我解开他一向戴着的金黄色的围脖，用水浸湿他的太阳穴，让他喝了点水。此时，我甚么也不敢再问他。他严厉地凝睇着我，双手搂着我的脖子。我感到他的心就像一只被枪弹击中而濒于灭亡的鸟一样在跳动着。他说：“我很欢畅，你终究修好了飞机。你不久便能够回家去了……”

"But it will be like an old abandoned shell. There is nothing sad about old shells..."I said nothing.
"I have your sheep. And I have the sheep’s box. And I have the muzzle..." And he gave me a sad smile.
"It is just as it is with the flower. If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers...""Yes, I know..."
