于是我觉得我也该去买♥♥一本了
So I thought it was time that I bought one.
我径直去了哈查兹

把钱放在了柜台上
put my shilling onto the counter.
如果您要 我会给您一本的
I would have given you one.
但我想像其他人那样去买♥♥
But I wanted to buy one like everyone else.
我该向你道歉 碧翠丝
Now, I owe you an apology, Beatrix.
你给我看你的书时 我只当那是乖女儿
When you showed me your books, all I saw was my little girl
拿着自己的得意画作 想要我夸赞
bringing me clever drawings for me to comment on.
你已经不小了 你是位艺术家了
You’re not a little girl anymore. You’re an artist.
真正的艺术家
