壞郵差 泰戈爾作品
親愛的媽媽,跟我說說,您為什麼如此安靜沈默地坐在地上?
雨從開著的窗子打進來,您都淋濕了,卻似乎不在意。
您聽到鐘聲敲四下了嗎?該是哥哥放學回家的時候了。
到底發生了什麼事?您的神色看起來好奇怪。
您今天沒收到爸爸的信嗎?
我看見郵差的袋裡裝滿了信,幾乎鎮上每個人都收到信了。
只有爸爸的信,被他留下來自己看了。
我可以確定那郵差是個壞人。
但別因此而傷心呀,親愛的媽媽。
明天是隔壁村落的市集日,您可以請女傭去幫您買些筆和紙。
所有爸爸該寫的信都由我來寫,您不會找到半點兒破綻。
我會從A一直寫到K。
但是,媽媽,您為什麼笑了呢?
您不相信我能寫得跟爸爸一樣好嗎?
我會用心寫整齊,把每個字母寫得又大又漂亮。
我寫完之後,您以為我會跟爸爸一樣傻,將信放進那可惡郵差的袋裡嗎?
我會自己馬上將這些信送來給您,並且逐字逐句幫您讀。
我知道那個郵差不願意把真正很棒的信件送來給您。
THE WICKED POSTMAN
By Tagore
Why do you sit there on the floor so quiet and silent, tell me, mother dear?
The rain is coming in through the open window, making you all wet, and you don't mind it.
Do you hear the gong striking four? It is time for my brother to come home from school.
What has happened to you that you look so strange? Haven't you got a letter from father to-day?
I saw the postman bringing letters in his bag for almost everybody in the town.
Only, father's letters he keeps to read himself. I am sure the postman is a wicked man.
But don't be unhappy about that, mother dear.
To-morrow is market day in the next village. You ask your maid to buy some pens and papers.
I myself will write all father's letters; you will not find a single mistake.
I shall write from A right up to K.
But, mother, why do you smile?. You don't believe that I can write as nicely as father does!
But I shall rule my paper carefully, and write all the letters beautifully big.
When I finish my writing, do you think I shall be so foolish as father and drop it into the horrid postman's bag?
I shall bring it to you myself without waiting, and letter by letter help you to read my writing.
I know the postman does not like to give you the really nice letters.
