“ Oh my! ” cried Mole. “ Shh, ” said Rat gently. A very strange sight appeared before them.

”天哪！”鼹鼠叫道。“嘘，”河鼠温柔地说。 一个非常奇怪的景象出现在他们面前。

It was a strange creature. He had the legs of a goat and the body of a man. The horns on his head shone in the dawn. His kind face had a soft beard.

这是一个奇怪的生物。他有山羊的腿和人的身体。 他头上的角在黎明时闪闪发光。他和善的脸上有着柔软的胡须。

“ Rat, are you still afraid?” asked Mole. “ No, ” said Rat. “ And yes. He looks as strong as a thunderstorm. ” “ But as gentle as a summer breeze, ” said Mole.

”老鼠，你还害怕吗？”鼹鼠问。“不，”老鼠说。 ”是的。他看起来像雷雨一样强壮。”“但就像夏日的微风一样轻柔，”鼹鼠说。

“ Look, ” said Rat. “ He is holding pipes. ” “ The music! ” said Mole quietly. The kind face smiled at them.

”瞧，”老鼠说。“他拿着烟斗。”“音乐！”鼹鼠平静地说。 善良的脸对他们微笑。

“ I think, ” said Rat, “ he is a friend. ” The dawn glowed, and a warm breeze touched them. Then the two animals were alone. For a moment they felt very sad.

“我想，”河鼠说，“他是一个朋友。”黎明时分，和煦的微风拂过他们。 然后两只动物独自一人。有一刻，它们感到非常难过。
