and shepherds dressed in knee breeches with pink and yellow and blue stripes down them, and golden buckles on their shoes;

Of course they took pains not to light on his head and get the pins in their feet.
當然，他們的腳不能落在稻草人的頭上。否則，那些釘子戳進腳里，可是要受罪的。
When all were safely down they picked up the Scarecrow, whose body was quite flattened out, and patted his straw into shape again.
所有的都跳下來后，他們扶起了稻草人，他的身體被踩了好幾次，變得非常扁平了，他們慢慢地拍著稻草，使他再回復原狀。
