我还从未讲过这个故事。火伴们得知我返航，都为我活着返来而欢畅。我很哀痛。但是，我奉告他们：“我只是有点累。”
Look at it carefully so that you will be sure to recognise it in case you travel some day to the African desert. And, if you should come upon this spot, please do not hurry on. Wait for a time, exactly under the star. Then, if a little man appears who laughs, who has golden hair and who refuses to answer questions, you will know who he is. If this should happen, please comfort me. Send me word that he has come back.
But at another time I say to myself: "At some moment or other one is absent-minded, and that is enough! On some one evening he forgot the glass globe, or the sheep got out, without making any noise, in the night..." And then the little bells are changed to tears...
偶然，我也很忐忑：“人偶然不免会忽视的，有一次结果就很难预感！如果某一天早晨他忘了罩玻璃罩子，或者小绵羊夜里不声不响地跑出来……”想到这里，小铃铛都变成泪珠了！
Chapter 27
