爷爷变成了幽灵｜Grandpa Became a Ghost

原著作者｜金·富兹阿（丹麦） Aspen loved his grandpa the most Grandpa always kept candy in the top drawer of the cupboard, waiting for Aspen to find it Grandpa would help him build sandcastles and make funny faces when Grandma was cooking pork liver Grandpa even sang a funny song about bottoms But one day, Grandpa suddenly fell on the street because of a heart attack Aspen didn't have his grandpa anymore He lay on the table crying endlessly, unable to accept this fact Mom said Grandpa went to heaven and became an angel But Aspen couldn't imagine Grandpa with wings The church held Grandpa's funeral, Grandpa lay in the coffin surrounded by flowers Dad said Grandpa would become dirt and slowly disappear But Aspen didn't believe, he felt Grandpa wouldn't just vanish like that That night, Grandpa came back He sat on Aspen's cupboard, eyes wide open, staring into the darkness Grandpa, aren't you dead, Aspen shouted Yes, Grandpa said, I thought I was dead too The book says if a ghost wants to, it can walk through any wall Grandpa tried, and he really could walk through walls Wow, Aspen said, you can really walk through walls Grandpa smiled and said, I'm back, because I missed you so much Aspen, why did you come back, Aspen asked Grandpa thought and said, because I seem to have forgotten something The book says if a person forgets something, they'll keep thinking about it after death Then let's find it together, Aspen said Aspen and Grandpa walked around the town Grandpa remembered many things When he was a little boy, his brother gave him a bicycle When dating Grandma, he got his first kiss Your dad peed all over Grandpa They also had a cat, but the car they bought smelled like a dog Grandpa talked and talked, but none of these were the forgotten thing Maybe it's your glasses, Aspen suggested No What about your teeth, also no Ghosts don't need those things, Grandpa said But what is it then, Aspen asked anxiously Grandpa looked at Aspen and said slowly I remember now When I was a little boy Grandpa's brother gave him a bicycle When dating Grandma, he got his first kiss We had your dad, who peed all over me We had a cat, but the car we bought smelled like a dog I also remember the taste of strawberries from our yard And the program about ships turning over on TV Oh Grandpa remembered so many things, Aspen said But none of these is the thing you forgot, right Grandpa shook his head The next day, Aspen was even sleepier, lying on the table barely able to keep his eyes open Aspen stop talking about ghosts, Mom and Dad said It's just a dream, because you miss Grandpa too much But Aspen knew this wasn't a dream That night Aspen waited for Grandpa, and waited and waited Grandpa, you're finally here, Aspen said Grandpa said, this thing is right before our eyes It's something about you Think about it, something that's about both you and me Aspen thought and said I remember so many things You took me to the amusement park, I almost vomited on the roller coaster We dug a big hole in your garden to plant a tree I kicked and broke your tulips, you shouted at me We fell asleep snoring during a boring movie You always kept candy in the top drawer of the cupboard You helped me build sandcastles We made funny faces when Grandma was cooking pork liver We went fishing, but didn't catch a single fish You often tickled me I almost choked on a lollipop Sometimes you smelled like tobacco And you sang a funny song about bottoms Looks like Aspen and Grandpa really were the best of friends Sweetie, do you love your grandpa Oh right, Grandpa suddenly said, it's this thing What thing I remember now, Grandpa said, no longer smiling I forgot to say goodbye to you, my little Aspen Both Grandpa and Aspen cried Grandpa said to Aspen, be good, but you don't have to be too good Think of each other once in a while, but you don't have to think of me all the time When Aspen said he wanted to hang Grandpa's photo on the wall, Grandpa was so happy Grandpa blew into Aspen's ear, making his toes tickle Maybe I'll see Grandma now, Grandpa said, I'll say hi to her for you Finally, Grandpa walked through the wall and left Aspen stood at the window waving, watching Grandpa disappear into the darkness He breathed a sigh of relief and climbed into bed Grandpa left, but Aspen knew he would never forget Grandpa Because Grandpa lives forever in his heart前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
