hello everyone! I am a gear lever for a tricycle, perhaps in your eyes, I am just an ordinary iron rod, silently accompanying the tricycle driver every day. However, in my opinion, I am an indispensable part of a tricycle and an important bridge connecting the driver and the soul of the vehicle.
In the morning, when the first ray of sunshine falls on the earth, my master – a hardworking and simple tricycle driver – begins his day’s work. He gently held me, as if grasping a power and belief. I can feel the temperature and strength of his palm, it’s a silent communication. With the owner’s movements, I flexibly changed positions, from first gear to second gear, and then to third gear, each movement was precise and error free, helping the tricycle smoothly travel on busy streets.
Some people say that tricycles are the most down-to-earth means of transportation in cities, not only carrying goods, but also an important support for many people’s livelihoods. And as a gear lever, I am the key to this livelihood. Whenever the vehicle encounters uphill or downhill, the owner will adjust the gear through me, so that the tricycle can better cope with various road conditions. Although I am a small gear lever, I bear the responsibility of helping my owner overcome difficulties and move forward courageously.
In the afternoon, the sun was high and the pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse. At this point, the owner will find a cool place to rest for a while. He would gently pat my body as if greeting me, and I would respond to him with a slight vibration. At this moment, I felt a deep sense of belonging and achievement. Because I know that it is the tacit cooperation between me and the owner that allows this tricycle to shuttle freely through the streets and alleys of the city, bringing convenience and warmth to people.
As night fell, the master finished his day’s work. He carefully wiped me clean before returning home to rest satisfactorily. And I am quietly waiting for the arrival of a new day. Although I am just a gear lever, I am proud to be a part of the owner’s life. I believe that in the days to come, I will continue to fight alongside my master and meet every new challenge together.
