Grandpa taught Bryce earnestly, so that he learned to observe human nature and find beauty from it. Chet was the first person to discover Julie's beauty and kindness. When he saw the report in the newspaper that Julie couldn't stay in the tree, he immediately understood Julie's desire for beauty. It was Chet who brought the newspaper to Bryce and made Bryce wake up and didn't go further and further on the lost road. Chet is such a gentleman!
The following excerpt is from Chet's inculcation of Bryce. Let's enjoy it together!
He opened my curtains and looked across the street. "A person's character is fixed at a very young age, son. The choices you make now will affect the rest of your life." He was silent for a while, then put down the curtain and said, "I don't want to see you swim where you can't come back."
"Yes, sir"
He frowned and said, "Don't be-sir, I, Bryce." Then he stood up and added, "Think about what I said. Next time you are faced with a choice, do the right thing. In the long run, this will hurt everyone less. "
? A person's character is formed at a very young age, son. The choices you make now will affect your life ... I don't want to see you go too far but can't turn back. Think carefully about what I said and make the right decision when faced with a choice next time. In the long run, the harm to everyone can be minimized.
Sort out the word chains that we will use in our daily expressions:
Everything makes sense to me. I think it's reasonable.
Being lifted above the earth and blown by the wind is like your heart being kissed by beauty. Stay away from the ground and be blown by the wind, just like your heart is kissed by beauty.
Just like your heart was kissed by beauty.
But it is easy to go the other way. That kind of thing is very likely.
