Pet King

Cai meiwen was very protective of her child, and she was very resistant to others interfering in her life with little celery. She was even more disgusted with others educating little celery on her behalf. She knew that saying things like raising a pet in the Pet Shop was no different from starting a fight, so she was prepared to quarrel. However, she didn’t expect Zhang Zian to just tell a story.

She didn’t know if the story was a fictional story or a real story like her story, but if it was just a story, there seemed to be no reason to object.

Little celery’s attention was drawn to the story, so she temporarily put the stray cat’s death aside.

The rain was gradually easing, and the staff’s work pressure was greatly reduced. They had never heard Zhang Zian tell stories before, so they were all very curious.

Even the Elfins were listening with great interest, including Sihwa, who was in the bathroom upstairs. She often read fairy tales to the netizens in the live broadcast room. Zhang Zian was telling stories in front of her. Wasn’t this showing off in front of a beautiful door?

“I have to make it clear that I didn’t write this story. The original author is a picture book author from Japan, and this author was born in the capital of China. I can’t remember the exact content of the story, so I’ll make some minor changes to it. ” Zhang Zian had made a copyright statement first, saying that he could not simply take other people’s stories for his own.

Little celery raised her hand and asked,”what is a picture book?”

It was rare for Lu Yiyun to take the initiative to interject in front of outsiders. She timidly whispered,””I’ll answer. I know someone who’s drawing picture books for a publishing house, so I know a little about it. “

Zhang Zian nodded to her encouragingly.

Lu Yiyun raised her voice a little.”The so-called picture book is actually similar to a children’s fairy tale book. It’s mainly pictures, accompanied by a small amount of easy-to-understand words …”

“So it’s a fairy tale book? He gave it a Grand name. ” Wang Qian interjected.

Lu Yiyun shook her head.”It’s similar, but not entirely.” “Fairy tales are mainly about telling stories. It’s enough as long as children find it interesting and can understand it. There’s no need to bear any additional meaning. At most, it’s to help children learn how to read. For example,” daughter of the sea. “This famous fairy tale is sad and beautiful, but after listening to it, it doesn’t seem to have any special educational significance. Perhaps adults can understand something from it, but children definitely don’t have the ability to understand it. They’ll be done after listening to it.”

Everyone listened thoughtfully and felt that it made some sense. The popular fairy tales in modern times originated from Europe and America. Most of the fairy tales in Europe and America were simply stories, and they were all about the things between princes and princesses over and over again.

What was the educational significance of a fairy tale like snow White? Are you saying that stepmothers are all bad people and always try to kill you? This did not seem too harmonious in modern society. The stepmother wanted to kill the princess because she had a throne to inherit. However, most of the children who read fairy tales were children from ordinary families. At most, they would inherit the flowers …

Divorce rates were getting higher and higher in modern society. People got married and divorced more and more casually. It was common to remarry after getting divorced with a child. There were many stepfathers and stepmothers who treated their partner’s child as their own. However, if the child had a deep impression of Snow White, his initial favorability towards the stepmother or step-father would probably be reduced by 30%… It was simply the poisonous grass of capitalism.

Of course, one couldn’t be biased. A small number of fairy tales did have some educational significance, such as “the adventures of the puppet.” At least it taught children not to lie, or their noses would grow longer. However, the educational significance of this was too weak. It could not stand scrutiny or verification. Perhaps only three or four-year-old children would believe it.

Compared to the fairy tales that were ancient and out of the times, books in the form of picture books were new. Countless picture book authors were pushing out new ideas every year. The story of the picture book was close to reality, so that children would have a natural sense of immersion. Most importantly, the story of a good picture book must have a high degree of educational significance. Whether it was teaching children life knowledge, scientific knowledge, or outlook on life and values, it would not make children feel bored while teaching. Even adults would have some enlightenment when they read it. It was very suitable for parent-child reading.

Unfortunately, many parents couldn’t tell the difference between fairy tales and picture books. They felt that since they were children’s books, they could just buy some and throw them to their children. They wouldn’t read them themselves, nor would they guide their children to read them correctly.

Especially stepparents who often appeared as villains in fairy tales. How many parents would tell their children when they read it with them that bad stepfathers and stepmothers were only an exception, and that most of them were good people like their biological parents?

Just because one’s own child had a native family didn’t mean that other children were equally lucky. Their own child might laugh at the children of other parents who had remarried and scare them that their stepparents would abuse them.

Lu Yiyun clarified to everyone the subtle but important difference between a fairy tale and a picture book, and then she stopped talking.

“Thank you, Xiaoyun. You explained it very clearly.” Zhang Zian said.

Cai meiwen was a little embarrassed. She had been like this before. When she bought books for little celery, she had always bought a lot of books in one go when there was a full weight loss event in the online store. Among the books, there must be some world-famous fairy tales. She didn’t know if there were picture books, but there should be, but she treated them all as fairy tales.

In her opinion, the world’s famous fairy tales had been passed down for so many years, and all the children would read them. How could she have bought the wrong ones?

Most of the parents had the same thought. Since others were buying, they would buy as well.

She knew that this was just an excuse. In fact, it was essentially a parent’s way of saving trouble.

She really didn’t have time to read fairy tales with little celery, but she planned to go back and sort out little celery’s fairy tale books, eliminating those that were famous but no longer suitable for modern children.

Since everyone present knew the difference between a fairy tale and a picture book, Zhang Zian went straight to the point and said,””Compared to the distant and unrealistic princes and princesses, picture books often use common animals in daily life as the protagonists, and the common animals in daily life are often the pets that accompany people all day long.”

At the mention of pets, little celery became even more energetic. She knew that the next story would definitely be about a pet.

“The name of the story in this picture book sounds very strange. It’s called ‘the cat that lived a million times’.” Zhang Zian said,”I’ll emphasize again that I can’t remember the original story, so I can only make some harmless changes to the content. In the original story, there were more pictures than words, but due to the limitations of objective conditions, I can only describe it with words and language. Little celery, you can try to imagine it in your mind according to my description. If you think it’s hard …”

He turned to look at the elves.”You can also imagine it by looking at their appearances.”
