In the last days of Narnia, far west beyond the lamppost wilderness, near the edge of the Great Falls, lived an ape.It's so old that no one can remember when it first came to live in the area.It's the smartest, ugliest, and most wrinkled ape you can imagine.It had a small house, made of wood, with a roof made of leaves, built on the branches of a large tree, and its name was treacherous.In the woods of that area, there were only a handful of talking beasts, humans, dwarfs, or people of any other race.But the treacherous one of its friends, and at the same time his neighbor, was a donkey called Bewitched.At least both of them claim to be friends with each other, but as the state continues to develop, you might think that delusion is more of a treacherous servant than a friend.All the work has to be done by deception.When they went to the river together, they filled the big skin bag with water, but it was confusion that brought the skin back.If they need to go to the towns downstream of the river to buy something, they always have to carry an empty basket to the town, and when they come back, they always have to carry it back with a full and heavy basket.But all the delicacies that Delusion had brought back were eaten by Tricky, for the reason that Tricky said, "Look, Delusion, I can't eat grass and thistles like you, so I should make up for it in other ways, and that's fair." ”And at this time, Confused always nodded and agreed: "Of course, treacherous, of course."
I know that. ”Bewitchment never complained, for it knew that Treachery was far smarter than it was, and it thought it was a great honor for Treachery to treat him as a friend.If Delusion had tried to argue with it about something, Treachery would always say, "Well, Delusion, I know what needs to be done, and I know more about it than you do."
Confused, you always know that you are not smart. ”Then, too, the delusional always replied obediently, "That's right, treacherous."
That's true, I'm not very smart. ”Then it will sigh.Then, whatever the treacherous tells it to do, it will do it.One morning at the beginning of the year, the two best friends went out and they walked along the shore of the cauldron abyss.The Cauldron Abyss, located beneath a cliff at the western end of Narnia, is a very large pool.The waterfall continues to make a thunderous rumble, rushing down the cliff and pouring into the abyss, while the Narnia River flows slowly from the other side.The rushing waterfall always makes the water in the abyss constantly tumble, bubble, and churn around, like a pool of boiling water.Hence the name of the cauldron abyss.The Cauldron Abyss is at its most vibrant in early spring when melting snow and ice make the waterfall abundant, as the snow melts from the mountains outside of the Wild West of Narnia, where the River Narnia originates.Just as they were staring at the cauldron abyss, the strange suddenly pointed somewhere with its black and shiny point, and said, "Look, what is that?"
and "What is it?"
asked in confusion."
Yellow stuff that just got washed down by a waterfall.Look at it again, floating on the water.We've got to figure out what the hell that is. ”Said treacherously with interest."
Do we have to go," Confused whispered."
Of course, we have to go.""
Maybe it's something useful, you just have to jump into the abyss like a good companion and fish it up."
That way, we can take a good look at the thing. ”"You're going to have to jump into the abyss," asked Confused reluctantly, fanning its long ears."
If you won't jump in, then how can we get it?"
said the treacherous."
But," said Confusion in a low whisper, "wouldn't it be better if you jumped in, because, you know, you want to know what that thing is, and I'm not interested."
Besides, you have hands, you know.When it's time to grab something, you can be as good as a human or a dwarf.But I only have clumsy hooves. ”"Actually, bewildered," said Tricky, with a look of distress, "I never thought you would say such a thing.Really, I didn't expect you to say something like that. ”"Oh, did I say something wrong," Misty asked in a low voice, for it could tell that Tricky was very angry about it, "I just meant it," "just wanted me to jump into the abyss," Tricky said, "as if you were completely unaware that our apes' ribcages are always weak, and how easily we catch colds, and that I'll jump in."
In the current excruciating wind, I already feel cold enough.But I'll go in, even if I might die because of it.At that point, you'll feel guilty. ”It sounded like he was about to cry bitterly."
Please don't do this, please don't do this, please don't do this."
Confused, half donkey barking and half human words, he hurriedly comforted, "I definitely didn't mean that, weird, I really never thought of it that way."
You know what a stupid guy I am, I simply can't think about more than one thing at the same time.I've forgotten your weak chest.Of course, I'll go in.Don't even think about going down in person.Treacherous, promise me you won't go down. ”In this way, the treacherous agreed to it.At the same time, the bewildered four hooves began to walk around the edge of the stone of the abyss, trying to find a place where it could go into the water.Aside from the chill, it was not as simple as a joke to enter the trembling, foaming pool, and I stood there trembling for a full minute, and I had not yet made up my mind to jump in.At this moment, the treacherous cried out behind it: "Bewildered, maybe it's better for me to do this." ”When Confused heard it say this, he quickly responded: "No, no, you promised me."
