish, so I can only keep it.
I went to the supermarket to buy boiled corn and walked all the way home. When passing by the small river, I released the goldfish into the river. When I got home, my two daughters were playing on the computer. When they saw me, the younger daughter asked:
"Mom, why are you back so late?"
"I bought two small goldfish and took them to the river and released them."
"Release? Goldfish? Mom, are you okay? Goldfish cannot be released. They are artificially trained ornamental fish. If they enter the natural river, they will definitely die!"
"Sensational!" I didn't believe it, so I sat in front of the computer and checked online. As my daughter said, goldfish cannot be released. I can't explain how I feel. If it weren't for my kindness, this goldfish might have lived for a few more days. Now, it might have died in one day.
Then I told my daughter that when I released the goldfish, I also thought that one day, when I went to the river to play, the river would be full of little red goldfish.
"Mom, there was a story about a little girl who escaped from World War II and released the goldfish she had fed into the river in a hurry. When she returned to her hometown after World War II, the river was full of little goldfish. From then on, the little girl, who had no food and clothing, made a living by selling goldfish."
"Your unintentional act of kindness will also bring you many unexpected surprises. This story is really good."
"Actually, this story is about an open-minded attitude towards life. The river full of little red goldfish is the best reward for an open-minded life!"
"The best reward for an open-minded life?"
"Yes, the teacher said that you do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but an open-minded attitude towards life will definitely be rewarded, and the rewards must be unexpectedly rich!"
"What is an open-minded attitude towards life? Has your teacher told you?"
"No, but I think the so-called open-mindedness means that no matter what situation you are in, your heart is always full of hope!"
The conversation ended here, but I sat blankly in front of the computer, lost in thought.
