There is an old small hotel by the sea called 52HZ. The sign at the door reads: Animal Exclusive Hotel.
It was a bird called Gushe. It stopped steadily at the door of the hotel, shook the water on its wings, and the smell of the salty sea came to my nostrils. It just flew across the sea, experienced raging storms, roaring thunder and huge waves. At this moment, it just wants to take a comfortable bath, lie on a soft mattress, drink a cup of hot tea, and then do it again A sweet dream without storms.
It walked into the hotel. The dim lights illuminated the wooden tables. The owls were playing the guitar and singing. The foxes who had just gotten off work each ordered a large plate of fried rice. A few foxes gathered around in the corner. The big buffalo's shoulders kept shrugging, and from time to time it burst out into loud laughter, shaking the dim little lamp above its head.
A big white bear bumped Gushe with its elbow and said mysteriously: "The boss is bragging again."
Only then did Gushe realize that the man lying in the corner There was a skinny old man, wearing fisherman's overalls and a hat with four or five holes on his head. His face could not be seen clearly, but occasionally he could be heard laughing with coughing.
He was telling a story, a story about a fisherman and a whale:
"I was still very young at that time, and I liked to listen to the old man next door telling stories about rivers and lakes. What are rivers and lakes? I I don’t know. I only know that I live by the sea, and conquering the sea is every fisherman’s dream.
So on a sunny day, I drove my boat out to find my place. , became a generation of heroes. The first opponent I met was a big turtle with a white beard. I pointed at it with a small sword made of wood and yelled: "Hey! "
The big turtle can talk. It seems to be chewing something constantly. It speaks very slowly. It asked me: "What do you want to do?" "
I said I wanted to be a hero who conquered the ocean.
The big turtle said: "Then why did you come to me? You should go find the whale, he is the king of the ocean. "
"Where is it? How can I find it? "
The big turtle smiled and said, "It is deep in the sea. Let me give you a ride." ”
The big turtle sneezed loudly, and I flew out from its back. Riding the waves, I looked at each other with a white seabird.
Finally I fell into the sea, where a group of fish were dancing. They surrounded me, and one of the fish with a horse face picked me up on its back.
They asked me: "Who are you?" Who, from where, and what to do? "
I said: "I want to be a hero who conquers the sea and comes to fight with whales. "
They suddenly burst out with huge laughter, laughing at my overestimation.
The horse-faced fish said: "It is deep in the sea. I am here to give you a ride. Bar. ”
The fish suddenly gathered together. They seemed to form a huge racket and flew me away. I once again came face to face with the seabirds in the sky.
Just when I didn’t know where to go, a shark came. It seemed to be afraid of me and quietly asked me why I was here.
I said I wanted to conquer the sea. Hero, go fight with the whale.
The shark seemed to be frightened by my words, and suddenly asked me: "Do you know where you are? ”
“I don’t know, is it far away from the whale?” "
"Not far. There is a whale at your feet. ”
I lay on the ground and put my head into the water. I saw the huge black shadow seemed to open its eyes. I jumped up from the back of the whale and kept using my wooden sword. Poke it on the back.
"Bang!" "The wooden sword was broken.
I kept punching and kicking the whale, but the "land" under my feet was calm as if nothing happened.
The shark looked at me leisurely and said: "Don't waste your efforts, no one can defeat the whale. Your strength seems to be tickling it."
I was tired of struggling, so I sat down and asked breathlessly: "Do you know how to defeat the whale?"
"I don't know how to defeat the whale, but I know that you have already lost to the whale. ”
The shark said that there were many people looking for a duel with the whale, but none of them could beat the whale. Whenever they come, the whale will throw the duels off its back, leaving them for the sharks' dinner.
When I lowered my head, I saw many sharks in the sea not far away. They were staring at me, their eyes turning green.
I stood up and kicked it angrily. This guy really had no moral character. I kicked it like crazy, hit it, bit it, I wanted a real duel.
The whale seemed to be irritated by me. It jumped up from the sea, and I felt like the ground was shaking. Its tail just slapped the water, and I flew up from its back. At that moment, I I saw countless sharks jumping up and opening their bloody mouths at me.
I thought I was dead, but I happened to land on a fishing boat. The waves were huge, the fish were surging, and soon it was a storm. "
"What happened next? "Someone asked, "Have you encountered that whale again? "
"No more. Who wants to find that guy who has no martial ethics? ”
“It does not lack martial ethics. "A white water bird poked out from behind the buffalo. It squeezed in and placed a seascape photo on the table. On the sea at sunset, there was a whale and a child.
Gu She said: "I also heard a story, a story about a whale. "
"There is a whale in the deep sea. It is huge and powerful. It is called the king of the sea. But this king is very lonely. He can't hear any sounds, not the sounds of joy, pain, or sadness. It can't see any color. The blue sea is gray in its eyes, the colorful fish are gray in its eyes, and the sun rises and sets without any change in its world.
When it approaches a school of fish, the fish will be scared away. When it approaches a water bird, the water bird will be shot into the water. Only sharks will approach it when they are hungry. Even if the shark group disperses when it is full, it is still willing to help the sharks obtain food for this short stay.
Later it met a little boy, and that was the first time it felt the body temperature of another life coming from its back. It watched him sometimes lose his temper and jump around on its back, and sometimes became dejected. Even though it couldn't hear his voice, it made him feel the happiness of being close.
The good times did not last long. The hungry sharks surrounded him again, staring at the little boy on his back. For the first time, he didn't want the person on his back to become shark food. He floated quietly on the sea, looking for passing fishing boats, hoping to send the people on his back back to his own world.
More and more sharks were gathering around, but the people on their backs suddenly became violent for some unknown reason. The whale saw a shark approaching the little boy quietly, so he jumped out of the sea with all his strength, patted the little boy out, and then started fighting with the sharks.
From then on, the little boy was no longer around the whale, and there were no more sharks who dared to get close to him. But he didn't feel lonely at all. He spent the rest of his time missing a friend. "
There was silence in the restaurant. The buffalo listening to the story lowered his head and quietly looked at the motionless old fisherman. After a while, the withered yellow hand reached up the table and stopped on the photo.
No one saw his expression, but the hand suddenly trembled, like a withered tree branch in winter, shaking off the last leaf, blown by the sea breeze, and floated to the depths of the ocean, to make an appointment that was long overdue. .
