小鹰的故事
荷叶/译
从前有一只小鹰,住在悬崖上的窝里,下面俯视着一个美丽的山谷,急流飞瀑,绿树掩映,还有许多小动物,跑来跑去,在享受着生活。
小鹰喜欢自己的窝。这是它的整个世界。温暖舒适,风景很好,更好的是,它拥有一只伟大的老鹰母亲所能提供的所有食物和关爱。一日数次,老鹰会从天空俯冲下来,落到窝里,喂食小鹰口口美食。老鹰就像小鹰的上帝,不知来自何处,但魅力无限。
小鹰总是很饿,老鹰总会带着它渴望的食物和关爱及时归来。小鹰长得身强体壮,视觉敏锐,一直都感觉良好。
直到有一天,老鹰不再出现。
小鹰很饿。“我会死的。”小鹰不住地哭叫着。
“死亡就要来了。”小鹰哭着,眼泪顺着面颊流下来。一遍又一遍地说,但是没有一个人来听它哭诉。
随后有一天,老鹰出现在崖顶,带来一大碗美食,它俯视着小鹰。小鹰仰视着老鹰哭诉:“为什么要抛弃我?我每一分钟都会死去。你怎能这样对我?”
老鹰说:“这里有营养美味的食物,你只需过来拿。”
“过去拿!”小鹰说,非常生气:“我怎样过去?”
老鹰飞走了。
小鹰哭呀哭。
几天后,“我要结束一切。”小鹰说:“我放弃,我的死期到了。”
它不知老鹰就在附近,老鹰俯冲到窝里,带来了小鹰最后一餐。
“把它吃掉,这是你最后一餐。”老鹰说。
小鹰哭了,边哭边数落母亲的不好。
“你是个可怕的母亲。”小鹰说。接下来老鹰把小鹰推到窝外。
小鹰掉下去了。
头朝下。
加速。
越来越快。
它尖叫:“我要死了,我要死了。”他哭喊,它再次加速。
它仰视自己的母亲:“你怎么可以这样对我?”
它向下看。
地面突然出现,越来越近。它能清晰地看到自己的死亡就要来了,它哭闹,它抱怨,“这不公平!”它尖叫着。
奇怪的事情发生了。
空气从它腋下托起了它,它双臂突然打开,有一种从来没有过的感觉。他向下一看,眼里是蓝天。它不再朝着地面下落。它向上一看,满眼阳光。
“咦,这是怎么回事?”它问。
“你在飞。”老鹰答道。
“这真有趣!”小鹰大笑,它飞上高空又俯冲下来。
“确实有趣!”老鹰附和着。

The Baby Eagle Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives. The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic. The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time. Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest. The baby eagle was hungry. "I'm sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time. "Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him. Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? I'm going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?" The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it." "Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?" The mother flew away. The baby cried and cried and cried. A few days later, "I'm going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die." He didn't know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal. "Eat this, it's your last meal," she said. The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was. "You're a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest. He fell. Head first. Picked up speed. Faster and faster. He screamed. "I'm dying I'm dying," he cried. He picked up more speed. He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?" He looked down. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isn't fair!" he screamed. Something strange happens. The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn't moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun. "Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!" "You're flying," his mother said. "This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and dived and swooped. "Yes it is!" said the mother. |
