Story Summary

A heart - warming story about people in Windmill Village helping each other.

In Japan, there is a beautiful place named Windmill Village. The windmills here are like giants, standing quietly under the blue sky and white clouds. Their blades turn gently with the breeze, making a creaking sound, as if telling ancient stories.

In the village, there lives a group of kind - hearted villagers. Everyone knows each other and they have a very harmonious relationship. There is an old grandpa named Taro. His house is on the edge of the village, close to a paddy field. The old grandpa is old and in poor health, so he can't take care of the paddy field as easily as before.

Grandpa Taro is worried while standing beside the paddy field

Grandpa Taro looked at the rice seedlings in the paddy field that were starting to wither due to lack of care, and his face was full of sorrow. He knew that if he didn't do something soon, there would be no harvest this year. Just then, several children in the village passed by. They saw the grandpa's worried look and ran over to ask what had happened.

After listening to the grandpa, the children all said that they would help him. So, they began to come to the grandpa's paddy field to help after school. Some children helped with weeding, their small hands tightly grasping the weeds and pulling them out forcefully; some children carried small water buckets and carefully watered the rice seedlings, and the water droplets sparkled with a crystal - like light in the sun.

The children are working in the paddy field

With the help of the children, the paddy field gradually regained its vitality. The rice seedlings became green and swayed happily in the wind. Grandpa Taro was very grateful to the children and took out the small snacks he made by himself for the children to eat. The small snacks exuded an inviting aroma, which was full of the grandpa's sincere feelings.

There is also a young girl named Mie in the village. She is good at knitting. She often uses the items she knitted to help other villagers. Once, an old grandma in the village had her scarf torn. After Mie knew about it, she used the carefully selected wool to knit a new scarf for the old grandma.

The old grandma took the scarf, and her face was filled with a happy smile. She hugged Mie tightly and said, "You are such a good child." This scarf not only warmed the old grandma's body but also her heart.

The people in Windmill Village are like this. In this quiet small village, everyone cares about and helps each other. No matter who encounters difficulties, others will not hesitate to offer a helping hand. This place is full of love and warmth, just like the ever - turning windmills, which never stop.

One year, the village suffered a rare heavy rainstorm. The rainstorm came with great force, and many houses were damaged. The villagers were not frightened by the difficulties. Everyone worked together to fight against this disaster.

The men used boards and stones together to reinforce the damaged houses, and the women were responsible for preparing food and taking care of the injured. The children were not idle either. They ran around the village, helping to pass tools and messages.

After everyone's efforts, the village gradually returned to its original appearance. Although everyone's faces were tired, there was more joy after overcoming the difficulties.

In this Windmill Village, everyone knows that they are a whole. Helping each other is not only a virtue but also the secret to making this village full of vitality. They continue to write stories full of love on this land, just like the rotation of the windmills will never stop.
