Degree felt more and more uncomfortable, and he kept his mouth shut.Either way, he wished he could refrain from crying or doing something ridiculous."
Son of Adam," said Aslan, "you have made an unforgivable mistake against my wonderful kingdom of Narnia on the first day of its birth, and are you prepared to make amends?"
"I don't know what I can do," said Diggray, "and the wicked witch doesn't know where to go," and the lion interrupted him, saying, "I ask if you are going to do something" "Yes." ”Digray replied.For a moment, a thought even crossed his mind to say to the lion, "If you can cure my mother's illness, I will do everything in my power to help you." ”However, he immediately realized that he could not negotiate terms with the lion.However, when he replied "yes", he still thought about his mother, thinking that all the thoughts and wishes he had had were now gone, he choked up, his throat seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton, and said with tears in his eyes: "But, I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm sorry, do you want you to cure my mother's illness" He had been keeping his head down, his eyes staring at the lion's thick front legs and two huge paws, and now, his heart was full of despair, and he mustered up the courage to look up at the lion's face.To his surprise, he saw a scene that surprised him, and the lion's tawny face was lowered and approached him, with large crystalline tears shining in his eyes.Compared to Digre's, the lion's teardrops seemed so big and so bright.Suddenly, Dugray felt that the lion seemed to be able to understand his mother's illness more truly than he did, and sympathize with her deeply."
My child," Aslan began, "I know all about what you say, and it is indeed a misfortune.I think that in this land, only you and I can understand this, so we have to live in harmony and understand and be considerate of each other.However, you must know that for the sake of Narnia's survival, I must be prepared for the long term that will last for hundreds of years.The wicked creature you brought into this world with the witch, she'll come back, but not necessarily so soon.I want to plant a tree on the soil of Narnia, a tree that she does not dare to approach, and that tree will defend Narnia and save it from her for many years.Before the sun is obscured by dark clouds, there will be a long, bright morning in this land.And you must go and get that precious tree seed for me. ”"Yes, Your Excellency."
Dugray replied that although he didn't know exactly how to do it, he always felt that he could do it.Aslan the lion let out a long sigh of relief, and he lowered his head and kissed Digray in a lion fashion.Immediately, Digray felt a new strength and bold courage in his body."
My dear child," said Aslan, "let me tell you in detail how to do it.Now, look back and tell me what is in the West" "I saw the mountains, Aslan," said Diggray, "and I saw a river jumping down the cliff and forming a beautiful waterfall.Behind the cliffs, there are dense forests, which grow on high mountain slopes.Further back, there are even taller mountains in the dark.Further afield, in the distance, there are rolling snow-capped mountains, just like the majestic Alps in the photo.Behind the snow-capped mountains is the vast sky, and if you go farther away, you can't see anything. ”"Yes, you look very carefully, and you know it very well," said the lion, "that the waterfall is the border of the kingdom of Narnia.Once you're on the cliffs, you're out of the kingdom of Narnia and into the primordial region of the West.What you have to do is: cross those high mountains and find a green river valley surrounded by icebergs, and there, find a blue lake; At the end of the lake, you will see a green steep hill.Climb to the top of the hill where there is a beautiful garden with a tree in the center.You have to pluck an apple from the tree and bring it back. ”"Yes, Your Excellency."
Digray replied.In fact, he had no idea how to climb the mountains and cliffs, but he was reluctant to open his mouth lest others think he was making excuses.Then he continued: "Aslan, I hope you are not in such a hurry, for it is impossible for me to make a round trip for such a long distance. ”"Oh, Adam's son, you're going to be helped."
With that, Aslan turned to the horse, "Strawberry".It stood quietly all the time, flicking its tail east and west to ward off the flies that landed on it, while tilting its head to listen to their conversation.It doesn't seem to understand everything that everyone is saying.Aslan said to the horse, "Will you be a flying horse?"
If you had been there, you would have seen the horse's mane fluttering, its hind hooves gently stepping on the ground, and its nostrils wide open with excitement.Obviously, it really wanted to be a Pegasus, but instead of getting carried away with excitement, it said very calmly: "If this is what you want, Aslan If you really want to turn me into a Pegasus, I don't understand why I was chosen, because I'm not very smart." ”"Grow beautiful wings and become the father of Pegasus," Aslan roared, a deafening and earth-shattering roar, "From now on, Frankie is your name." ”The horse was taken aback and couldn't help but take a step backwards.In its miserable days of pulling coolies, it had never been so frightened as it was today.It straightened its hind legs, lifted its front hooves, stood up, and twisted its neck back as if trying to catch a fly biting its shoulder.Then, like the animals that had previously sprung out of the ground, a pair of wings emerged from Frankie's shoulders, and they grew wider and larger than the wings of an eagle, the wings of a swan, and the wings of a pure angel in the church window.The newly grown wings were maroon and copper, and Frankie unfurled them violently, and at once burst into the air, snorting, hissing and leaping, flying more than twenty feet above Aslan and Degree's heads.After flying around their heads, it landed, and from the way it landed, it still looked a little unskilled, even surprised, but jubilant."
