Idiom:Forever at your feet

Explanation:Always be there, never separate, and never give up.

story:The buoy watcher Nikita lives on the shore of a large river deep in the great forest. Around his cottage, there are no other people within a few kilometers, and very few people come here. But this old man is not lonely. He often hunts for fishing. Sometimes he can't attend even when he is so obsessed.

Not far from his residence there is a beautiful small lake, surrounded by thick shades, and there are too many fish to drag the nets easily. Every spring, there are many wild ducks that build nests in the lush grassy bay. A little bit further, sand chickens leap around on the beach with long buzzing, and long mouths linger in the mud. ......

One morning, Nikita looked at the other side of the boat as he was fishing. Suddenly he was stunned: On the lake where the sunrise glows, two white, snowy birds are swimming quietly and slowly. They are low and long. The neck is beautiful like two fairy birds flying from the mythical world.

"Ah, swan!" Nikita was amazed.

Every spring and autumn he looks at the swan and flies over it, but never sees them setting foot here. The arrival of these two swan, he could not help but praise.

The swan looked around and proudly at times, sometimes squinting at the reflection of his reflection in the clear lake water. He stayed in one place for a long time, and then he turned to the other side of the bay with no haste.

From this day, Nikita sees the two swans every day. They settled in the forest and built a nest on a floating island. Soon, the mother swan laid a few big yellowish swan eggs.

At this time, no other bird dared to approach this floating island. As soon as the mallard falls to the nearby water, the male swan rushes forward and the uninvited guest flies away.

Soon after, Nikita saw that they had hatched four cygnets, and saw them politely teaching the cygnets to feed. When the cygnets were so big as the mallard ducks, they moved to a small river that passed through the lake. Now.

For nearly two weeks, Nikita had never seen the beautiful swan. The lake suddenly became monotonous and lost its charming features.

After a while, one day, the swan's cry came again suddenly over the forest. Nikita stormed out of the hut and saw that all six swans were circling the lake and bathed in the bright sunshine. He enjoyed these proud dignified swan for a long time, and he could not tell which were the old swan and which were the little swan. He thought gloomily that the swan family would fly to the warm south of the country to spend the winter.

Gradually, the leaves began to turn yellow, and all the water plants on the lake fell down. The nights were getting colder and colder, and the northerly wind was getting stronger and stronger. In the sky above the forest, the sound of migratory birds flew south.

One day, six swans on the island also took off. They hovered over the lake for a week before going straight into the sky. Nikita waved to them and said, "All the way to peace!"

Suddenly, the buoy keeper found out that two swans have left the team one after another. They slowly circled and gradually landed over the forest. When they fell to the water, Nikita recognized it. They were two old swans. Why do they come back? This strange thing has been coiled around Nikita's mind.

In order to understand the reason, Nikita went to the lake more often. But he could not find any problem, except that the male swan occasionally suddenly buzzed and raised his wings to hover over the forest for long periods of time, as if he were to fly to the far south. Then it landed on the water again, swam around to the female swan, and gently stroked the female swan's feathers with its black swan.

What surprised the buoy watchers was that the two swans didn't seem to want to fly south. There are fewer and fewer migratory birds in the forest. The swan, if nothing else, wanders around the island and encounters windy and rainy weather. They avoid the reeds.

The last batch of wild geese also flew away, and the lake edged with thin ice. Two swanes moved to the mouth of the river, where the river was swift and never frozen. But they kept curling up and looking listless.

Nikita’s granddaughter, Galija, came to Grandpa’s side during the winter vacation and was soon attracted to the two swans. She asked Grandpa to sneak in and bring them back. Nikita also wanted to do this, but whenever they were close to where the swan was hiding, they would cry in horror and fly in the dark forest.

