A small white dog which belonged to one of the gardeners appeared，and seemed very interested in me．
一個(gè)園丁的小白狗出現(xiàn)了，它似乎對我很感興趣，它用嘴叼著我，把我叼到了它的主人那兒。
He took me in his mouth and carried me to his master，Luckily，he had been well trained，and did not try to bite me，so I was not hurt．
幸運(yùn)的是，它受到了良好的訓(xùn)練，沒有試圖咬我，所以我沒有受傷。

一天王后對我說，劃船或揚(yáng)帆會(huì)對你的健康有好處。你覺得怎么樣？你愿意讓我為你安排嗎？

夫人，我回答說，我愿意每天劃船或揚(yáng)帆一會(huì)兒，可是哪兒找得到足夠小的船呢？
Leave that to me，she replied，and called for her workmen．
交給我吧，她回答說，然后叫來了她的工匠，
She ordered them to make a tiny boat with sails．

They also made a wooden container，about a hundred metres long，seventeen metres wide and three metres deep．

There was no wind，of course，but the ladies blew hard to move my boat along．
