Good for nothing, don't have supernatural powers

Do you have any very close friends?

Tao Ming didn't fly to the other side of the ocean with Shen Gu and the others, because he felt that he couldn't help with anything.Shen Gu originally wanted to renege on his debt, but Tao Ming said to him seriously: "A good boy must keep his word."

Shen Gu looked into his dark eyes, quickly gave in, and boarded the long-distance plane with Han Dongsheng.

Tao Ming also has work to do, because Uncle Ghost Eye gave him an ube.It is alive and looks like a mussel, but the shell is more beautiful.The two shells are always tightly closed, like an eye that will never be opened again.

The weather was fine that day, and Mr. Turtle was feeding carrots to the little white dog, A Dong, under the big tree. He passed it up, but A Dong sniffed it, but refused to eat it; He took two steps back.Mr. Tortoise got angry, threw away the carrot, and retracted his head into the shell, as if he was no longer willing to stick it out.A Dong circled around the round turtle shell a few times, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and then licked it again.Mr. Tortoise was still angry, he quietly stretched out his legs and took two steps back.

A Dong drooped his head in frustration, and reluctantly began to bite the carrot that Mr. Turtle threw aside.

Mr. Turtle stuck out his head and looked at A Dong quietly, with a little confusion on his face.Then he turned his head suddenly, and ran under the maple tree in the backyard, with limbs, head and tail curled up.A Dong chased after him, but Mr. Tortoise forbade it to approach, saying that it wanted to sleep.

A Dong could only run to find Tao Ming who was taking Uber to bask in the sun.It said, "I know Mr. Tortoise doesn't want to sleep."

Tao Ming was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

A Dong seems to just want to talk to someone, but in fact only Tao Ming can hear him talk, so even though Tao Ming doesn't seem to understand, it still said: "Mr. A rabbit is a good friend, right? I heard from my mother that the little rabbit and Mr. Tortoise were bought together at that time, and the children of that family wanted to watch the tortoise and the hare race, so they raised them together. They became I made a good friend... Later, the children got tired of watching this kind of trick, and they just wanted to keep the fluffy rabbit. The owner put Mr. Turtle into a fish tank and kept him in a fish tank, and made soup to drink when he said it was clean. The rabbit wanted to save Mr. Turtle , even ran to the window sill and knocked the fish tank downstairs—because of this incident, the rabbit was almost killed by the owner, but your friend saved it. Later, Mr. Tortoise followed to your friend’s house.”

Tao Ming said: "Mr. Tortoise and Rabbit are really good friends."

A Dong said: "Yes, I heard from my mother that the rabbit is in vain, about the same size as Mr. Tortoise, and it's a bit dull—it even eats maple leaves as carrots in autumn. Mr. Tortoise has a poisonous mouth, but its heart is soft-hearted. Yes, my mother told it and the rabbit that I wanted to eat cherries once. When my mother was about to die last time, Mr. Tortoise specially brought several cherries to my mother and brought me back. I still remember the bright red cherry that night. The sweet and sour cherries look so pretty..."

Tao Ming said: "Ah, no wonder Mr. Turtle told me and Gu to remember to buy cherries."

"You are all very good people...Mr. Turtle is also very good. I like it very much, more than I like eating meat." A Dong said: "But you see, I am getting bigger and bigger, not so I'm like a rabbit, and I don't like carrots at all, Mr. Tortoise must not like me, right?"

Tao Ming was taken aback, and he couldn't figure out the relationship: "Whether Mr. Turtle likes you has anything to do with whether you look like a rabbit or like carrots? Agu doesn't like cookies, but I still like them." He!"

A Dong looked at Tao Ming's innocent eyes and said, "No, you don't understand." Then it drooped its tail, ran to the window sill that opened to the backyard, and looked at Mr. Turtle under the maple tree through the glass.The warm warmth fell on its white fluff, which was a bit dazzling. It stared at the light spots falling on Mr. Turtle through the leaf gap, and was stunned for a while, then said to itself: "If I were a rabbit, I would alright."

Tao Ming overheard this sentence, and tiptoed back to the front porch.He lay down in front of the glass tank and said to Wu Bei, who was bathed in sunlight and clear water at the same time: "Even if A Dong is a rabbit, it is not the same rabbit as before...Mr. Turtle will definitely become good friends with A Dong, right? Wu Bei Wu, you can talk to me."

Ube was still lying quietly on the layer of soft fine sand at the bottom of the glass tank, except for the occasional small shiny water bubbles that could prove that it was still alive, it seemed no longer alive.

Tao Ming rested his chin on the back of his hand in frustration, and kept staring at Ube.

After an unknown amount of time, Tao Ming suddenly heard a strange voice: "Why do you always care about such small things? Do you care about a tortoise thinking about a dead rabbit? Do you care about a stray cat?" Do you get lost on the road, care about whether a dog can be friends with a turtle, or even care about whether an ubei can talk or not... Don’t you have anything more to do? You don’t want to know my turtle Are there any pearls hidden in the film?"

Tao Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily: "You have spoken, and you have spoken a lot!"

Ube shut his mouth again.

Tao Ming said: "Do you have any pearls? I heard that the long pearls are caused by a piece of sand entering your body. It hurts, right?"

"Your thinking is still so strange." Ube said, "Don't you want to sell me for money?"

"I have money!"

"Believe me, if you sell my pearls, you will have many times more money in your hands."

"But I have enough money..."

"Is that enough? Don't you want a better house? Don't you want a better life?"

"Isn't it good now? I think it's good!"

Uber fell silent again.

At this time, the phone in the room rang, Tao Ming ran in and heard that it was Shen Gu.

He consciously began to report on his life, from what he ate in the morning to Mr. Turtle and A Dong's quarrel.

Ube lay quietly on the fine sand in a daze. It began to think that maybe this little boy would be the last owner. He was different from anyone he had ever met before. Competition, auctions, and transactions all seem to be moving away from it.

This is incredible.

From the day Ube's body began to grow pearls, the sand hidden deep in the body gave them unbearable pain every moment. This pain began to make them unaccustomed to comfort, and the same kind began to interact with each other. Bragging: "I must have the biggest pearl in my body."

Ube never joined them.

It has a good friend who talks about everything, so it is often so happy that it forgets the pain and laughs happily-it will reveal its pearls at this time.

Its pearls are completely different from other pearls of the same kind. The luster is black and beautiful, and they are growing in an orderly manner. This growth seems to never stop, and it will only become bigger and more beautiful. It is far more beautiful than the entire body of water. Ube's pearls are precious.

It's just that it never shows others to see it, and only shows half of Pearl's face to its friends.

It makes it regret that its friend never showed it his pearls.It always feels that a friend's pearl should be white and round, just like its good character.

Ube once told his friend about this conjecture, but the friend just smiled slightly and did not answer.

When the annual human fishing season came, Ube was betrayed by his friends.It was kicked out of hiding by a friend who finally told it the truth: "I don't have any pearls."

From then on, Uber knew that there is no one in the world who doesn’t care about whether his friend is rich or outstanding. If you are much better than him, he will be jealous of you; if you are too far away from him, He will look down on you - no matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand the test of "gap".

In order not to be cut open immediately to get the pearl, it opened the shell to show people its own pearl, it is so beautiful, so attractive, and the most important thing is - it is still growing.

The greedy fisherman was really tempted, and raised it carefully, and he felt that Ube was very spiritual, and every time he asked it to open its shell, it would show pearls as if it understood.

Then a big buyer bought it, and it began to trade endlessly in different hands.It was the last auction some time ago because its pearls haven't grown in size for a long time!

But how could he meet such a master as Tao Ming this time?Ube couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, its thoughts were suddenly brought back to reality by a rustling sound.Looking up, the strange leaves of the big tree in the garden were stretching in the sun, and seemed to be shining with moving brilliance.

Then it heard Dashu say: "You are not as valuable as you imagined, if Tao Ming needs it, selling me is far more valuable than selling you."

Ube was not convinced: "Why do you say that?"

"Although you are rare, it's not like there are no others of the same kind that can replace you, but in China, there are only two trees of our kind, me and Xiao Shu. In terms of preciousness, you are nothing." Big Tree glanced at him: "There is A distant leaf tells me that you've been hating your friend, isn't it?"

Ube's eyes widened in surprise, but it always respected those who were stronger than itself, so it angrily told the tree all about what had happened to it.

To this day, it still speaks with indignation about what happened at that time.

After listening to Dashu, he said slowly: "Do you think that you are doing well because your friends are not doing well? You don't show your pearls to your real opponents and win their respect, you just want to borrow You live a happy life under the protection of your friends, do you think you are more humble than others?——Then why do you always show off your pearls to your friends? Surely you don’t just want to share your joy with them? You just look down on Others of the same kind are only willing to compete with your friends."

Uber fell silent.

"Judging from your current personality, you must have dismissed others of the same kind at that time, especially those without pearls. You would not even give half of your eyes." The branches and leaves of the big tree fluttered gently with the wind: "So your friends never dare to tell you the truth, every time you show off, you will stab its heart, but you, as its friend, never notice that it is not that strong... So, don't you Is it wrong?"

Ube felt that the pearls in his body were rubbing against his internal organs. For the first time, he experienced an extremely clear pain. For the first time, he felt that this was not his pride, but his catastrophe.

The sun is very warm, making the water around it slightly warm.

Is there really nothing wrong with it?Does it really matter if there are pearls or not?Didn't they live happily together in those waters when none of them had pearls?Why did I have to chase after my good friend to show me the pearls?

If it had been discovered earlier, earlier...it would have been different, it would have been different.

But it won't be forever sooner.

Do you have any very close friends?Have you ever inadvertently shown him your successes -- when he's had a failure?

I hope that when you become friends with a certain person, you can share his sorrow with him while sharing your joy with him.
