What is the story told by the hunchbacked old man and the banana cub?
The hunchbacked old man is a lonely man with no wife and children. Whenever he sees other people's children, he always touches his head and feet, and involuntary tears come down: "Oh, I wish I had a child.
However, when he squatted by the stream and looked at a bunch of banana trees, he would comfort himself and say, "Isn't this my child?"
One year, there was a sudden heavy snow, which smashed the banana tree into powder. Then, another northwest wind blew all the bananas to the ground.
The hunchbacked old man was heartbroken.
The next spring, only one banana root sprouted, and the hunchback old man was busy watering and fertilizing. This kind of banana grows very fast and bears a banana every three months. The hunchback always sees only one banana, and he feels bored. However, on second thought, he felt that talking was better than nothing.
Bananas are getting bigger and bigger, as big as buckets. It sat on the top of the tree and bent it.
One day, a beautiful peacock flew in, pecked the banana and flew away. The banana peel cracked a big crack with a bang. A chubby child jumped down from the crack. He ran to the hunchback old man, hugged the hunchback old man's leg and screamed "Dad, Dad".
The hunchbacked old man hunched his back, picked up the child and kissed his rosy face. The old man named the child banana cub.
Banana cubs grow year by year. Father and son moved a lot of banana trees from other places and planted a stream. A string of fragrant bananas hangs in the banana forest.
The hunchbacked old man's back is getting more and more hunched, and it is getting harder and harder to do things.
Banana cub was very sad when he saw his father's camel. One day, he said, "Dad, I went out to find medicine for your back." Say that finish and left.
Along the way, the banana cub asked everyone, "Is there any medicine for humpback?" People shook their heads and said, "I don't know!" "
One day, Banana cub went to a Daqingshan and saw an aunt dressed in colorful clothes combing her long hair by the stream. He went over and asked, "Aunt, do you know any medicine for humpback?"
Aunt said:
Dongshan cave is very deep.
The mother-of-pearl stone should shine. Swallow the mother-of-pearl stone into your stomach and straighten up.
Banana cub went to Dongshan according to her aunt's words, got into a deep cave and saw a stalactite bead embedded in a stone. He took off the bulb, came out of the hole and walked home. Walking on a slope, I saw a shepherd's child lying on the ground crying. The child has a broken hand and is covered in blood. Banana cub came up to him and asked him why he was crying. The child said, "Two cows are fighting. I went to drive them away, and my hand was interrupted by the horn. "
Banana cub thought, "I can cure humpback whales, and maybe even my hands." He immediately put the stalactite into the mouth of the child who was herding sheep. The child suddenly stood up after eating stalactite beads. His hand stopped and the blood stopped flowing.
Banana cub sent away the child who was herding sheep and went back to Daqingshan to find his aunt.
Aunt sat by the stream and washed her long hair. Banana cub told her what happened and begged her for advice on finding medicine for humpback whales.
Aunt said:
The top of the Western Hills is high and high, and a fungus is red, and the fungus is swallowed in the stomach, and the straight back is waist-high.
Banana cub climbed to the top of the steep western mountain according to his aunt's words and saw a red fungus growing on the stone tip. He picked red fungus, climbed down the hill and walked home. Walking to the edge of a forest, he saw an old man with a white beard lying on the ground moaning. It turned out that a big tree fell and broke the old man's leg.
Banana cub squatted down for questioning. The old man just rolled his eyes and couldn't speak. He hurriedly put mahogany earplugs into the old man's mouth. After eating red ears, the old man immediately stood up and smiled with a white beard.
Banana cub sent off the old man with white beard and went back to Daqingshan to find his aunt.
My aunt sat by the stream with long hair. Banana cubs tell her what happened and beg her advice to find medicine for humpback whales. Aunt said:
At the foot of Nanshan, the pool is deep, and the small turtle stone is shining. The turtle stone is swallowed in the stomach, and the waist is straight and smiling.
My aunt went on to say, "Little brother, there are only three medicines in the world that can cure hunchback. Don't come to me again, I won't be in this place. " Aunt said that she jumped into the dense forest and disappeared.
Banana cub went to the foot of Nanshan, took off his clothes, sank to the bottom of the pool and touched the scarab stone. He let go and strode until he came to a stone bridge and heard sobbing. He looked down and saw a woman lying in a dry ditch and a baby lying on her nursing.
When the woman saw the banana cub, she cried and said, "I am walking on the bridge with my baby in my arms." I accidentally fell off the bridge and broke my waist. I can't move! " "
Banana cub thought: give her the medicine, and dad's back will never be cured; Don't give her medicine, let alone adults, even the children can't live. Thinking about it, he ran under the bridge and stuffed the medicine into the woman's mouth. The woman stood up with her child in her arms, pointed to a little peacock beside her and said to the banana cub, "Little brother, your heart is really good. I will give you this peacock. "
Banana cub said, "Sister-in-law, I don't want it, thanks."
The woman jumped on the bridge with her child in her arms and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Banana cub had to go home with peacock. When he got home, he told his father the whole story. Dad said, "Good boy, you did the right thing, you did the right thing!" " "
The banana cub touched the beautiful feathers of the little peacock and said, "Little peacock, don't worry. You will go home when you meet that sister-in-law."
The little peacock spreads its beautiful tail and sings beautiful songs.
One day, the hunchback old man had a little pain in his back. He took off his clothes, turned his hand and touched it on his back. The little peacock suddenly flew in and pecked at the old man's back several times, and the old man fell to the ground.
Banana cub was very angry when he saw it. He lifted a bamboo pole to beat the peacock. The peacock fluttered its wings, brushed off its feathers and became a beautiful little girl.
Banana cub froze.
The girl took a handful of water in the stream and put it in the mouth of the hunchback old man. The old man stood up straight, his back was no longer hunched, and he was much younger.
From then on, the hunchback old man had a beautiful child, and the three of them lived happily together, which made people very envious.
