"I don't want to hear it anymore."
"The principles and objective laws in books are always so clear that people think they are the truth, but that's not the case."
"Only by putting yourself in your own situation can you truly determine what is right and what is wrong. However, this method of distinguishing is quite tiring, so people generally don't use it."
"But if it's an important, crucial matter, you have to think about it this way."
"Did the doll girl ask Xiao Tao why she had to do that? Could she work with her to solve the problem? Was there any way they could work together? Was Xiao Tao really doing something bad?"
"Unfortunately, the girl didn't do that, because the knowledge in the book is so clear and objective. It tells the doll girl that such experiments are dangerous and must be stopped."
"You must study hard, because it determines your future achievements and whether you can gain more wealth and recognition."
"But if one day you fainted while studying and woke up feeling extremely weak, wouldn't you consider seeing a doctor and talking to an adult about your discomfort and fear?"
"When your parents ask you to give your most beloved toy to someone else, do you obey them? Or do you follow your heart, express your reluctance, hold it tightly, and endure the adults' criticism and the jokes of others?"
"If you see someone in the water asking for help but you can't swim, do you jump in out of moral compulsion and education, or do you quickly think of other ways to rescue them, even if you get scolded for it?"
“Following the knowledge in books is easy, convenient, lazy, blameless, and morally protected.”
"When you face the realities and complex circumstances, do you have the courage to do what is truly right?"
"After Miss Witch finished her explanation, she picked the last flower from the flowerpot behind the house. It was a blue forget-me-not."
"Thus, the seven-colored flowers' last wish was fulfilled, and Xiaotao and Xiaosha, who had left earlier, returned to the doll girl."
"This time, she sincerely apologized to the two of them, and they forgave the girl."
"Finally, they held hands and spun around on the grass again. This time, Xiaotao told the doll girl that she would take the girl to many places and not let her stay alone in the house reading."
"The girl smiled and agreed, then replied, 'Occasionally, you must allow me to go home, because that is my favorite room, where my favorite books are, and I also hope that my favorite friends can come and read with me.'"
"So, the story of the witch in the woods and the seven-colored flowers is over. Which one do you like best?"
Grandma Kafla slowly closed the picture book in her hand. Even though she had told this story countless times, she never got tired of it. Just like the girl who reached out her hand to her on that rainy night, it was so nostalgic and timeless.