How's that, Frankie," Aslan said."
Great, Aslan."
Frankie replied."
Would you like to let this Adam's son ride on your back and take him to the valley of which I am mentioned?"
Now, we have to call it that."
Come on, boy, I used to carry things like yours, ah, it was a long time ago, and there were green fields and sugar cubes.""
Two Eve daughters, are you whispering" Aslan suddenly turned to Polly and the coachman's wife.By this time, the two had become friends."
Ah, sir, it is so," said Leyry, the wife of Queen Helen's coachman, as she now called, "that this little girl is more than willing to go with them, if it is convenient." ”"Frankie, do you have any opinions?"
asked the lion."
Oh, it's not a problem to carry two children," said Frankie, "but I hope the elephants don't come up." ”The elephants didn't have the slightest idea of going.The coachman, the new king of Narnia, carried the two children on his horseback.For Diggre, he unceremoniously slammed it down, and for Polly, he held her up like a fragile piece of porcelain, carefully and lightly."
Listen, Strawberry, I should call you Frankie, the kids are seated, it's not going to be easy.""
Don't fly too high," Aslan said, "and those tall icebergs can't fly."
Once you've crossed the valley greenery, you're sure to find the right path.I wish you all a safe journey. ”"Oh my God, my Frankie," said Diggray, who was sitting on horseback, bending down and patting Frankie's furry neck lightly, "and this is so much fun."
Polly, you're going to hold on to me. ”Soon, the kingdom of Narnia was left far behind by them.Frankie circled in the air like a dove, as if the whole earth was spinning with it.Finally, Frankie headed west and began a long flight.Polly looked down and found that she could no longer see the king and queen, and even Aslan had turned into a yellow speck in the green grass.As they flew through the air, the wind whistled in their faces.Frankie's wings flapped rhythmically.The entire kingdom of Narnia was beneath their feet, the land was colourful with meadows, rocks, heather, and trees of all kinds, and the river meandered like a ribbon of mercury.To the right and to the north, on the other side of the hill, was a swamp that rose slowly, diagonally, to the horizon.To the left, the mountains are much higher, and from time to time you can see a canyon.Looking over the canyon, there are tall pine forests, and you can glimpse the blue land of the south stretching into the distance."
I guess that's Achinlan."
Polly said."
Yes, you look ahead," Dugray said.Before their eyes appeared a barrier erected by the cliffs, and the golden sunlight on the waterfall was constantly shining brightly.The river from the highlands to the west splashed and roared into the territory of Narnia.Degree had already flown to a great height, and the thunderous sound of the waterfall in their ears had become very soft.Despite this, at the altitude at which they flew, it was impossible to get over the cliffs."
Kids, we're going to do a zigzag here, hold on to me," and it began to circle back and forth, flying higher each time.The higher the altitude, the colder the air became, and a burst of eagle cries came from under their feet."
Hey, look at the back," Polly said.They saw the kingdom of Narnia stretching eastward to the end of the horizon, where the ocean was glittering.Now, they could see the jagged mountains hugging behind the northern marshes, small because of their distance.And in the far south, a sandy plain is trying to stretch forward."
I wish someone could tell us what it is."
Diggray said."
Maybe it's not a special place," Polly said, "you know, there's probably no one there at all, and nothing has happened, because the world has only just begun today." ”"Somebody's going to go there," Dugray said, "and then there's going to be history, you know." ”"Thankfully," Polly said, "there isn't anybody, because no one wants to learn and memorize things like wars, all sorts of special dates, and some useless nonsense." ”By this time, they had already flown up the cliff.A few minutes later, the Narnia Valley disappeared from their view.They flew along the river, over a wild land, with steep slopes and endless forests below.Ahead, majestic mountains loom in the background.The golden sunlight shone directly in front of them, so that they could not see the scene in front of them.The sun was setting, and the western sky was like a vast melting pot, full of gold about to melt.Finally, the sunset sinks behind the jagged peaks, and the mountains lose their glorious backdrop, as if they were cut out of a piece of paper, losing their three-dimensional effect."
It's a little cold in here."
Polly said."
My wings are starting to ache," said Franche, "but I can't see the valley with the lake that Aslan speaks of."
