and he was filled with joy; and seized it; and said to the hare;
the service that i did to thee thou hast rendered back again many
times over; and the kindness that i showed thee thou hast repaid a
hundred…fold。
nay; answered the hare; but as thou dealt with me; so i did deal
with thee; and it ran away swiftly; and the star…child went
towards the city。
now at the gate of the city there was seated one who was a leper。
over his face hung a cowl of grey linen; and through the eyelets
his eyes gleamed like red coals。 and when he saw the star…child
ing; he struck upon a wooden bowl; and clattered his bell; and
called out to him; and said; give me a piece of money; or i must
die of hunger。 for they have thrust me out of the city; and there
is no one who has pity on me。
alas! cried the star…child; i have but one piece of money in my
wallet; and if i bring it not to my master he will beat me; for i
am his slave。
but the leper entreated him; and prayed of him; till the star…child
had pity; and gave him the piece of white gold。
and when he came to the magicians house; the magician opened to
him; and brought him in; and said to him; hast thou the piece of
white gold? and the star…child answered; i have it not。 so the
magician fell upon him; and beat him; and set before him an empty
trencher; and said; eat; and an empty cup; and said; drink; and
flung him again into the dungeon。
and on the morrow the magician came to him; and said; if to…day
thou bringest me not the piece of yellow gold; i will surely keep
thee as my slave; and give thee three hundred stripes。
so the star…child went to the wood; and all day long he searched
for the piece of yellow gold; but nowhere could he find it。 and at
sunset he sat him down and began to weep; and as he was weeping
there came to him the little hare that he had rescued from the
trap;
and the hare said to him; why art thou weeping? and what dost
thou seek in the wood?
and the star…child answered; i am seeking for a piece of yellow
gold that is hidden here; and if i find it not my master will beat
me; and keep me as a slave。
follow me; cried the hare; and it ran through the wood till it
came to a pool of water。 and at the bottom of the pool the piece
of yellow gold was lying。
how shall i thank thee? said the star…child; for lo! this is the
second time that you have succoured me。
nay; but thou hadst pity on me first; said the hare; and it ran
away swiftly。
and the star…child took the piece of yellow gold; and put it in his
wallet; and hurried to the city。 but the leper saw him ing; and
ran to meet him; and knelt down and cried; give me a piece of
money or i shall die of hunger。
and the star…child said to him; i have in my wallet but one piece
of yellow gold; and if i bring it not to my master he will beat me
and keep me as his slave。
but the leper entreated him sore; so that the star…child had pity
on him; and gave him the piece of yellow gold。
and when he came to the magicians house; the magician opened to
him; and brought him in; and said to him; hast thou the piece of
yellow gold? and the star…child said to him; i have it not。 so
the magician fell upon him; and beat him; and loaded him with
chains; and cast him again into the dungeon。
and on the morrow the magician came to him; and said; if to…day
thou bringest me the piece of red gold i will set thee free; but if
thou bringest it not i will surely slay thee。
so the star…child went to the wood; and all day long he searched
for the piece of red gold; but nowhere could he find it。 and at
evening he sat him down and wept; and as he was weeping there came
to him the little hare。
and the hare said to him; the piece of red gold that thou seekest
is in the cavern that is behind thee。 therefore weep no more but
be glad。
how shall i reward thee? cried the star…child; for lo! this is
the third time thou hast succoured me。
nay; but thou hadst pity on me first; said the hare; and it ran
away swiftly。
and the star…child entered the cavern; and in its farthest corner
he found the piece of red gold。 so he put it in his wallet; and
hurried to the city。 and the leper seeing him ing; stood in the
centre of the road; and cried out; and said to him; give me the
piece of red money; or i must die; and the star…child had pity on
him again; and gave him the piece of red gold; saying; thy need is
greater than mine。 yet was his heart heavy; for he knew what evil
fate awaited him。
but lo! as he passed through the gate of the city; the guards bowed
down and made obeisance to him; saying; how beautiful is our
lord! and a crowd of citizens followed him; and cried out; surely
there is none so beautiful in the whole world! so that the star…
child wept; and said to himself; they are mocking me; and making
light of my misery。 and so large was the concourse of the people;
that he lost the threads of his way; and found himself at last in a
great square; in which there was a palace of a king。
and the gate of the palace opened; and the priests and the high
officers of the city ran forth to meet him; and they abased
themselves before him; and said; thou art our lord for whom we
have been waiting; and the son of our king。
and the star…child

渔夫和他的灵魂
每天晚上年轻的渔夫都要出海去打鱼,把他的网撒到海里去。
风从陆地上吹来的时候,他便什么也捕不到,或者最多只能捉到一小点,因为那是一种
凶猛的长着黑翅膀的风,就连巨浪也跳起来欢迎它。不过当风朝岸上吹来的时候,鱼儿们便
从深海里浮上来,游到他的网里,他把抓来的鱼带到市场上去卖掉。
每天晚上他都出海打鱼,有一天晚上,收网的时候,网重得很,他差一点没能把网给拖
上船来。他笑了,自言自语的说:“我一定是把所有游动的鱼都给捕住了,要不就是把人们
当成是奇迹的什么怪物给弄进了网中,再不然就是伟大的女王喜欢的那种可怕的东西。”他
使出浑身的劲紧紧地拉着这根粗绳子,直到手臂上长长的血管给拉得冒了起来,就像绕在锅
制花瓶上的蓝色彩釉的条纹一样。他又使劲地曳细绳,近了,那个扁平的软木浮圈越来越近
了,网?
