Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Glove Festival

They sat on the stool for a long time, basking in the sun, very happy in their hearts, and no one felt sorry for the magic stick.I don't know how to say: "Can you realize your wish without relying on a magic stick?" "Why not?" replied the magician. "If the wish is big and good at the same time, then it can be." "I have a big wish: that everything here will be the same as it was when we first arrived, that the little pages will turn back into little people, and the three bad guys who turned into donkeys will still turn into donkeys, and , and asked the police officer Xiao Siren to recover and leave the hospital.”

"That's wonderful, that's a good wish, and it will come true," said the magician. "What about you? Little pushpin, what's your wish?" he asked little pushpin. "My wish is the same as the one who knows nothing," said little pushpin. "However, if I still have any wishes, I hope we can return to Baihua City as soon as possible. I don't know why I want to go home..." "That too can be done," said the magician. "What about you? Little Hualian, what wish do you have?" "I have many wishes." Xiao Hualian replied. "There are three of them."

"Ah!" said the magician in amazement. "Well, tell me." "First, I'd love to know, where is the lion that didn't know the rice? Will it eat us?" "Your wish is not difficult to achieve." The magician replied. "The lion is still in its own cage. When you ran away at night, the caretaker closed the cage, and the lion didn't have time to escape! You can rest assured that the lion can't eat anyone." "That's good." Xiao Hualian said. "My second wish is: I really want to know what the police did to the small rivets and cubes. We saw him go to the police station with them."

"That is not difficult to answer," said the magician. "The policeman helped Little Rivet fix the car, and let him go home with Little Fang. Because they didn't do anything bad." "My third wish is this," said Xiao Hualian. "Is it possible to never wash your face and at the same time be always clean?" "Hmm!" said the magician with difficulty. "That, baby, is hard to do. Even I can't. But if you want, I can make you feel good only after you wash your face. If you forget to wash your face regularly, the dirt will sting." Your face sticks like a pin until you wash your face. In this way, you will gradually learn to wash your face on time. This will make you feel great pleasure from washing your face. What do you think? Does this satisfy you? ?”

"Totally satisfied." "That's all right." At this time, three donkeys appeared in the distance of the road.To be more precise, there are two, because the third one is not a purebred donkey, but a mule.They came one by one, stepping on the ground lightly, wagging their tails lively, and moving their ears kindly.They are followed by a cleaning woman who holds a branch in her hand. "You fugitives, you wanton things, you stupid things!" muttered the housemaid, waving a branch. "Where did you run off to stay so long? Where did you hang out? It's all you little pony! Well, I know you, you robber. Don't pretend to be so honest! You are the culprit, probably your number one." One ran away, and then Little Shoes and Little Lumpy. They couldn't think of this without you."

Little Pony walked behind Little Shoes and Little Luankick, as if she knew how to talk about it.It lowered its head and kept blinking, looking quite aggrieved. "You shameless thing!" the cleaning lady scolded it. "Look how you're going to pretend you don't understand. You know everything, I know! . . . Well, it's all right, little ones, just take a walk! You want to run away? No, little ones, you Don't try to run anywhere!" The cleaner went to the fence, unhurriedly opened the cage, and drove the three fugitives into the donkey pen. "You see, bewildered, your wish has been granted. These three fellows have returned to their places," said the magician. "Let's go now—maybe we'll see something else."

After speaking, the magician stood up from the bench and walked towards the exit of the zoo.Little Wuzhi, Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face also jumped up and followed closely behind him.Walking out of the zoo, they saw pedestrians everywhere.It seemed that everyone was out on the street today, and no one wanted to stay at home.From all directions came music and singing, and everywhere merry voices and merry laughter were heard. At the crossroads, our traveler saw a house in the corner, with a group of little people gathered around it.On the roof stood some little boys and girls, carrying big baskets.They took some things from these baskets and scattered them directly among the crowd in handfuls.Quan didn't know and his partners took a closer look, and it turned out that gloves were being dropped from above.Gloves are of all kinds: blue, white, red, green, rose.Some of the standing people grabbed gloves from the air, and some picked up gloves from the ground, hid them in their hands and exchanged them with each other, trying to get a pair of gloves of the same color for themselves.

"What's the matter? Why are you throwing the gloves?" asked the little thumbtack. "Today is Glove Day," said the magician. "Gloves are distributed everywhere on this day. People exchange gloves when they get them, and whoever changes gloves becomes Brother Sun." "Why is it Brother Sun?" Quan Mo was surprised. "Well, it's a custom. There is a glove festival in Sun City every year, so more and more Sun Brothers appear here every year. Everyone in Sun City will soon be brothers. " Walking to another corner, the magician suddenly stopped and said softly: "Look!"

