Harris finds his feet
這個故事內容簡單但很有啟示性，適合3歲左右的小孩子閱讀。主要通過一個小兔子和它祖父對話和生活行為展示如何在成長發現自我。故事的最後又從一個實例中揭示出生活中最殘酷也是最需要的勇氣的地方-我們每個人其實都是孤獨的，最終要自己面對一切好與壞的境遇。
Harris was a very small hare with very big feet.
哈裡是一隻小兔子,可它卻長了一雙大腳。
"Why do I have such enormous feet, Grandad?" Harris sighed.
"All hares have big feet, young Harris," said Grandad with a whiskery smile. "I'll show you why."
「為什麼我有一雙這麼大的腳呢，爺爺？」哈裡小聲地問。
「所有的野兔都有大腳，小哈裡，」爺爺微笑著回答。「讓我來告訴你為什麼吧。」
Grandad hopped high into the sky.
Harris copied.
His small, clumsy bounces grew bigger... and better... and higher... until he could spring, like Grandad, into the air.
爺爺跳起來,它被彈到高高的天上。哈裡也學著爺爺的樣子跳。他跳的不高, 樣子也很笨拙,不過, 慢慢地它跳的越來越高,越來越好，直到他能像爺爺一樣跳起來, 此次跳到了到天上。
Then Grandad took Harris up, up, up to the very tops of the mountains.
"With your strong feet," he said, "you can hop to the top of the world……
然後，爺爺帶著哈裡跳呀跳呀, 一直跳來了山頂上。「用你的大腳，」他說，「甚至能跳到世界之巔...」
and look out where the birds fly, as the wind tickles your whiskers."
「......看到鳥兒飛去了哪裡，還有風輕輕撓你的鬍子。」
Grandad showed Harris all the best things. Like how to dig a cool resting place in the earth when the days were hot.
爺爺給哈裡一一展示了大腳的好處。比如, 天熱的時候，怎樣用大腳在地上挖一個涼快的洞用來休息。
They stretched out together, through long, lazy afternoons, listening to the insects buzzing and humming around them.
"Look, Grandad!" Harris said. "My feet can shade me from the sun!"
他們盡情伸展開身體, 整個長長的懶洋洋的下午，都在傾聽著周圍的蟲子嗡嗡嚶嚶地歌唱。「看，爺爺！」哈裡說。「我的腳能擋住太陽呢！」
Ever day Harris learned more about his world.
每天哈裡都能學到更多的東西.
When a wolf came near Grandad sat still as a stone. "The most important thing about your big feet," he whispered, "is they help you to run... very fast."
一隻狼靠近了，爺爺還坐在那兒, 平靜地像塊石頭。「你的大腳最大的用處是,，」爺爺輕聲說，「幫你跑, 飛快地跑」。
So Harris ran, feeling the bounce in his feet and the stretch in his legs. He ran faster and faster... as fast as fast... until...
於是,哈裡跑啊跑啊, 它的腳很有彈性, 它的腿也拉得很直, 它跑得越來越快, 儘可能地快,直到……..
he was on his own.
最後只剩下了它自己。
"Grandad!" Harris cried, hopping back. "Why aren't you running with me?"
"Because I'm growing old, little Harris. It's your turn to run. The world is yours to explore."
「爺爺！」哈裡叫起來，它跑回去。「為什麼你不跟我一起跑呢？」 「因為我老了，小哈裡。現在該輪到你跑了，這世界是你的了。「
And Harris ran, leaping over streams and bouncing through meadows on his big, strong feet that would take him to the end of the world... and back home again.
哈裡跑啊跑啊， 他躍過小河，跳過草地，用他那大大的，很有力的腳，那雙能將他帶到世界的盡頭的大腳…當然它的大腳還會帶它回到家裡。
這個故事是讀給小朋友的，其實也很適合成年人。成年人會在生活中被煩惱和壓力逼迫而忘記了生命的初衷，生命本來就是一次終身成長，也是一場冒險，要保持旺盛的求知慾和生命力，無論到什麼時候都要記得自己來這個世界的目的，無非是盡情的感受一次，放飛一次。我們可以像這個小故事中的小兔子一樣去高山上奔跑，也可以自由的在草原上馳騁，無論在哪個年齡，忠於自我內心的需求都是最重要的。
