But he made one more effort : " You know , it will be very nice . |
lpp_1943.1501 |
English |
I , too , shall look at the stars . |
lpp_1943.1502 |
English |
All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley . |
lpp_1943.1503 |
English |
All the stars will pour out fresh water for me to drink ... " |
lpp_1943.1504 |
English |
I said nothing . |
lpp_1943.1505 |
English |
" That will be so amusing ! |
lpp_1943.1506 |
English |
You will have five hundred million little bells , and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water ... " |

English |
And he too said nothing more , because he was crying ... |
lpp_1943.1508 |
English |
" Here it is . |
lpp_1943.1509 |
English |
Let me go on by myself . " |
lpp_1943.1510 |

lpp_1943.1515 |
English |

lpp_1943.1516 |

English |
He took one step . |
lpp_1943.1520 |

lpp_1943.1521 |
English |
There was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle . |
lpp_1943.1522 |

He remained motionless for an instant . |
lpp_1943.1523 |
English |
He did not cry out . |
lpp_1943.1524 |
English |
He fell as gently as a tree falls . |
