Folk craft story-straw weaving

Once upon a time, there was a village by the river where a family lived. During the day, men go out to work in the fields, and women take care of the little dolls at home. Although the family is not rich, they live happily.

On this day, a woman was enjoying the cool under a big tree with her child in her arms. It is the season of wheat harvest, and the village is full of tall wheat straw piles. While humming a brisk song, the woman picked up a straw from the ground and made it up to tease the doll. The doll nestled in her mother's arms, blinked her sparkling eyes and stared curiously at the straw in her hand. Suddenly, a leaf floating on the river in the distance attracted the child's attention. It swings like a boat. Pointing to the leaves, he shook his mother's hand and said, "Mom, the boat! Boat, doll wants a boat! " The doll just learned to speak, and she couldn't speak clearly, but her mother understood at once. She smiled and said, "Good! Look at mom's boat made of wheat straw! " The woman took the straw and circled several times on the left and right. In a short time, a wheat yellow boat was woven. This straw boat is so lifelike and light that people can't put it down. The doll is holding the boat and dancing happily.

In the evening, the man came back from the field with a hoe. He worked in the sun all day and his clothes were soaked with sweat. As soon as the man came back, he saw a doll with a straw on his head, sitting on a small bench at the door to play. When he saw his father coming back, he ran over and put out his little head and said to him, "Dad, look, the boat is coming!" " "The man saw very clearly that the doll's head was an upside-down straw boat. He had a brainwave and thought, this straw can be woven into a boat, and naturally it can also be woven into a hat. If you wear a hat with a wide brim on your head, isn't it light and can block out the sun? He told his ideas to women, who thought it was very reasonable.

So they brought a bundle of wheat straw and began to weave straw hats. The next day, the man wore a woven straw hat to work in the field. When people in the same village saw it, they all praised it as beautiful and practical. So, everyone came to learn straw weaving from the couple, and the craft of straw weaving slowly spread. Later, they took their own things to the market to sell, and lived a rich life with humble grass leaves and their own hands.
