I will tell you about the book "Niels Riding a Goose" in two parts. The first part mainly tells the main plot of the book: the protagonist Niels was turned into a man as big as a thumb by an elf. This is a story about a little man who went through a wonderful journey with a group of wild geese and gradually transformed from a naughty child into a good boy. Next, I will start talking about the second part: the choice you make determines the kind of life you will have.
The protagonist Nils has four major choices. The first choice is to rescue the wild goose Aka from the fox. At that time, Nils was just a little man about the size of a thumb, no match for the fox, but he rushed forward desperately to rescue the wild goose Aka. Aka was initially hostile to Nils because Nils risked his own life to save her life, which made her let down her guard against Nils and start trusting him to protect him. Nils's choice to rescue Dayan won him the friendship of Dayan Aka.
Niles’ second choice is to give up the chance to become human. In order to be grateful for Nils' life-saving grace, Dayan Aka interceded with the elf for Nils and asked the elf to turn Nils back into a human. However, Nils gave up and chose to travel with the geese. It was precisely because of this choice that Niels had all the insights and wonderful experiences he had later. This choice not only increased Nils' knowledge, but also inspired many beautiful qualities of kindness, bravery, and helpfulness in his heart.
Niles’ third major choice is still to give up the chance to become human. If the first time he gave up becoming a human, it was a child's longing for the outside world that was at work, then the second time he gave up becoming a human, he was more concerned about other people's feelings. Although he already wanted to change back to a human at that time, when he heard about the situation of the college students, what he thought in his heart was: How ugly and unjust it is to betray a friend! Therefore, his choice was not to exchange with the college student, but to help the college student find the lost manuscript, so that the college student no longer felt guilty and uneasy about hurting his friend. Nils's choice shows that in the process of getting along with the white gander and the wild geese, he has learned that the most important thing between friends is to trust each other and never abandon or give up.
Niels’ fourth choice was also to give up becoming a human, because he knew that the condition for him to become a human was to sacrifice the life of Morton, the white gander. During the long journey, Niels has regarded Morton, the white gander, as his most trustworthy friend who faces life, death, adversity and adversity. If he exchanges his friend's life for the conditions for him to become a human, he would rather not return. Dear mom and dad, you will never be a normal person again. In Nils's heart, the lives of his friends are higher than his own interests, and he can give up everything for others.
Every choice Nils makes makes his quality more noble. It is precisely because of his growth and transformation that he breaks the elf's curse and finally transforms back into a true elf. A person who makes his parents proud of him.
In addition to the protagonist Nils, the white gander Morton is also an important character in the book. When the geese in the sky call to the domestic geese: Come with us! Let’s fly north together! An old goose's warning is: Don't be stupid! You will definitely be hungry and cold during the long journey. The same is true for most of us in real life. We are afraid of stepping out of our comfort zone, setting limits on our lives, and living a mediocre life. If a person does not struggle once in his life, and does not risk his own life for the longing in his heart, how boring and uninteresting such a life would be!
As long as you have tried hard, even if you fail, you can be happy and have a clear conscience when you look back on the past in your old age. Just like the classic saying in the book "How Steel Was Tempered": When you look back on the past, you will not regret for wasting your years, nor will you regret for doing nothing.
Such is the case with Morton the White Gander. He bravely spread his wings and flew into the sky, proving to the geese that even a domestic goose can accomplish something.
If you don’t set limits on your life, your life will be full of surprises.
Morton not only proved to the geese that a domestic goose can indeed accomplish a great deal, but he also gained love. The little gray goose Deng Fen fell in love with him and incubated six children for him.
The biggest villain in "Niels Riding the Goose" is Smir the Fox. He is cruel, cunning and has a strong revenge mentality.
In an accidental attack, the fox Smil was teased by the geese. He held a grudge and ignored the rules of the crane dance performance conference and hurt a goose, and was expelled by the foxes. Not only did Smil not repent, but he followed the geese all the way to intensify the persecution. It seemed that he would spend the rest of his life just for revenge.
Human life is wonderful and has infinite possibilities. If we are only immersed in hatred and blinded by hatred, we will only dig our own graves in the end.
Finally, I am summarizing the book "Niels Riding a Goose". This book mainly tells the wonderful story of a naughty child who grew up into a good boy on a thrilling and bizarre journey. , different characters in the story end up on different paths due to different choices.
This book is not only suitable for children, but adults will also benefit a lot from reading it. If parents can read this book with their children, it will be of great help to the cultivation of parent-child relationship.
