[00:18.68]The Bells
[00:25.85]教堂钟声
[00:36.77]One night the sweeper was awakened¹ from his dreams
[00:40.63]by the sound of the parish bells ringing out loudly
[00:44.53]in the darkness.
[00:46.80]He leapt to his feet,
[00:48.34]fearing some emergency,
[00:51.41]and then realized that his wife and children
[00:54.27]had not stirred in their beds.
[00:57.41]Remembering the evil priest's last words,
[01:00.60]the sweeper felt sure
[01:02.77]that the mysterious ringing of the bells
[01:05.44]was for his ears alone,
[01:08.52]to lead him to the treasure.
[01:11.33]Taking his shovel²,
[01:12.61]the sweeper followed the sound of the church bells
[01:15.46]up into the hills.
[01:17.85]He was gasping³ for breath
[01:20.25]when he reached the source of the sound.
[01:23.51]He was on a wide ledge⁴ overlooking the valley.
[01:28.12]Two trees guarded the spot,
[01:30.35]and it was beside these trees
[01:32.69]that the glowing, ghostly church bells hovered⁵.
[01:36.69]Taking his shovel,
[01:38.65]the poor sweeper dug a deep hole
[01:41.16]among the roots of the trees.
[01:44.22]After several moments,
[01:45.87]his shovel hit something hard!
[01:49.37]Eagerly, he swept the dirt away
[01:52.23]from the object and found a small chest.
[01:56.47]He hauled it out of the ditch with trembling hands,
[02:00.31]placed it on a rock,
[02:02.33]and broke the lock with the edge of his shovel.
[02:05.93]when he opened it,
[02:07.13]piles of yellow gold met his dazzled eyes.
[02:12.16]He gathered up a handful of coins,
[02:14.90]reveling in the weight of so much money.
[02:18.69]The coins were cool to his touch,
[02:21.72]and he felt the smoothness of the metal
[02:23.98]as he rubbed the coins between his fingers.
[02:27.78]And that was when he heard the moaning...
