A Shy Little Boy Named Mu
There was a new student at the kindergarten, and the teacher introduced him to everyone: “This is Xiao Mu…”
Wait, where’s Xiao Mu? Everyone looked around curiously. Oh, there he was, hiding behind the teacher!
Xiao Mu had his hands covering his face. The teacher said, “Xiao Mu is very shy. Let’s all clap our hands to give him some courage.”
Only then did Xiao Mu slowly lower his hands, and immediately, the children began to chatter…
The teacher rolled up her sleeves and said, “Look, kids, the teacher has a mole on her arm too!”
The children gathered around. Some stretched out their arms, some rolled up their pant legs, and others lifted their shirts.
The teacher asked, “Does anyone know why people get moles?”
Everyone shook their heads.
So, the teacher explained, “Before we were born, we were all little angels. Little angels and spirit birds were good friends. When the little angels were about to come to Earth and become babies, the spirit birds didn’t want to say goodbye. So, they used their tiny, shiny black beaks to kiss the little angels again and again. Eventually, those kisses left little black marks on the angels’ skin, and over time, those marks became moles. Maybe the spirit bird really liked Xiao Mu, so the mole on his face is a bit bigger.”
Xiao Mu smiled, but then Juanjuan began to cry. She said, “I’ve looked all over, but I can’t find any moles. Does that mean the spirit bird doesn’t like me?”
The teacher smiled and comforted her, “The spirit bird definitely kissed you, too. It just kissed you so lightly that it didn’t leave a mole. The teacher likes you, so let me kiss you on behalf of the spirit bird.”
The teacher gave Juanjuan a kiss on her arm and used a black marker to draw a little dot.
“Wow, now we all have moles!” All the children cheered.
