Chapter 36 31．smart dream

When he got up in the morning, Stubb took Flask and said mysteriously and somewhat hilariously: "I said, Flask, I had a strange dream last night. I've never had a dream like this before." "Is it a dream of love, a dream of wealth, or a dream of misfortune?" Flask joked. "Neither, it wouldn't be surprising if that were the case." Stubb denies it. "Look at Captain Ahab's shining toothed leg. My dream is related to that magical thing!" "Oh, what the hell is that?" Flask also became interested. "I dreamed that Captain Ahab and I were fighting with each other's feet."

"How dare you?" cried Flask. "Listen to me, don't interrupt me." Stubb stopped Flask from interjecting, and went on talking. "At first, for some unknown reason, he kicked me with his fangs, and then, not showing weakness, I began to kick him with my feet, and believe me, Flask, I did kick him." "However, when my foot kicked out and hit his toothed leg, something strange happened, and my foot was knocked back firmly, as if it had hit a stone wall." "No, it was like a pyramid, and though I kicked and kicked and kicked, Captain Ahab didn't budge."

"I was like a big fool. I kicked like crazy for a long time, and the more I kicked, the more angry I got." "But it's true that I'm not really angry inside, even though I'm kicking like one, and my face is full of exasperation." "While I was kicking him, I couldn't help comforting myself by saying that Captain Ahab kicked me with his artificial leg, and the artificial leg is different from the real one, so it's not really kicking, at best it's like He was hitting me with his cane." "In this way, my sense of being insulted disappeared immediately. In fact, I thought so from the beginning, so it seemed like a game from the beginning."

"I just kicked the pyramid one foot after another, staring at his teeth." "What a beautiful toothed leg that is, especially its tail end, which is so delicate and small. It was just now that it fell on my leg, which made me so bearable. If I change it Bigfoot farmer, that's really painful!" Stubb went on. "While I was jokingly kicking and kicking the pyramid, a monster came." "This monster is an old mermaid with hair all over its body and a big hump on its back." "The monster came and grabbed my shoulders and knocked me down in one fell swoop."

"'What are you doing?' the monster asked me." "At first I was terrified, fell to the ground and stared at it in a daze, and it took me a while to gather myself together." "'What's none of your business?' I started to get a little angry, 'Do you want to kick me too?'" "'That's all right,' said the monster. He turned his buttocks, bent down, and pulled away the seaweed that was his pants, and exposed his buttocks for me to kick. "When I looked closely, I was shocked. It turned out that its buttocks were full of spikes, densely packed, which made people scared and disgusted."

"I'd better not kick. I retract my outstretched foot." "'That's smart, Stubb.' The monster complimented me." "I stretched out my legs and wanted to kick the pyramid again. At this time, the monster cried: 'You can't kick him, you can't kick the holy thing, although he kicked you with his teeth, but that is exactly Your glory, what have you to complain about?'" "'You know, in ancient England, it was an honor for the queen to slap whomever she slapped. Even the marquess thought so, because then they could get medals, and so did you, you let Captain Ahab use his proud Kicked, and you've become a wise man!"'"

"After the monster finished speaking, it disappeared as soon as it turned around. When I was about to chase after it, I turned over and realized that I was on a hanging bunk." "What do you think of my dream, Flask." asked Stubb, somewhat complacently. "No, I think it's a stupid thing." Flask was not polite. "Maybe so, but anyway, I'm already a wise man." Stubb is proud of his dream.
