The lesson "Happy Zoo" occupies 4 pages in total and contains 6 clear cartoon pictures and a few short lines of words.
Everything in the new textbook is new, whether it is paper or printing, it is extremely luxurious, the pictures are colorful, and the characters are also very beautiful.
Bai Yan has no feelings for beautiful cartoon characters, but after reading the whole text, he finds the story very interesting.
…
[On Saturday, Li Hua took his parents and his lovely sister to the zoo to play. ]
[Li Hua saw a lion in the zoo. ]
[Li Hua and his sister saw the clown. ]
[Li Hua bought sweet candied haws, the candied haws are really delicious. ]
[Li Hua's family walks out of the zoo. ]
[Li Hua is having so much fun! ]
There are a total of six sentences in the full text, and under each line of words, there is a corresponding picture.
Just looking at the text, this seems to be an extremely clumsy article that doesn't make sense. But combined with the pictures, Bai Yan can feel the deep malice of the editor—
The first picture is the most normal picture in the text.
A full-color zoo. Li Hua, who was wearing colorful clothes, stood in front of the zoo with his parents and sister, smiling happily.
Because the first picture was boring, Bai Yan glanced at it hastily and jumped to the next picture.
From the second picture, the story develops in a weird direction.
The text of the second picture is 'Li Hua saw a lion'.
However, in the picture, the family had finished watching the lions. Li Hua, his mother and sister walked outside the lion garden. They were full of joy, and they seemed very satisfied with the mighty and majestic lions.
However, they left happily, but Li Hua's father disappeared.
To be precise, Dad can't be considered missing, he just didn't appear completely in the picture.
At the far left of the picture, Bai Yan saw a sweaty hand.
This hand is slightly fat, with a few fine hairs painted on the arm, and a watch is attached to his wrist.
Bai Yan subconsciously glanced at the first picture, and saw that Li Hua's father was a fat middle-aged man with a watch on his arm.
This hand was undoubtedly Li Hua's father's hand.
Below the text, there is only a picture. What happened to Li Hua's father is not explained in the text.
However, in the third picture, Li Hua's father completely disappeared.
Disappearing with him was also Li Hua's mother.
On the right side of the picture, a clown with weird makeup is distributing balloons.
Li Hua and his sister happily ran to collect the balloons with smiles on their faces.
At the far left of the screen, there is no one.
But on the bare ground, a red lady's shoe lay alone in the middle of the road. Bai Yan can guess without looking at the first picture this time, that the owner of the women's shoes should be Li Hua's mother.
Like my father, my mother disappeared mysteriously for some reason.
Seeing this, Bai Yan had doubts in his heart, and had a vague guess about the next content.
In the fourth picture, his question was answered.
On the right side of the picture, Li Hua saw a hawker selling candied haws, so he put his sister by the fish feeding pool, and went to buy candied haws by himself.
And at the pool, there's nothing by the water's edge. But on the sparkling water, a shofar braid looming in the water, with a red headband tied on it, is obviously Li Hua's younger sister.
However, at the far right of the screen, Li Hua was happily eating candied haws, and he didn't notice that his sister had fallen into the water at all. Just like he didn't notice that his father and mother were missing, he didn't notice that his sister was missing either.
In the fifth picture, the story is more subtle.
In the picture, Li Hua had finished eating candied haws at this time, and was walking towards the outside of the zoo with a green balloon in his hand, with a contented smile on his face.
But in the distance of the picture, there are three small gray dots falling far behind Li Hua, combined with the text, Bai Yan can easily know that the three 'people' behind are Li Hua's missing family members.
No one can explain how Li Hua's parents disappeared.
But Li Hua's younger sister, who was only three years old, would surely die if she fell into the pool.
Now, the three disappeared people reappeared, obviously something is wrong.
And for some reason, even though the three people are far away from Li Hua in the picture, and they are just three gray dots whose outlines cannot be seen clearly, Bai Yan always feels that there is something wrong with their composition.
He subconsciously shifted his gaze to the sixth picture, and at the first moment he saw the picture, he instantly understood everything.
Looking at it, the corners of Bai Yan's lips curled up unconsciously, just like Li Hua who was smiling extremely happily in the picture, the smile grew bigger and bigger.
The sixth picture of "Zoo" is very similar to the first picture at the beginning.
The father with the gold watch, the mother with the red shoes, and the younger sister with the shofar braids all stood beside Li Hua, showing the same smiles, and one could tell that this was a family.
However, except for Li Hua, the other three are gray.
In this painting, they seem to be soaked in mud, and their whole bodies lose their color.
Their skin is gray and pale, like three people who came out of a posthumous photo, which is extremely inconsistent with the colorful zoo.
And in the center of the picture, Li Hua didn't realize that the other three people had faded.
The four of them stood in front of the gate of the zoo, as expected, just like the title of the text, they were happy, and no one was unhappy.
Including Bai Yan, after reading the text, he was also very happy.
Interesting article, always a delight.
Bai Yan looked at it for a while, then secretly looked at the students around him under the cover of the textbook, and found that they were also very absorbed in reading.
Unlike the boring old textbooks, the new textbooks do not need to recognize characters, and individuals can understand the pictures.
The new textbooks are like picture books, with many large pictures and very few words, so everyone reads them with gusto.
However, two students understood the meaning of the picture. Their small bodies trembled slightly, their heads were buried very low, and they seemed a little scared.
But most of my classmates have heard a lot of horror stories since they were young, and they are familiar with such stories.
Therefore, although the content in the picture is weird, it is within their acceptable range.
Even compared to the "one hundred times" that can make people cut off their hands, they would rather learn this kind of horrible fairy tale every day.
The time for self-study is fleeting, and when most of the children raised their heads from their textbooks, Ning Xiuli raised her smile unchanged and said slowly: "I think most of the students have finished reading the text, Ning Xiaobo, get up Tell me, what kind of story does the text tell?"
The student who was called up was a little fat man.
During the ten days at school, he ate rice with gravel added every day, but it didn't make him lose weight.
Xiao Pangdun was a little nervous when he was called by the teacher. He was afraid that Ning Xiuli would beat him if he got the wrong answer.
However, Ning Xiuli's encouragement to the first few students gave him courage. The little fat man cleared his throat and said tremblingly: "The story tells that a child went to the zoo to play, and his whole family was taken away by ghosts! In the end, the child and the ghost We left the zoo together, teacher, is the story like this?"
"Very good, please sit down, is there any other student who can tell me what you have learned from the text?"
Seeing that Xiaopangdun was not only not beaten, but also praised by the teacher and asked him to sit down, the students couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.
For elementary school students, the teacher's praise is still very attractive.
As a result, some elementary school students eager to express themselves raised their hands one after another, and one elementary school student couldn't help shouting——
"I know I know!"
A little girl raised her hand excitedly, and when Ning Xiuli called her name, she stood up impatiently and said, "This story tells us that children should not run around when they visit the zoo! Otherwise, they will lose their parents, and they will die." Eaten by ghosts!"
