《THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER》第47章

n　grass　…　a　huge　plain　of　very　fine　short　grass；　almost level　with　the　silver　sea　and　spreading　in　every　direction　without　so　much　as　a　molehill。
and　of　course；　as　it　always　does　in　a　perfectly　flat　place　without　trees； it　looked　as　if　the　sky　came　down　to　meet　the　grass　in　front　of　them。　but　as　they　went　on　they got　the　strangest　impression　that　here　at　last　the　sky　did　really　e　down　and join　the　earth　…　a
blue　wall；　very　bright；　but　real　and　solid：　more　like　glass　than　anything else。　and　soon　they　were　quite　sure　of　it。　it　was　very　near　now。
but　between　them　and　the　foot　of　the　sky　there　was　something　so　white　on the　green　grass　that　even　with　their　eagles　eyes　they　could　hardly　look　at　it。　they came　on　and　saw　that　it　was　a　lamb。
〃e　and　have　breakfast；〃　said　the　lamb　in　its　sweet　milky　voice。
then　they　noticed　for　the　first　time　that　there　was　a　fire　lit　on　the　grass and　fish　roasting　on　it。　they　sat　down　and　ate　the　fish；　hungry　now　for　the　first　time　for many　days。　and　it　was　the　most　delicious　food　they　had　ever　tasted。
〃please；　lamb；〃　said　lucy；　〃is　this　the　way　to　aslans　country？”
〃not　for　you；〃　said　the　lamb。　〃for　you　the　door　into　aslans　country　is from　your　own　world。”
〃what！〃　said　edmund。　〃is　there　a　way　into　aslans　country　from　our　world too？”
〃there　is　a　way　into　my　country　from　all　the　worlds；〃　said　the　lamb；　but　as he　spoke　his　snowy　white　flushed　into　tawny　gold　and　his　size　changed　and　he　was　aslan himself；　towering　above　them　and　scattering　light　from　his　mane。
〃oh；　aslan；〃　said　lucy。　〃will　you　tell　us　how　to　get　into　your　country　from our　world？”
〃i　shall　be　telling　you　all　the　time；〃　said　aslan。　〃but　i　will　not　tell　you how　long　or　short　the　way　will　be；　only　that　it　lies　across　a　river。　but　do　not　fear　that； for　i　am　the　great　bridge　builder。　and　now　e；　i　will　open　the　door　in　the　sky　and　send　you to　your　own　land。”
〃please；　aslan；〃　said　lucy。　〃before　we　go；　will　you　tell　us　when　we　can e　back　to　narnia　again？　please。　and　oh；　do；　do；　do　make　it　soon。〃 〃dearest；〃　said　aslan　very　gently；　〃you　and　your　brother　will　never　e balk　to　narnia。”
〃oh；　aslan！！〃　said　edmund　and　lucy　both　together　in　despairing　voices。
〃you　are　too　old；　children；〃　said　aslan；　〃and　you　must　begin　to　e　close to　your　own　world　now。”
〃it　isnt　narnia；　you　know；〃　sobbed　lucy。　〃its　you。　we　shant　meet　you there。　and　how　can　we　live；　never　meeting　you？”
〃but　you　shall　meet　me；　dear　one；〃　said　aslan。
〃are　are　you　there　too；　sir？〃　said　edmund。
〃i　am；〃　said　aslan。　〃but　there　i　have　another　name。　you　must　learn　to　know me　by　that　name。　this　was　the　very　reason　why　you　were　brought　to　narnia；　that　by knowing　me　here　for　a　little；　you　may　know　me　better　there。”
〃and　is　eustace　never　to　e　back　here　either？〃　said　lucy。
〃child；〃　said　aslan；　〃do　you　really　need　to　know　that？　e；　i　am　opening the　door　in　the　sky。〃　then　all　in　one　moment　there　was　a　rending　of　the　blue　wall　（like a　curtain　being　torn）　and　a　terrible　white　light　from　beyond　the　sky；　and　the　feel　of aslans　mane　and　a　lions　kiss　on　their　foreheads　and　then　…　the　bark　bedroom　in　aunt albertas　home　in　cambridge。
only　two　more　things　need　to　be　told。　one　is　that　caspian　and　his　men　all came　safely　back　to　ramandus　island。　and　the　three　lords　woke　from　their　sleep。 caspian　married　ramandus　daughter　and　they　all　reached　narnia　in　the　end；　and　she　became　a great　queen　and　the　mother　and　grandmother　of　great　kings。　the　other　is　that　back　in our　own　world　everyone　soon　started　saying　how　eustace　had　improved；　and　how　〃youd　never know　him　for　the　same　boy〃：　everyone　except　aunt　alberta；　who　said　he　had　bee very　monplace　and　tiresome　and　it　must　have　been　the　influence　of　those pevensie　children。
