Chapter
a mile away, a thousand feet beneath. Tom found like this, but look down the surface That weeding the garden, wearing a red skirt of the woman, like throwing a stone hit her in the back can be like, and even thrown Point Valley can reach across the rocks. because the bottom is just as wide a field along the Valley side of the river flowing piece. and then in the past, is the gray mountain, plateau gray, gray stone steps, swamp ash, has risen to-day.
This is a quiet, quiet, rich, happy place ; look up on the ground only a narrow and deep crevices, very deep and very remote, even those who simply can not find where the bad fairy. this place is called where the valley. Tom to go all the way. He first three hundred feet down the steep slope. slope full of students heather, brown sand sandwiched loosely than a rasp still rough, so when he was skipping down along the slope when the child, his poor heel is not a taste. but he can still feel that was a stone thrown into the garden.
Then he went down three hundred feet of limestone, then a slope of a slope, as was well in advance with a measuring tape, and then chisel chisel out as straight. above a heather is gone.
Xiaoqing, but there is a grassy slope above the very top of covered with a beautiful variety of flowers, a stone roses, saxifrage, fennel, mint, and a variety of herbs.
then he jumped off a piece of limestone two feet high.
Here is a flower.
later jumped out of a one-foot-high stone steps.
here again Fifty yards is a piece of flowers, but like the others, like the steep roof, Tom had to sit down and slide down.
followed by a rock slope, ten feet high. He had to stop here along the edge of the crawling, looking for stones, because if slip roll down, he would have been rolled into the old lady's garden, her shocked when they heard. Later, he found a dark narrow passage, which was full of the green stems of the fern grass, just like people hanging in the basket in the living room as. He just hands and feet, Come, climb down from the crevice, climb down the chimney as the same. then again a grass, but also a stone step, and thus down, until mm Oh, my God! I Hope he climbed; he also anxious to climbed. However, he also thought he had a pebble thrown into the old woman can do in the garden.
He finally went to a wooded place, where there are long the back is silver-gray leaves of the poplar and mountain big Eurya, mountain oak and the like. Looking down all the trees cliff rocks, stones and water transport, and large tracts of fern reed. could see the flashes from the middle of the river the trees, and hear the river flowing through the sound of Whitehead. Tom did not know there are three hundred feet under it.
you may feel dizzy looking down; but Tom and do not think so. he was a brave child chimney sweep, so when he found himself standing before a gaoya above, he does not sit on the floor crying my father (though he has never been a father for crying) He said, is a jolly little black monkey, a long four instead of two hands like claws.
beginning to end, however, he did not see that the Irish woman followed behind him.
but he has now exhausted . high in the sun on the moor his dried out; that many trees on the wet rock heat, roasted him worse. sweat from his fingertips and toes on the drip out of his wash clean, and he was not so clean, from the year before. but needless to say, he passed the place but that he had polluted, pollution, badly ill. tall crags Since then a large black mark on the left , Yan Ding until the rock from the feet. And from that time onwards, the valley far more than ever, black beetle, needless to say, the cause is also due to Tom. the original ancestor of those black beetles are going to get married, wore a blue coat The following is the red leather leggings, just like gardeners keep a dog, his mouth when the title of a bunch of flower so beautiful at this time, Tom Black sweat it, its children and grandchildren are all from is a black.
he finally had to go in the end. But when Made in or not in the end. It is also common in people down to do. in huge piles of rocks at the foot of the fallen from above limestone, both large and small; small, have your big head, big as big as the carriage of mail. stone cave the middle of a big fern grows fragrant grass. Tom has not had time to finish these stones, and again place into the sun is shining. Then all of a sudden, just like ordinary people do, he felt weak to continue.
little guy, like your life if you want to spend like a MAN, no matter how strong your health You have to prepare a few times in life when not hold. And you can not hold on to, you will find that your mood is very depressed. I hope you run into this day, can have a strong, faithful, make it, friends around you. because if not, you're like poor Tom, as the only way is to lay the same place, waiting for the opportunity.
he can not leavin. The sun is hot, but he was covered in the name of the Cold War. his stomach empty, but people feel like to vomit. in between him and that the cottage, only a hundred yards separate the flat pastures, but he walked not in the past. He can hear water gurgling in a land flowing over there, but in his view, is like a hundred miles as the outside.
he fell to the ground without moving black beetles attracted to climb up his body , flies rest on his nose. If it is not those who made a mosquito flies compassion for him, I do not know when he can up. But those mosquitoes in his ears played very loud thunder, that flies to see his hand where there is no soot on his face to suck, so that finally brought him back to life. He therefore Waiwaidaodao around, climb over a low wall, a path walked by the door of the cottage.
turned out to be a clean exquisite cottage garden fence surrounded by cork, a very neat trim. garden which is also kind of a cork, cut into peacocks, long horn, teapots and all kinds of strange things. came from the open door Guo Guo is like a frog sound, that they know to be hot tomorrow, especially heat. The frog will know how, I do not know, you do not know, but who do not know.
