我叫席尔维丹·安伯伦·奥尼尔，而家人、朋友和熟悉我的人，都叫我伯莱明。
衰老带给我的负担让我认识到自己已经走到了生命的尽头，因此，我将把最后的情感和遗嘱埋葬于主人的心中。
直到我死后，他才会蓦然发现，这些情感和遗嘱就埋藏在他心灵的一隅，当他孤寂时，或许会想起我，然而就在那一瞬间，他会突然感受到这份遗嘱的内容，我期望他能将此铭记于心，当做纪念。
我可以遗留下来的实物少得可怜。
其实我们比人类更聪明，我们不会将一些乱七八糟的东西收藏在一个大仓库里，也不会把时间浪费在储藏金钱上，更不会为了那些得到了的和没有得到的东西而辗转难眠。
除了爱和信赖，我没有什么值钱的东西可以留给他人。
我将这些留给所有爱过我的人，首先要留给我的男主人和女主人，我知道他们会为我的离去献上最深切的哀悼；其次要留给曾经善待我的自由公民；还要留给茜、罗、威利和诺米。
