和大多数孩子一样,我早在进学校之前就已经学会了对于生命最不可缺和最有价值的东西。我的先生们就是苹果树、雨和太阳、小河和森林、蜜蜂和甲虫、牧神潘恩和外祖父宝藏箱里跳舞的神像。我懂得很多事情,我知道怎样跟动物玩,一点不怕它们,我识得许多星星,在果园里样样在行,对水里的鱼无所不识,而且也已经学会了唱好多首歌。 Like most children, I’ve learned the most essential and valuable things for life before I go to school. My gentlemen are the apple trees, rain and sun, streams and forests, bees and beetles, the goddess Paine and the idol dancing in the grandfather’s chest. I know a lot of things. I know how to play with animals. I’m not afraid of them. I know many stars. They are in the orchard. They know nothing about the fish in the water, and they have learned to sing many songs.
