THE PLANTING OF THE TREE

"WELL done," said Aslan in a voice that made the earth shake. Then Digory knew that all the Narnians had heard those words and that the story of them would be handed down from father to son in that new world for hundreds of years and perhaps forever. But he was in no danger of feeling conceited1 for he didn't think about it at all now that he was face to face with Aslan. This time he found he could look straight into the Lion's eyes. He had forgotten his troubles and felt absolutely content.

"Well done, son of Adam," said the Lion again. "For this fruit you have hungered and thirsted and wept. No hand but yours shall sow the seed of the Tree that is to be the protection of Narnia. Throw the apple towards the river bank where the ground is soft."

Digory did as he was told. Everyone had grown so quiet that you could hear the soft thump2 where it fell into the mud.

"It is well thrown," said Aslan. "Let us now proceed to the Coronation of King Frank of Narnia and Helen his Queen."

The children now noticed these two for the first time. They were dressed in strange and beautiful clothes, and from their shoulders rich robes flowed out behind them to where four dwarfs3 held up the King's train and four rivernymphs the Queen's. Their heads were bare; but Helen had let her hair down and it made a great improvement in her appearance. But it was neither hair nor clothes that made them look so different from their old selves. Their faces had a new expression, especially the King's. All the sharpness and cunning and quarrelsomeness which he had picked up as a London cabby seemed to have been washed away, and the courage and kindness which he had always had were easier to see. Perhaps it was the air of the young world that had done it, or talking with Aslan, or both.

"Upon my word," whispered Fledge to Polly. "My old master's been changed nearly as much as I have! Why, he's a real master now."

"Yes, but don't buzz in my ear like that," said Polly. "It tickles4 so."

"Now," said Aslan, "some of you undo5 that tangle6 you have made with those trees and let us see what we shall find there."

Digory now saw that where four trees grew close together their branches had all been laced together or tied together with switches so as to make a sort of cage. The two Elephants with their trunks and a few dwarfs with their little axes soon got it all undone7. There were three things inside. One was a young tree that seemed to be made of gold; the second was a young tree that seemed to be made of silver; but the third was a miserable8 object in muddy clothes, sitting hunched9 up between them.

"Gosh!" whispered Digory. "Uncle Andrew!"

To explain all this we must go back a bit. The Beasts, you remember, had tried planting and watering him. When the watering brought him to his senses, he found himself soaking wet, buried up to his thighs10 in earth (which was quickly turning into mud) and surrounded by more wild animals than he had ever dreamed of in his life before. It is perhaps not surprising that he began to scream and howl. This was in a way a good thing, for it at last persuaded everyone (even the Warthog) that he was alive. So they dug him up again (his trousers were in a really shocking state by now). As soon as his legs were free he tried to bolt, but one swift curl of the Elephant's trunk round his waist soon put an end to that. Everyone now thought he must be safely kept somewhere till Aslan had time to come and see him and say what should be done about him. So they made a sort of cage or coop all round him. They then offered him everything they could; think of to eat.

The Donkey collected great piles of thistles and threw them in, but Uncle Andrew didn't seem to care about them. The Squirrels bombarded him with volleys of nuts but he only covered his head with his hands and tried to keep out of the way. Several birds flew to and fro deligently dropping worms on him. The Bear was especially kind. During the afternoon he found a wild bees' nest and instead of eating it himself (which he would very much like to have done) this worthy11 creature brought it back to Uncle Andrew. But this was in fact the worst failure of all. The Bear lobbed the whole sticky mass over the top of the enclosure and unfortunately it hit Uncle Andrew slap in the face (not all the bees were dead). The Bear, who would not at all have minded being hit in the face by a honeycomb himself, could not understand why Uncle Andrew staggered back, slipped, and sat down. And it was sheer bad luck that he sat down on the pile of thistles. "And anyway," as the Warthog said, "quite a lot of honey has got into the creature's mouth and that's bound to have done it some good." They were really getting quite fond of their strange pet and hoped that Aslan would allow them to keep it. The cleverer ones were quite sure by now that at least some of the noises which came out of his mouth had a meaning. They christened him Brandy because he made that noise so often.

In the end, however, they had to leave him there for the night. Aslan was busy all that day instructing the new King and Queen and doing other important things, and could not attend to "poor old Brandy". What with the nuts, pears, apples, and bananas that had been thrown in to him, he did fairly well for supper; but it wouldn't be true to say that he passed an agreeable night.

"Bring out that creature," said Aslan. One of the Elephants lifted Uncle Andrew in its trunk and laid him at the Lion's feet. He was too frightened to move.

