"What is to happen will happen," said the largest pea. "Crack" went the sh ell as it burst, and the five peas rolled out into the bright sunshine. There they lay in a child's hand. A little boy was holding them tightly, and said they were fine peas for his pea-shooter. An d immediately he put one in and shot it out. "Now I am flying out into the wide world," said he; "catch me if you can;" and he was gone in a moment. "I," said the second, "inte nd to fly straight to the sun; that is a shell that lets itself be seen, and it will suit me exactly." And away he went. "We will go to sleep wherever we find ourselves," said the two next, "we sh all still be rolling onwards;" and they did certainly fall on the floor and roll about before they got into the pea-shooter, but they were put in for all that. "We shall go farther than the others," said they. "What is to happen will happen," exclaimed the last, as he was shot out of the pea-shooter; and as he spoke he flew up against an old board under a garret window, and fell into a little crevice, which was almost filled up with moss and soft earth. The moss closed itself round him and there he lay, a captive indeed, but not unnoticed by God. "What is to happen will happen," said he to himself. | 「如果要发生什么就让它发生吧！」最大颗的豌豆说。 「叭！」豆荚裂开了，五颗豌豆掉了出来，落在太阳底下。 它们躺在一个小孩的手中。 一个小男孩正紧紧握住它们，说它们是他豆枪的五颗豆子。 并马上把一颗装入枪内射出去。 「现在我将飞到辽阔的世界里，」它说：「如果你能捉住我就来吧！」很快的它飞走了。 「我，」第二颗说：「打算一直飞到太阳那里去，据我观察那是一个豆荚，它非常适合我。」 然后它也飞走了。 「我们抵达什么地方，就在什么地方睡觉，」其余两颗说：「我们一定还要向前滚动，」于是它们在装入豆枪以前，果然直落在地板四处打滚。但是不管怎样，还是被装进豆枪内。 「我们会被射得比其它的更远。」它们说。 「如果要发生什么就让它发生吧！」最后一颗被射出豆枪时叫道，它才说完便飞上顶楼窗子下面的一块旧木板上，最后落入一个小裂孔。那个裂孔几乎布满了青苔及舒软泥土。 青苔把它裹住，它躺在那里，完全被捕攫住了，不过上帝并没有将它遗忘。 「如果要发生什么就让它发生吧！」它对自己这样说。 |
