【小編評注】一連串動作描寫，生動而形象，一直憨態可掬的小豬形象漸漸在讀者心中明晰起來。這便是童話的魅力，給孩子們的眼睛插上翅膀，讓大人們的目光落入這個世界柔軟與安寧的景象中。
【短語筆記】in a short time - 不久，一會兒，少頃
【例】A new daily will appear in a short time in our town.(一份新的日報不久將在本市發行。)

【小編評注】孩子心靈的柔軟因此而愈顯純凈，而成人世界的道理總是有些堅硬，冰冷和無奈。
【短語筆記】break down - 徹底失敗，崩潰，停止運轉，坍塌，(數據、觀點等)站不住腳
【例】Her health broke down under the pressure of work.(工作的壓力把她的身體弄垮了。)
