(Dad sings:) Tim Fairshaw, Tim Fairshaw,

He said he was never afraid of cows.

(Tim sings:) daddy windbreaker, daddy windbreaker,

Mom's cake made his mouth water.

(Sing together:) Wandering shoemaker, wandering shoemaker,

Even if the forest is deep and dark,

Even if the road is rugged and long,

The rushing water can't stop us!

Wander, wander,

We two shoemakers!

Huoxie and Fengxie sang "Song of the Wandering Shoemaker" all the way, roaming in the countryside. Huo Xie's name is Tim. He is a little boy who has just turned seven. Windshoe is his father, a poor shoemaker, who usually works in the basement. It happened that Tim had a holiday, and his father took him to the country to be a stray shoemaker. Although the life of a wandering shoemaker is quite hard, it is romantic and exciting for Tim. Listen, how happy the father and son are singing!

Tiny Tim is not very happy at ordinary times. To tell the truth, he was really worried to death at school. He is fat and short, the whole class is his, and the whole school is his. The classmates all called him "poodle" or "chubby boy", and the hooligan even made up such a jingle: "Tim's dwarf melon, playing across the bridge, was crushed and fell on the big party!" In fact, the students are not really malicious, but Tim is bored. Moreover, his family is so poor that they can only live in the basement and rely on their father's craftsmanship to make a living.

Tim's father is a skilled shoemaker. He can tell great stories. Dad always tries to enlighten upset Tim, but he won't listen to anything. One day, he even shouted that he didn't want to be "the son of the basement shoemaker". So on Tim's seventh birthday, his parents gave him a mysterious gift: a pair of red children's shoes, a pair of big shoes worn by adults, and a large and small backpack. Dad told Tim to take him on a trip after school. Have you ever received such an exciting birthday present?

Dad gave Tim a new name-"Fireshoes Tim", and Mom and Tim also gave Dad a new name-"Windshoes". A week after your birthday, you will have a holiday. The wandering adventure of fire shoes and wind shoes began. They took the train from the city to the foot of the mountain, climbed mountains, crossed forests, crossed rivers and visited scattered villages and towns. If the villagers have old and worn shoes that need mending, Father Windshoe will spread out his tools to work. Simple villagers will give some wages and often enthusiastically provide accommodation for the father and son. If there is no work to repair shoes in the village, they will have to leave and continue to wander. When they are lucky, they can sleep comfortably in farmhouses and barns; When they are unlucky, they have to camp out in the Woods and wheat fields-Fireshoes Tim doesn't think camping out is "unlucky", he feels very comfortable sleeping under the stars.

Fire shoes and wind shoes are a pair of best partners. They didn't feel bored at all during the trip, because the wind shovel is an excellent storyteller, and the fire shovel is a good storyteller who is hard to find with lanterns. Papa fire evil always has some wonderful stories at your fingertips-the star rabbit, the bow on the pig's tail, the old fish blowing waves, the sad little black sheep, the long-nosed woman and so on. They are always consistent with the environment and mood, making Huo Xie laugh, guiding him to have fantasies and bringing him endless inspiration.

Unconsciously, Tim became more and more cheerful and easy-going. In the interaction with rural children, Tim gradually dismissed jokes such as "obesity". He plays with them and even plays jokes on each other. When leaving, the children shouted to him to come again next time, "Don't be as thin as an elephant!" " He replied, well, "as fat as a bird's leg!" " "

As the days passed, the wandering "heroes" began to feel homesick. It's really hard to be homesick. There is a little red riding hood woven by my mother on the fireshoes, and a cigar sent by my mother in the windshoes, wandering on the road without soul. Tim Fairshaw can't help thinking. He wanted to go home, have a car and get on a plane ... These wishes gave Father Fairshus an unexpected stimulus, so he told him an unprecedented wonderful story-"I want ... I have ... I can ...". The story goes something like this:

Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was "I want … I have … I can …", and his wish always came true. As long as he wants something, no matter what it is, he can always get it right away. If he doesn't want to go to school, the teacher will have a toothache; He wants to run fast, so he can fly on two legs. You can have as many good clothes and toys as you want, even cars, houses and gardens. This should have been a happy thing, but this ability has brought trouble to the boy. He has too many things, but he becomes bored. And what he wants, he can't say "I don't want it". Once he wanted to travel by boat and was homesick on the way. He won't come back until the ship sails to America! From then on, the little boy became very cautious. He is always thinking hard and can't figure out what he wants.

