Yesterday I was sitting on the merry-go-round. On the way up the mountain in the middle of the night, I saw two little girls carrying lanterns and following their parents and grand parents up the mountain. There should be no children who can refuse the magic of the merry-go-round, especially in the forest at night. It’s a coincidence that sitting next to me was one of the little girls. There was a grandma standing next to her. Grandma told her granddaughter: Be careful not to fall, and what to do if you get injured? The grandpa in the distance said: Don’t worry too much, she knows. At this time, I heard the little girl sitting on the wooden horse say: I will protect myself. Looking at her frowning eyes and hearing her firm tone, what she shows is firmness. The tone declared to everyone: I can do it, like a brave female warrior. At this moment, I thought to myself: Many children have brave traits since they were young, and they may be worn away under the unconscious worry or protection of adults when grown up. After that, it will be difficult for them to find a way to regain the courage to face life.