Now I'm going in," and then it jumped into the water.A large amount of foam poured into the bewildered face, foam and water filled its mouth, and for a moment, the vision became blurred.Then it sank for a few seconds, and when it emerged from the water again, it was already in another part of the abyss.Immediately afterward, a whirlpool swept it around and around it, spinning faster and faster, until it swept straight below the waterfall, and the strong current forced it to sink directly into the water, sinking deeply.I was so confused that I felt like I couldn't breathe until I resurfaced.When the confusion surfaced again, it finally came to the vicinity of the thing.When it tried to grab it, the thing always floated away from it, and then it floated under the waterfall and sank to the bottom.When the thing surfaced again, it was even farther away from the confusion than before.But eventually, when Delusion felt like it was dying of exhaustion, scarred and almost frozen, it managed to bite the thing down with its teeth.Then it fluttered out of the water, put the thing in front of it, stuck its front hooves into it, and carried it up as best it could.Because it was as big as a carpet in front of the hearth, and it was not only heavy, but also cold and slippery.Bewilderment threw the thing in front of the treacherous man, and then stood there, cold water dripping down its body, and it shivered from the cold, gasping for breath, trying to adjust its breathing.But the ape didn't even look at it, and didn't ask how it felt.The ape scrambled around the thing, unfolding and slapping it, then leaning in and smelling it.Immediately, a sinister, evil glimmer flashed in its eyes, and it said, "This is a lion's skin. ”"Ooh, oh, is that so," said Confused, panting."
Now, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking," the strange muttered to himself, meditating."
I'm wondering who killed the poor lion," Confusion quickly continued, "it should be buried, and we must have a funeral for it." ”"Oh, this is not a talking lion," said the treacherous, "and you don't have to trouble yourself in this matter.In the western wilderness, there are no talking beasts beyond the Great Falls.So this skin must have belonged to a wild lion that couldn't speak. ”On this matter, by the way, the treacherous thing is indeed true.A hunter, a human man, had killed the lion somewhere in the Wild West a few months earlier and skinned it.But this matter has nothing to do with this story."
It's all the same, treacherous," said Bewitched, "even if this skin belongs to a wild lion that can't speak, shouldn't we have a decent funeral for it, I mean, aren't all lions quite well, quite solemn, very serious, do you know who this is, don't you understand this?"
Come, let's make this leather into a beautiful and warm winter coat for you to wear. ”"Oh, I don't think I'd like that," Confused refused, "and I seem to mean that the other beasts might think that mean, I don't think" "What are you talking about?"
said the slywful, scratching his hand at himself as he spoke, as an ape used to do."
I think that would be a great disrespect to the great lion king Aslan, if a donkey like me was dressed in a lion's skin."
Confused said."
Please don't stand there and make up your own minds," said the treacherous, "how much can a donkey like you know about that kind of thing, you know that your own mind is not good, confused, so why don't you let me think for you, why can't you treat me the way I do to you, I don't think I'm up to everything, I know you can do some things better than I do."
That's why I'm going to let you into the abyss.But when faced with something I can do that you can't, why can't it be my turn to call the shots, isn't I always allowed to do anything, please be fair, we have to take our turns. ”"Oh, well, of course, if you say so."
Confused replied."
I'll tell you how," said the treacherous, "you'd better trot down to Chibingford and see if there are oranges and bananas there." ”"But I'm so tired, treacherous."
Bewildered pleaded."
Yes, but you're cold and wet," said Tricky, "and you'll have to do something to warm your body, and a brisk trot is perfect for you, and besides, it's Chilbinford's market day," so the bewilderment would have to say that it would be glad to go.When he was left alone, he shuffled and staggered, sometimes on both feet, sometimes on all fours, and staggered to the foot of his own tree.Then it kept swinging from branch to branch, chirping and grinning.At last he went into his hut and turned out the needle, thread, and a large pair of scissors: he was indeed a rather intelligent ape, and the dwarf had taught him how to sew clothes.It held the ball of thread very thick, more like a string than a thread in its mouth, so that its cheeks bulged out as if it had taken a big sip of coffee.It bit a needle between its lips and carried a large pair of scissors in its left paw, and then climbed down from the tree and staggered towards the lionskin.It sat down on the ground and began to get busy.It immediately realized that the body part of the lion skin would be too long if it was used on the body of the Confusion, and the neck part would be too short.So it cut a large piece from the extra part of its body and sewed a long collar for the bewildered long neck.Then it cut off the skin of the lion's head and sewed the long collar between the head and the shoulders.It sews the inner and outer sides of the lion's skin with thread so that the coat can tightly wrap the bewildered chest and belly.Every now and then, whenever a bird flies over its head, the treacherous will stop what it is doing and look up.It didn't want anyone to know what it was up to.It was greatly relieved to find that the birds, all of which were non-talking, were out of the way.Towards evening, the confusion returned.It did not trot all the way back, but walked back slowly with heavy steps, which is the way the donkeys walked."
