Chapter 1: The Forest at Night

Mr. Woodpecker is the most disciplined. He worked during the day and slept at night, and his life was very peaceful. One evening, the woodpecker came home from work. He ate a bellyful of pests and felt very happy. He flew over Uncle Owl's house. Owl has just woken up and is getting ready for the night shift. Uncle Owl invited the Woodpecker to come in and sit.

The woodpecker was tired, and he was happy to sit for a while at the owl's house. Uncle Owl's son brought two drinks, one for his father and one for Mr. Woodpecker.

The woodpecker took the tea cup, opened the lid and took a sip. It tasted a little bitter, but very fragrant and sweet. He was thirsty, so he tilted his neck and drank.

Uncle Owl took the tea cup, opened the lid and was about to drink it, when he suddenly frowned and said, "Why is it orange juice?" Then the little owl realized that he had made a mistake. The woodpecker drank a cup of espresso, which was Uncle Owl's refreshing drink before going to work; and the orange juice given to Mr. Woodpecker ended up in the hands of Uncle Owl.

That night, Mr. Woodpecker could no longer sleep. He counted the leaves nearby and then the stars in the sky, but he still couldn't close his eyes.

At night, the dense woods are very beautiful. Under the moonlight, the big trees turned into dark shadows. Mr. Woodpecker enjoyed the night view of this big forest for the first time. In the distance, among the rustling trees, there were two lights, like two lamps. Before the woodpecker could see the trick, the two lamps suddenly fell towards the bottom of the tree. "Squeak!" A field mouse that had stolen corn from a nearby field and was about to move it home was caught by a pair of iron claws. It turns out that this is an owl. The two groups of bright lights are his pair of big, sharp eyes. The woodpecker watched with bated breath. After a while, the owl had caught three voles. Three thieves hiding in the forest were eliminated. It's almost dawn and the moon has already set. The woodpecker could stand it no longer and came to the owl. "Uncle Owl, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Hello, Mr. Woodpecker, are you up so early?" "No, I didn't sleep all night. It was the first time I saw the forest at night. , I'm so happy to see your hard work. I have to ask you to forgive me for something." "What's the matter?" Owl felt strange.

"I once told others that the owl family is really lazy and dozes on the tree in broad daylight. Now it seems that I was wrong, I don't understand you!"

"It doesn't matter, When you understand the night in the forest, you understand me; when it is daytime, I will also come to see you catching insects. We need to understand each other..."

"Yes, we need to understand, even though we live in In a forest," said the woodpecker thoughtfully.

Chapter 2: A string of happy notes

There is a string of happy notes. Where they come from, even they themselves don't know.

Perhaps a musician played them on the violin; perhaps a girl who was just learning the piano played them on the keyboard; perhaps a little shepherd boy riding on the back of a cow played them on a piccolo; Or maybe it was a little boy walking on the ridge of the field who blew them out with a brisk whistle...

Anyway, as soon as they came to life, they joined together and ran happily across the field. They didn't even have time to look back and see who played them. They held each other's hands, running and singing across the fields like a gentle breeze. They ran past the happy bird, which sang less beautifully than they did!

They ran past the rushing creek, which sang less affectionately than they did. They ran through the forest, through the grass, through the canyons between the mountains...

The little musical notes didn't want to stop, they were flying around, so happy.

In a small building in the city, there is a small window open, facing the night sky with twinkling stars. The little notes were curious and got in. Oh, there is an old lady with white hair inside. His wife, a gentle and humorous grandpa, passed away. The grandma felt very lonely and missed her grandpa.

Suddenly, she heard the song of small musical notes flying in from the window. Ah, what a familiar song. This is the song that my grandfather loved to sing when he was young. When grandpa and grandma first met, grandpa sang this happy tune to grandma. Later, this song accompanied the grandpa and grandma for a long time...

Although the grandpa passed away, this happy song is still there. Now the singing is flying in again, just like the old grandfather humming softly under the soft moonlight.

The old lady had tears in her eyes. She smiled very emotionally. For some reason, the little notes couldn't run anymore, and they didn't want to run either. The little musical notes entered the old woman's heart hand in hand, and they were willing to stay there. When the old lady was lonely, they would hum softly.

Singing this song that the old lady is familiar with and the old man once sang when he was young...

Chapter 3: A Greedy Fish

In summer, the river There are so many delicious things in there that a gluttonous fish keeps eating from morning to night. Sometimes, it will taste everything it sees with its mouth. If it tastes good, it will swallow it without hesitation.

On this day, the gluttonous fish smelled a very fragrant smell. It swung its tail, looking here and there. Finally, the good thing that made the gluttonous fish salivate was found. The gluttonous fish was about to rush up and swallow it in one gulp, but was caught by Grandpa Carp hiding in the water plants.

Grandpa Carp said to Greedy Fish: "I have been observing here for a long time. That is bait. It cannot be eaten. If you eat it, you will not come back!"

Grandpa Carp is afraid of Greedy Fish. Unable to control himself, he went to eat the bait, so he pulled the greedy fish very far away before letting go. He also gave many warnings and instructions to control his greed and not to eat the bait.

After Grandpa Carp swam away, Greedy Fish still missed the fragrant bait, thinking to himself: "Grandpa Carp is getting older, maybe he is dazzled by it and sees the delicious food as bait." , I’d better go back and see if it’s true or not.”

The gluttonous fish swam back to its original place. It circled the bait several times, could no longer withstand the temptation of the bait, and swallowed it in one gulp. Bait.

As soon as there was a sound of water, the gluttonous fish was caught on the shore. The fisherman took it off the hook and put it in the fishing basket by the water.

The gluttonous fish bumped around in the bamboo fishing basket, breaking its head and unable to escape, so it burst into tears.

Its cry attracted many fish. Everyone was next to the fishing basket, bumping against the fishing basket and biting the fishing basket hard, but to no avail. Everyone said to the gluttonous fish: "We have no choice but to stay here with you for a while."

The gluttonous fish cried loudly in the fishing basket.

The sun has set and the fishermen are going home. He came to the river, raised the fishing basket out of the water, took out the greedy fish and said: "I only caught one fish today. One fish is not worth the pot, so I will let you go. But next time you will come back." Greedy, I won’t let you go.” After saying that, he put the Greedy fish into the water.

From then on, the gluttonous fish no longer dared to be greedy. It often warned its friends not to be greedy and to control their mouths.
