狼的傳說(shuō)(A Wolf’s Tale)

　　with all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our ranch became a lonely place for our three-year-old daughter, becky. she longed for playmates. cattle and horses were too big to cuddle and farm machinery dangerous for a child so small. we promised to buy her a puppy but in the meantime, “pretend” puppies popped up nearly every day.

　　i had just finished washing the lunch dishes when the screen door slammed and becky rushed in, cheeks flushed with excitement. “mama!” she cried, “come see my new doggy! i gave him water two times already. he’s so thirsty!”

　　i sighed, another of becky’s imaginary dogs.

　　哥哥姐姐都去上學(xué)以后，對(duì)我們?nèi)龤q的女兒貝基來(lái)說(shuō)，農(nóng)場(chǎng)就成為一個(gè)寂寞的地方了。她渴望伙伴。牛馬太大了，她無(wú)法抱在懷里。農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械對(duì)這么小的孩子也太危險(xiǎn)。我們答應(yīng)給她買(mǎi)個(gè)寵物，不過(guò)同時(shí)，“虛構(gòu)”的寵物每天都會(huì)出現(xiàn)。

　　我剛洗完午飯的盤(pán)子，紗窗門(mén)就砰地被撞開(kāi)，貝基跑了進(jìn)來(lái)，興奮地滿臉通紅�！皨寢�!”她叫著，“快來(lái)看看我的新狗狗!我已經(jīng)喂他兩次水了，他都快渴死了!”

　　我嘆息了一聲，又是一只貝基虛構(gòu)的小狗。

　　“please come, mama.” she tugged at my jeans, her brown eyes pleading, “he’s crying — and he can’t walk!”

　　“can’t walk?” now that was a twist. all her previous make-believe dogs could do marvelous things. one balanced a ball on the end of its nose. another dug a hole that went all the way through the earth and fell out on a star on the other side.

　　still another danced on a tightrope. why suddenly a dog that couldn’t walk?

　　“all right, honey,” i said. by the time i tried to follow her, becky had already disappeared into the mesquite.

　　“where are you?” i called.

　　“over here by the oak stump. hurry, mama!”

　　“來(lái)呀，媽媽�！彼�使勁拖著我的牛仔褲，棕色的眼睛里透出乞求的眼神�！八�一直在叫——他還不會(huì)走路呢!”

　　“不會(huì)走路?”這倒是一個(gè)預(yù)想不到的變化。她以前編造的狗狗都會(huì)做令人驚異的事情。其中一只會(huì)在鼻尖上平穩(wěn)地頂著一個(gè)球不讓它掉下來(lái)，另一只挖洞穿越了地球，從另一端掉到星球上去了，還有一只在能在鋼絲上跳舞。怎么突然有了一只不會(huì)走路的狗狗呢?

　　“好吧，寶貝。”我說(shuō)。還來(lái)不及跟上她呢，貝基就已經(jīng)消失在豆科灌木叢中了。

　　“你在哪兒啊?”我喊道。
