My views on a short story----PFH66, 60 days left !


Today's story is about a conversation between a man and a small child. A man whose name is John bought a new and smaller house than the one he used to live in after his mother's death. During the moving, an old and heavy clock but all furniture was moved by himself. Why didn't he ask workers to move the clock for him? The reason why he carried the clock in his arms was that the clock had been passed through all his family's generation. During his way to the new house, he stopped and took a break. Suddenly, a small boy stopped in front of him, and then the boy said John was a stupid man because he thought John could buy a watch like everyone else.

I think the boy's words are very interesting and natural. When people are young, they just say what comes into their mind without thinking twice. Although speaking directly to others sometimes might be helpful, in my point of view, speaking after considering is always the best policy.
