2. A boy with unkempt hair and tender face was learning to fish by the river. He sat sideways on the moss and was covered with green grass. Hearing passers-by asking for directions, he waved at a distance, afraid to respond to passers-by for fear of disturbing the fish.
This poem is divided into two layers: fishing and asking for directions. The first and second sentences focus on writing: fishing, while the third and fourth sentences focus on expressing the spirit: asking for directions. This poem about children's fishing has a special interest. There is no gorgeous color and deliberate carving in the poem, just like a beautiful hibiscus, which reveals a little innocence, infinite childlike interest and a little concentration in the plain and simple narrative.
