18.白纸如是说                    

 

  一张雪一样清白的纸片如是说:"我生来纯洁无瑕,愿今后永续这份纯洁。我宁可被焚,化为灰烬,也不愿黑色玷污我,不愿脏物靠近我。"

  墨水瓶听了白纸的话,在自己黑色的心中暗笑,后来便再不敢接近白纸。彩笔听了白纸的话,也再不去碰它了。

  果然,这张白纸得以永续自己的洁白和纯净了:洁白,纯净,又空空如也。

Said a Sheet of Snow-White Paper ...

Said a sheet of snow-white paper, "Pure was I created, and pure will I remain for ever. I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me."

The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying, and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her. And the multicoloured pencils heard her also, and they too never came near her.

And the snow-white sheet of paper did remain pure and chaste for ever, pure and chaste - and empty.
