Pierce was orphaned at the age of twelve, and both his parents died in a car accident. In this small town in northern Germany, his face is gloomy and his eyes are cold. At that time, he didn't go to school, bullied those little classmates who loved to laugh, deflated other people's car tires, and threw stones at street lamps at night.
At this moment, a nosy person appeared. That is an old lady in her sixties. The locals call her Mrs. Jones, which is quite respectable. Mrs Jones first broke into Pierce's life when Pierce beat up a little boy. Mrs Jones said to him at that time, "Why did you hit such a lovely boy?" Pierce said, "Because he always laughs!" Mrs Jones asked in surprise, "What's wrong with laughing?" Pierce replied coldly, "Because I don't like to laugh!" Mrs Jones bent down and touched his head and said, "My child, laughter is a beautiful flower in your heart. You should laugh often! " Pierce pushed Mrs Jones's hand away and turned and ran away quickly.
Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Jones pestered Pierce and often appeared suddenly when Pierce was doing something bad, saying a lot of nonsense, which made Pierce extremely angry. One day, he followed Mrs. Jones quietly and knew the location of her house, so he sneaked over at night. He suddenly found a very bright lamp on the top of her door. As soon as he raised his hand, the stone flew out from among the lights, and the lights went out.
Pierce looked at it with some excitement in the dark. Mrs Jones came out. She looked up, then went back to the house and took out a stool, shaking on which she changed the light bulb. After a while, the light came on again. Pierce picked up another stone and thought it was easy to be exposed, so he stopped. The next night, Pierce came to Mrs Jones' door again and easily broke the light. Mrs Jones is still struggling to put on another light bulb as she did last night. This aroused Pierce's fighting spirit. He said to himself, "I will come every night to see how long you can last."
Finally, on the twelfth night, Pierce broke the light bulb, and Mrs. Jones replaced it. She cut her hand on the residual glass and fell off the stool. She struggled for a long time, but failed to stand up. Pierce turned and ran away when he saw something bad, but Mrs. Jones stopped him. "Pierce, come here, I know it's you!" " "Pierce hesitated, but he still walked past.
Mrs Jones said to him, "There is a light bulb in my room. You go and help me change it! " Pierce was still hesitating, and the old lady said, "Let's go! Shall I sue you? " Mrs Jones struggled to stand in the light when Pierce changed the light bulb. Despite the injury on her hand, she said to Pierce, "Look, there are no street lights on this road, and cars often pass by at night. Do you remember your parents? It was on this road that they were knocked down by a car. After that, I installed this lamp on the top of the door. I don't want anyone to be knocked down by a car. I don't want a child like you to appear again! "
7. At that moment, Pierce's heart burst into tears. Yes, what Mrs. Jones did to him nourished his mind imperceptibly, but he didn't want to face it or admit it. That little bit of love, like rain, penetrated into his dry heart and melted the hard ice in his heart like spring breeze. At this moment, bloom in my heart, the ice melts into a clean stream. He knows that in this Qingxi flower shadow, the beauty of life has never stopped flowing.
