铅笔鼠,是一只足智多谋的老鼠。
随时随地,他都会冒出各种新想法。
Pencil,a mouse full of wisdom.
Any time,he could give birth to all kinds of new ideas.
但是,面对食物,面对其他饥饿的老鼠,
聪明才智好像根本没有什么用,
除了努力找、快速搬、小心藏,没有别的捷径。
相反,很多时候,当他正在考虑最佳办法的时候,
别的笨老鼠早就把眼前的食物抢走。
However,facing foods and other hungry mice,it seemed that his wisdom had no use at all.
Except for trying searching,moving fastly and storing carefully,there was no other shortcut.
Oppositedly,most of time,when he was considering the best way,other clumsy mice had carried away the foods in his sight early and rapidly.
所以他经常叹息:上帝给了我如此聪明的脑袋,却让它毫无用处。
So he often sighed:God gave me such a smart head,but made it be useless.
正当他满腹郁闷的时候,他看到了心果,并立即用储粮换了一个。
那色彩、那滋味,完全超出了他的想象。
When he felt depressed,he saw Heart Fruit and exchanged one with his foods at once.
That color and the taste,was absolutely beyond his imagination
让他意外的是,喇叭鼠竟然找上门,让他出谋划策。
他期待已久的舞台,终于摆在了眼前。他兴奋无比,决定全力以赴。
他开始四处打探,发现很多老鼠根本没见过、甚至不知道心果。
What surprised him was that Horn knocked on his door and asked for his advice.
The stage he expected so long finally appeared in front of his eyes.He was quite excited and decided to do his best.
He began to investigate all around and found that many mice did not see and even know Heart Fruit at all.
于是,他想了个好办法,
找了几只不知道心果的老鼠,问他们:你尝过心果吗?
那几只老鼠当然一脸茫然。
他立刻摆出十分吃惊的表情,然后很遗憾地摇摇头,叹息着走开。
那几只老鼠当然很好奇,开始四处打听。
Hence,he got a good idea.
He found a few mice who did not know Heart Fruit and asked them:did you ever taste Heart Fruit?
Surely those mice looked absent.
He pretended to be very astonished right now and then shook his head with regrets and walked away sighing.
Those mice were surely surprised and started inquiries around.
没过多久,“心果”这个词便流传开来。
没吃过心果的老鼠很多,没见过的也不少,但没听说过的几乎没有。
In a short time,the word“Heart Fruit”went round.
Many mice did not taste Heart Fruit and many mice not see it,but hardly mice heard of it.
好奇让老鼠们纷纷寻找心果。
铅笔鼠又找来一群老鼠背着粮食,排着长队来换心果,
换到后,背着心果四处转悠。
其他有余粮的老鼠见此情景,也忍不住来排队。
就这样,队伍越来越长,很快就不需要安插自己的老鼠了。
Curiosity made mice look for Heart Fruit
铅笔鼠的才智第一次成功施展,
并得到喇叭鼠的重奖——足足三个大心果。
品尝自己胜利果实的时候,他幸福得几乎落泪。
但是,一个问题又出现了:心果太昂贵。
绝大多老鼠只是因为好奇而尝一下鲜,之后再舍不得继续来换。
喇叭鼠决定适当降价,铅笔鼠却认为不用着急。
他就是要让心果成为所有老鼠的梦想。
他找了一群漂亮的老鼠,把他们装扮一番,
让他们专门跑到一些高地,唱歌跳舞吃心果,让幸福的笑声传遍四方。
那些吃草籽的老鼠看到这种情景,当然十分羡慕。
他们纷纷感叹:这才是生活啊!
当心果成为老鼠们共同的期待时,
铅笔鼠才建议适当降价。
消息一传出,立即有许多老鼠背着粮食来排队换心果。
喇叭鼠见此情景,立即决定扩大生产。
铅笔鼠又提出建议:增产的心果暂时不交换,全都库存。
When Heart Fruit became the common expectation of mice,Pencil just suggested to properly reduce the price.
Hearing the news,many mice lined up carrying their foods to exchange right now.
At this sight,Horn decided at once to enlarge planting.
Pencil made another advice:increased heart fruits were not used to exchange temporarily and stored in stocks.
这样,只有一小部分老鼠换到了心果。
他们当然十分得意,拿着心果四处炫耀。
正中下怀!铅笔鼠暗自得意。
This way,only a little part of mice got heart fruits by exchange.
They surely were proud very much and took them to display all around.
That fitted exactly with Pencil’s wishes!He was secretly proud.
心果成为了幸福生活的象征。
喇叭鼠决定再次降价,但铅笔鼠却提出相反的建议:
涨价,并且每天严格控制交换量。
同时宣布:由于季节原因,心果产量骤减。
Heart Fruit bacame a symbol of happy life.
Horn decided to reduce price again,but Pencil gave him the opposited advice:
Increase the price and each day strictly control the amount of exchange.
In the meanwhile,he declared:for the reason of season,a yield of heart fruits reduced greatly.
铅笔鼠的计谋又一次灵验。
排队换心果的老鼠有增无减。
虽然每天交换量小了,但收益却比往常增加不少。
幸运换到心果的老鼠更加得意。
The stratagem of Pencil was proved correct once again.
More mice came to exchange in a long line.
Although the amount of exchange turned down,the profits grew up much more than usual.
The mice luckily changing for heart fruits became prouder.
铅笔鼠因此又得到了重奖,收入也随之提高。
理所当然,他过起了自己设计的幸福生活:
每天以心果为食,再也不用担心下一顿早餐。
As a result,Pencil won the big award again and his income consequently was increased.
Certainly,he lived a happy life planned by himself:
Each day eat heart fruits and never worry about next breakfast.
当库存积累足够之后,铅笔鼠才建议降价。
四面八方的老鼠纷纷赶来,疯狂争抢。
便宜的心果让他们第一次体验到了幸福的生活。
所有老鼠都开始拼命劳作,心果成为他们唯一的奋斗目标。
When the storage had become enough,Pencil just made another advice of price reduction.
The mice far and near ran over to insanely scramble.
The cheap heart fruits made them experience the happy life at the first time.
Every mouse began to labor hard and the heart fruit became the only one target for them to fight.
眼看着这些老鼠落入自己的计谋,
铅笔鼠真正感受到了才智的可怕力量,
这给了他无比的信心,他告诉自己:
Watching those mice falling into his stratagem,Pencil really felt the horrible power of wisdom.
This gave him the great confidence and he told himself:
这只是开始,我将控制世界!
It is just beginning and I am going to control the world!
