Little Nutbrown Hare, who was going to bed, held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare
’s very long ears.He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening.
“Guess how much I love you,” he said.
“Oh, I don’t think I could guess that,” said Big Nutbrown Hare.
“This much,” said Little Nutbrown Hare, stretching out his arms as wide
as they could go.
Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms.
“But I love you this much,” he said.
Hmm, that is a lot, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
“I love you as high as I can reach,” said Little Nutbrown Hare.
“I love you as high as I can reach,” said Big Nutbrown Hare.
That is very high, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I had arms like th
at.
Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea. He tumbled upside down and reac
hed up the tree trunk with his feet.
“I love you all the way up to my toes!” He said.
“And I love you all the way up to your toes, ”
said Big Nutbrown Hare, swinging him up over his head.
“I love you as high as I can hop!” laughed Little Nutbrown Hare, Bouncin
g up and down.
“But I love you as high as I can hop,” smiled Big Nutbrown Hare - and he
hopped so high that his ears touched the branches above.
That’s good hopping,thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I could hop like
that.
“I love you all the way down the lane as far as the river,” cried Little
Nutbrown Hare.
“I love you across the river and over the hills,”said Big Nutbrown Hare.
That’s very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
He was almost too sleepy to think anymore.
Then he looked beyond the thorn bushes,out into the big dark night. Nothin
g could be farther then the sky.
“I love you right up to the moon,” he said,and closed his eyes.
“Oh, that’s far, ” said big Nutbrown Hare. “That is very, very far.”
Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves. He
leaned over and kissed him good night.
Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile,
“I love you right up to the moon ── and back.”
How much can you love someone ？
Little Nutbrown Hare wants to show Big Nutbrown Hare how very much he love
s him ─
But love as big as his is very hard to measure.
猜猜我有多爱你
小兔子要上床睡觉了，他紧紧抓着大兔子的长耳朵。他要大兔子好好的听他说。
「猜猜我有多爱你。」
「噢，我大概猜不出来。」大兔子说。
「我爱你这么多。」小兔子把手臂张开，开得不能再开。
大兔子有一双更长的手臂，他张开来一比，说：「可是，我爱你这么多。」
小兔子想：嗯，这真的很多。
「我爱你，像我举的这么高，高得不能再高。」小兔子说。
「我爱你，像我举的这么高，高得不能再高。」大兔子说。
这真的很高，小兔子想。希望我的手臂可以像他一样。
小兔子又有一个好主意。他把脚顶在树干上，倒立起来了。
他说：「我爱你到我的脚趾头这么多。」
大兔子把小兔子拋起来，飞得比他的头还高，说：「我爱你到你的脚趾头那么多。」
小兔子笑起来了，说：「我爱你，像我跳的这么高，高得不能再高。」
他跳过来又跳过去。
大兔子笑着说：「可是，我爱你，像我跳的这么高，高得不能再高。」
他往上一跳，耳朵都跳到树枝了。
跳得真高，小兔子想。真希望我也可以跳得像他一样高。
小兔子大叫：「我爱你，一直到过了小路，在远远的河那边。」
大兔子说：「我爱你，一真到过了小河，越过山的那一边。」
小兔子想，那真的好远。他开始困了，想不出来了。
他看着树丛后面那一大片的黑夜。没有任何东西比天空更远的了。
小兔子闭上了眼睛说：「我爱你，从这里一直到月亮。」
「噢！那么远，」大兔子说，「真的非常远、非常远。」
大兔子轻轻地把小兔子放在叶子铺成的床上，低下头来亲亲他，祝他晚安。
然后，大兔子躺在小兔子的旁边，小声的微笑着说：「我爱你从这里一直到月亮，再
──绕回来。」
当你很爱、很爱一个人的时候，也许，你会想把这种感觉描述出来。
但，就像小兔子和大兔子发现到的：爱，不是一件容易衡量的东西。
When I was pasting the story, sad momeories kept flashing in my mind. I used t
o shout at him, "you never love me as half as I love you". He smiled cunningly
, "Well, love cannot be measured. How can you tell the amount of my love and e
ven compare it with the amount of yours?" I choked on my reply. Right, I can‘
t measure it but I can feel it.
I never keep you waiting for I know the waiting is painful but you always
tell me to wait for a couple of weeks in a casual tone.
"So," Little Nutbrown Hare may ask, "why do you love the man who does not
love you much?"
"Hm, I wish I could answer that."
All I can tell Little Nutbrown Hare is that if a love can be reasoned and
classified, it is not true love probably.
