Cynthia’s Cat

Little Booth was not aggrieved by the cashier’s unkind tone, "Really nothing? Today is my mother’s birthday. I just want to give my mother a birthday gift. I really want to buy a gift for me. she was."

The cashier looked at Little Booth with a bad look, and said mockingly: "Even if there is, I won't buy it to a beggar. What kind of clothes are you wearing? It smells bad! It's really disgusting! Get out of here. The air in the store is stinking because of you."

Little Booth smelled the white coat that had been washed on his body, because today he was going to a store in the city center to buy candy. Little Booth deliberately washed himself very clean, and took out the clothes he couldn't bear to wear. The clothes he just wore today, it's really not dirty!

Seeing the impatient eyes of the clerk, little Booth left the store in a loss. He can't give his mother a birthday present today. When he raises enough money next year, he must buy rainbow candies for his mother.

The street light pulled Little Booth's figure very long, his back looked lonely and helpless, because he hadn't eaten for a day, his stomach made a gurgling sound, so hungry! I hope there is still bread left at home.

When Little Booth returned home, it was 9 o'clock and the door was closed. The living room became very dark because the lights were not turned on. Little Booth fumbled to the kitchen and looked for food.

Because last month's electricity bill was only paid to the landlord, the landlord cut off the electricity in the room in a huff.

During this period of no electricity, little Booth settled the dinner before it got dark. The landlord said that if the electricity bill is not paid this month, he will continue to cut off the electricity and drive them out of the house. .

There was a broken refrigerator in the kitchen, and all the food was in it. When Little Booth opened the refrigerator, an unpleasant smell mixed with fermented food came out. Little Booth frowned faintly, and took out the expired bread from the refrigerator with his nausea for dinner.

Little Booth divides the expired bread into two halves, and the rest will be used for tomorrow’s lunch. Because there is not much food at home, Booth usually only eats one meal a day. When he is hungry, he drinks water desperately. Will not be hungry.

Coming to the living room, sitting on the shabby sofa, little Booth swallowed the hard bread. He suddenly thought of something. He took the glass and went to the kitchen to pick up a cup of cold water, then returned to the living room, shredded the hard bread into small pieces, and put it into the freshly received water cup.

The hard bread became soft due to the effect of water. Little Booth happily looked at the soaked bread in the glass and imagined it as a very delicious food. He raised the glass and swallowed slowly, which may be his psychological effect. , The bread soaked in water becomes delicious.

Little Booth was suddenly reluctant to eat too fast. He chewed on the soaked bread and tasted a hint of sweetness. This was the best food he had eaten in the past few days.

After dinner, when Little Booth was cleaning the glass, there was a rapid knock on the door, which made him stop his movements, he put the glass in the sink and went to the living room.

A woman’s cursing came from outside the door, "Damn bastard! Open the door to me, every day I know that I am being lazy, and my mother doesn’t know how to repay me for raising you so hard. I’m really losing money, and I’m not obedient. What a bad luck!!! I shouldn't have given birth to you back then."

It was his mother who came back. Little Booth ran to open the door happily as if he hadn't heard the verbal abuse, opened the door, and said to the woman outside: "Mum, happy birthday!!!"