"Please, Aslan," said Polly, "could you say something to - to unfrighten him? And then could you say something to prevent him from ever coming back here again?"

"Do you think he wants to?" said Aslan.

"Well, Aslan," said Polly, "he might send someone else. He's so excited about the bar off the lamp-post growing into a lamp-post tree and he thinks -"

"He thinks great folly12, child," said Aslan. "This world is bursting with life for these few days because the song with which I called it into life still hangs in the air and rumbles13 in the ground. It will not be so for long. But I cannot tell that to this old sinner, and I cannot comfort him either; he has made himself unable to hear my voice. If I spoke14 to him, he would hear only growlings and roarings. Oh Adam's sons, how cleverly you defend yourselves against all that might do you good! But I will give him the only gift he is still able to receive."

He bowed his great head rather sadly, and breathed into the Magician's terrified face. "Sleep," he said. "Sleep and be separated for some few hours from all the torments15 you have devised for yourself." Uncle Andrew immediately rolled over with closed eyes and began breathing peacefully.

"Carry him aside and lay him down," said Aslan. "Now, dwarfs! Show your smith-craft. Let me see you make two crowns for your King and Queen."

More Dwarfs than you could dream of rushed forward to the Golden Tree. They had all its leaves stripped off, and some of its branches torn off too, before you could say Jack16 Robinson. And now the children could see that it did not merely look golden but was of real, soft gold. It had of course sprung up from the half-sovereigns which had fallen out of Uncle Andrew's pocket when he was turned upside down; just as the silver had grown up from the half-crowns. From nowhere, as it seemed, piles of dry brushwood for fuel, a little anvil17, hammers, tongs18, and bellows19 were produced. Next moment (how those dwarfs loved their work!) the fire was blazing, the bellows were roaring, the gold was melting, the hammers were clinking. Two Moles20, whom Aslan had set to dig (which was what they liked best) earlier in the day, poured out a pile of precious stones at the dwarfs' feet. Under the clever fingers of the little smiths two crowns took shape - not ugly, heavy things like modern European crowns, but light, delicate, beautifully shaped circles that you could really wear and look nicer by wearing. The King's was set with rubies21 and the Queen's with emeralds.

When the crowns had been cooled in the river Aslan made Frank and Helen kneel before him and he placed the crowns on their heads. Then he said, "Rise up King and Queen of Narnia, father and mother of many kings that shall be in Narnia and the Isles22 and Archenland. Be just and merciful and brave. The blessing23 is upon you."

Then everyone cheered or bayed or neighed or trumpeted24 or clapped its wings and the royal pair stood looking solemn and a little shy, but all the nobler for their shyness. And while Digory was still cheering he heard the deep voice of Aslan beside him, saying:

"Look!"

Everyone in that crowd turned its head, and then everyone drew a long breath of wonder and delight. A little way off, towering over their heads, they saw a tree which had certainly not been there before. It must have grown up silently, yet swiftly as a flag rises when you pull it up on a flagstaff, while they were all busied about the coronation. Its spreading branches seemed to cast a light rather than a shade, and silver apples peeped out like stars from under every leaf. But it was the smell which came from it, even more than the sight, that had made everyone draw in their breath. For a moment one could hardly think about anything else.

"Son of Adam," said Aslan, "you have sown well. And you, Narnians, let it be your first care to guard this Tree, for it is your Shield. The Witch of whom I told you has fled far away into the North of the world; she will live on there, growing stronger in dark Magic. But while that Tree flourishes she will never come down into Narnia. She dare not come within a hundred miles of the Tree, for its smell, which is joy and life and health to you, is death and horror and despair to her."

Everyone was staring solemnly at the Tree when Aslan suddenly swung round his head (scattering golden gleams of light from his mane as he did so) and fixed25 his large eyes on the children. "What is it, children?" he said, for he caught them in the very act of whispering and nudging one another.

"Oh - Aslan, sir," said Digory, turning red, "I forgot to tell you. The Witch has already eaten one of those apples, one of the same kind that Tree grew from." He hadn't really said all he was thinking, but Polly at once said it for him (Digory was always much more afraid than she of looking a fool.)

"So we thought, Aslan," she said, "that there must be some mistake, and she can't really mind the smell of those apples."

"Why do you think that, Daughter of Eve?" asked the Lion. '

"Well, she ate one."

"Child," he replied, "that is why all the rest are now a horror to her. That is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. The fruit is good, but they loathe26 it ever after."

"Oh I see," said Polly. "And I suppose because she took it in the wrong way it won't work for her. I mean it won't make her always young and all that?"

"Alas," said Aslan, shaking his head. "It will. Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart's desire; she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery27 and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it."

