Last Sunday, I was awoken by a scream of a girl (or a woman). I opened my eyes and looked around, but I saw nothing. I looked at my clock. It was only seven o’clock…..Hey, how come there was a Barbie doll sitting on my clock? I didn’t know why, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
“Bibibi, bibibi…” That was my alarm clock. I hated the alarm rings when I was just having a dream. I stopped the alarm and heard the screaming sound again! Oh, my Barbie doll was covering her ears and running around my bed! What was happening?
I picked up the doll and looked at it carefully. “Oh! It’s my mum!” I shouted.
Mum saw that I recognized her. Then, she smiled and said softly, “I don’t know why I have become so small since I got up. It’s so strange. Do you think so?”
Yes, it was so strange. I tried to chat with her and take care of her. Suddenly, she said, “I feel hungry. Can you make something for me to eat?” I prepared some congee for her. However, I was careless since I forgot to get a small spoon for her. I had looked for a spoon for a long time and at last, I used a toy spoon to feed her. She ate a little bit only and then she already felt full.
In the evening, I prepared dinner for her. Of course, the dinner was also congee as I could feed her more easily. After dinner, she had a rest and watched TV. She said that she could not see anything on the TV because it was too big for her.
Suddenly, a fairy flew from the ceiling and said to her, “Nice, nice. I made your mother become so small in order to test your caring heart. Now, I can see that you really care for your mother. She can turn to her original size!”
Fortunately, Mum turned into her original size. I thought I should put more effort into taking care of her.