Don't Know, Thumbtack, and Faceless stop.In the middle of the sidewalk in front of them stood a little boy and a little girl, holding hands tightly, looking at me and you without taking their eyes off everything and everyone around them. "Who is this?" asked the little thumbtack. "Can't you see that? These are little pages and little letters," answered the Magician. "Ah, this is a small page!" Quan Zhi shouted. "Could it be that he has changed back! I kind of miss him!" "Dear little pages!" said little letters now. "I'm so glad you're back at last! I miss you enough to cry!"

"It's nothing, little letter, now we will be together forever, never to be separated." Little Page comforted her. "Where have you been these days? Tell me!" "Oh, dear friend, I'm in the circus. You don't know what fun it is, what fun it is! Rehearsals and practice during the day, performances at night. Every day, even Sunday." "But I'm so sad that I don't even want to go to the circus," said Little Letters. "Why didn't you send a message? If I knew you were at the circus, I'd run right away." "Don't be mad, Little Letter! But I was a donkey then," said Little Page.

At this time, something fell from above again, and a large group of little people ran to pick up the gloves that fell from the roof.Don't Know, Thumbtack, and Painted Face were all nearly knocked down, and with a great deal of effort they made their way through the crowd, and each of them grabbed two gloves.They ran aside to look carefully at their harvest.I didn't know that I got a brown and an orange glove, and the little thumbtack had to turn over a yellow and a pink one. What about Xiaohualian? —One blue and one white. "What a coincidence!" said little pushpin. "We can't even exchange each other, all gloves are different." At this time, a few little people ran over with a smile and exchanged gloves with them.A little boy took an orange glove from Omniscience and gave him a green one, another took a brown one and gave him a sky blue one, but sky blue The red one was taken from him by another little girl, and he was given a red one. "Ah!" Quan didn't know how happy he was. "I now have two Sun Brothers and one Sun Sister." Two little girls exchanged gloves with Thumbtack.Thus her yellow and pink gloves became blue and green.Xiao Hualian felt aggrieved, because no one wanted to exchange with him. At this time, I didn't know that I saw a policeman walking towards them.He was wearing a new shiny steel helmet.I didn't know to take a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that this was none other than the police siren that everyone knew.Quan Zhi was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide open that he couldn't close it, but the little siren walked towards Quan Zhi and looked him over carefully from head to toe.The little siren was looking at his yellow trousers with special attention, as if he didn't realize it at all.I didn't know that my whole body was cold from fright, and I was about to run away quickly, but the policeman looked at his hands wearing white and red gloves, and then quickly walked up to Xiao Hualian, and took the white glove from him. Gloves, change him to a red glove and put it on. After making it neat, he raised his hand as a salute, grinned at Xiao Hualian, and walked away. "Well, now all your wishes come true," said the magician. "The donkey has gone back to the zoo; the pages of the little book have gone back to the little letters; the little police siren has been discharged from the hospital. Now all that remains is to send you home." "Then what about the little hooligans?" Don't know what to do. "Maybe we have to try to fix them so that they don't bully the little people anymore?" "You needn't worry about that," replied the magician. "I wrote a magic book that tells everything that happens to you. It's a very helpful story. Every little hooligan who reads it will understand that they are following the example of the donkey, and will feel Ashamed. Then, no one will learn from Little Ah Fei." "What if some people read the book and it doesn't work?" Xiao Hualian asked. "That's impossible," replied the magician. "Books are always good for little people... they just don't work for natural asses, which are real donkeys." The travelers talked and talked like this, and they came to a square where twelve or thirteen cars specially driven out of the city were parked. "From today, the long-distance automatic taxi station in Sun City has started to work. In the past, automatic taxis only drove in the city, but now you can take long-distance taxis and go anywhere," said the magician. The magician walked up to the car on the far side, reached into the gap inside the radiator, and took out a chart with a map of Lilliputian printed on it.After finding Hundred Flowers City on the map, he drew a line with a pencil along the road from Sun City to Hundred Flowers City, and then put the map in its original place, saying: "Now you sit down, press a button on the dashboard and go. The car itself will take you where you want to go. If you want to stop, just press the button. If you want to keep going, go One more push of the button. Da is all about driving. "Why, is this a magic car?" Xiao Hualian asked. "No, this is an ordinary long-distance taxi. You have seen me draw the route on the map, which is the way you want to go. There is an electronic device in the car, and it will drive automatically according to the route drawn. Send you In the future, the car will return along this road by itself." Don't Know, Thumbtack, and Painted Face climb into the car and sit side by side on the soft seat.The magician closed the car door for them and waved goodbye.Quan didn't know that he pressed a button on the dashboard, and the car started.The travelers turned and waved to the magician, who waved to them again and again.His long beard fluttered in the wind, which made Xiaohualian think that the magician seemed to be waving at them with his beard. "Look, he's waving his beard!" Xiao Hualian said, shaking with laughter. "Don't be shy, the magician is here!" said the little thumbtack sternly. "No one can wave a beard!" After the car made a semicircle around the square, it turned a corner, and the magician could no longer be seen.
