Over in the clover, in the bright moonlight, three baby moles burrow through the night.
'Dig!' says the mummy.
'We dig!' say the three.
And they doggle, daggle, dig in the bright moonlight.
Over in the Clover

原来，我并不孤独
杏子从来没有看过星星。即使每天晚上，大家都会仰望夜空，说着“今晚的星星好漂亮喔！”之类的话，但猫的眼睛没办法看精致不动的东西，而且视力也不是很好，所以就算抬头往上看，也看不到任何一颗星星。…

懂得使用一些魔法的樱花树
“……
那可能是樱花想让我看到的欢迎、或是魔法吧。总之，那是一种无从得知真相的幻觉。说到樱花，特别是在车站旁边那个公园里，既漂亮又历史悠久的樱花，你不觉得它们有一种魔力吗？那棵樱花树已经生长在那里，看着这座风早市两百多年了，如果它懂得使用一些魔法，似乎也没有什么奇怪的……”…

变成一片大海
“……原来，娃娃也是会哭的啊。”
就算我们只是娃娃，如果真的非常伤心，也是一样会哭的喔。不过，从我们小小的眼睛流出来的泪水非常少，在人们注意到之前，我们就已经不哭了，所以从来不会有人察觉。但是，再也没有什么事情比必须跟自己最喜欢的女孩分开还要难过，我好想就这样一直不停地哭下去，一直哭、一直哭，哭到眼泪变成喷泉、变成湖泊，甚至变成一片大海。…

The Dance of the Dinosaurs
Across the wide dessert the Dinosaurs stomped, over the sand they roared and they romped.
Then Goergie and Dee - and Cat too - all danced together in the Hullabaloo!
Jaws CLASHED! CLAWS FLASHED! Faster and faster, feet CRASHED!

They were in It
Every morning, Tessa and Zachary walked to school, and every afternoon they walked home again.
If it was hot, they walked in the shade.
If it was cold, they put on a jumper.
If it was just right, they smiled and said AHHHHHHH!…
A Green and Clean Machine
It was a green machine.
It was a clean machine.
They climbed inside where it was cosy and comfortable and calm.
They rode all the way home and it was smooth and swift.
They looked for the ten tiny things, but the world whizzed…

As a Ninety-Seven
The conversation dwindled further, and I made my excuses, Newton dragging me forward until we reached a large stretch of grass. This is what dogs liked to do, I discovered. They liked to run around on grass, pretending they were free, shouting,…
Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis

Finding the Right Person to Hurt You
She looked at my plate. 'Are you not eating that?'
'No,' I said. 'I don't think I could.' And then, thinking I might get some information out of her, I asked, 'If I had done something, achieved something remarkable, do you think I would…

Everything Here was a Test
The truth is, I was quite terrified. My heart had begun racing for no obvious reason. My palms were sweating. Something about the room, and its proportions, coupled with so much contact with this irrational species, was setting me off. Everything…

A Planet of Things Wrapped Inside Things
All this salivatory offloading was making me thirsty, so I went over a humming refrigerated unit full of brightly coloured cylindrical objects. I picked one of them up, and opened it. A can of liquid called 'Diet Coke'. It tasted extremely…
You have to Spend a lot of Time
It took a while - too long - to understand the situation. I did not know at that time what a road was, but I can now tell you that a road is something that connects points of departure with points of arrivals. This is important. On Earth, you…

一页柠檬史
一页柠檬史
一般般认为，柠檬源起于印南、缅北与中国交界一带，它的亲本应是枸椽与苦橙杂交而来。枸椽又叫香椽，皮粗厚带芳香、汁少、味苦,早是犹太人住棚节必备的植物；而苦橙又名酸椽，早在古希腊时代便用做芳香疗法的杀菌剂以及植物疗法里提炼精油。…

Dog can't see the funny side.
"You stole my sign, Wolf," he says.
"You're a thief.
A stupid one at that.
Because it says on the sign:
BEWARE!
I KEEP GUARD FOR MY BOSS!

A Wolf is Still A Wolf
Wolf sits in his forest.
He laughs himself silly.
How easy it was to trick Dog.
He isn't a bit sorry.
Oh, No!
A wolf is still a wolf.
He bites when he's hungry.
He lies when it suits him.
Bad luck for…

There's no kitty to be seen.

For an hour or so."