Let's land on the ground first, and then find a comfortable place to rest, anyway, we won't be able to reach our destination tonight. ”"Okay, now it's about time for dinner," Digray said.Frankie flew lower and lower, and by the time they descended over a hill very close to the ground, the weather had become warmer.They couldn't hear anything during the long flight before, except for the flapping of Frankie's wings.And now, once again all sorts of cordial voices from the ground, what a delightful thing it was, the water of the river murmuring, and the breeze gently blowing through the trees.Under the scorching sun, the earth, grass and flowers have a warm scent, and the refreshing aroma comes to the face.Finally, Frankie landed on the ground.Dugray jumped off the horse and helped Polly dismount.Both of them happily stretched their already stiff legs.The valley they landed in happened to be in the middle of the mountains, flanked by tall and majestic snow-capped mountains, one of which seemed to be plated with a layer of rose red in the setting sun."
I'm hungry."
Diggray said."
Come on, boys, let's have a good meal."
Frankie said as he took a big bite of the fat grass.It raised its head and chewed sweetly, with a few sticks of grass hanging out of the corners of its mouth, like whiskers."
You two hurry up and eat, don't be shy, there's enough grass here for the three of us to fill our stomachs.""
We don't eat grass."
Diggray said."
Uh-huh," said Frankie, whose mouth was full of grass, and he munched on it, "I don't know what you're going to do, what a delicious grass it is." ”Polly and Diggray looked at each other, looking dejected."
I think someone must have arranged dinner for us."
Diggray said."

I suppose if you plead with Aslan, it will help us.""
If you don't plead with it, wouldn't anyone think we need to eat," Polly said."
Of course it will," said the horse, its mouth still stuffed with grass, "but I think it likes to be asked for." ”"So, what are we going to do now?"
asked Digray."
I don't know," said Frankie, "why don't you try to eat some grass, it might taste better than you think." ”"Well, don't say such stupid things," Polly stomped her foot anxiously, "we are human beings, and of course people don't eat grass, just as you horses don't eat lamb chops." ”"Ah, for God's sake, don't mention any lamb chops in my ear.""
It just makes me feel worse." ”He said that it would be best for Polly to use the ring to go home once so that he could get something to eat, and that he could not leave the place himself, for he had promised Aslan to complete the task of collecting the seeds.If he ventured back home, it would be troublesome if something unexpected happened that made it difficult for him to return.But Polly replied that she would not leave him and leave him here alone.Digray said she was wonderful."
Ah," said Polly, "I remember, I still have some toffee in my pocket, which is better than no food at all." ”"Great," said Diggray, "but be careful not to touch the ring when reaching for the candy. ”It was a very tricky thing to do, and it could have messed things up if you weren't careful, but in the end they succeeded.The small paper bag containing the toffee is soft, wet, and slimy, so it is much more difficult to tear the sugar off the paper bag than it is to take it out of the pocket.Some adults would rather go hungry than eat toffee, and you know, they make a fuss when they encounter this toffee sticking to a paper bag.Polly had a total of nine pieces of candy in her pocket.Dugray came up with the idea of eating four pieces of candy each, and then planting the remaining ninth candy in the ground.His reason was as follows: "In this land, the iron rod on the lamppost can grow into a small lamppost, so why can't this candy grow into a tall toffee tree" So they dug a small hole in the grass and buried the toffee.When they were done, they began to eat the remaining eight candies slowly, and they ate them very slowly, so that they could savor them for longer.It was a terrible dinner, with candy sticking all over it, but even then they had to eat it.After dinner, a tired Frankie lay down to rest, while the children sat on either side of it, leaning against its warm body.It spreads its wings and wraps them up, which makes it warmer and more comfortable.When the bright and young stars of the new world rose, they chatted.They talked about how Diggray wanted to get something for his mother's illness, and how he was reluctantly sent on this difficult task.They also repeatedly mentioned the characteristics of the place they were looking for, with a blue lake and a garden on top of the hill.Chatting and chatting, drowsiness hit, and the conversation slowly stopped.Suddenly, however, Polly woke up, sat up at once, and said, "Shhhhh"I guess it's the sound of the wind blowing through the trees."
After listening for a moment, Dugray said."
I'm not sure," said Francie, "but, anyway, wait a minute, there's something to say by Aslan." ”Pegasus jerked up, made a loud noise, and crawled to his feet.The children have already gotten up and stood up.Frankie trotted back and forth, left and right, sniffing around with his head down, and let out a low hissing from his mouth.Diggray and Polly also crept cautiously and tiptoeing over every bush and tree in the vicinity.They think they're seeing something.At one point, Polly said with great certainty, a tall black shadow slipped away quickly towards the west.However, they ended up finding nothing.Later, Frankie lay down again, and the children snuggled up to the wings of Pegasus, if the word could be used, and fell asleep peacefully.For a long time, Frankie remained awake, moving its ears alertly back and forth in the dark, and at times, its skin shuddered slightly, as if a fly had landed on it.Finally, it also fell asleep.t1706231537:
