This is, of course, the voice of a lion.The children had long thought that the lion could speak, but when it did speak, they were still surprised with excitement.The primitive savages came out from behind the trees, and there were the god of trees, the god of animal husbandry, the god of the forest, and the dwarfs; The river god and his fairy daughters came out of the river.They and all the beasts and birds answered in a voice high or low, thick or clear: "Yes, Aslan, we hear you."
We obey you.We woke up.We love, we think, we speak, we understand. ”"But we still don't quite understand."
A nasal voice said.The children were so surprised that they almost jumped because it was the horse that was pulling the cart who was talking."
Well done, old strawberry, I'm glad it was chosen as a talking beast."
Polly said."
It makes me so happy, but I've always said that this horse is very spiritual."
Said the coachman who was standing beside the children."
Animals, I have given you over to yourselves," Aslan said in a cheerful and powerful voice, "I have given you the land of Narnia forever.I give you trees, fruits, and rivers, and I give you stars, and I give myself.The dumb beasts that I have not chosen are also yours, and be kind to them and cherish them, but do not return to them, for you will become beasts that no longer speak.Because you have chosen from among them, and when you return to them you will be like them, so do not go back. ”"No, we're not going back, Aslan."
The animals replied in unison.But a reckless jackdaw added in a loud voice: "Absolutely not" because it was said after the animals had finished speaking, so its voice was unusually clear in the silence.At a party, you may know it's terrible.The jackdaw was very embarrassed and shyly buried his head in his wings, as if he were sleeping.Seeing this, the other animals began to laugh in various ways.Never before in our world has we heard such a voice.At first, the animals tried to hold back, but Aslan said, "Don't be afraid, animals, laugh as much as you like, since you are no longer dull and dumb, you should not always be silent."
Because with language, there will be justice, and of course there will be jokes. ”And so, the animals laughed unrestrainedly.In this pleasant atmosphere, the jackdaw plucked up his courage again, jumped on the head of the horse pulling the cart, stood between the horse's ears, flapped his wings and said: "Aslan Aslan I made the first joke, right, will everyone know how I made the first joke in the future" "No, little friend, you didn't make the first joke, you became the first laughing stock." ”The lion said.The other animals laughed even harder than they were.But the jackdaw didn't care at all, and laughed with everyone, until the horse shook his head, and it was unsteady on its feet and fell, but it remembered its wings before it landed, and flew up "Now, the kingdom of Narnia is born." ”"Next, we're going to try to keep it safe."
I'm going to pick a few of you to make up my team.Come here, leader of the dwarves.You river god, you oak god and male owl, and you two ravens and male elephants.We have to talk about it together.Although this world has been established for less than five hours, a demon has already entered. ”The animal it had chosen stepped forward and followed it eastward.The rest began to discuss: "What does it say has entered our world, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it?"
What the hell is it" "Oh, I've got to go with Aslan, it's the lion.I have to talk to it. ”Diggray said to Polly."
I'm scared, do you think we can go along," Polly said."
For Mom's sake, I have to go.There must be something in it that could cure her. ”Diggray said."
Then I'll go with you," said the coachman, "and I like the way it looks."
I want to say a word to Old Strawberry.I don't expect any other animals to invite us. ”The three of them boldly walked towards the fauna, or rather, with courage.The animals were busy talking and befriending each other until the three men got very close and they were spotted.Of course, they didn't hear Uncle Andrew's voice.He was trembling in his tightly buttoned shoes, and he stood at a distance and shouted, but without exerting all his strength: "Come back, Dugray listen to me, come back immediately, I will not allow you to go one step further." ”When they finally walked among the animals, they all stopped talking and looked at them."
Ah, what are these in Aslan's name," said the male beaver at last."
I'm sorry."
Dugray was a little nervous, and was about to say something short, when a rabbit answered, "I think they're a kind of big lettuce." ”"No, we're not, really aren't."
Polly hurriedly said, "We're not something to eat." ”"Ha, look, they can talk, who has ever heard of lettuce can talk," said the mole."
They may be the second laughing stock."
Jackdaw said.The panther who had been washing his face next to him hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, if it is, it's not the first one to be funny."
At least I don't see anything to laugh about. ”With that, it yawned lazily and continued to wash its face."
Oh, I'm sorry.I was in a hurry and wanted to meet the lion. ”Diggray said.The coachman was always trying to attract the eye of "Strawberry".Finally, it saw him."
Strawberry, my good friend," he said, "you know me, you don't stop there and say you don't know me," "What is that thing talking about, horse," a few voices asked."
Well," "Strawberry" said slowly, "I don't quite understand.I don't think most of us know a lot of things yet, but I feel like I've seen something like this before.I had a feeling that I had lived somewhere else, or something else.A few minutes before Aslan woke us up, everything was like a dream, all chaotic, but there were three things in the dream that resembled them. ”"Why don't you know me, it's me who brings wheat bran to you for dinner when you're not feeling well, it's me who groom your mane every day, and when you're standing in the cold, I never forget to cover you with something, you don't know me, I didn't expect you to say something like that, strawberry."
The coachman said seriously and seriously."
I remember."
Ma pondered, "Yes.Let me think, think.By the way, you used to tie a horrible black object behind me and whip me up to make me run forward.But no matter how far I ran, the black thing was always behind me, and it made a clanging sound. ”"We have to earn our money," said the coachman, "and you and I are a bitter gourd on a vine."
If you don't work, if you don't get whipped, you won't have stables and hay, you won't have bran and oats.When I can afford to buy oats, you can taste a little bit, and no one can deny that. ”"Oats," said the horse, pricking up his ears, "yes, I remember having that kind of thing."
