The Little Squirrel’s Bead
Today is the little squirrel’s birthday, and her mom gave her a red bead as a gift. The little squirrel loved the bead so much that she kept holding it close, unwilling to take it out, fearing that someone might snatch it away or that she might lose it.
One day, the little squirrel took her “precious bead” to the park to play. She was very happy because she had a beautiful red bead. She tossed the bead up into the sky one moment, then played with it in her hands the next. As she played, she came to a small bridge. Suddenly, she accidentally let go of the bead, and it fell into the river under the bridge. The little squirrel couldn’t swim, so she started crying loudly in distress.
A little turtle happened to be passing by and saw the squirrel crying. He asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” The little squirrel tearfully replied, “My bead fell into the river, but I can’t swim!” After saying this, she cried even more sadly. The little turtle, seeing how upset the squirrel was, said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go into the river and help you find your bead.” Hearing this, the little squirrel stopped crying.
After a long time, the little turtle surfaced and said to the squirrel, “I’m sorry, I searched the entire river but couldn’t find your bead.” Hearing this, the little squirrel ran home crying. When she got home, her mom saw her crying and was very surprised. She quickly asked what had happened. The little squirrel tearfully explained what had occurred. After listening, her mom said, “Silly child, why are you crying? I’ll just buy you another one!” Hearing this, the little squirrel smiled happily.
The next day, the little squirrel went to the turtle’s house to thank him. As soon as she entered, she saw the little turtle blaming himself. The little squirrel said to the turtle, “Don’t blame yourself anymore. My mom got me another one.” The little turtle asked, “Really?” “Of course,” the little squirrel replied, “but I saw something even more beautiful than the bead!” The little turtle asked, “What is it?” The little squirrel said, “It’s your heart!” The little turtle was overjoyed. From then on, they became good friends and played together every day, never wanting to be apart.
