Last Sunday was a sunny day. The glaring sun light shone to my eyes from the window. I looked at the clock and it was already 10. Usually, my mom would wake me up at 9 and prepared a delicious breakfast for me. Strange! I could not find anything on the dining table yet that time, so I knocked on my mom’s door.
“Mum… are you there? Mum…”
“Don’t come in! Just leave me alone please.”
I could smell that something must have happened to mom from her weird voice.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?” I was so worried.
“No…No!” She began to cry.
I opened the door immediately and I found mom had turned into a 20-cm long dwarf. She just covered herself with a piece of paper.
“As you see, I’ve become a dwarf,” Mom said sadly.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of you until we find the way to solve this problem.” It was the time I backed her up!
What did I do then? I had to find clothes for my mom first of all because she was nude and I was afraid that she would get a cold. Luckily, my sister was still young. She had got a lot of Barbie dolls, so I could easily find clothes for her. After that, I had to cook for my mom. I cooked sausages, bread and eggs but I found that mom’s mouth was too small to eat. Therefore, I cut the food into very small pieces and fed her like a baby. This was quite interesting.
After lunch, I had a good idea to cheer up mom. I remembered that a long time ago, she told me she had a dream when she was young – she wanted to fly in the sky just like a bird. So, I went out to buy a lot of balloons, tying them to a basket and at the bottom of the basket, I fixed a long string so that I could control it. Finally, I put her into the basket and her flying trip started. Fantastic!
My mom looked at the sky and enjoyed the beautiful view through the window. After a while, she fell asleep with a happy smile. That time, I thought mom would like to be that small forever. Soon, I felt thirsty and I went to the kitchen to get a cup of water. Strange again! I saw the normal-sized mom looking gladly at me. She cooked a great dinner to thank me in the evening.
Although why mom changed size was still a puzzle, I still enjoyed the whole day. I also learnt that when I treated my mom by heart, she could stay happy even in great trouble.
Loving others and being loved are the key to happiness!