Tom walked slowly toward the door the door on the clematis and rose have long times; his peep to the door, and my heart a little afraid.
inside the room sat a very kind old lady, she sat beside the empty fireplace, put a fireplace pots of herbs. She wore a red dress, and a convex pattern of the blouse, wearing a clean white hat, a black Choujin top cover, fastened at the chin. at her feet, could not have sat an old old The Tomcat; sitting on a bench opposite the two dozen clothes clean, rosy, chubby child, learned the letters, Cardholders sorts of places into a quarrel. What a delightful cottage Yeah, to spread The slate is clean shiny, some strange old hanging on the wall paintings, an old black oak wood cupboard, which filled with white wax white wine jar, corner there is a partridge minutes. Tom just appeared, it Partridge cried only once, not because it was afraid to see Tom, but now happens to be eleven o'clock.
those kids like to see Tom dirty black, all scared. girl cried, and men Children laughed and pointed to him very politely poking. But Tom was too tired, that did not mind. ! Go, go, here I am not allowed to have chimney sweep come. , sounds very harsh.
Tom saw the old lady with glasses for a minute, two minutes, three minutes, and then said: !, got up and went to the next room, took a glass of milk and a loaf of bread over. Tom drank the milk in one breath, then raised his head and looked at the spirit restored.
>
over, What up? Lord House, through ���غɷ���, and turned over Luce Rock Wit! if not to God to direct him, where I heard such a thing? Why do you eat bread? you? child was sick. You come with me, I find a place to give you rest. If you clean, a little bit, I looked for God's sake, put you in my own bed. But you come here. ; but Tom intends to stand up, people are tired and dizzy and had to helped up by her and led away.
she took him to a hut outside the house where he slept on a pile of soft Rotary fragrant hay and an old blanket, and told him to sleep and resume tired. over an hour, so Fangliao Xue, she came to see him in another.
Then she went into the house again, Tom immediately thought that sleep would be heavy go.
but Tom did not sleep.
he was not sleeping and tossing and turning, kicking and pedaling, not a look. He feel so hot, longing to go into the river cool it. Then he half asleep and dream to hear that the white girl to his name: be innocent. . poor little guy, his life has never been to church for ah. but he was covered in soot and dirty way, people will never let him go. He should get into the river to wash. he called with his said said: lying in the straw huts, but the middle of a pasture stand, facing a road, in front of that river. his side to himself: children are sick, often they will get out of bed in his sleep, random walk in the room. Tom, too, went to pasture two legs up in his sleep. But he do not feel surprised. He went to the river edge lie down on the grass, watching the clear lime following spring, spring cleaning of the stones out one stood under the light. the water trout see a black face Tom, scared scattered and fled. Tom hand immersed in water , that the water is very cool. He said: all her clothes off, some of his clothes were torn, but these clothes were old and rotten, naturally very easy to tear. when he stretched to two sore feet in the water, and then two legs into it. he was deeper into the water, head of the church bells ring to knock survived.
church door will close, and I will not get. do not know that. Not only that, many people know what he did not know.
and he never had seen the Irish woman. this time she has not followed the back of his body, but rather walk in front of him the.
turned out that the Irish woman came to a small river in Tom, before he had entered the river is clear and cool to go. hydroplaning go with her shawl, surrounded by green plants drift to her waist, white Lotus drift to around her head, the river running from the bottom up all the fairy, with the arm carrying her to the water underneath. she is the fairy inside Cassiopeia; and probably also in many other post-fairy fairy fairy it.
released. I persuade children to leave the drain and infectious diseases, smelly pond. I stopped a woman walked into the hotel door, and the men to stop playing his wife. I do my best to help those who refuse to help themselves. I not enough to do, but do very difficult. I returned to you with a new little brother, take care of him all the way to here. happy to have laughed.
dead birds and animals of life and death lessons learned, so you do not meet him play, or talk, or let him see you; only able to protect him not hurt. This new brother to play. But they have always been very obedient.
cents then go down the river drift; her to go to a place that is her place. But all of this, of course, Tom did not see or hear. even if he see or hear, I am afraid the story would not be much different. Since Tom now hot and thirsty and thirsty, but clean and look very much like himself, so quickly dived into the cool water to go.
his drill not two minutes into the water, immediately fell asleep, and never slept ever so quiet, so carefree, so comfortable before. He dreamed this morning through the grass, the big elm and those sleeping cattle. This He can not remember anything after the.
he been able to sleep so happy, The reason is very simple, but people still do not understand this is only because those who shelter him down fairy Bale.
