The Cricket in Times Square 5
Recently, I have been reading the book The Cricket in Times Square.
In this book, I met Chester, a kind, grateful and musical cricket, Henry the Cat, a simple and sophisticated cat, Tuck the Mouse, and Mario, a caring man.
The story goes that Chester, a cricket who was crushed under a bag of roast beef sandwiches because of his gluttony, travels to Times Square in New York City, where he is adopted by Mario, who then meets Tucker and Henry the Cat. With her allowance, Mario bought Chester a cricket cage, which had seven tiers in one **** and each tier was small and compact. Chester loved it so much that the cricket cage had a little bell on top of it that Tucker Mouse wanted to sleep in and had put a few bills and Mario's mom's shell earrings in the cricket cage. Chester accidentally eats the two-dollar bill notes as leaves in his sleepwalking. Mama Mario is furious and locks Mario in the cage, but it's Tucker who later helps Chester pay back the two dollars with his life savings.
Mario takes Chester to Fung Sai's side, where the two old Chinese men happen to be. Mario eats a lot of Chinese food at Fung Sai's, and of course, Chester eats it too. Then they had a little dinner party, but they got into one big mess, a fire. Mario's mom said to Mario, "He's an ominous thing, get him out of here." Chester sang a song because he was sad, and it was one of Mama's favorite songs to hear.
Later, Chester was kept again. Chester became famous, but Chester wanted to go back to his old home again, and Tucker helped him get on the train station, and at the end of the day, Tucker Mouse said to Henry's Cat, "I think we'll go to Chester's next year." And that was the end of the story.
The author's imagination is fantastic, and the text is overflowing with friendship between the lines, between people, between people and animals, and between animals and animals. So, sincere friendship can help people overcome all kinds of difficulties in life, dispel the clouds of the mind, and achieve success in business.
Read "The Cricket in Times Square" feeling 6A small cricket Chester because of accidentally took the wrong car, from the Connecticut countryside to the bustling New York Times Square, luckily ran into the love of its owner Mario, and his loyal friends Henry cat and Tucker mouse. With the help of Henry and Tucker, the little cricket was so lucky and blessed that he accidentally became a star performer in the subway station overnight! Chester played "Soviet Union", "Aida" and Mozart Serenade in the station. The beautiful music immediately attracted people's attention, and travelers in a hurry couldn't help but stop and listen, and the concert was always applauded.
But the cricket Chester's music career reached its peak, it suddenly made the decision to "hang up the string" retired, back to his hometown of Connecticut Connecticut to go, although the former kind of unknown but calm life. In fact, there is a problem: freedom and happiness. Yes, although the glory is a good thing, but it makes it feel very tired, Chester tired! It misses home, misses the past free and easy life, he does not want to live for the applause of others, he does not want to live for the coins, it wants to live for their own happiness.
The joy of freedom and the joy of constraint? Which is the pleasure? I thought of myself.
I have my own dream, and it's not one that Mom and Dad designed for me. I want to go to the prairie to live, when I grow up I want to build a cozy cabin on the beautiful prairie, I want to cultivate a small garden next to the cabin, a small garden planted with red tomatoes, yellow pumpkins, round potatoes, purple eggplants, golden wheat; I want to raise two fat and strong horses and a group of sheep that can produce the best wool; I want to do it myself a carriage and a stable, and a sleigh. and a sleigh, so that in winter I can glide happily over the snow and ice in the midst of the snowflakes; and, of course, I am going to make two more lances, and one, and on Saturdays and Sundays I am going to go hunting; and I am going to look for a job in a town about a kilometer away, and I am going to go to work Monday to Friday, and the hours of the work will be from 8.30 a.m. to 1.50 p.m., for in the afternoon I am going to drive the cows and sheep out to graze. In the evening, I'm going to go for a walk in the meadow, looking at the sun with its yellowish glow, the violets around me giving off a faint fragrance, and I'm going to lie down in the grass, smelling the flowers mixed with the smell of green grass. The crisp song of the crickets came from the grass, and this sound and the chirping of the birds intertwined to make a wonderful evening song.
You will surely say, go to the prairie that is the western part of the motherland, where the conditions are so hard, where it is so far from home, where the daily workload is so heavy, why do you suffer?
But I don't think so, in my insistence, even my mom and dad support my idea, they said that is your own dream, we support you look forward to your success. So, I have been happy to have such an idea, because I know it is my own choice, and the joy of freedom makes me fearless of difficulties.
In contrast to Chester, although he reaps the benefits of happiness and success in the eyes of others, it is precisely because it is not what he wants that he can't be happy. As Chester's friend Henry Cat says, "Since your life is your own, you should do what you want to do. What's the point of being famous if being famous just makes him unhappy?"

Chester becomes a famous musician himself, making the newsstand's business better and better. However, Chester misses his hometown more than ever, and finally, with the help of his companions, he returns to his long-lost hometown. After reading this book, it makes me understand and realize the importance of freedom. "Freedom, a word familiar to some and unfamiliar to others, is what most people aspire to and pursue. But there are also a small number of people who are tempted by money, status and power, and so on, and they do their best to get these things by all means, but they do not understand that the happiest time for a person is to be free to do what they really want to do.
The cricket Chester in "The Cricket in Times Square" is like this, it understands: even if he sings well, and has a high status and title, if he is constrained by these things, he can not be free to do what he loves to do and what he wants to do, then he will still not feel happy.
