Somebody started the lie that the monkeygarden had been there before anything. We liked to think the garden could hidethings for a thousand years. There beneath the roots of soggy flowers were thebones of murdered pirates and dinosaurs, the eye of a unicorn turned to coal.
This is where I wanted to die and where Itried one day but not even the monkey garden would have me. It was the last dayI would go there.
Who was it that said I was getting too oldto play the games? Who was it I didn't listen to? I only remember that when theothers ran, I wanted to run too, up and down and through the monkey garden,fast as the boys, not like Sally who screamed if she got her stockings muddy.
渐渐起来一种传言，说别的事物都还没出现之前，这里便有了猴子花园。我们很乐意去想，这个花园可以把东西藏上一千年。在湿漉漉的花儿的根下面，躺着被谋杀的海盗和恐龙的骨头，而独角兽的眼睛变成了煤。
这里是我曾经想死去的地方，是那天我试过去死的地方，可是，连猴子花园都不愿意收留我。那将是我最后一天去那里。
是谁说我太大了不能玩这样的游戏了？是谁的话我没有听？我只记得，别人都跑开时，我也想跑，跑上跑下蹿遍猴子花园，像男孩一样快，而不是像萨莉那样，看到袜子上沾了泥巴就尖叫。
