Tiger and dutiful son

Xigou Village, downtown Xintai County, Shandong Province. There is a boy named Li Weizhong. There is only one old mother in the family, and mother and son live together.

As the old saying goes, "there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed to misfortune." Unfortunately, Zhong Wei's mother is ill and can't get up in bed. ...

Zhong Wei goes to Jindou Mountain on Bali Road outside the city to chop wood every day. So as to sell firewood to treat my mother. Unfortunately, it has been snowing these days. There are few pedestrians in the street, so firewood can't be sold. I have to choose to go home.

When Zhong Wei entered the room, he found his mother pale and dying. A line of tears welled up and shouted "Niang". Jump to bed and cry.

His mother is embarrassed to say, where is the child? I know, our family is poor and we can't afford medicine. You are sad. Before her mother died, she had a wish to eat some fresh persimmons.

Zhong Wei nodded tearfully and said, Mom, don't worry! I will definitely buy you some persimmons.

Zhong Wei went out and looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, but he felt a chill. It was the middle of winter and the trees were bare. Persimmons are long gone. Where can I buy fresh persimmons?

Zhong Wei thought, I will find it anyway! He searched in Jindou Mountain for several days, but he couldn't find it. He was so anxious that he began to cry. ...

At this moment, a hungry tiger suddenly appeared in front of him and jumped at him. Zhong Wei said: It doesn't matter if you eat me. Before I die, I only ask you one thing. Do you know where there are fresh persimmons?

Hearing this, the tiger laughed. I'm dying, and I want to eat fresh persimmons!

Hearing this, Zhong Wei quickly told the reason. ...

The tiger listened and said sympathetically, it seems that you are a dutiful son. Well, let me tell you, there are three fresh persimmons on the persimmon tree behind Qingshi Cliff at the top of Houshan Mountain. You go and pick it. But I must eat you here in three days!

Zhong Wei agreed, climbed the back hill, picked persimmons and gave them to his mother. Who knows that after eating, Zhong Wei's mother can sit up and recover in three days.

Zhong Wei said to his mother, Mom, I want to go to the farthest, farthest place. Mom, if you can't come back, don't wait for me. ...

His mother was puzzled and said, boy! What's the matter with you?

Don't ask. Say that finish, Zhong Wei went out and walked to the bucket mountain. On the mountain, the tiger waited for a long time. Say: you wait here first, because you are a dutiful son and filial to your mother. Even my tiger, the king of the mountains, sincerely admires me. I eat you like this and get your meat dirty. I went to the river at the foot of the mountain to drink some water and wash my stomach.

Strange to say. When a tiger drinks water, the water is sweet. The tiger is very strange and puzzled. Muttered to himself: "Usually drinking water is not sweet, but drinking water today is an elixir." So he drank more and more, his stomach grew bigger and bigger, and he couldn't eat anything at all.

He went back to the mountain and said to Zhong Wei, It seems that you are a filial child. I shouldn't have eaten you. Let's go!

After Zhong Wei returned to China, the couple lived a happy life.
