Chapter 7 Section 4 The Freedom of the Shepherd of Happiness?

Would you rather be a free man, or a golden statue admired by all? ? ?
There was a young herdsman named David, who always wore a patched thick woolen short coat, a pair of broken shoes, an old straw hat on his head, and a coarse cloth bag on his shoulder.Shabby as David was, he was handsome, like the sun in a blue sky.And David played the reed flute better than anyone else, and his singing voice was louder than anyone else. ?
David sometimes works in this village and sometimes herds in that village, so many people know him.The girls smiled at him, the boys were jealous of him, and the old people always squinted and praised him for being handsome. ?
Over time, David became proud.He considers himself to be a very remarkable person. ?
Once, he came to a forest and felt tired, so he sat on a big rock in the grass in the forest to rest.He took out the flute from his pocket and played a moving tune. ?
The sound of the flute went all the way to the depths of the forest.The forest fairy was very happy when she heard this song, and she wanted to see who played it so well.Fairy
Butterflies flew like that until they reached the meadow in the forest. ?
"Oh, how happy you are!" cried the Fairy, looking at David, "everyone who hears your flute is envious of you, and everyone who sees you envies you!"?
"What are you talking about? I'm the unluckiest person in the world! It's because of those pesky people looking at me that I have to keep running from village to village like a homeless bum." Han! Of course, I do deserve people to come and see me, if only I were a statue, then I'd be happy!"?
The kind fairy listened to David's words, pondered for a moment, and then said sympathetically:?
"Okay! I can make you happy! This is not a difficult task for me." Saying that, the fairy tapped David with her magic wand.At this moment, David got his wish and became a very beautiful golden statue. His straw hat, his patched coat, and the alder wood flute he held in his hand all disappeared in a blink of an eye. turned into pure gold.Even the great rock on which he was sitting turned to gleaming gold. ?
The fairy looked at the shining golden statue, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and walked away happily.But the golden statue of David sat alone on the golden stone in the forest grass. ?
David's wish came true.People came here from far and near villages to admire him.At night, people lit fires, and young men and women gathered on the grass. They played the accordion, sang, and danced hand in hand. ?
Only David sat motionless on the golden stone.He really wanted to lift the flute to his lips and play a beautiful tune, but his hands wouldn't work.He tried to sing, but nothing came out of the golden throat.He wanted to find a beautiful girl to dance with, but he couldn't do without a golden head.David was so sad that he wanted to cry, but no tears flowed from King's eyes. ?
In this way, day after day, and 3 years later, the forest fairy flew out of the flowers and grass, flew to the grass in the forest, and flew to the side of the statue of David King. ?
"The happy shepherd is still sitting, and he has got everything he wants." said the fairy, "Handsome boy, please tell me, are you happy now?"?
The golden statue does not speak. ?
"Ah!" said the fairy reproachfully, "I forgot that you can't answer! Please don't be angry, I'll make you a living person again!"?
The Fairy tapped the golden statue lightly again with her magic wand, and David jumped up from the stone, took the alder flute and the coarse sack, and ran away quickly without looking back. ?
"Stop! Stop! You haven't answered my question yet!" cried the fairy anxiously.But David ran faster and faster, as if he was afraid of being overtaken.He ran and shouted: "I know now that freedom is the most precious thing! Goodbye! Good fairy..."?
Mind walk?

Everyone has a desire for freedom in their hearts, and they don't want to be bound unnecessarily. ?
Remember that famous poem by Petofi? "Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away." Freedom is a high-level human need, and it is also something that is difficult to win.How many people gave their lives for the freedom of the country and the people, but how many people lost their freedom for the so-called happiness of the moment, just like David.Fortunately, he finally woke up. ?
If there is no statue of liberty, even if it gains both fame and wealth, what happiness is there? ?
