A Happy Adventure of a Deaf Child
Childhood life is inseparable from playing. Besides joyfully gathering the honey of knowledge like a bee, sometimes I also frolic in the fields like a pony. One afternoon, I saw my sister Mei, my brother Hui, and my sister Duan, along with six or seven other deaf children, playing. I joined them and played too. As we played, I saw a small hand tractor coming. When it passed by me, I playfully hopped onto it. The other children found it amusing and imitated me, jumping onto the tractor one after another. Soon, the tractor was crowded with children. With the breeze of spring, the tractor carried us to a field. Wow, it was green as far as the eye could see, almost endless, with a small mountain in the distance! When the tractor reached a fork in the road and had to turn, the driver noticed us and angrily told us to get off. I quickly jumped off and walked to the other side of the fork. The other children followed. Led by me, we advanced into the field, embarking on our adventure. After walking for a long time, we came to a dilapidated cottage. The door was slightly ajar, and I didn't know if anyone was inside. Bending down, I peered through the door, "scouting" for a while. Oh, no one! I immediately pushed the door open, and all the children rushed in, "claiming" the cottage. The room was dimly lit, with almost nothing except a very old saddle. The saddle had a large hole in it, and I reached into the hole and pulled out a lot of cotton, thinking it was a treasure and having great fun. The other children gathered around, taking turns pulling out the cotton until the saddle was empty. When we had played enough, I led the children out of the cottage and continued our journey. Unknowingly, we arrived at the edge of a field surrounded by a fence. The bamboo poles of the fence stood diagonally, crosswise. I walked to the fence, pulled out a long bamboo pole, wrapped the cotton in my hands around the top of the pole, and carried it on my shoulder, striding forward. It felt like carrying a gun, very heroic! In no time, the other deaf children each carried a "gun" on their shoulders, standing neatly behind me, marching forward spiritedly. I seemed to have become the leader of the children, and my pride was immense.
Soon, the group I led arrived at a small hill. Everyone rushed up the hill, competing to reach the summit. When we finally reached the top, we suddenly discovered a lush green lawn on the other side of the hill. Wow! We excitedly ran down and jumped and danced on the lawn. Some did somersaults, others sat on the lawn making gestures, and some played other fun games. In no time, the small lawn became our deaf children's paradise of happiness!
I lay quietly on the lawn, gazing at the clear blue sky. Everything was so beautiful, and the warm sunlight made the grass on the ground feel cozy. Lying on the soft lawn was truly comfortable! The white clouds in the sky seemed to accompany me
