Shang Qin

Fire Extinguisher

At noon when anger arose, I glared at the fire extinguisher on the wall.
A child came up to me and said: “Look! There are two fire extinguishers in
your eyes.” Because of his innocent confession, I pinched his cheeks and
smiled, and could not help crying. I saw two mes crying separately in his
eyes. He did not tell me how many hims he saw in the mirrors of my
tears.