Some people think that there is no fairy. But this is a large world, do not have a place to let people see the fairy hiding; course; unless people find a place rival, it has a different matter. to know the world's most magical and most powerful precisely is something that no one visible. your body has life, life makes you grow, move and think, but you can not see it. Also, a steam engine, steam, steam is moving around the machine, yet you can not see it. So the world is likely to have immortal, but should that same old song: Those immortal; but only those who have a heart and kept trained on the old songs the first people to see them. Anyway, let us pretend that some of the world, is immortal. We sometimes have to pretend to look, this is not the first time, because it is the fairy tale, if not immortal, how this fairy tale written on? who kindly old lady at twelve o'clock school is scattered back to see Tom, but Tom is not on. She went to his footsteps, but the ground is very hard, not seen a footprint.
talk too much and get so old lady, and that Tom cheated on her with a string of lies, first pretended to be ill, and then slip away.
but the next day to change her views.
, then two minutes, when John Ferguson and the rest of the people to catch Tom, run out of breath, and finally lost sight of Tom, had to go back. they look very much like a group of Muji. then heard John Ferguson old nurse's words, that class of people to be more like Muji. Later, the little girl in white, Miss Alice say to all the circumstances, they went more like Muji. She said she saw only a swarthy poor child chimney sweep, crying, sobbing side, ready again to go back to the chimney. Of course, she was scared very powerful, it is no wonder. it just is. a thing of the room did not take. Since the child a pair of dirty feet in the footprints of coal can be seen in the old nurse to the child prior to the blanket did not leave the oven step. This is a misunderstanding. In this way, John Ferguson called the Green back, and promised him If he is willing to bring these children a good check against what, that does not beat him to reward his five shillings. in accordance with the idea of John Ferguson and Green, Tom always slip home. But that night, Tom Mr. Green did not return home. Green had to go to the police station, please inquire about the bureau Tom's whereabouts. but not everywhere asking. As Tom has to run through the big swamp where the valley side, then with Tom went to the moon, is that they never dreamed of.
next day, Mr. Green was a hard face to the government to Hate He Buddha. But when he arrived there, John Ferguson had to go up the mountain, and run very far away. Green had to sit next room the whole day, drink strong ale to relieve boredom. so far back before John Ferguson, his gloomy and had vanished.
original first night, John Ferguson just could not sleep in bed. He told his wife: . led to; called the groom rode their ponies; named pipe and his dog start, and the start of the start, and small groom have led to a big dog as big as Dallas. dog tied with a belt, dog stains The color is like a little bit of gravel, ears and nose of the tread pattern as the mahogany general, throat cried as loud as the bell. those who led the dog into the place of Tom fled into the woods. hounds sent a loud call sound, know all the things it told them.
followed them to the dogs again that Tom climbed the wall. They tear down a wall, all cross in the past. bird dogs and took them smart of those in the moor, step by step, very slowly, because, you know, Tom, the smell after a day of time, and then a steaming sun the sun has not heard obtained. but also old John Ferguson His eye is really a ghost, he got up at five o'clock is for this reason ah. finally the dog went to the top of Luce Kuwait rocks, more than barking at the top and face toward you look, it would mean to say: ; I tell you that he go from here!
his big hand on a shot in the thigh, said: , ride to live in the courtyard side of Tom, Tom the Hate He informed the government to the little Buddha is his groom. He said: trip. The child is very polite speech, the children in the chimney sweep inside, could not find a second. pretty little dress groom, to the rocks below, but becomes a tattered clothes, a beggar. had he torn leggings, and the breeches are torn down and put on the gown is also torn, the strap also brake the bands of the , the shoes have stretched broken. the hat was lost, even worse, a pin on the shirt is also lost. pins are gold, very little has been cherishing the groom root pins, so for him to say is indeed a very serious loss, but according to Tom still can not find everywhere.
this time, John Ferguson and the rest of the people have been riding over the pocket. They first ran for almost three miles on the right, and then came back , who entered the valley, and reach under rocks.
when they went to school the old lady, children ran out to see them all. The old lady came out. She saw John Ferguson, a deep line of my eyes ceremony, she is a tenant of John Ferguson.
