Travel companions in classic fables and fairy tales

Poor Johannes is really sad because his father is very ill and can't get well easily. Only two of them live in this small house, and there is no one else. The light on the table is going out, and the night is already deep.

"john ness, you are a good boy!" The sick father said, "Our God will help you in this world!" " "So he looked at him solemnly and lovingly, took a deep breath and died; It seems that he is asleep. John ness began to cry. He has no relatives, father and mother in this world now. No sisters, no brothers. Poor john ness! He knelt in front of the bed, kissed his dead father's hand and shed many bitter tears, but finally closed his eyes and leaned his head against the hard bed board and fell asleep.

At this time, he had a strange dream: he saw the sun and the moon bow to him, saw his father become lively and healthy again, and laughed as usual when he heard his father was happy. A lovely girl-wearing a golden crown on her beautiful long hair-held out her hand to john ness. His father said, "Do you see how beautiful your bride is now? She is the most beautiful girl in the world! " So he woke up and all these beautiful things disappeared. His father lay cold and stiff in bed, with no one else to accompany them. Poor john ness!

The deceased was buried in the second week. John ness followed the coffin to attend the funeral; From then on, he will never see this loving and kind father again. He heard people covering the coffin with mud and saw the last corner of the coffin with his own eyes. But with a shovel of earth, you can't even see this corner. At this point, his heart seemed to be broken with sadness. People sang hymns around him so beautifully that john ness couldn't help crying. He shouted; It's good to cry when you're sad. The sun shines brightly on the green trees, as if to say, "john ness! You will never feel sad again. The sky is so beautiful and blue. Did you get a look at him? Your father is up there, and he is asking the merciful God to make you happy forever! "

"I want to be a good person forever," Johannes said, "so I can go to heaven to see my father; How happy we will be if we meet again! How much I will have to tell him! He will show me many things; He will teach me many beautiful things in heaven as he did when he was alive. Oh, what a happy thing that will be! "

John ness couldn't help laughing when he thought of these scenes as if he had seen them with his own eyes. At the same time, his tears rolled on his face. Birds perched high on the chestnut tree and sang, "Ji Zha! Hey! " Although I also attended the funeral, I was still very happy; But they know very well that the deceased has gone to heaven and has grown wings-these wings are much wider and more beautiful than theirs; He is happy now, because he was a good man before his death. They are all happy for him. John ness saw them flying from the green trees to the wide world, and he wanted to fly with them very much. But first he made a wooden cross and put it on his father's grave. When he sent the cross at night, the grave was already decorated with sand and flowers-all these were made by some strangers, because all these people liked their dead dear father.

Early the next morning, john ness packed a small bundle of luggage and put all the property he inherited-fifty dollars and a few small silver coins-into his belt. He took this thing to the world. But first he went to the churchyard, saw his father's grave and read the Lord's prayer. So he said, "Goodbye, dear dad! I want to be a good person forever. You can boldly pray to the merciful God and ask him to bless me all the best. "

John ness is walking in the field. In the warm sunshine, the flowers in the field are bright and beautiful. They nodded in the wind, as if to say, "welcome to the green grass." Do you think this is a good idea? But Johannes turned his head and looked at the old church again; He was baptized there when he was a child and went to church with his father to sing hymns every Sunday. Then he saw the goblin in the church, standing high in a window hole in the church tower. He wore a pointed little red riding hood and bent his arm to cover his face so that the sun wouldn't shine on his eyes. John ness nodded to him and said goodbye. The goblin waved a red hat, put his hand on his heart, and blew kisses with his fingers, indicating how much he hoped john ness would be well and have a pleasant journey.

John ness thought how many beautiful things he would see in this vast and beautiful world. He went further and further-he had never gone that far before. He doesn't know all the cities he has traveled and all the people he has met. He is now among distant strangers.

The first night, he slept under a haystack in the field because he had no other bed. But he thinks it is also very interesting; Even a king can't be better than this. Here is a large field with streams, haystacks and blue sky; This is really a beautiful bedroom. The green grass with small red flowers and white flowers is a carpet, the elderberry bushes and the wild rose fence are bouquets, and the stream full of fresh water is his washbasin. The rushes in the stream bowed to him and wished him "good night" and "good morning". The moon hanging high under the blue ceiling is undoubtedly a huge night light, which will never burn the curtains. John ness can sleep peacefully; Actually, so is he. He slept until the sun came out, and all the birds around him sang to him, "Good morning! Good morning! Haven't you got up yet? "

The church bell rang, it was Sunday; Everyone went to listen to the preacher, and Johannes followed. He sang hymns and listened to God's teachings. He felt as if he had returned to the old church where he was baptized and sang hymns with his father.

There are many graves in the churchyard, some of which are covered with tall grass. John ness then remembered his father's grave: it must be like these graves, because he couldn't trim it. So he sat down and pulled out the weeds, erected the fallen cross again, and moved the wreath blown away by the wind back to the grave. At the same time, he thought, "since I am not at home, maybe someone will go to my father's grave!" " "

There is an old beggar outside the cemetery. He stood on crutches. John ness gave him all his silver coins, and then went on to the wide world with a happy mood.

At night, the weather suddenly became very bad. John ness hurried to find a hiding place, but the night was coming soon. Finally, he found a lonely little church on a mountain. Fortunately, the door has not been closed. He went in quietly: he was going to stay inside until the storm died down.

"I want to sit in this corner!" He said, "I am very tired and need a rest." So he sat down. He folded his hands and said evening prayers. There was lightning and thunder outside, and he fell asleep unconsciously and began to dream.

It was midnight when he woke up, but the storm was over and the moon shone through the window. In the center of the church stood an open coffin, in which lay a dead man who was not buried. John ness is not afraid at all, because his conscience is safe; At the same time, he is also very clear that the dead will not harm people, but the bad guys who can harm people are still alive. Now there are two such bad guys. They were standing right next to the dead. The deceased was parked in the church, waiting to be buried. They wanted to hurt him, not to let him sleep in a coffin, but to throw him outside the church-poor dead man!

"Why did you do such a thing?" John ness asked: "This is wrong and bad." For God's sake, let him rest. "
