Pencil: You know, I‘m really sorry.

Eraser: For what? You didn‘t do anything wrong.

Pencil: I‘m sorry, cause you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller everytime.

Eraser: That‘s true, but I don‘t really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I‘ll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one, I‘m actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

鉛筆：我想說(shuō)，我真的很抱歉。

橡皮：為什么？你沒(méi)有做錯(cuò)事情啊。

鉛筆：對(duì)不起，每次都是因?yàn)槲叶B累你受到傷害。我犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)候，你總是會(huì)幫我糾正，但在幫助我的同時(shí)，你消耗的卻是自己的身體。你看看，你已經(jīng)快要消失了。

橡皮：沒(méi)錯(cuò)，但是真的沒(méi)關(guān)系。我生來(lái)就是為了幫助你，糾正你的錯(cuò)誤，即使有一天我會(huì)因此消失，而你也會(huì)找到新的朋友，繼續(xù)如我一樣毫無(wú)保留地幫助你。我其實(shí)很開(kāi)心能在你身邊，履行我的使命。所以，不要傷心了，我可不想看到你難過(guò)的樣子啊。
