I placed an order with the universe essay

-1-

"Place an Order to the Universe" is a very fun game.

The universe is a lonely old man, living alone in a very large galaxy.

He seems to be too bored, so he often raises his ears to pry into the secrets of the people on earth.

One day, this bad old man heard my shameful secret.

I was a little angry, but he told me: "I can let you realize your secret, as long as you can make me happy."

I quietly thought in my heart: "Okay Well, after all, he doesn’t live on the earth. Even if he spreads my secret around, I won’t know that I’m being made fun of.”

I happen to be quite bored, so I play with this lonely old man. Let's play some games.

The universe stroked his beard, which was longer and whiter than Santa Claus’s beard, and said: “My child, please place an order for me first.”

At that time, I didn’t quite understand what I really wanted because I was timid and always afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do anything that was beyond the routine of life.

However, I thought since it was just for fun, I would just write whatever I wanted. I remember I took an aqua pen and wrote the word "photography" on a golden note paper. .

Then he folded it, presented it with both hands, and gave it to the universe.

The universe reached out and took my order, and then said with a face full of suspense: "Little girl, our game has officially begun."

In fact, at that time, I I feel like he's a psycho who hasn't taken any medicine.

But I have already promised him.

He said: "Starting from today, before you go to bed at night, silently recite the word photography three times in your mind."

When I continued this boring game on the 22nd day At that time, strange things happened in my life.

A group of photographers actually came to my school to take pictures of kingfishers. I thought, oh my God, I have never seen them in my three years in college.

After two or three days, there was a magical force that pushed me step by step closer to the photographer holding the SLR, and then I said with all my strength: "Uncle, what are you taking pictures of? I really want to Take a look."

The uncle wearing the hat raised a very happy smile and said quickly: "We are taking pictures of kingfishers. There is a kingfisher standing on a bamboo pole in the lake. . I just waited for it to fly up and take pictures of it.”

Then he asked me to stand on tiptoes, stretch my neck, and squint to look at his camera.

Wow, what a beautiful kingfisher!

Emerald and delicate blue feathers, bright yellow claws, a bulging belly, and a pointed beak extending into the wing nests, whether it is coquettish or angry.

At that moment, I felt that the world I saw through the lens and the world I saw with glasses were not only different in high-definition pixels, but also lacked aura and texture.

When I left the lake, I saw my uncles staring at the camera with their hands on the shutter; some were lying motionless in the short bushes; some were hunched over their backs. Wearing a SLR.

Just waiting for the moment when the kingfisher takes flight.

I know that something about photography has sprouted in my heart

I began to think that this game is very fantasy, and I am eager to continue playing.

I began to look forward to the time before going to bed every day when I could spend time with "photography".

I gently closed my eyes, traveled through the world of materialistic desires and greed, and lay beside the ear of the old man of the universe.

Then, with squinting eyes, she told him: "Grandpa, Grandpa, I want to meet friends in the photography industry."

The cleanest smile is the most charming.

The universe said that what he can’t bear the most is others smiling with squinted eyes, which will make him fascinated and make him embarrassed to live up to my little wish.

I usually spend a few seconds thinking about my order.

In December, when the golden ginkgo trees were flying all over the sky, something strange happened.

It was a weekend, and my good friend Huaer came to school to play with me.

I plan to take her to my favorite "Shop No. 81" on the back street to drink milk tea, and then stay there together to watch my favorite movie: "Lost Horizon".

While walking on the road, she said she wanted to see the ginkgo trees for a while.

So I took her to the Ginkgo Avenue, which was a little further away.

An incredible thing happened.

While walking on the road, a man who was as old as a grandpa grabbed me and said to his companion: "If you take a picture of her, just take a picture of her. Her red clothes and this yellow one The combination of ginkgo is really great."

After a second or two, he came to his senses and asked me: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Will you be a model for us for a while?"

I was very shy, nervous and nervous and nodded.

Then I held the flowers and took pictures of ginkgo trees all afternoon.

It seems that the word photography can always bring me to unlock a new world view in my old life circle.

For example, I never knew that the afterglow of the setting sun at four o’clock in the afternoon could create a texture that was beyond my imagination.

I told one of my older friends that I wanted to pick up a SLR. I felt like I hadn’t touched one in a year.

He taught me to re-familiarize myself with basic things like focus, composition, and button presses.

I don’t know if he looked too stupid for me holding a SLR, so he went to search for other friends, and then added QQ, dragging me into their photography circle. .

Later, when I wasn’t in class, I often played with them.

That night, I told Mr. Universe: "Grandpa, this game is really too fantasy. Why do I feel like the order I placed with you seems to be all over the world?" Are you helping me realize it?"

He also imitated me and squinted his eyes when smiling, making his white beard tremble.

Then he pretended to be profound and said: "The universe will help you fulfill your orders."

I asked him: "Are they all orders?"

He said: "Yes! But I have to be very happy to write. If I don't make an order that makes me happy, I will just put it aside."

Then I thought: If I could become a Not only can I meet many interesting friends through the appointment with the photographer, but I can also see the beauty hidden in every corner of the world. I can also earn a small amount of pocket money to buy cigarettes for my dad and sweaters for my mom. Wow. , this is great.

I seem to live in this kind of advance happiness every day, and I especially enjoy it.

I think about it every day, just want to own a SLR.

When I called my brother, I accidentally revealed my wish.

I thought I would be scolded for being fanciful, but my brother actually said: "I have a digital camera at home for fun. Come to my house to get it during the winter vacation."

At that moment, I felt This world is poisonous, because the probability of "my brother's family has a SLR" is as negative as "the rooster will lay eggs".

Okay, although in the end when I went to my brother’s house and saw the black and white SLR, I thought it must be that the old man from the universe was too boring and he was teasing me.

However, I am not angry because I know that one day he will complete my order.
