A new swimming pool was built in the town, and Ah Fang worked at the ticket window. Ah Fang was selling tickets that evening when a man in tattered clothes came to the window and said he wanted to swim. The man was called Ah Gou, a beggar, and Ah Fang refused to sell him tickets: A beggar went into the swimming pool to swim, and didn't wash the water in the pool? Ah Gou could only leave in disappointment.
The next day, Ah Gou came again and told Ah Fang that he had already taken a bath in the river, and that his body was no longer dirty or smelly, so he wanted to buy a ticket to swim in the swimming pool. Ah Fang was confused, Ah Gou had already taken a bath and gone swimming in the swimming pool, wasn't that unnecessary?
After asking again and again, Ah Gou hesitated for a moment and said shyly. It turned out that Ah Gou often swam in the river with his friends when he was a child. His mother told him more than once that he was the fastest, best, and most talented swimmer. If he had the conditions to go to the swimming pool in the city to receive training, he would definitely become a national champion. From then on, Ah Gou had a dream, that is, to swim out of the mountain village, swim into the swimming pool in the city, and win the national swimming championship. But Ah Gou failed to become a national swimming champion in the end, and he even failed to enter the swimming pool for a swim. After a few years, the family encountered a series of accidents, and both parents died. Ah Gou became an orphan and a beggar. For so many years, Ah Gou had long forgotten his childhood dream. It was not until he accidentally saw the new swimming pool in the town that he thought of swimming back in and fulfilling his childhood dream.
Hearing Ah Gou's words, Ah Fang couldn't help but be silent. She turned to look at a gray-haired man next to her. The gray-haired man said, "Sell him a ticket."
Ah Fang said awkwardly, "Boss, Ah Gou is a beggar. There are many people in the swimming pool now, and they won't agree to swim with him."
The man said, "I'm the boss, I have the final say!"
Ah Fang was helpless and took a ticket for Ah Gou. Ah Gou took the ticket, looked at the man, and said in a trembling voice, "So you are the owner of the swimming pool, thank you. How about this, I will go into the swimming pool to have a look, so as not to affect your business..."
The man said, "Go into the water! How can you not go into the water when you enter the swimming pool? How about this, you don't go in today, come back tomorrow, and I promise no one will dislike you."
Ah Gou shook his head sadly: "The swimmers don't agree with me going into the water today, and they won't agree tomorrow."
The man said firmly, "I said no, absolutely no!"
A Gou took the ticket and left in confusion.
The next day, Ah Gou went to the swimming pool, and sure enough, no one disliked him for swimming anymore, because he was the only one in the huge swimming pool! The owner of the swimming pool put up a notice at the door with a few big words on it: Suspension of ticket sales, closed for one day. The swimming pool did not sell a single ticket today, and the only person who had a ticket and could enter the swimming pool was Ah Gou, who bought the ticket in advance yesterday!
In the office on the second floor, Ah Fang asked the gray-haired man doubtfully, "Ah Gou is just a beggar. For a dream he had when he was a child, the loss of closing the museum for one day is not small. Is it worth it?"
The gray-haired man replied solemnly, "It's worth it, why isn't it worth it? Every dream is sacred. Closing the museum for one day can make a dream come true. This is the most cost-effective one I've been doing business for a lifetime. Well, not much to say, Ah Gou said he was a swimming genius when he was a child. Let's go see him swim."
The gray-haired man and Ah Fang walked out of the office and looked at the swimming pool downstairs. By the swimming pool, Ah Gou was doing a warm-up exercise, and after the warm-up exercise was done, under the expectant eyes of the gray-haired man and Ah Fang, Ah Gou jumped into the clear water and swam happily. Looking at the splashed swimming pool and Ah Gou swimming hard, the gray-haired man and Ah Fang were stunned: Ah Gou's swimming posture is clearly the dog planing style of a three-year-old child!
Ah Gou swam excitedly and confidently, but there was only one trick of dogplaning. Looking at his clumsy swimming posture, the corners of the gray-haired man's mouth twitched and wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't laugh. Instead, two tears rolled down the corners of his eyes and murmured, "I understand. This is mother, this is love..."
