Continuation of "The Cricket in Times Square"

1. The Cricket Returns

--Continuation of <>

After the Cricket finished playing, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. 783 fans came up to hug it, and each gave it a kiss and a dollar. Cricket saw one of the people carrying a food basket. It turned out to be the tourist. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He held his hand and said, "Take me back to my hometown in Connecticut!" "Okay!" So he stuffed the cricket into the basket and moved it smoothly. I stuffed another copy of the New York Times in and got in the car. On the way, the bored tourist flipped through the newspaper and read: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a heavy rainstorm that has not happened in a thousand years in the Connecticut area, followed by flash floods and another mudslide. The police have evacuated all residents... ." Cricket couldn't help but return home, worried about the four friends in his hometown. He was afraid that they would lose their lives in vain the day after tomorrow if they hadn't heard about it yet.

When he arrived at his hometown, the tourist said: "I can only send it here. When I traveled here before, I saw a broken house on the mountain over there. The door was locked. You can go and take shelter from the rain. "Thank you, goodbye!" The cricket flew across the creek with his luggage. When he saw it, the duck was still sleeping in the nest, and his fur was in tatters. The cricket shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up and get to the top of the mountain to take shelter from the rain!" "Humph, you are rich now? Wear a suit and tie and you dare to order me? I ignore you! The weather is very nice now. There is no rain. Hide Your head!" "You~~~ I'll give you 20 dollars, you go quickly!" "Well, for the sake of money, I'll go!" The duck took the money and walked to the top of the mountain.

Cricket found three other friends and led them to the top of the mountain. When he saw it, the door was indeed locked.

Everyone couldn't get in. They were in a daze. Cricket hurriedly said: "Who can dig a hole? I'll pay 20 dollars!" The groundhog and rabbit said in unison: "Me!" So they accepted the money and quickly dug a tunnel. Everyone got in together and opened the lock from the inside.

As soon as I came in, there were dark clouds outside. The Cricket looked up at the roof. There were holes everywhere, and said quickly: "Who will fly up to repair it? I will pay 20 dollars!" The chicken and duck said together: "Me!" So the Cricket paid the money and asked them to go up and repair the roof. Suddenly, it started pouring rain outside, and then someone knocked on the door. Cricket opened the door and saw that it was a mouse, trembling, and said, "Let me in? My hole is flooded!" "Okay! Hurry! Come in!"

As soon as he closed the door, a black shadow rushed in and pounced on the mouse. When the cricket saw it, it turned out to be a cat. The cricket shouted hurriedly: "Don't eat it! I'll pay you 20 dollars to spare its life!" "Okay! I have another request, which is to spend the night here, because my hole is also flooded!" "Okay! "So those who can dig holes dig holes to sleep, and those who can't drill holes sleep where they are. Cricket went to the kitchen to find a matchbox, got in and fell asleep. With the sound of rushing water ringing in our ears, everyone spent the night on tenterhooks.

Early the next morning, the sky cleared up. When I opened the door, I saw that the mudslide had swept away everything at the bottom of the mountain. Everyone jumped up happily after surviving the disaster. The cricket said: "Let's have a party!" "Okay!" So everyone went to the room to pick around, rummaged through the cabinets, found an expired bottle of Coca-Cola, and then started the party. Cricket played "Return to Sorrento" and everyone was mesmerized. Rats are always greedy for food and drink. When people are not prepared, they drink the entire bottle of Coke

and become excited. They step on their legs and overturn the matchbox. The matches catch fire and burn the newspaper. The cricket hurriedly said: "Quickly put out the fire with Coke!" "Drink it all!" "Then who can put out the fire? I will pay 20 yuan! (Looking like an American capitalist, hey) The groundhog responded hurriedly: "Me! I have received special training! ""good! "After receiving the money, the groundhog stirred up the sand and put out the fire in a few clicks. The cricket's luggage was fine, the money was fine, half of the matchbox was burned, half of its tentacles were missing, and the mouse's whiskers were missing. Two, the duck's feathers were half burned, the chicken's tail was gone, and the cat's whiskers were completely missing. Everyone complained to each other and went out to look for each house at the foot of the mountain, only to see that everyone's nests and holes were gone, and the grass was gone. There is no grass, it is all yellow mud, the big tree stump is still there, but the cricket hole next to it is gone. The cricket broke off a new willow branch, biting the green willow leaves on it, thinking about the future. Fortunately, everyone had a lot of dollars in their pockets, so they happily started rebuilding their homes. Soon, they found a new home again.

This time it was a blessing in disguise. I remember that Cricket saved their lives and supported him as the king. The palace was located on the top of the mountain.
