"If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom

grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, 'Somewhere, my flower is there...' But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened... And you think that is not important!" 
“如果一个人喜爱一株花，这花又是亿万颗星星上唯一的一株，那么只是看着星星就足以让他开心。他可以对自己说：‘某个地方，我的花就在那里……’但如果羊把花吃掉了，顷刻间，他所有的星星都会熄灭……你居然认为那不重要！”

He could not say anything more. His words were choked by sobbing.
他再也说不出话来。他哽咽了，开始抽泣起来。