Fire evil likes this story very much. He was very concerned about the little boy's later story. He was worried about "what he wanted", but Huo Xie told him that it was a story with no ending.

Everything will be over. One day, two vagrants decided to go home. The last day of the trip to Zhuang will arrive soon. Huo Xie and Xie Feng hurried home, waiting for their mother's warm welcome.

Everything at home is new and beautiful to Tim. He had a warm conversation with his parents. When Tim went to bed, he suddenly found the end of the story. He told his father that this name is "I want ... I have ... I can ..." He was tired and stupid when he was tortured by many wishes. Just say a word and things will be simple. Tim came up with this ending, which made mom and dad feel extremely gratified.

Why don't you think about it first? What kind of sentences and endings did Tim come up with? Maybe you have a better answer?

The story of fire boots and wind boots is coming to an end. At the end, the German woman writer Will Forjao, our wandering hero, fell asleep sweetly-the return of the wanderer, simple, calm and happy. The shoemaker's son Tim is short and fat, and his family is poor. He confided to his father in distress: "Be a boy again". His parents decided to give him a birthday present on his birthday-a pair of children's shoes and a backpack-to let him roam with his father, so an old motif was repeated again and again, and he grew up all the way. In playing with strangers of the same age and in contact with nature (animals and plants), Tim Fairshaw fell in love with himself named Tim in every story of his father, and he was no longer afraid of being laughed at by his friends. Everyone is not perfect to some extent, no matter who they are, they just present themselves in different ways, some are explicit and some are implicit. When we grow up, we will know how to balance our strengths and weaknesses with a rational attitude. However, what should we do when we are young? Complaining about inferiority in childhood will be like a monster in a bottle. Once it is released, it will be unimaginable, and it is not others who open the cork, but adults themselves. Tiny Tim in the book finally bravely walked out of the fence under the careful arrangement of his parents.

In this book, it is his father who plays the auxiliary leading role in the roaming process, not only his companion on the journey, but also the author skillfully takes his father's storytelling as a symbol to increase his courage to overcome difficulties again and again. This practice of nesting big stories with small stories is called nesting in narrative theory. Folk stories have long existed. Scheherazade's wonderful stories are linked together, and they are put in the background of avoiding the murder of the king. Later, Boccaccio's decameron in the Renaissance also took turns telling stories to relieve loneliness. "Fire shoes and wind shoes" use this structure to strengthen education. The father calmed the child's uneasy heart through narration. Although the purpose is obvious, what we feel from it is an adult image who bends down to communicate with children. Fire is actually a very instructive work, which tells how a person should overcome his inferiority complex and dare to accept himself. The content is simple, slightly thin, and only the affectionate and occasional humorous descriptions that permeate the text from beginning to end make me unforgettable.

After reading this book, all the feelings are condensed into four words: "lick the calf deeply." Because it is this affectionate shoemaker from a poor family who makes his children feel confident in different ways; And let me deeply understand that not all "poor couples" are "sad". The life interpreted by the shoemaker's husband and wife is a humble control of fate and a beacon that can illuminate people in similar situations.

What could be more embarrassing than having a nickname called "poodle" or "little chubby"! What could be more frustrating than being short and fat! JJ Dim unfortunately encountered these "unlucky things". As the fattest and shortest person in the class, he will be "sad and angry" and "often cry for it" when he is rudely called by others. He tried to work to earn money to buy fruit and sugar for school students, thinking that they would stop laughing at him, but he didn't. "Once they found Tim interesting, they laughed." Sometimes, he also saves money to buy a chocolate for his mother, a pack of cigars for his father and a lollipop for himself. Whenever this happens, my father always shouts, "Today is really a good day!" " ""Our family has a holiday! " "I put away the shoemaker's tools, lit a cigar and put it to my mouth. "I recall my experience as a wandering shoemaker, and Tim and his mother sat there eating chocolate and lollipops. But the days are not always so warm and quiet. Tim's seventh birthday is coming, but he jingles, "Tim, fat melon, play across the bridge, the bridge is crushed, you have a big party!" " "The blow completely made him lose confidence. What he wanted most for his birthday was not to be" Tim "any more. Just then, my father took out a secret weapon: giving Tim a completely different gift, which other students could not get from their parents.

