Send a Band-aid to the moon

My son is only three years old, is an authentic "story fan", almost every night to listen to my wife and I tell a story to fall asleep, so every night after dinner, my wife and I have to habitually brew a story for the child, so that the child can sleep peacefully with the story.

Last night, it was a beautiful night, long moon high hanging, little stars like a grain of emerald diamond inlaid in the embrace of the sky, the month is not full, is a face meniscus, like a child a naughty smiling face. My wife and I took my son to the wide balcony of the attic, a cool bamboo bed, my son snuggled in my arms, like a petite lamb.

"Dad, is it time for a story?" The child looked at me with an expectant look.

"Ok, today dad will tell you a story about" The dog Eats the moon "..." I replied.

"Dad, what is a heavenly dog? Does it look similar to our 'Huang Huang' (our dog)? Why does the dog eat the moon? How come I haven't seen the dog eat the moon?"

"Tiangou and our home Huanghuang, it will also be hungry, so it will eat the moon, the moon is originally round, you have not seen today's moon is curved?" That means the other part has been eaten by the dog!" The wife added.

The child momentarily leng there, for a long time, the eyes filled with glittering tears, I immediately stroked the child's cheek, a warm liquid from the corner of the child slipped down, the child burst into tears: "The sky is so big, there is no dog can eat something?"

My wife and I were there for a moment, not thinking of a story that did not put our son to sleep, but made him cry. In order to comfort my son, I quickly explained: "Baby, don't cry, it is your mother lied to you, there is no heaven dog, the moon is a natural phenomenon......"

"You're the one who lied to me! Mom, we're going to send food to the dog and a Band-aid to the moon." My son suddenly interrupted me.

My wife and I held our son close to me and agreed to his request without giving him too much explanation. We believed that as our son grew up, he would gradually understand everything. However, my son's words kept me tossing and turning all night.

In the flow of life, each of us thinks that he can always tell different stories to different people, but when we are intoxicated with the perfect sense of accomplishment, and carried away, we do not think that there are angelic eyes to see our absurdity. Children are angels on earth. There is no hatred in the heart of the angel, so the son will not scold the dog, but also send it food; The angel's heart is full of love, so the son will think of giving the moon a Band-Aid.

From the myth of Chang 'e flying to the moon to the reality of human beings really walking on the moon, human beings have groped in the vast space for thousands of years, but it is far from the speed of a child's innocent idea. That night, my son taught us a vivid lesson with his pure childlike heart, which was called "simple and kind"!
