And instead of having an uneasy conscience pricking him and whispering 'whitewash!' he somehow could only feel how jolly it was to be the only idle dog among all these busy citizens.

一切都那么美好,好得简直不像是真的。他跑过一片又一片的草坪,沿着矮树篱,穿过灌木丛,匆匆地游逛。处处都看到鸟儿做窝筑巢,花儿含苞待放,叶儿挤挤嚷嚷—万物都显得快乐,忙碌,奋进。他听不到良心在耳边嘀咕:“刷墙!”只觉得,在一大群忙忙碌碌的公民当中,做一只唯一的懒狗,是多么惬意。看来,过休假日最舒心的方面,还不是自己得到休憩,而是看到别人都在忙着干活。
