太史某翁,忘其姓氏,晝臥齋中,忽有小鹵簿,出自堂陬。馬大如蛙,人細如指。小儀仗以數十隊。一官冠皂紗,着繡襆,乘肩輿,紛紛出門而去。公心異之,竊疑睡眼之訛。頓見一小人返入舍,擕一氈包大如拳,竟造床下。白言:“家主人有不腆之儀,敬獻太史。”言已,對立,即又不陳其物。少間又自笑曰:“戔戔微物,想太史亦無所用,不如即賜小人。”太史頷之。欣然擕之而去。後不複見。惜太史中餒,不曾詰所來。
小官人
有个太史某翁,忘了他的姓氏,白天躺在斋中,忽然有小卤簿,从堂角出来。马大如蛙,人细如指。小仪仗以数十队。一个官戴黑纱帽,着绣幞,乘肩舆,纷纷出门而去。公心里奇异,私下疑心是睡眼的错觉。顿时见一个小人返回进舍,携一个毡包大如拳,径直到床下。说:"家主人有不腆的薄礼,敬献太史。"说完,对面站着,却又不陈列那东西。过了一阵又自己笑着说:"这点微物,想太史也用不上,不如就赐给小人。"太史点头。欣然携着它离去。后来不再见。可惜太史气度狭小,没有追问它从何而来。
An old gentleman who was a Grand Historian—I have forgotten his name—was lying in his study one day when suddenly a little cortege issued from a corner of the hall. The horses were as big as frogs and the men as small as fingers, with several score of tiny outriders. An official in a black gauze cap and embroidered robe, carried in a little sedan, passed in a bustle out of the door. The gentleman, astonished, thought his eyes must have deceived him in his drowsiness. But presently a little man came back into the room, carrying a felt bundle the size of a fist, and went straight to the foot of the bed. "My master," he said, "sends you a humble present, and begs you to accept it, Grand Historian." So saying, he stood facing him, but did not offer the thing. After a moment he smiled to himself. "This paltry trifle," he said, "I suppose is of no use to the Grand Historian; it were better to give it to me." The gentleman nodded, and the little man went off with it, well pleased. He was never seen again. It was a pity the Grand Historian was so mean-spirited that he never asked where the creature came from.
