Bouquet of Narcissus

After the thief left, the foal kicked impatiently and neighed.Narcissus looked at his clothes, and the little parrot chirped, "Dirty, really dirty." He looked at the mountains in the distance, fluttering his wings, "There are mountains, water, and pastures there."

That was Mount Ida, the largest ranch in Troy.

Narcissus, who was obsessed with cleanliness, said, "I can't bear to go back in such a dirty state. Let's go to the valley to wash up."

The water and grass in the valley of Mount Ida is rich, and many herdsmen graze here. There are herds of cattle and sheep, pairs of horses, and many dogs and hares... Narcissus found a stream, took off his robe, washed it, and dried it.

The veil was also removed, the foal drank water, and the parrot sang.

At this time, he saw the reflection in the water, the delicate eyebrows, the jewel-like eyes, the petal-like lips...how beautiful.He couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch it.

"What are you doing?" A voice asked anxiously, "Don't get over it." Someone grabbed his shoulders and turned him around, "Don't drown."

"You—" the voice fell silent the moment Narcissus turned his head, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"What?" Narcissus slapped off the hand holding his shoulder and stood up, "What's the matter?"

"I thought you were going to commit suicide." The shepherd said, "I misunderstood. Are you from the city? Do you live in Troy or Romalando? You are so beautiful, can I be your friend?" The shepherd Very enthusiastic, he also brought out the delicious cheese and fresh coconuts, "Is this your pet? It's so cute, come on, little guy, this is your favorite bug."

"I'm a Poro, and this pasture is mine. I graze the king of Troy, and he pays me. I haven't seen you before, and I think you must be from Lesbos, a continent only I have never been to that island. Try this sweet wine, I guarantee you will fall in love with it." He strongly recommended the food he had, and took out his best things to entertain the rare pretty boy.

Little Green flapped her wings and landed on Narcissus's shoulder, "Generous shepherd, I want to eat roast leg of lamb." Narcissus also nodded when he heard that, so the Poro immediately put a five-kilo The little fat sheep was killed, the torch was lit, and the whole sheep was roasted.

Narcissus ate a delicious roast whole lamb, and he was very happy.It was getting late, and he was about to go back. The Poro was very reluctant, and took out a beautiful dagger and a lamb, and gave them to Narcissus.

Narcissus didn't accept it, but the Poro said, "Don't you consider me a friend? We spent a wonderful afternoon together, and it's natural for friends to exchange gifts."

Friends, of course Narcissus had friends, and he had several friends in the palace of Troy, but they were all polite and not as open as the shepherd.Narcissus had his own pride, and not everyone would be his friend, so he rejected the shepherd's gift again.

Poro looked at his expression, the sun-filled face showed a disappointed expression, and said: "In this case, let me tell you a story about the singer Orpheus from Crete."

The story of Orpheus’s trip to Hades to save his beloved wife was vivid and interesting, as if he had personally experienced it. After hearing this affectionate story, Narcissus was also very moved and said: “Later he died in Hades and It’s also very romantic to get together with loved ones.” His mother always told him how terrifying the underworld is, but in this story, the underworld fulfilled Orpheus’ love.

How romantic.

Just like the love spoken of by mothers and bards, it is beautiful, heartbreaking and yearning.

Poro is humorous and knowledgeable. He told Narcissus many heroic adventure stories, and Narcissus listened with great interest.If Xiaolu hadn't been urging Tianhe to go home, and he had promised his mother not to stay overnight, he would not have wanted to leave Mount Ada.

Seeing that he listened carefully, the Poro talked a lot, and delayed Narcissus' return to the city until the sun was out of sight and the moon climbed to the top of the mountain, and Narcissus once again proposed to go home.

The Poro saw that he was longing for those wonderful stories, so he had an idea and gave a scroll, "Mountains, rivers, plains, canyons, sky and hell are all in it, you can go back and take a closer look."

The generous shepherd moved Narcissus, but unfortunately he did not have a corresponding gift in return.So when Poro asked again where he lived and how he could meet him, he replied: "You are so generous, but unfortunately I can only give you all my shells. I am Narcissus and I live in Troy." In the palace. Tomorrow I will bring a gift to reward your hospitality."

Poro sent him down Mount Ida, and seeing the young man go away, he was intoxicated by the graceful figure of his back, and he couldn't forget that perfect face.

He muttered to himself:

"I can now proudly say that starting today, I look forward to the sun

I don't blame myself or the God-King of Mount Olympus

I'm on the wrong team, I shouldn't easily challenge authority

But I'm excited now - the goddess of fate has given me the best gift.

Lo and behold, Narcissus.What a beautiful name, what a beautiful face, what a beautiful posture.

His every move fascinates me, if only he could belong to me. "

Mount Ida is picturesque.The sheep are bleating, the stream is rushing, and the flowers and butterflies are flying.The shepherd drove the cattle and sheep to the stream to drink water, and continued to chant praises:

"I'm naturally emotional and love all things beautiful.

I, Cong Wei, have never told others about my other identity, and I have captured beauties with my eloquence

Give happiness and light to mortals with virtue and sweet lips

The identity of God allows me to have endless life, and I can enjoy the beautiful world to my heart’s content

I also think that I have seen many beauties, and the young man washing in the valley tonight is particularly touching,

His skin was so fair, he was perfect from head to toe, and even his voice was unforgettable.

If I can return to my native land, I will share with him the finest clothes and jewels, and build him a palace full of sunshine and beautiful music

Let happiness surround him, and I will accompany him forever, smiling sweetly at the end of the sea"

The shepherd sang happily, and the singing echoed in the valley. He was so happy.

He ran down the mountain and looked at the city wall of Troy, secretly annoyed: "This damn city wall, why is it built so tall, it blocks my pursuit of vision, where does my loved one sleep tonight?"

He came back feeling melancholy, and then found that the flock was missing. The Poro was very angry, and began to look for the flock all over the valley, but finally found that it must have been stolen.A cowherd boy who hadn't returned said, "When you were going down the mountain, a thief came and fled eastward with a dozen sheep."

"This damned thief, if I catch him, I will make him feed the dog." He scolded the shameless thief angrily, and fell asleep thinking of Narcissus.
