The Island Guarded by the Moon

　This is the story of an ordinary girl and an ordinary old man.

　　On the day of the little girl's birth, everyone was full of expectation, but when they learned that it was a female child, and an unpleasant one with a hairy face, some people began to speak blatantly and coldly, and the doctor who delivered the baby said unapologetically, "I have delivered so many babies, and I have never seen such an ugly-looking one." The little girl's world was just beginning to build when she was surrounded by unkindness. Later, the old man hurried over, he picked up the little girl with trembling hands, his wrinkled face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of tenderness, he narrowed his smiling eyes and said excitedly: "Girl, good wow! Good ...... Really good!" Hearing the old man's words, the others reluctantly shut their mouths. The old man bought a not cheap firecracker, has been from the hospital to home, it is the loud sound of firecrackers, dispel the darkness in the world of the girl child, also let the newborn girl child feel the warmth of the world.

　　Coincidentally, that little baby girl seems to have a spiritual nature, only when the elderly hold her, she will not cry, for the elderly, this is a sweet burden. The old man was often woken up in the middle of the night by the baby girl's cries, so he would pick up the little girl and go outside to look at the moon and sing the familiar song: "The moon is pooped, the pocket has been made coy ......" The bright moonlight shone on the old man's tired but smiling face, and the little girl lying in his arms fell asleep in the gentle moonlight and the gentle sound of lulling her to sleep. Later, the little girl grew up, from babbling to toddling, and the old man always showed great patience. In order to lull the little girl to sleep, he even began to collect interesting stories around, even the old man's partner said he had never seen him so patient and meticulous, and thought he had changed. The little girl later understood that this is a tender belonging to her alone. So although the little girl is not treated by others, but in the old man's unfailing care, her childhood is also colorful.

　　Later, the little girl went to school and moved out of the old man's house for convenience. The little girl was full of novelty about the outside world. In the new place, the little girl had new friends and a new life, and she no longer wanted to go back to the old man's home - the ramshackle little house in the countryside. But every time the little girl was forced to visit the old man, the old man was always full of joy, pacing around in front of the house, now and then stretching his neck to look into the distance, waiting for the little girl's arrival, he would also prepare the girl's favorite snacks in advance, just hoping she would be happy.

　　One day, the rain fell wildly from the sky, the dark and dreary sky is like to collapse down, the wind whistling, scraped away the leaves, also took away, the old man. The little girl did not see the last side of the old man in time. Later, I overheard my parents say that before the old man closed his eyes, he was still clutching the telephone in his hand and wanted to make one last phone call with the little girl ......

　　The little girl grew up, she gradually understood what the old man's departure meant, and her longing for him deepened. She remembers that the old man likes to cook a good meal and wait for her to come home after playing; she remembers that the old man likes to see her laugh, even if she naughtily got all over the sludge, as long as she saw her smile, the old man will only dotingly scold her for being naughty, and then give her a clean change of clothes; she remembers that the old man gave away all the wine in the house after she was hospitalized for stealing liquor, and seldom drank from then on; the little girl also remembers that when others said to the old man She also remembers that when people said to the old man that he would spoil her, the old man firmly refuted them: "I'm not educated enough to know that girls should be raised rich. Besides, if I don't treat her well, do I expect you to?" She still remembers ...... But time, ah, do not listen, even if the little girl misses the old man, even if the little girl has a thousand words to say to the old man, time will not be turned back, it will only send the old man further away, the little girl knows that the only thing she can do is to try to become happy, so that the old man is not far away also worry about her.

　　But is the old man really gone? Every time the little girl misses the old man, she will look up at the bright moon in the sky, the moon's shadow is like the figure of the old man, the little girl firmly believes that the old man has never left her, the old man just lives in the moon palace, night and day to guard and shine on her island. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the old man is a grumpy, stubborn old man, but in the little girl's heart, the old man is a unique existence, the old man is the first trace of warmth that the little girl felt in the cold world, and it is these warmth hidden in the girl's heart, decorated the girl's whole world, taught the girl to cherish and love. The old man is the hero of her life, is also the brightest light in her life, the girl knows, in her life, never again meet like the old man that treats her well without asking for anything in return.

　　The moon guards the lonely island, the lonely island reads the moon, the existence of each other is the most precious comfort for each other.