"I - I nearly ate one myself, Aslan," said Digory. "Would I -"

"You would, child," said Aslan. "For the fruit always works - it must work - but it does not work happily for any who pluck it at their own will. If any Narnian, unbidden, had stolen an apple and planted it here to protect Narnia, it would have protected Narnia. But it would have done so by making Narnia into another strong and cruel empire like Charn, not the kindly28 land I mean it to be. And the Witch tempted29 you to do another thing, my son, did she not?"

"Yes, Aslan. She wanted me to take an apple home to Mother."

"Understand, then, that it would have healed her; but not to your joy or hers. The day would have come when both you and she would have looked back and said it would have been better to die in that illness."

And Digory could say nothing, for tears choked him and he gave up all hopes of saving his Mother's life; but at the same time he knew that the Lion knew what would have happened, and that there might be things more terrible even than losing someone you love by death. But now Aslan was speaking again, almost in a whisper:

"That is what would have happened, child, with a stolen apple. It is not what will happen now. What I give you now will bring joy. It will not, in your world, give endless life, but it will heal. Go. Pluck her an apple from the Tree."

For a second Digory could hardly understand. It was as if the whole world had turned inside out and upside down. And then, like someone in a dream, he was walking across to the Tree, and the King and Queen were cheering him and all the creatures were cheering too. He plucked the apple and put it in his pocket. Then he came back to Aslan.

"Please," he said, "may we go home now?" He had forgotten to say "Thank you", but he meant it, and Aslan understood.

