【第ㄧ封信】


好久不見,
你好嗎?
我很好!

這裡開始變冷了,
小鳥告訴我,冬天快要來了。
樹葉們開始跳舞了,
我看見第一片葉子在樹枝上轉呀轉呀轉 ——
一圈、兩圈、三圈
—— 然後輕輕地跳下樹枝。

每片葉子落下的時候,都會發出小小的歌聲,
其他的樹葉也跟著輕輕合唱。
小鳥也跟著它們一起唱,
牠們合唱的歌,好美~

那歌聲讓我有一點點想家,
真希望你也能聽到。

搬進新家不久後的ㄧ個微寒初春清晨,
我收到了一封陌生的信。
這封舊舊的信看起來像已經在路上旅行了很長一段時間,
信封上印著幾枚小小的灰色腳印,
幾片夾在紙頁間的乾枯樹葉掉了出來。

是一封來自小狗的信。

【 Letter 1 】

Hi!
It’s been so long. Are you okay?
I’m okay!

It’s getting cold here.
The birds told me winter is on its way.
The leaves are dancing!
I saw the first leaf spin, spin, spin
on its branch—
one, two, three times—
then it let go and danced down!

When each leaf falls,
it makes a tiny, singing sound.
All the leaves are singing,
and the birds sing with them.
It sounds like a secret song,
quiet and soft and lovely.

When I hear it, I think of home.
I wish you could hear it too.

It was on a cold spring morning,
not long after I had moved into my new home,
that I received an unexpected letter.
It appeared to have been traveling for quite a while.
Tiny gray paw prints trailed across the envelope,
and a few dried leaves had slipped in with the paper.
Only then did I realize—
it was a letter from a little dog.
