以往大家总会用赞叹的眼光看着我穿戴这些东西,绕过温德姆宫殿,沿着公园大道走下去。
虽然他穿戴起来绝对无法像我那样英姿飒爽,但我深信,他一定会竭尽所能不表现得像只笨拙、没见过世面的狗。
在这个牧场上,他也许会在某些方面,证明自己是可以和我媲美的。
我想,至少在追逐杰克兔这件事上,他一定会表现得比我衰老时优秀。
虽然他有许多无法弥补的缺点,但我依然希望他在我的老家过得幸福快乐。
亲爱的男女主人,这是我道别的最后一个请求了。
无论什么时候,你们到我的坟前看我,借助我与你们相伴一生长久、快乐的回忆,请以满怀哀伤而欢欣的口吻对自己说:“这里埋葬着爱我们的和我们爱的朋友。”
不管我睡得多沉,依旧可以听到你们的呼唤,所有的死神都无法阻止我朝你们欢快地摇尾巴。