There's no orange there," it said, with a tired face, "and there's not a single banana left."
Also, I'm really tired. ”It lay down."
Come and try on your beautiful lion's fur coat."
Strange called from the side."
Oh, disturbing old skin," said Confused and listless, "I'll try it to-morrow morning, I'm too tired to-night." ”"Confused, you are so unkind," said the treacherous, "if you are tired, then have you thought about it for me, and I have been toiling here to sew your coat for you all day as you walk down the valley at a leisurely pace, refreshed and happy.My paws are so tired that I can barely hold the scissors, and you don't even have a word of thanks, and you don't even bother to look at this coat, and you don't even care, and" "My dear treacherous," Confused immediately stood up, "I'm so sorry.I'm so rough and so annoying.Of course, I'm more than happy to try it on, and it looks fantastic.Please help me try it on right away, please help me put it on. ”"Well, then just stand there quietly and don't move."
Said treacherously.The skin was so heavy for it that it could barely lift it, but at last it finally put the coat over the donkey, after some tugging, pushing, and panting.It ties a fur coat to the body of the donkey, the skin of the lion's leg to the donkey's leg, and the skin of the lion's tail to the donkey's tail.Through the open mouth on the lion's scalp, you can see most of the donkey's gray nose and most of its face.Anyone who has actually seen a lion will find out the truth if he pays a little attention, but if he has never seen a lion, he may think that he is a lion if he sees the delusion in lion's skin, provided of course that it is not too close, and the light is not so sufficient, and the delusion does not make the sound of a donkey, let alone make any movement with its hooves."
You look wonderful, it's wonderful," said the treacherous, "if anyone saw you now, they would think you were Aslan, the great lion king." ”"That's just too bad."
Confused said."
No, no," said the treacherous, "in that case, everybody will do what you tell them to do." ”"But I don't want to tell them to do anything."
Confused said."
But think about the good things we can do," said the treacherous, "you know, you and me, and I'll give you advice."
I will come up with reasonable orders for you to give them, so that everyone will have to obey us, not even the king himself.We can arrange and manage everything in Narnia. ”"Isn't everything good enough now?"

said Confused."
What are you talking about," cried the treacherous, "it's good enough when you don't even have an orange or a banana," "well, you know," said Confused, "not many people actually want to eat anything like that but you." ”"And sugar."
Said treacherously."
Well, yes," said Confused, "if only there was more sugar." ”"Well, then," said the treacherous, "you pretend to be Aslan, and I'll tell you what to say." ”"No, no, no," said the delusion, "don't say such a terrible thing.That's not right.Maybe I'm not very smart, but I know it.Think about it, what will happen to us once the real Aslan arrives in Narnia" "I guess it will be very happy," said the treacherous, "it may well have been its idea, to give us this lion's skin, so that we can get things in order and call the shots."
In any case, it is unlikely to be, you know, in this day and age. ”At this moment, a shocking thunderclap sounded above their heads, causing a small earthquake that shook the entire earth, and both animals lost their balance and fell face down to the ground."
Look," gasped in confusion, and as soon as it came to its senses, it hastened to say, "It's a sign, a warning.I know we're doing something very horrible, evil.Hurry up and take this uncomfortable leather coat off my body. ”"No, it's not."
Strange said that its mind was spinning quickly, "It's another sign."
I was about to say that if the real Aslan you spoke of wanted us to behave in this way, it would send us a thunderbolt or make the ground shake or something.The words had just reached the tip of my tongue, but before I could say them, it gave me a foreshadowing sign.Confused, now you can do it in peace.Okay, let's stop arguing.You know you can't know these things yourself, how can a donkey know what the signs are" t1706231537:
