My Favorite Book (2) Knowing what happened to his mom, the boy decides to look for her immediately. It is a long and perilous journey. He is duped by an avaricious old woman to work for her voluntarily. He finds a witch in the mountains who knows where his mother is, but almost gets killed by her. After all these hardships and dangers, at last he found the lake where his mother lives in. Mother tells him why she was punished. He is very sad and thinks that the curse was cast only because there was not enough food for the villagers. He decides to break the rock that is blocking the lake, let the water flow out and get the farm lands irrigated. Mother decides to help him. She let him sit on her head and directs her. She rolled her body violently, building up huge waves, crushing against the rocks and hills, and the blocking rock was broken. Suddenly, the dragon scales on her body starts to fall off, and gradually, she resumes her human shape. She stands up from the ground and cries out her son’s name. The boy rushed to his mother, and finally, he gets hold in her mother’s arms. What a wonderful story, sad but full of energy. When I first read it as a child, I was deeply moved. It showed me how great a mother’s love can be, and how precious her love is for a boy that he would do anything he could to get it back. If nothing more, it at least told me what love means, and I felt it. That’s enough. This book is full of stories like this one, varied in plots and styles, but never lacks in passion and imagination to touch me in the heart and inspire me in the mind. Thank you, the ingenious authors who created these stories, with nothing more but a loving and caring heart, and may these stories continue to inspire our children, so they can live happily in this world, with nothing more but a loving and caring heart.