Yes, I remember more and more.You used to sit in a position behind me, and I always ran in front, pulling you and that black thing.I know I do all the work. ”"I'll admit that in the summer you braved the heat to work while I sat in the cool place.But what about winter, good friend.You can keep myself warm all the time, and I have to sit there, my feet frozen like ice, my nose almost blown away by the wind, my hands frozen, and I can barely hold the reins. ”Said the coachman."
It was an intolerably cold country.""
Strawberry" said, "It's all hard stones, and there's no grass." ”"True, friend, so right," said the coachman, "it is an intolerable world.I used to say that those paving stones weren't good for all horses.That's London.I don't like it there as much as you do.You're a country horse, and I'm a country man.I used to sing in the church choir, I sang in my hometown, but I couldn't survive there. ”"I'm sorry, let's keep walking, okay, the lion is getting farther and farther away from us, I want to talk to it so much."
Digray chimed in."
Listen to me, Strawberry," said the coachman, "the little gentleman has something in his heart to say to the lion, that it is your Aslan.I would like to ask you to carry him to the lion, and he will thank you very much.I followed with this little girl. ”"Pack" and "Strawberry" said, "Oh, I remember."
You mean sit on my back.I remember a long time ago, there used to be a little two-legged animal like you sitting on my back.He used to give me a kind of little white cube that was very hard, and it tasted wonderful, well, sweeter than grass. ”"Oh, that's sugar."
Said the coachman."
Strawberry, please let me go up and take me to Aslan."
Dugray begged."
Yes, I don't mind," said the horse, "I don't mind carrying you once."
Come on. ”"Well done, old strawberry."
The coachman said, "Come, young man, and I'll help you." ”Dugray quickly got on Strawberry's back and he felt very comfortable as he had ridden his foal before."
Alright, Strawberry, let's go."
He said."
I don't think you have those little white squares on you," said the horse."

I'm afraid I didn't."
Diggray said."
Well, that can't be helped.""
Strawberry" said, stepping forward.At that moment a male dog sniffed very earnestly for a while, looked at it for a long time, and said, "Look, under the trees by the river, isn't there such a strange thing?"
All the animals looked over there, and saw Uncle Andrew standing straight among the azaleas, for fear of being discovered."
Let's go, go over and have a look."
A few voices said.As Strawberry ran briskly in one direction with Diggray, Polly and the coachman followed, and most of the animals roared, barked, and grunted, making all sorts of excited noises, toward Uncle Andrew.We'll have to go back and explain what happened from Uncle Andrew's point of view.He had a completely different impression of what was happening around him than the coachman and the children, because what a person sees and thinks depends largely on what he holds and what kind of person he is.Ever since the animals appeared, Uncle Andrew had been retreating towards the bushes.Of course, he also watched them carefully.It's not about being interested in what they're doing, it's about whether they're going to run for them.Like a witch, he was so practical that he didn't even notice that Aslan had chosen a pair of each animal.He only saw, or thought he saw, many dangerous beasts walking about in disorder.He had been wondering why the other animals didn't run away from the terrible giant lion.For a ridiculous reason, he missed the great moment when the beasts spoke.Before, it was still dark, and when the lion first started singing, he realized that the sound was a song.He didn't like the song very much, though, because it reminded him and felt things he didn't want to think about or feel.Later, when the sun rose, he saw a lion singing, "It's just a lion." ”He said to himself.He struggled to convince himself that it wasn't singing, and that it never did, and that it was just the roar that any lion in the zoo of our world would make."
Of course, it can't sing," he thought, "it's all my imagination, and my nerves are wrong."
Whoever hears a lion sing" The longer the lion sings, the more beautiful it becomes, the harder he tries to convince himself that what he hears is nothing but a roar.The trouble is, when you want to make yourself a little more stupid than you really are, you can often do it.Uncle Andrew was like that.Soon, all he heard was the roar of a lion in Aslan's singing.Even if he wanted to, he couldn't hear anything else.When the lion finally opened his mouth to say "Narnia wake up", he heard nothing but a roar.When the animals responded to Aslan, he heard only a muffled cry.And you can imagine how terrible it was for Uncle Andrew when they laughed.Never in his life had he heard such a horrible, cruel, murderous clamor from a hungry beast.Then, when he saw the three men walking towards the animals in the open area, he was very angry and frightened."
Fool," he said to himself, "those brutes will eat the two children along with the ring, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go home again."
How selfish this little imp is, and so are the others.If they want to lose their lives, it's their own business.But they never seemed to think about it, no one thought about it for me," and at last, when a large group of animals ran towards him, he turned and ran for his life.The air of the young world was indeed good for the old gentleman, and everyone could see that.In London, he was too old to run, but here he could have won the 100m at any England Prep School at his pace.His clothes fluttered behind him, and he looked very good.Of course, these are useless.There are quite a few animals that are very fast, and this is the first time in their lives that they are running, and they are eager to train their new muscles."
Catch up with him," they cried, "maybe he's the devil, stop him, surround him, and keep running," and in a few moments some animals overtook him, and they stood in a line to cut off his path, while the others caught up from behind and surrounded him.Whichever way he looked, he could see the terrible antlers and the massive face of the elephant towering above him; The heavy and serious bears and male boars roared behind; The black panther and leopard with grim expressions sarcastically thought so and wagged their tails and stared at him tightly.What frightened him the most was so many gaping mouths.In fact, the animals opened their mouths just to catch their breath, and he thought they were going to eat him.Uncle Andrew stood there staggering, shivering.Even when it is safest to do so, he does not like animals, and he is always afraid of them.Of course, his hatred and fear of them also had something to do with his years of experimenting on animals."
So, sir," the male dog asked in a formal, serious tone, "are you an animal, a plant, or a mineral?"
he did say these words, but only the barking of a dog was heard in Uncle Andrew's ears.t1706231537:
