“Him dear friend, do you still remember the first time when we met each other?”I ask my sunglasses, lost in contemplation.
“Of course, my honorific master, it was your grandfather who brought me to you, and as soon as you got me, I could feel that you loved me from the bottom of your heart. You carried me no matter where you were and even when you went to sleep, you also kept me beside your pillow. Since I am a sunglasses, you can use me to observe the sun without any harm. At that time, do you know, my friend, I was so happy to accompany you every day. But…But now…”.The sunglasses answers, feeling a bit sad.
“But…but what? Do you want to say that I have changed since I grow up?” I would like to immediately be confirmed.
“Well, to tell you the truth, I really feel that you have changed much. You are no longer the one you were. You become so serious and smiles disappear from your face. Do you know how long I have not seen you smile?” He replies.
I lower my head, get embarrassed and my face start to turn red.
“Everything that you say about me can be taken as gospel. But you know, I don’t want to be this. In China, when everyone grow up, he(she) must take his(her) study, work and family into consideration. He (she) needs to take a lot of responsibility. In this way, one can not be as carefree as before.”
“Just as you see, I have another glass. It can only help me read, write and see the blackboard, since I am shortsighted. But you know, I don’t like it as I love you. Often I leave it in the side, by the window, on the washbasin. Besides, it’s not convenient to play basketball, play football and swim with it on the nose. I always get hurt with it. Last time I played basketball, I hurt my eyes and the glass was broken. The most of all, it takes all my happiness away but leaves a lot of homework to me which am never at an end.”
“I really would like to return to the past. Walking in the fields with you. Lying under a tree with you. And catching fish in the river with you.”
“But it’s too late!!!” I am seized with remorse.
“It’s not late, my dear friend, I am waiting for you all the time.”
“Really, ok, let’s go!”
