爱的神话
一天夜里,男孩骑摩托车带着女孩超速行驶。
他们彼此深爱着对方。
女孩:“慢一点儿……我怕……”
男孩:“不,这样很有趣……”
女孩:“求求你……这样太吓人了……”
男孩:“好吧,那你说你爱我……”
女孩:“好……我爱你……你现在可以慢下来了吗?”
男孩:“给我一个大大的拥抱……”
女孩给了他一个大大的拥抱。
女孩:“现在你可以慢下来了吧?”
男孩:“你可以脱下我的头盔并自己戴上吗?它让我感到不舒服,还干扰我驾车。”
第二天,报纸报道:一辆摩托车由于刹车失灵而撞毁在一幢建筑
物上。
车上有两个人,一个死亡,一个幸存……
驾车的男孩知道刹车失灵,但他没有让女孩知道,因为那样会让女孩感到害怕。
相反,他让女孩最后一次说她爱他,最后一次拥抱他,并让她戴上自己的头盔,结果,女孩活着,他自己死了……
就在短暂的时间里,就在平常的生活里,爱向我们展示了一个神话……
A Fairy Tale of Love
A girl and a boy were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night.
They loved each other a lot.
Girl: “Slow down a little. I’m scared.”
Boy: “No, it’s so fun.”
Girl: “Please... it’s so scary.”
Boy: “Then say that you love me.”
Girl: “Fine. I love you. Can you slow down now?”
Boy: “Give me a big hug.”
The girl gave him a big hug.
Girl: “Now can you slow down?”
Boy: “Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It’s uncomfortable and it’s bothering me while I drive.”
The next day, there was a story in the newspaper. A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken.
There were two people on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other had survived...
The guy knew that the brakes were broken. He didn’t want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared.
Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him, got a hug from her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and die himself...
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale...
