When Xiao Lingyu heard all the aunties wanted to borrow Little Light, she was confused. "Bring Little Light for a walk with you? Why?"
The gathered crowd looked at Xiao Lingyu and then at each other. Auntie Hu stood forward to explain, "Lingyu, I heard that... Little Light came to you to help his mother as you came home from town. He even cried. Is that true?'
Xiao Lingyu looked at the crowd, and she nodded, "Yes."
Auntie Hu immediately smiled, "Little Light sure is intelligent." Then, she added tentatively, "Lingyu, I heard that Xiao Chengbang had taken Little Light for a walk around his tomato field. Now his tomatoes are growing especially well. We also want to borrow some of Little Light's good luck."
Xiao Chengbang and Zhou Yan didn't mention it was Little Light manure that helped their plant's growth. The other villagers thought Little Light was a sign of good luck.
