原文
"Oh, I think some parts of it are fine," conceded Davy. "That story
about Joseph now--it's bully. But if I'd been Joseph _I_ wouldn't have
forgive the brothers. No, siree, Anne. I'd have cut all their heads off.
Mrs. Lynde was awful mad when I said that and shut the Bible up and said
she'd never read me any more of it if I talked like that. So I don't
talk now when she reads it Sunday afternoons; I just think things and
say them to Milty Boulter next day in school. I told Milty the story
about Elisha and the bears and it scared him so he's never made fun of
Mr. Harrison's bald head once. Are there any bears on P.E. Island, Anne?
I want to know."
