第5章 春日喜悦:铁锹鼠

铁锹鼠,芸芸众鼠中的平凡一只。

Spade,one of millions of ordinary mice.

每天早早起来到草野中寻食。

能找到草籽最好,没有就换草根;

再没有,草叶甚至枯草也行,只要能活下去。

虽然每天很累,经常挨饿,

但所有老鼠都是这样,也就没有什么好抱怨的了,

至少每天他睡得很沉很香,有时还会做个美梦。

Every day he got up early to search foods in the weed field.

It would be better to find seeds.If not finding them,the roots of grass would be ok;

Even if finding nothing,it would be as long as he could survive.

Although all of mice did so this way,there was nothing to complain.

At least he could sleep well each night and sometimes he could have a sweet dream.

他最幸福的时候就是有两、三天的储粮,可以暂时不用担心,

还能抽空晒晒太阳,享受一下活着的快乐。

The happiest time for him was when he had stored enough foods in a few days,he did not have to worry about hunger for a moment and could spend a little time basking in the sunshine and enjoy his life.

但是,心果改变了他的生活。

However,Heart Fruit changed his life.

有一天,他看到一只老鼠背着鲜红巨大的心型果实,

他从来没见过,甚至不知道那是食物。

上前一问,才知道那就是到处传说的心果。

他当然不知道那只老鼠其实是铅笔鼠安排的。

他很想知道心果的滋味,那只老鼠绘声绘色地形容了一番,

但说到价格,他忍不住惊叫起来。

那只老鼠很鄙夷地看了他一眼,立即转身扬长而去。

One day,he saw a mouse carrying a big red fruit with heart shape he had never seen before and even did not know if that was of food.

He advanced to ask him and just knew that was the legendary Heart Fruit.

Surely he got no idea of that mouse actually arranged by Pencil.

He was eager to taste it and that mouse vividly described it.

But reminding of price,he could not help exclaiming.

Scornfully glancing at him,that mouse immediatedly turned back and left.

当天晚上,他就做了一个梦,

在梦里,他拥有了一个心果,刚要张嘴去咬,梦醒了。

从那天起,他开始魂不守舍。

That night,he had a dream in which he owned a heart fruit.

But he woke up when he was going to bite.

From that day on,he began to lose in thought.

他身边有几只老鼠换到了心果,

他眼睁睁看着他们一小口一小口幸福品尝着。

那陶醉的神情,简直像在吃天堂的果实。

他忍不住流下口水,决心开始拼命积攒粮食。

A few mice nearby had changed for heart fruits and he just looked miserably at them happifully tasting it with a bit of bites.

The delighted looks simply felt like eating fruit in heaven.

He could not help drooling and determined to do his best to collect foods.

他从来没像现在这样劳累过,

但他却丝毫不觉得累。

眼看着储粮一点点增加,兴奋也一天天增强。

He had never exhausted himself like now,but he did not feel tired at all.

Looking at foods increasing bit by bit,he was excited gradually day by day.

粮食终于积攒够了!

他起了个大早,背起粮食兴冲冲赶到心果园。

可是到了那里却发现,排队等候的长龙看不到头。

等了不知道有多久,才终于轮到他。

虽然只换到小小的一块,他却觉得非常重、非常大。

他当然舍不得马上吃,一路嗅着,一路笑着往回走。

光是那香味,就已经让他神魂颠倒。

其他老鼠羡慕的眼光,更是让他飘上半空。

Finally,foods were stored enough!

He got up so early and carried foods to rush into the yard of Heart Fruit.

When he arrived,he found the long line to wait had no end.

After a long long waiting,it was on his turn at last.

Just changing for a little piece,but he felt very heavy and big.

Surely he was unwilling to eat right now.He was smelling while walking back with smile on the way.

Only the fragrance had made him dazzled.

Let alone the sight of admiration from other mice floated him upto the air.

回到窝里,打扫干净房间,

他才郑重其事地坐下来,小心翼翼地品尝。

啊!那滋味……

Returned his nest and cleaned his room,he just solemnly sit down and carefully tasted.

Oops!That flavor…

尝过心果之后,再吃其他食物,简直如同嚼土。

他开始更加拼命地积攒粮食。

但是他发现,身边的老鼠变得和他一样勤奋。

全都埋着头,没有了笑容,更没有了闲聊。

食物也就更难找了。

Ate other foods after tasting Heart Fruit,just like eating earth.

He began to collect foods harder than before.

However,he found that other mice beside him became deligent the same as him.

They all lowered their heads with no smile and let alone gossips.

It was harder to find food as well.

没有办法,只有比其他老鼠起得更早、睡得更晚。

就这样,第一块、第二块、第三块……

心果成为他生活中唯一的乐趣和目标。

There was no better way than getting up earlier and sleeping later.

Like this,one piece,two,three…

Heart Fruit became the only joy and target in his life.

没过多久,心果开始涨价,没有办法,他只有多积攒。

又过了一阵,心果开始降价,他喜出望外,终于可以大口吃心果了。

但无论如何,心果始终太贵,不可能每天都吃到。

Soon after,the price of heart fruits began to rise.With no way,he had to collect foods much more.

After a while,heart fruits began to reduce price,he was so surprised with pleasure that he could eat heart fruits by large bites.

However,heart fruits were still so expensive that he could not eat every day.

于是,他不断在天堂和地狱间穿梭。

有心果在天堂,没有心果在地狱,而地狱远远多于天堂。

往日又沉又香的睡眠也离他远去,他开始辗转反侧。

有时他也忍不住会想:

以前没有心果的时候,我不是照样也能开心?

但这种问题,也只是想想而已,

因为他不想、也不可能回到过去。

现在,铁锹鼠唯一的念头就是:怎么能天天吃到心果。

以他现在的能力绝对不可能,但还有什么其他办法呢?

这让他很绝望,这样的处境又根本无法忍受。

幸好,一个机会从天而降。

心果园又扩大招工了,他立即前往。

他的力气和诚恳,让他顺利走进了心果园。

扛着铁锹,走进心果园的第一天,他又紧张又兴奋,

感到无比荣耀,像是走进了天堂的花园。

虽然他依然不能每天吃到心果,

但只要努力工作,每个月他就能领到一整个心果。

他很知足。
