《能言马与男孩》第67期:沙斯塔在纳尼亚(2)  

"Good morning
" said Shasta. "But I'm not a neighbour. In fact I'm a stranger in these parts."
"Ah?" said the Hedgehog inquiringly.
"I've e over the mountains - from Archenland
you know."
“我越过大山而来——你要知道，我是从阿钦兰来的。”
"Ha
Archenland
" said the Hedgehog. "That's a terrible long way. Never been there myself."
"And I think
perhaps
" said Shasta
"someone ought to be told that there's an army of savage Calormenes attacking Anvard at this very moment."
"You don't say so!" answered the Hedgehog. "Well
think of that. And they do say that Calormen is hundreds and thousands of miles away
right at the world's end
across a great sea of sand."
"It's not nearly as far as you think
" said Shasta. "And oughtn't something to be done about this attack on Anvard? Oughtn't your High King to be told?"
"Certain sure
something ought to be done about it
" said the Hedgehog. "But you see I'm just on my way to bed for a good day's sleep. Hullo
neighbour!"
The last words were addressed to an immense biscuitcoloured rabbit whose head had just popped up from somewhere beside the path. The Hedgehog immediately told the Rabbit what it had just learned from Shasta. The Rabbit agreed that this was very remarkable news and that somebody ought to tell someone about it with a view to doing something.
And so it went on. Every few minutes they were joined by other creatures
some from the branches overhead and some from little underground houses at their feet
till the party consisted of five rabbits
a squirrel
o magpies
a goat-foot faun
and a mouse
who all talked at the same time and all agreed with the Hedgehog. For the truth was that in that golden age when the Witch and the Winter had gone and Peter the High King ruled at Cair Paravel
the smaller woodland people of Narnia were so safe and happy that they were getting a little careless.
Presently
however
o more practical people arrived in the little wood. One was a Red Dwarf whose name appeared to be Duffle. The other was a stag
a beautiful lordly creature with wide liquid eyes
dappled flanks and legs so thin and graceful that they looked as if you could break them with o fingers.
