The autumn night sky was filled with stars.
There was no one on the street. In the huge park by the street, the leaves of a few maple trees rustled in the autumn wind. From time to time, maple leaves fell on the grass.
The bright moonlight shone on a small body under a maple tree. That small body seemed especially lonely under the autumn moonlight.
The little boy sobbed softly under the maple tree. His collarbone rose and fell in front of his chest as if he was in great pain, but he could only sob softly…
" Why are you crying?" A pleasant and tender voice sounded from above the little boy's head.
When the boy heard the voice, he stopped sobbing and slowly looked up at the person who spoke with tears on his face. He saw a girl who was the same age as him. She had a pair of big eyes and was bending over to look at him in confusion. She was wearing a snow-white dress and her long, curved eyelashes fluttered from time to time, just like Snow White in a fairy tale.
"Tell me, why are you crying?" The little girl sat down next to the boy, her hands on her knees, her face resting on her hands as she whispered with her head tilted, her eyes shining brightly.
The boy curled up and leaned against the maple tree. He hugged his shoulders with his small hands and lowered his head without saying a word. His body was trembling slightly. There were transparent tears under her wet eyelashes, and then they fell from the corner of her eyes onto the grass.
"Can you stop crying?" The girl was at a loss when she saw the boy crying again." Mommy said that boys shouldn't cry easily.”
The girl repeated what her mother had told her, hoping that the boy would stop crying.
Mother…
The boy immediately stopped sobbing and looked at the girl in shock.
After a while, the boy's sobbing voice floated under the starry sky." My mother died…"
She went to heaven…
" Dad said I killed Mom... He kicked me out of the house... He didn't want me anymore... He said he didn't want to see me again. I killed Mom..." The boy's voice was unclear and he sobbed." Dad... I didn't hurt Mom... I didn't mean it... I didn't kill Mom... I didn't kill Mom..."
" I don't have a mother either…My mother is dead too…" The girl's sobbing voice drifted into the boy's ears. He looked at the girl in surprise, his slightly red eyes filled with tears.
She did not have a mother either…
The girl looked up at the starry sky, wiped her tears, and smiled gently." But my mother told me to live strong and not cry. Because my mother said that she would protect me in heaven and look after me, so I didn't cry.”
"Then I won't cry anymore. Mom will definitely protect me in heaven and look after me.”The boy wiped his tears and looked at the girl innocently. After all, the boy was still young. When he heard the girl's words about his mother's death, he felt much better after crying.
The boy didn't really understand what it meant for his mother to die. He only heard people say that after death, people would go to heaven to protect their loved ones. The boy naively thought that his mother would come back one day, so he didn't cry. He wanted his mother to know that he was a strong child.
"Yes." The girl smiled and asked," How old are you?”
"I'm seven years old." the boy said proudly.
" Hehe, me too." The girl's lips curved into a beautiful arc, and her eyes sparkled.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and it was a little cold. A dark yellow maple leaf gently fell on the girl's head, making it difficult to notice. The boy looked up and saw the leaf on the girl's head. He reached out to help her take it off.