      14、栽树
      “干得好。”阿斯兰用震撼大地的声音说。迪格雷知道所有的纳尼亚公民都听到了,他们的故事在那个新世界里将由父辈传给儿子,几百年也许永远流传下去。然而他并没有陷入骄傲自满的危险,因为,现在他面对面地看着阿斯兰的时候,根本就没有想到这一点。这次,他发现可以正视狮子的眼睛。他已经忘了自己的难处,完完全全地心满意足了。
      “干得好,亚当的儿子。”狮子又说,“你曾经渴望得到这只苹果并为它流过泪,只有你的手可以栽下这颗用来保卫纳尼亚的树种。将苹果朝河边的松土扔过去吧。”-
      迪格雷照着做了。大家安静下来,苹果掉进泥里时发出的轻柔响声听得很清楚。
      “扔得好,”阿斯兰说,“现在,让我们为纳尼亚的弗兰克国王和他的海伦王后举行加冕典礼。”
      孩子们现在才注意到这一对夫妻。他们穿着奇特而美丽的衣服,华贵的长袍从肩上一直拖到地上,四个小矮人托起国王的袍裾,四个河泽仙女托起王后的裙裾。他们的头上没有装饰,但海伦把头发披了下来,显得更加动人。然而,不是头发也不是服装使他们与过去迥然不同,而是脸上有了一种崭新的表情,尤其是国王。他在伦敦当马车夫时养成的尖刻、狡诈和好争吵的秉性全部涤荡一空,勇敢和善良的本性则比较明显。也许,是这个年轻世界的空气或与阿斯兰的谈话产生了这样的效果,也许两者兼有。
      “天哪,”弗兰奇悄悄对波莉说,“我的老主人几乎与我一样大大地变了。他现在是个真正的主人了。”
      “是的,但别在我耳边叽叽喳喳,”波莉说,“太痒了。”
      “现在,”阿斯兰说,“你们去把缠在一起的那几棵树松开。让我们看看里面到底是什么。”
      迪格雷这才看见,四棵树紧紧地长在一起,树枝相互缠绕纠结,形成一个像笼子似的东西。两头大象用鼻子、几个小矮人用小斧很快分开了那些树枝。里面有三样东西:一棵小树,似乎是金子做的;另一棵像是银子做的小树;但第三样东西模样太惨,衣服上涂满泥浆,弓腰缩背地夹在两棵树之间。
      “哦!”迪格雷低低地喊了一声,“安德鲁舅舅!”
      我们必须倒回去才能解释清楚。你记得动物们曾试着把他栽进土里并且浇了水吧?当水使他头脑清醒时,他发现自己浑身湿透,大腿以下全部埋在土里(土很快变成了泥浆),被他做梦也想不到的众多野兽包围着。自然他开始尖声号叫。从某种意义上讲,这是一件好事,因为,最终动物们(包括野猪)知道他还活着。于是,它们又把他挖出来(此刻,他的裤子着实会吓人一跳)。腿一出来,他就想跑,但大象用鼻子在他腰上轻轻一卷便挡住了他。每个动物都认为必须将他安全地囚起来,直到阿斯兰有空过来看了以后再行发落。所以,它们就做了一个笼子或者说棚子将他圈了起来。然后,用它们想得到的所有食物喂他。
      驴子将一大堆蓟扔进笼子,但安德鲁舅舅似乎并不理睬。松鼠们连珠炮似的砸下许多坚果,但他只是用手遮头,想法躲开。几只鸟儿勤奋地飞来飞去,向笼子里投下虫子。那头熊尤其善良。下午,它发现一只野蜂的蜂巢,高尚的熊自己舍不得吃(它其实非常想吃),带回来给了安德鲁舅舅。然而,这是最失败的一招。熊把那团黏乎乎的东西挂在笼子的顶上,不巧打着了安德鲁舅舅的脸(不是所有的蜂都死了)。那头熊自己毫不在乎脸被蜂巢打一下,也就无法理解安德鲁舅舅为什么蹒跚着往后退,滑了一跤,跌坐在地。而非常不幸的是,他又坐在了那堆蓟上。“无论如何,”像那头野猪说的,“不少蜂蜜流进了那东西的嘴巴,一定会对他有好处。”它们对这个奇怪的宠物真正地感起兴趣来,并希望阿斯兰允许它们饲养他。较聪明的一些动物十分肯定地说,他嘴里发出的声音中至少有一部分是有意义的。它们叫他“白兰地”,因为他常常发出那个音。
      然而,最后,他们不得不把他留在那里过夜。那天,阿斯兰一直忙着指导新的国王和王后,或做其他重要的事情,无法过问“可怜的老白兰地”。那么多苹果、梨子、坚果和香蕉扔了进去。他的晚餐相当丰盛,但要说他度过了一个愉快的夜晚却很不真实。
      “把那东西带出来。”阿斯兰说。一头大象用鼻子将安德鲁舅舅卷了起来,放在狮子脚边,他吓得无法动弹了。
      “对不起,阿斯兰,”波莉说,“你能说点儿什么——让他别害怕吗?然后再说点儿什么让他以后别再来这儿?”
      “你认为他想来吗?”阿斯兰说。
      “嗯,阿斯兰,”波莉说,“他可能会派别人来。从灯柱上扭下的铁棒又长成小灯柱使他很激动,他想——”
      “他的想法非常蠢,孩子,”阿斯兰说:“这个世界在这几天里充满着生命力,是因为给它注入生命力的歌声还飘逸在空中,回荡在地上。这是不会持续很久的。可是我不能跟这老无赖说这些,我也无法安慰他。他弄得他自己无法听懂我的话。如果我对他说话,他只会听到咕哝和咆哮。啊,亚当的孩子,你们抵抗了对你们有好处的所有诱惑,多么聪明!但我会把他能够接受的惟一礼物给他的。”
      它神情悲戚地低下巨大的头,朝魔法师受惊的脸上吹了一口气。“睡,”它说,“睡吧,把你自找的烦恼丢开几小时吧。”安德鲁舅舅立即合上眼皮,倒在地上,开始安详地呼吸起来。
      “把他弄到一边,让他躺着。”阿斯兰说,“好吧,小矮人,施展你们的铁匠手艺。让我看着你们给国王和王后做两个王冠。”
