Source text - Chinese 从三叔家出来，我有些失魂落魄。老觉得天色暮沉沉，于是发了昏似的乱走。走着走着，忽然听到了山里传来的歌声，是阿为在唱，但又决不可能是阿为，他刚刚还在菜地里，就是有飞毛腿也决不可能一下子飞到那边山里去的。一阵顺风将歌声带过来，的确是阿为啊，难道竟有如此相似的嗓音？这样猜测时，就看见阿为坐在自家门坎上逗那只黑公鸡，一脸的流里流气。再要听，什么都听不到了。阿为的母亲出来了，抄起一根竹竿就来扑阿为，重重地打在门坎上，发出“当！”的一声响，阿 为早跑得无影无踪了。老妇人蹲在地上，无声地抹起了眼泪。我赶紧躲过这一幕。
Translation - English As I left Uncle San’s home, I felt as though I were out of my senses. In what seemed to be a gloomy atmosphere, I drifted around aimlessly as if I were mad. Suddenly I heard singing coming from within the mountains. It was Awei, yet it could not be Awei, for he was still in the vegetable field. He couldn’t have flown to the other side of the mountain even if he had had Hercules’s feet. A breeze brought the singing to my ears. It was Awei. How could there be another such voice? As I was thus speculating, I saw Awei sitting on the threshold of his own house teasing the black rooster, looking exactly like the hooligan that he was. When I tried to listen again, I couldn’t hear anything. Awei’s mother came out and raised a bamboo pole to strike him. The pole fell heavily on the threshold, but Awei was already nowhere to be found. The old woman squatted on the ground and wept silent tears. I hurried away.