; she said, > a lost child, a chimney sweep. He escaped from me there. whereabouts tell you that you can not but hurt the poor child do? out. dog his trail has been traced Luce Kuwait rocks, the following hh ah, poor baby! teeth do not speak. the dog looking up at once. It went to the cottage behind, through the road, across the grass, but also through a small cluster of Alnus. plexus in the alder tree alder-off over there strains of the above, they saw Tom's clothes lying. This way they all understand.
so Tom do?
ah, now that Tom's adventures inside the most surprising part. Tom woke up (he of course To wake up, because the children get enough sleep, the always wake up), found himself swimming in the river, the body only four inches long, or more accurately, �Ŷ� only 3.87 inches long, And in his throat part of the parotid glands on both sides of a Foreign fin long (I hope you know how these specific terms), like a blood-sucking leeches as two gills. Tom done as it is lace collar, until he pulled feel pain when the decision was part of his body, so best not to touch.
In fact, those daffodils have already made him become a water baby.
However, John Ferguson, the management of the garden, groom and so it while on a big. they saw the water inside a black thing, said it was Tom's body, he has drowned, one can not tell the bad. they are completely wrong, Tom, alive and well, and never not as clean as ever, happy too. those fairy, you know, in the fast-flowing water washed him very clean, not only to Tom dirty body wash, and even his internal organs also washed out. In this way, the real Tom wash from the inside out, and swam away. He was like that as mayfly larvae, first with stones and made a silk cocoon, and then drill a hole in the cocoon that he drilled out, upturned faces swim to river, the river split earn their own shell, to become a mayfly, four brown wings, long legs long legs. ephemera are some stupid people open the door at night, they sprang at once to the candle. Tom sit safely now full of ash off his old shell, and we hope he Ephemera smarter than children.
John Ferguson, but not biology as a member of these reasons he does not know, thought that Tom had drowned. when they search on Tom shell pockets and found neither pocket jewelry, no money, no nothing, only three marbles, and a copper button, above a line tied. This to John Ferguson may be funny to cry, cry never been so hurt.
by him the cry, little groom was crying, people who control the hounds cry, the old lady was crying, the old nurse was crying ( this thing is much to blame her), Mrs. Ferguson was crying. But that control the garden, though his head one morning to Tom so gentle, but did not cry out, because he went after the poaching of people have too exhausted to recover , to tear him out just like a piece of leather just like the never expect to squeeze out the milk. Green also did not cry, John Ferguson gave him ten pounds, and he brought in a whole week to drink finish all.
John Ferguson then sent around to find the parents of Tom, but he probably wait until the end of the world still can not find. That little girl will have a full week refused to play with her doll, because the heart never forget Tom . In the valley of the little cemetery where, in many limestone between the valley of those who are one by one the old residents buried there, and soon, Mrs. Ferguson will also be buried in this place where Tom shell creation of a beautiful small tombstone. that old lady on Sunday to give this tombstone hung wreaths, until she too old to go out only by those who put up for her children. And when she sat weaving the so-called dress her, she always is singing a very old song. All the kids do not know; though do not know, but still like it, because the song was beautiful, and very sad; it on the line for children. the song that says:
When the world is still very young, children,
and all the trees are all green,
when only waterbirds are swans,
when the girls all the Queen,
then get on your horse, children,
to go surf around the world;
Young blood must flow,
like a dog must be slipped out.
as the world grows old, boy,
and all the trees yellow,
when all games have become boring,
when all wheels are of no use,
then crawl back home to find a corner,
added that a group of aging; < br> God allow you to find a face,
is your young loved that. The voice and the kind of soft when she sings the classic tune, unfortunately can not shape the sound of various ink. finally the old lady became completely walk, angels can do nothing but to put her away: they put the old lady her dress, carrying her fly , and fly farther to go; where Google has a new teacher again.
this period of time, Tom will always be in the river Swimming with the neck with a lace collar like fish gills, very good-looking, like a small eel, as lively, and like a salmon as clean as new-born.
If you do not like my story, now it can be to the classroom to go to learn your multiplication tables, see if you would prefer something like that. No doubt some people will. Some people like it, some people do not like it. That is, according to them, building a world rules.
