Summary of Reading "Over the Deep Bule Sea"

I read a book which named"Over the Deep Blue Sea" and it was written by Daisaku Ikeda then translated into English. It was a story about Hiroshi and Akiko, they were brother and sister. Because their parents' work, they had been took to a wild island. They felt lonely until they met Pablo. He was a friendly islander and soon they became friends. Pablo taught them how to paddle a canoe, led them diving in the sea to see the colorful fishes, and showed them where a hundred sea turtles laying their eggs. He showed them everything he knew in this island.

One day Pablo asked his grandmother about the past of the wrecked ship showed which he showed to his new friends and found out the people in Akiko and Hiroshi's country were the islanders enemy during war time. So he decided not to play with "his enemies" anymore.
Hiroshi was angry because Pablo said he and his sister were his enemies. He paddled the canoe across the current alone. Soon the weather became terrible, Hiroshi was in danger and Pablo saved him. Finally, two men grabbed them on their ship.

The ship skipper told them that Pablo's ancestors and Hiroshi's were brothers in the past; sometimes people forgot and only remembered the war, like Pablo's grandmother did. After that, they were still good friends, not enemies.

"Sometimes people forget........" just like the ship skipper said, sometimes we would forget something, even the relationship between others and us. I made self-examination after I finished this book. And found that I had the same experience once when some events happened. It was a pity. If I can tolerate others' mistakes and different opinions, I would not intent to forget those things. This is a great book. It uses a simple story telling us the truths of life.
