"I ought not to have listened to her," he confided to me one

day. "One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace. This tale of claws, which disturbed me so much, should only have filled my heart with tenderness and pity."  一天，他向我吐露心扉说：“我本不该听信她的话。一个人绝不该相信花儿的话。他只要看一看它们，闻一闻它们的香气就可以了。我那朵花的香气溢满整个星球。可我却不知如何欣赏她全部的美。老虎爪子那件事让我非常不安，可本该让我内心充满同情和怜悯才是。”
