To improve my reading skills，my mother gave me books that are a little difficult for me to understand. I didnt even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight. Of course once I found out about books of this type，I would read them as quickly as I could.Again and again，I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few. Finally，my request was granted (允许)After our return from the library，I started reading them eagerly and energetically，one after another. And I tried to put myself in the female characters shoe. I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue，and then they would live happily ever after.I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales. Looking straight in my eyes，she told me that life is not like fairy tale. There are good and bad things that will happen through life. At the end，though，there is not a man that will come and “save” us. We do not need savings；we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones；we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us. Life is not about “happy ever after”What then is life about，mom? Life is the finding things. He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live，laugh
