”Lean, help me take a picture!”

”Dad, I want to go to the bathroom!”

”Look, it's the Terminator! Schwarzenegger's Terminator!”

”Galaxy, come on!”

”Mom, mom, who is this person? She’s so pretty!”

”My dear. I’m so sorry! I should not have said that Halle Berry is more beautiful than you...”

It moved forward step by step, carefully avoiding the tourists coming and going, moving around the wax figures like a ghost.

The sounds from all directions were converging in its ears and echoing in its mind.

Lean?

Schwarzenegger?

Terminator?

Galaxy?

Halle Berry?

Who were they? Their names were alien to it.

It felt a bit of a headache. It shook its head, but the pain still vaguely existed.

Right! It suddenly remembered a more important thing, and could not help but freeze there.

Who am I?

And what is my name?

It stared blankly and looked around, watching the passing tourists, hoping that they would stop to tell it the answer... but no, no one stopped — everyone's eyes were lingering on the wax figures of celebrities. No one lowered their heads to look at it.

Head down, it walked aimlessly forward, not knowing where it came from and where to go.

”Mom! Is she an awesome actress?”

When it looked up, it found itself approaching a mother and her daughter, who were pointing at a wax figure excitedly.

The little girl's mother watched at the wax figure and said, ”She was an excellent actress and received numerous awards… but first and foremost, she was a person of integrity. She had never lost herself in the luxurious and materialistic Hollywood.”

Numerous awards? Hearing this, it sneered lightly. How dare she? This ignorant woman must have never seen someone who was truly competent!

The little girl's mother seemed to have heard this sneer. Stunned for a moment, she looked around, but did not find the source of the sound.

”Mom, what happened? What are you looking for?” The little girl looked up with confusion at her mother.

She shook her head. Maybe she had misheard something?

”Audrey Hepburn was not the most beautiful actress in Hollywood, nor was she the one with the best acting skills, but she was a person of integrity with a good heart. She was sympathetic for the weak. She liked children and small animals, she adopted deer and a few puppies, and she even appeared in a movie with her dog called Famous. In her older age, she devoted herself to public welfare with the greatest enthusiasm. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to free children younger than you from starvation, she tirelessly visited various impoverished areas in Africa... ”

The sleeping memory had been revived in her mind. She seemed to have returned to her adolescence, when she was crazy about collecting the materials of Audrey Hepburn. She put her hands on her daughter's shoulders, enumerating the deeds of Audrey Hepburn smoothly, as if they were her family treasures.

Her daughter listened attentively, and her eyes brightened.

In this era, when the private lives and moralities of celebrities were becoming increasingly corrupt, Audrey Hepburn was undoubtedly a decent and honorable celebrity of Hollywood and was worth being remembered forever.

She said affectionately, ”When Audrey Hepburn was old and dying, her son asked if she had anything to say, and she replied, 'No, I have no regrets... I just do not understand why so many children are suffering?'”

”Mom! She must be an angel!” The little girl's eyes were full of tears.

”Yes, baby, she was an angel who was left in this world by God, and after she had completed her missions, she re-entered the Father's arms.” She crouched down and embraced her daughter from behind. Together, they gazed at this wax figure that had frozen the most beautiful moment of the angel.

She had planted an idea in her daughter's mind. For her daughter, who was about to enter adolescence, the influence of an idol was strong. If possible, she hoped her daughter could set a goal to become a person like Audrey Hepburn, as she had done when she was young. Perhaps when they came back home from this trip, she can share with her daughter the images and information she had collected of Audrey Hepburn.

She did not know that, in addition to her daughter, there was an elfin invisible to her also listening carefully to her narrative.

...

When the mother and the daughter had left, the elfin started to gaze at Audrey Hepburn's smile. Her smile was very sincere and relaxing, as if she had finished a very important job, and finally she could sit back and have a good rest. She was about to eat a cookie, drink a cup of hot coffee, smell the intoxicating flowers, and wait quietly for the arrival of her true love.

Was she an angel?

It envied her very much. She knew who she was in her own heart, knew her own missions and completed them, and had never lost herself in this dazzling world with myriad temptations.

If possible, it also wanted to spend its life without regrets, like she had.

It also wanted to become an angel!

”Meow!”

It moved its ears and turned around, noticing that a kitten was looking at it.

The kitten had black and white fur, and had a pair of fantastic silver-grey eyes. The kitten’s movement and tones were very adorable. Keeping a safe distance from it, the kitten didn’t feel a bit threatened.

It must have been overly focused on the wax figure so it didn’t notice when the kitten had arrived.

Huh? This kitten can see me?

It was very surprised. Obviously not even humans could see it, so why could this kitten?
