My friend smiled gently and indulgently. "You see yourself," he said, "that this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns." So then I did my drawing over once more. But it was rejected too, just like the others. "This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time." By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart. So I tossed off this drawing. And I threw out an explanation with it. "This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside."
我的這位朋友天真可愛(ài)地笑了,并且客氣地拒絕道:“你看,你畫的不是小羊,是頭公羊,還有犄角呢?!? 于是我又重新畫了一張。 這副畫同前幾副一樣又被拒絕了。 “這一只太老了。我想要一只能活得長(zhǎng)的羊?!? 我不耐煩了。因?yàn)槲壹庇谝獧z修發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī),于是就草草畫了這張畫,并且匆匆 地對(duì)他說(shuō)道: “這是一只箱子,你要的羊就在里面。”
