Is this correct? Just say "I do" for love all my life (from Reader, No.265438, 2009 +0).

She wore a fishtail skirt, her skin was as smooth as pearls, her eyes were as deep as sea water, but there was no mouth on her face-yes, because she couldn't speak, so she gave her beautiful voice to the unlucky witch in exchange for love.

From March 2008, visitors to Evernig, a small town near Staten Island in new york, USA, will see this stone carving in Linhai Park. However, you must not think that it is a copy of Hai's daughter. The tour guide will remind you that this sculpture is a special gift from the residents of Evernigh town to Jenny and her husband Steve. Their stories have a better ending than fairy tales.

The story dates back to 30 years ago:1978 65438+1At the beginning of October, Jenny, a girl who lives in the small town of Evernigh, came to the tailor's shop next door with a box of "foam cakes" made by herself. She showed the cake to Mrs. Ross and discussed her marriage with her. The wedding day is approaching, and her heart is full of sweet expectations.

Jenny is talking to Mrs. Ross, but as the cold and persistent winter rain outside the window gets heavier and heavier, her mood obviously becomes gloomy. Steve went shopping in the city in that shiny old car. Supposedly, he should have come back long ago. I hope nothing will happen to him ...

The town hospital suddenly called, and her fiance Steve had a car accident and needed amputation. Put the phone down and Jenny rushed into the rain. Jenny saw Steve in the emergency room of the hospital. He hasn't regained consciousness because of anesthesia. Jenny kissed his pale face and stroked his lower body with her fingers very gently. It's already empty.

Steve woke up and said to Jenny, "Let's break off the engagement!" " His tone was firm and cold. Jenny knew Steve didn't want to be a burden to her. Although he has a prosthetic leg, he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair because of his spinal injury.

Jenny tried to persuade Steve to change his mind. She recalled their childhood. When they fell in love for the first time, they made an exciting vows of eternal love ... However, no matter how hard she tried, Steve insisted on closing himself in endless despair and never seeing Jenny again.

Jenny tried to persuade Steve to change his mind. She recalled their childhood. When they fell in love for the first time, they made an exciting vows of eternal love ... However, no matter how hard she tried, Steve insisted on closing himself in endless despair and never seeing Jenny again.

I haven't seen her for almost a month. She is as thin as a flower that has lost its moisture. Seeing two long tracks left by a wheelchair on the beach, Jenny found Steve. She silently handed him the diagnosis book in her hand, which read: laryngeal tumor! Although the pathological examination is benign, it must be removed because of its large size, and the operation will destroy the vocal cords. In other words, Jenny will lose her voice after the operation!

Jenny whispered, "You were right to break up. We are all disabled people and don't deserve perfect love. Life will never be like a fairy tale. "

A sea breeze gently blew on his face, and he felt the biting cold. Only at this moment did he realize how much he loved the girl. He hugged Jenny gently and said, "Don't be sad. When you finish the operation, all the flowers will bloom in spring. Then, we will get married, ok? "

Jenny's body is shaking gently. This is the sentence she has been waiting for. This is a love oath that has gone through the joys and sorrows of fate and finally reached her heart! Steve also promised Jenny that he would get married in their future home. Jenny likes tablecloths decorated with Kobanawa flowers everywhere in the room. ...

Jenny's operation is scheduled for two weeks. Jenny said that she would have an operation in a big hospital in new york. Steve stayed at home because of mobility difficulties. Before leaving, Jenny told Steve that she would say the last three words to him before she lost her voice: "I do", which are the three words she must promise to the priest at the wedding, because she can't make a sound after the operation, and she must solemnly tell her lover these three words in advance.

Jenny's operation went well. She rushed back to town from new york the day before Easter. On the wedding day, people say that Jenny is the most beautiful bride. She wears a fishtail wedding dress, just like a "mermaid princess". When the priest asked the sacred words, "Jenny, will you marry Steve as your wife, whether in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, will you love him unreservedly and be loyal to him forever?"

In a flash, people held their breath. She tried to open her mouth wide. People present seemed to hear those three words. Yes, that's Jenny's voice. She tried to open her mouth again and again. Although there was no sound, everyone understood that she was saying "I do"

After their marriage, they opened a cake shop called Fairy Tales. Jenny made delicious cakes, and he was in charge of sales. Although Jenny can't speak, the cake she made clearly shows her deep love to customers, and everyone can see their happiness. Every night, they go for a walk on the beautiful seaside.

Five years later, they had a quarrel: Jenny wanted to expand the store, and Steve insisted on buying her a piano with the money he had saved. In the starry night, the couple sat in front of the piano for a long time, their fingers jumping on the black and white keys. At the end of the song, they were silent, their eyes were intertwined and their hearts were connected.

Twenty years have passed, and every year on Steve's birthday, Jenny will push a wheelchair to accompany him to the seaside; On her birthday, Steve will recite The Daughter of the Sea for her.

The 30th wedding anniversary is coming, and Steve wants to invite some friends to celebrate with him. Steve searched through the address of his old friend at home, but he couldn't find it for a long time. Just as he was about to give up, he saw a yellow piece of paper at the bottom of the box, which was Jenny's medical certificate. He found a line on it: hospital misdiagnosis record!

That night, they didn't go for a walk by the sea. Steve handed the diagnosis to Jenny.

Jenny didn't deny it. She told the truth by gesture: at that time, she received a medical certificate from the hospital and thought she would lose her voice. She met Steve that day and heard his proposal. At that moment, she was so happy that she even felt that God wanted her to exchange her voice for a lifetime of happiness.

With Steve, she felt that even losing her voice was not a terrible thing, but when she went to new york for surgery, she realized that it was a misdiagnosis. She hesitated. She is afraid that the result of this correction will make love grow wings and fly away, because she knows him too well and he doesn't want her to stay with him perfectly.

Jenny is convinced that it is because of her "defects" that Steve can overcome the inferiority caused by disability and regain his self-confidence and self-confidence. Without hesitation, she decided to dedicate her voice to the witch of doom like the "daughter of the sea"! She didn't have surgery, and there was nothing wrong with her vocal organs. But for so many years, she never stopped talking. She is used to it. For 30 years, she has been silently telling the true meaning of "I do" love.

When Jenny said "I do" to her husband again, he was in tears: love is actually a very simple thing, and sometimes it is just three words "I do"

At the beginning of 2008, moved by Jenny's spirit of sacrifice for love, the residents of the small town of Evernigh spontaneously raised funds to build a statue in Linhai Park. There is a line engraved on the stone: "She is an ordinary woman, and she has done an extraordinary thing." Because of this, this town is famous in North America. Many tourists come to Linhai Park to see stone carvings and listen to guides telling real fairy tales. Then they will ask themselves, "Are you willing to say yes? Whether in good times or bad, whether rich or poor, whether in health or disease, whether happy or sad, you will love him (her) without reservation and be loyal to him (her ... "
