As night falls, the old man sits alone by the window, looking out at the falling leaves, his heart filled with loneliness and sadness. His relatives had all left him, leaving him alone to face the hardships of life. His eyes were empty and helpless, as if he had been abandoned by life. Just then, an orange kitten appeared outside his window, its bright eyes staring at the old man as if saying, "I'll be with you through the hard times."
The old man carefully opened the window and let the kitten in. He named the kitten "Little Sun", hoping it would bring him some warmth and hope. Little Sun's lively and cute behavior made the old man rediscover the joy of life. They took walks together, sunbathed together, and shared food together. Little Sun became the old man's only friend and relative.
The old man began to teach Little Sun various skills, such as picking up a ball, shaking hands and rolling. Little Sun learned quickly and made the old man smile happily every time. Gradually, the smile on the old man's face grew and his attitude towards life became more and more positive. He also began to organize his garden and plant flowers, as if he had rediscovered the meaning of life again.
The old man also likes to take Little Sun for walks in the garden. They enjoy the flowers together, listen to the birds singing and feel the breeze on their faces. The little sun always runs happily around the old man, and their laughter fills the whole garden.
The afternoon sunlight pours through the window on the old man and Little Sun, and they freeze the warmth of this moment forever. The old man sat in a rocking chair, and Little Sun lay comfortably on his lap, enjoying this lazy time together.
Every night, the old man would tell Little Sun stories. Those marvelous adventures and wonderful fairy tales deeply attracted the little sun, which always listened attentively, with an expectant gleam in its eyes. The old man also found inner peace and fulfillment in the process of storytelling.
As time goes by, the bond between the old man and the little sun grows deeper and deeper. They proved their friendship with each other through their actions and became an inseparable family. Their interactions are full of affection and warmth, adding a unique color to the town.
One day, the old man suddenly fell ill and was bedridden. The little sun seemed to feel the pain of its owner, and silently stood by the old man's side every day, gently caressing his hand with its tail.
However, death was unavoidable. The old man passed away, leaving Little Sun to face life alone. The little sun seems unable to accept this fact, and it stays by the old man's mausoleum every day, as if waiting for the old man to come back. Even though life is full of suffering, the little sun still believes that the old man will always be in its heart and will never leave.
Years later, the little sun also left this world. But the story of the little sun and the old man became a good story in the town. People will always see a statue of an orange cat in front of the old man's mausoleum, which is a symbol of Little Sun and a testimony of their deep love for each other. Although they have left this world, the love and salvation between them remain in people's hearts forever. Whenever people walk past the old man's mausoleum, they will always think of this loyal orange cat and the warmth and companionship it once gave the old man.
