hey listen to the song been played and see this story...
Once, there this little boy who dislikes his granny because he think that old people are abit troublesome.His granny's house is far away from the boy's house so this boy hardly goes to his granny's house except for school holiday and some public holidays.There was once the boy's father left him with his granny for 1 month.For that 1 month,the boy felt boring and irritated.It is because there was no one the boy could play with.The boy can't really communicate with his granny because his granny is speaking dialect that he can't understand or speak.He bicker with his granny using different languanges.But the boy sure know one word his granny said.And that is to sleep(睡)(in teochew).His granny would called him to sleep when it's past 8 in the night.So the boy have no choice but to "sleep".When the boy saw the living went off,he knew that his granny had fallen asleep.So he would crawl out of bed and watch television till he finds himself tried.The boy is very active.During the day, he would run around the neighborhood and create some havocs making everyone in the village knows him.That's why his granny called him "siao gong zi"(疯公子)(in teochew).As the years goes by,the boy grew older and stronger while his granny grew older and weaker.The boy's visits to his granny became lesser and lesser due to schoolworks and the boy's CCAs(Co-Curricular Activities).The boy would rather attend his CCAs than to visit his granny.During a period when his granny is sick,this boy never ask much about his granny.But after the boy's mum numerous persuasions to visit his granny,the boy finally agreed to visit his granny after his some trial.3 days before his trial,he received a call from his mum that his granny is dead and asked him to pack up to prepare to go his granny's house.At that very moment,the boy was blaming his granny for dieing in a very wrong time.When the boy reaches his granny's house,he dare not enter from the front door as his granny's corpse is in the living room.(Perhaps he dare not face his granny?!)So he walk in by the back door to his room.He put down his bag pack and his dad called him to pray his granny.He can't believe what he saw.He saw the granny was so skinny and much smaller size than before and was close to see his granny's bones.The priest called him to help his granny wash her face and feed her food.So he did what he had been told to do.During the first 3 days of her wake,the boy did not sher any tears whereas the people around him were all weeping.The forth day, the boy was allow to return home to prepare for his trial.When the boy reaches the hall,alot of his friends asked him if he alright but he was smiling,replying everyone that he is okay.So he took the trial,it was not as good as he usually does.(Perhaps he felt sad but he did not know how to express it?!).So he return to the wake the fifth day.It was the day tat the coffin is to be bury.Again everyone was weeping but he doesn't.Few days later,the trial result was out,the boy managed to pass and the first person he think of is his...granny.
I'm that boy.我连她最后一面都没见到.真惭愧.She raised me up.I believe that the strongest relationship is kinship.So treasure them when they are alive,don't wait till they meet any mishaps then you feel regret.
What does not destroy me, make me stronger!!