This mysterious gift that mom and dad kept secret made Tim both excited and uneasy. The day before his birthday, he couldn't concentrate on class at all. "When reading aloud, he didn't know which page to turn the book to. When doing arithmetic, shout'11-2 = 7'. When the teacher asked when Christmas was, Tim shouted, "Tomorrow!" "Not only that, his mother asked him to buy salt (SALZ), and he bought back soap; Let him buy a lemon (Zitrone), he buys a cigar (Zigarren), ... On the eve of his birthday, Tim can't sleep. After his father finished the story and his mother sang five lullabies, Tiny Tim fell asleep. Seeing this, I can't help smiling, recalling the activities I encountered when I was a child, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for long.

What is that mysterious birthday present? It turned out to be: put on a pair of brand-new red children's shoes called "fire shoes", carry my mother's hand-sewn backpack, walk into the mountains, go to lonely farmhouses and dotted small mountain villages, and wander while working. The son of Fireshoes and the father of Windshoes began a real roaming. I don't need to say more about the details on the way, although this is a process for Dim to completely find himself and self-confidence. The most touching thing is that whenever Tiny Tim's thoughts fluctuate, the shoemaker's father has a corresponding story. Not all parents have the imagination to give a pair of ordinary shoes the title of "fire shoes". The shoemaker's father has such wisdom! He doesn't preach rigidly, and he doesn't have a noble father to preach. He is like a friend, standing from the child's point of view, observing the child's psychological fluctuations and guiding the child towards positive health. Although they have always been poor, they can't travel, but whose travel experience can match the romance of this father and son? The most precious thing is that the shoemaker's father knows his wealth: experience+optimism+positive attitude towards life. He wanted to pass these on to his children one by one, and he did it, better than any parent!

Today, when we encourage children with material things and induce them with abundance, have you ever thought about what children really need? The same licking calf depth, will there be different results? Back in time, the past is vivid.

It turns out that the neighbor who lives on the first floor of the next unit is a family of four with two sons. The boss is my classmate and was assigned to a large state-owned enterprise in the province in 1995. Lao Yao suffers from polio and has been carried to school by his father and brother. After graduating from junior high school, I stayed at home and did nothing because of my poor grades. Although my father's meager salary is not very comfortable at home, my parents are diligent in growing vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and their faces often show a satisfied smile. 1March, 997, it was this little son who was carefully taken care of by his parents who threw the bought tetramine into the instant rice for breakfast! Their father left in pain, and their mother survived after being rescued. After being put on file by the Public Security Bureau, Lao Yao was quickly arrested and sentenced to death. In the subsequent experience, everyone can see the mother's obvious sudden increase in white hair, as well as the pain that can't be erased from her dim eyes. It never rains but it pours. Not long after, my eldest brother who went home to visit his mother suddenly fell ill. It is a terminal disease that no one expected, and it was invalid when it was sent to the provincial capital for treatment. The mother who lost three relatives in a row couldn't hold on any longer and soon committed suicide at home. Caught off guard, in just a few months, their family of four was gone.

Many years later, when I think about it, my heart is still heavy, and I still feel a big stone on my chest. At the time of the incident, I was agitated and wanted to alert more people, but I couldn't move my pen. When the crime of killing father and mother is exposed again and again, we are doing introspection again and again. How I hope that the beauty in the novel not only appears in the novel, but also comes from real life! If parents not only care about their children's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also pay attention to their psychological growth and temperament changes, perhaps the tragedy will not repeat itself. However, in most traditional families in China, how many parents can think from their children's perspective and forgive their children when they encounter problems?

Every time I pass by my neighbor's vacant apartment, I seem to see the cordial greetings from my host. I shook my head and wanted to bury the past. I didn't expect the beauty of fire shoes and wind shoes to reveal this paragraph. I think this is exactly what we as parents should study hard.
