Reflection: This story is very special for me. Its design is different and the plot of the story is very touching. I love its ending. When the emperor realized how important Djeow Seow was and he cherished her more. Sometimes I may think my parents don't love me so much and I'm not very important to them. Though this story, I know that every parent love their children. Maybe they are sometimes too busy to take care of children. They still love their children. I also learn that if I think I'm not so important, I can do something to make me become better. Or I can change my thought because everyone is important in this world. Don't compare to anybody. I'm the best!