      做梦也想不到的许许多多小矮人朝那棵金树奔去,眨眼问,就把树上的全部叶子和一些枝桠摘了下来。孩子们现在知道,那棵树不光是金色的,而且的确是柔软的金子。它当然是从安德鲁舅舅被倒立时口袋里金币落地的地方长出来的,就像银币落地会长成银树一样。小矮人不知从哪儿弄来一堆做燃料的干灌木,还有一个小铁砧,几把铁锤,钳子和风箱。不一会儿(小矮人们很喜欢自己的工作),火就烧旺了,风箱呼呼地拉响,金子熔化了,铁锤丁丁当当地敲打起来。刚才被阿斯兰派去掘地的两只鼹鼠(它们最喜欢掘地)把一堆珍贵的宝石倒在小矮人脚下。小铁匠们灵巧的双手做成了两顶王冠——不像现在欧洲的王冠那样笨重、丑陋,而是两个轻巧、精致、造型优美的圆环,你真的可以戴上而且戴上后会更漂亮。国王的王冠上镶着红宝石,王后的王冠上镶着绿宝石。
      王冠在河水中冷却后,阿斯兰要弗兰克和海伦跪在它面前,它将王冠给他们戴上,然后说:“站起来,纳尼亚的国王和王后,你们将是纳尼亚、各个岛屿及阿钦兰许多国王的父母。要公正、仁慈、勇敢。祝福你们。”
      大家全都欢呼、狂吠、嘶呜,或拍打翅膀,或发出喇叭一样的声音。国王夫妇站起来,表情庄严,略带羞涩,但羞涩使他们看上去更加高贵。迪格雷正在欢呼,耳边响起阿斯兰低沉的声音:
      “看!”
      每个人或动物都转过头去,十分惊喜地深吸了一口气。一棵显然是才生出来的树挺立在几步开外的地方,枝桠已覆盖到他们头上。那棵树一定是当他们忙着给国王和王后加冕时静悄悄地长起来的,就像挂在旗杆上的旗子升上去时那么迅捷。它伸出的树枝投下了一片光,而不是一片阴影。每一片叶子下,隐约看见犹如星星般的银色苹果。然而,是它发出的气味而不是它的形象使他们深吸了一口气。一瞬间,你很难再想别的事了。
      “亚当的儿子,”阿斯兰说,“你栽得很好。你们,纳尼亚的公民,保卫这棵树是你们的首要任务,因为它就是你们的盾。我跟你们说的那个女巫已经逃到北边的山里去了;她会在那儿住下来,靠邪恶的魔法越长越强壮。但只要这棵树枝繁叶茂,她就决不敢进入纳尼亚。她不敢走到离这棵树一百里以内,因为这棵树的气味能给你们带来欢乐、生命和健康,对她来说,却是死亡、恐惧和绝望。”
      每个人和动物都庄严地凝视着那棵树,突然,阿斯兰头一甩(毛发上金光闪烁),紧紧地盯着孩子们。“什么事,孩子们?”它说。因为它看见他们正低声耳语并互相用肘轻轻推挤。
      “啊——阿斯兰,阁下,”迪格雷红着脸说,“我忘了告诉你,女巫已经吃了一个苹果,跟这树上结的一模一样。”他没有完全说出真实的想法,但波莉马上替他说了。(和她相比,他更害怕被人看成傻瓜。
      “所以,我们认为,阿斯兰,”她说,“一定出了问题,她不会真正在乎那些苹果的味道的。”
      “你为什么这么想,夏娃的女儿?”狮子问。
      “唔,她吃了一个。”
      “孩子,”它回答说,“这样一来,所有剩下的苹果对她来说都很可怕。对那些在错误的时间、用错误的方法摘苹果、吃苹果的人,就会产生这样的结果。果子很好,但他们以后会永远厌恶它。”
      “哦,我明白了,”波莉说,“我想,因为她摘得不对,苹果对她就不起作用,我是说,就不会使她永远年轻等等。”
      “啊,不,”阿斯兰摇着头说,“会的,事物本身的规律不会变。她如愿以偿了,她像女神一样有永不枯竭的力量和无尽的天年。但如果一个人有一颗邪恶的心,活多久就会烦恼多久,她已经开始懂得这一点了。他们这些人要什么有什么,但他们不见得总喜欢这样。”
      “我——我自己差点儿吃了一个,阿斯兰。”迪格雷说,“我——我会……?”
      “你会的,孩子,”阿斯兰说,“因为苹果总是要起作用的——必须起作用——但不会对那些为了自己的私欲而摘它的人有好结果。如果任何一位纳尼亚公民不听劝告,偷一个苹果,然后栽在这里保卫纳尼亚,当然它就会保卫纳尼亚。但是,它会把纳尼亚变成恰恩那样强大而残酷的帝国,而不是我所希望的这种友爱的国家。女巫还诱惑你干另一件事,不是吗,我的孩子?”
      “是的,阿斯兰。她要我摘一个苹果带回家给妈妈。”
      “要知道,这也会治好她的病,但不会给你或她带来欢乐。如果你那样做了,总有一天,你和她回想起这件事时,会说,当初还不如病死的好。”
      眼中的泪水噎得迪格雷说不出话来。他放弃了救妈妈性命的全部希望;但同时他也明白,狮子对于会发生的一切都了如指掌,也许有些事情比一个你所爱的人去世还要可怕。这时,阿斯兰又说:
      “如果偷一个苹果,结果就和我刚刚说的那样。但现在不会发生这样的事。我现在给你的苹果会带来欢乐。在你们的世界里,它不会使人长生不老,但能够治病。去
      吧,从树上摘一个苹果给你妈妈。”
      一时间,迪格雷简直被弄糊涂了。好像整个世界都颠倒混乱了。然后,他仿佛做梦一样,向那棵树走去,国王和王后为他欢呼,动物们也都为他欢呼。他摘下苹果,放进口袋,回到阿斯兰身边。.
      “对不起,”他说,“我们可以回家了吗?”他忘了说“谢谢”,但他有这个意思,而阿斯兰也理解他。
