When I was a child, I often saw an old man walking his birds in the community. It was this old man who left a deep impression on me.

The old man has a weird personality and a fierce face. The dark skin is full of criss-crossed wrinkles that show no signs of age, coupled with his pockmarked face that looks like it has been pierced by a nail board, it looks like a walking thousand-year-old tree from a distance. He never smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were always distorted. Every time we saw him he would run far away, and some people even gave him a nickname - Pockmarked Monster.
Gradually, I discovered that the old man was not as scary as we imagined. He would just walk the birds quietly in the small garden every day, never speaking, and never disturbing others.
One day, my friends and I were playing football in the garden. Just when we were playing vigorously, a kid kicked the ball toward the pond because he used too much force. We hurried to catch up, but the ball had already fallen into the pond as if it was flying.

We stood by the pool, looking helplessly at the ball floating on the water. Suddenly, my foot slipped and fell into the pool. Unfortunately: my left foot got stuck in a crevice at the bottom of the pool, and I couldn't climb out no matter how hard I tried. At this time, the "Pockmarked Monster" walked towards us with long strides. Everyone immediately dispersed, leaving me struggling in the pond. The "Pockmarked Monster" came to me, and I screamed in fright: "The Pockmarked Monster is going to eat people!" But he didn't hurt me, but pulled my feet out of the cracks in the rocks with his big rough hands. He fished out the ball with one hand and handed it to us. I raised my voice and said, "Thank you!" and ran away.
After that day, the image of the old man was no longer so scary in our hearts, but became taller.
In life, we cannot judge people by their appearance. There is often a kind heart hidden under some vicious appearance.
