Mother and child Story: The Flower in the Rain
I’m your mischievous child; I sneaked out of the house. Through the woods, across the bridge, I played to my heart’s content on the bright lakeshore. I forgot about you, and I forgot about home. Please forgive me, Mom. (Read these lines with a playful, naughty tone.)
I went chasing a butterfly; it flew into the woods and hid inside a little flower. I didn’t want to catch it anymore because that little flower was its sweet home. By the lake, I watched a man fishing; the green little fish looked just like fresh tender pods. I also saw an old man using a sheep bone as bait, and he caught so many hopping, jumping little shrimps! I asked the man for a fish, and I asked the old man for a shrimp. I promised I wouldn’t eat them. I have a big fish tank at home to give them a home, where they can grow up. (Read these lines with a gentle tone, conveying the child’s innocence and care for the small creatures.)
Suddenly, it started to rain; the raindrops were heavy and quick, hitting my cheeks—it hurt and tingled. People were running, and at that moment, I thought of home, and I thought of you, Mom. (Read these lines a bit faster, expressing surprise at the sudden change in weather and a realization of thinking of Mom.)
Looking at the rainy sky, I remembered how you loved flowers with dewdrops. I picked wildflowers in the rain, one bunch after another. I was so happy because I could give you a bouquet of flowers with dewdrops! I headed home. But then, I felt a little scared. (Read these three lines with a joyful and heartfelt tone, expressing the child’s carefree joy and love for their mother.)
I’m a disobedient child; just now, I really shouldn’t have sneaked out of the house. Maybe because of this, you’ll scold me or even spank me? Looking at the flowers in my hand, I wondered, Mom, would you? (Read these three lines with a questioning tone, conveying the child’s anxiety and uncertainty, but also a glimmer of hope in their heart for having picked flowers for their mother.)