解释：永远在身边，永不分离，永不抛弃

故事：浮标看守人尼基塔，住在大森林深处的一条大河的岸边。他的小屋四周，几公里以内没有别的人家，也很少有人到这里来。但这位老人并不寂寞，他经常打猎捕鱼，着迷得有时连吃饭也顾不上。

离他住处不远有一个美丽的小湖，四周浓荫密布，鱼儿多得无法将网轻易拖上来。每年春天，在长满苇草的湖湾里有不少筑巢的野鸭，稍远一点，沙鸡拖着长长的啼鸣在沙滩上跳来跳去，长嘴在淤泥里踱来踱去……

一天早晨，尼基塔在捕鱼时朝对岸看了一眼，突然惊呆了：在朝霞映照下的湖面上，两只洁白如雪的大鸟在静悄悄地徐徐游动，它们低着长长的脖颈，美丽得像从神话世界飞来的两只仙鸟。

“啊，天鹅！”尼基塔惊奇极了。

他每年春天和秋天都望着天鹅从上空飞过，但从未见它们在这儿落脚过。这两只天鹅的来临，使他情不自禁地赞美起来。

天鹅时而骄傲地环视四周，时而斜视自己映在清澈湖水中的倒影，久久停留在一个地方，然后一拐弯，不慌不忙地游到湖湾的另一边去了。

从这天起，尼基塔每天看见这两只天鹅。它们在森林里定居下来，在一个浮岛上筑了个窝。不久，母天鹅下了几个很大的浅黄色的天鹅蛋。

这时任何别的鸟都不敢靠近这个浮岛。野鸭只要一落到附近水面，公天鹅就凶猛地冲上前，不速之客只好仓皇飞走。

不久，尼基塔看见它们孵出了四只小天鹅，又看见它们温文尔雅地教小天鹅觅食，当小天鹅长得有大野鸭那么大时，它们全家又搬到一条通湖的小河里去了。

将近两个星期，尼基塔一直没见到那几只美丽的天鹅，湖面一下子变得寂寞单调，失去了迷人的特色。

又过了一段时间，一天，森林上空突然又响起天鹅的叫声。尼基塔冲出小屋，只见那一家子六只天鹅全都在湖上盘旋，沐浴在灿烂的阳光中。他久久地欣赏着这些骄傲端庄的天鹅，分不清哪些是老天鹅，哪些是小天鹅。他忧郁地想，天鹅全家就要飞到南方温暖的地方去过冬了。

渐渐地，树叶开始发黄，湖边的水草全都倒下，黑夜越来越冷，北风越刮越烈。森林上空不断传来一阵阵候鸟南飞的鸣叫声。

一天，小岛上的六只天鹅也纷纷展翅起飞了。它们先在湖上盘旋一周，然后直插云霄。尼基塔向它们挥挥手说：”一路平安！”

忽然，浮标看守人发现，有两只天鹅先后离开了队伍，它们慢慢盘旋着，渐渐向森林上空降落。当它们降到水面上时，尼基塔认出来了，这是两只老天鹅。它们为什么又回来了呢？这件怪事一直索绕在尼基塔的脑海里。

为弄明白原因，尼基塔到湖边去的次数更多了。但他发现不了什么问题，只是那公天鹅偶尔会突然一边鸣叫，一边展翅而起，长时间孤独地盘旋在森林上空，像是立刻要向遥远的南方飞去。然后，它又降落到水面上，游到母天鹅身边，用它黑色的大喙温柔地抚摩着母天鹅的羽毛。

最使浮标看守人惊奇的是，这两只天鹅看来并不想飞到南方去了。森林里的候鸟越来越少，天鹅却若无其事地在小岛周围游来游去，遇到刮风下雨的天气，它们就躲避在芦苇丛里。

最后一批大雁也飞走了，湖边结起了薄冰。两只天鹅搬到了小河口，那儿的河水湍急，从不封冻。但它们一直蜷缩着身子，一副无精打采的样子。

尼基塔的孙女加利雅寒假里来到爷爷身边，马上就被这两只天鹅吸引住了。她请求爷爷悄悄把它们捉回来饲养。尼基塔也想这么做，但每当他们接近天鹅躲藏的地方，它们就会惊恐地叫着飞起来，在黑暗的林中乱飞乱撞。
