我想起妈妈最心爱的瓷碗被我打碎后,她还是那样爱我。
猎枪突然变得沉重起来,而眼前的目标也变得模糊不清。
我把手中的枪放下,抬起头,无奈地看着爸爸。
他笑了笑,然后抓住我的肩膀,缓缓地说道:“我理解你,儿子。”
直到这时,我才意识到他从未想过我会扣动扳机。
他以一种明智、深刻的方式让我自己做出决定。
直到现在,我都从未搞清那天下午爸爸是怎么让博吉出现在五金店的,但我知道他相信我会做出正确的选择。
放下枪,我感到轻松无比。
我和爸爸跪在地上,给博吉松绑。
博吉欢快地在我们父子身边扭动着身体,短短的尾巴疯狂地舞动着。
那天晚上,我睡了几天来的第一个好觉。
第二天早上,跳下后院的台阶时,我看见了隔壁的博吉,停了下来。
爸爸抚摸着我的头发,说道:“儿子,看来你已经宽恕了他。”
我飞奔到学校。
我发现宽恕真的令人精神焕发。
