Chapter 13 seaside coconut

A friend from Pingtung drove me to the seaside, because coconuts are in abundance, and we are all lovers of coconut water. My friend said: "If you don't go to the seaside to eat coconuts, Taiwan's coconuts are too expensive." We found a farmer on the seashore who had several coconuts. While helping us open the coconuts, he said: "It's so dangerous! After several typhoons this year, I thought the coconuts would be blown off, but I didn't expect them to grow stronger. Then, the old farmer said thoughtfully: "The coconut tree is working hard to grow coconuts, which is the best protest against the wind and rain."

We ate a big meal of coconuts, and took another car full of coconuts. On the way back, I kept reminiscing about the refreshing taste of coconuts and what the old man said. For the decline of literature, a writer's hard work is the best protest. For malicious attacks and slanders, a writer's work is the best protest. For those greedy and despicable people, improving the realm of their own works is the best protest. The bounden duty of the coconut tree is to grow coconuts well, and the responsibility of the writer is to write good works, no matter the weather or the weather. In fact, there is nothing to protest. The coconut tree grows so tall that ordinary people can only gesticulate under the tree!

For the fearless coconut tree, all the wind and rain are applause and praise!
