鞋    匠    师    傅   

 鞋    匠    师    傅    个    子    矮    小   、 枯    瘦    如    柴    却    又    生    性    活    泼   ， 他    可    是    一    刻    也    闲    不    住   。 他    长    着    个    突    出    的    鼻    子    朝    上    翻    起   ， 有    着    一    张    灰    色    的    麻    脸   ， 留    着    一    头    灰    不    溜    秋    的    蓬    松    头    发   ， 和    一    双    不    停    左    右    闪    烁    的    小    眯    眼   。 他    什    么    都    看    在    眼    里   ， 对    什    么    都    吹    毛    求    疵   ； 他    对    什    么    都    清    楚   ， 而    且    总    是    他    有    理   。 他    走    在    大    街    上   ， 总    喜    欢    指    手    划    脚   ， 就    像    在    划    船    一    样   。 一    次    他    把    人    家    女    孩    子    提    的    桶    子    撞    到    了    半    空    中   ， 自    己    也    成    了    落    汤    鸡   。 他    却    边    抖    水   ， 边    对    女    孩    吼    道   ：" 你    这    蠢    货   ！ 没    看    见    我    就    走    在    你    后    头    吗   ？" 他    是    个    有    手    艺    的    鞋    匠   ， 干    活    时   ， 拔    起    线    来    总    是    很    用    劲   ， 站    得    离    他    不    远    的    人    准    会    挨    拳    头   。 没    有    哪    个    学    生    能    在    他    那    儿    干    上    一    个    月   ， 因    为    他    对    最    好    的    手    艺    也    要    挑    剔    找    岔   ， 不    是    说    缝    得    不    齐   ， 就    是    说    一    只    鞋    长    了   ； 不    是    说    一    只    鞋    跟    比    另    一    只    高   ， 就    是    说    皮    子    没    锤    够   。" 慢    着   ，" 他    对    学    徒    说   ，" 让    我    告    诉    你    怎    样    把    皮    子    锤    软   。" 说    着    他    就    操    起    根    皮    带   ， 在    学    徒    的    背    上    狠    狠    抽    几    鞭   。 他    把    他    们    全    叫    作    懒    虫   ， 而    他    自    己    也    没    干    多    少    活   ， 因    为    他    不    可    能    耐    得    住   。 如    果    他    妻    子    早    上    起    来    把    火    生    上   ， 他    就    会    跳    下    床    来   ， 光    着    脚    丫    子    冲    进    厨    房   ， 吼    道   ：" 你    要    把    我    的    屋    子    给    烧    了    吗   ？ 火    这    么    大   ， 可    以    考    熟    一    头    牛   。 你    以    为    柴    火    不    要    钱    的    吗   ？" 如    果    女    仆    站    在    洗    衣    桶    旁    说    笑   ， 他    就    骂    她    们   ， 说   ：" 你    们    这    些    呱    呱    叫    的    鹅   ， 有    活    不    干   ， 只    晓    得    搬    弄    事    非   ！ 怎    么   ， 用    的    是    新    肥    皂   ？ 真    是    可    怕    的    浪    费   ， 可    耻    的    懒    惰   ！ 你    们    只    想    保    养    手   ， 不    肯    好    生    地    搓    衣    服   。" 他    会    跳    上    去    踢    倒    装    满    肥    皂    水    的    桶   ， 整    个    厨    房    可    就    闹    水    了   。 如    果    有    人    造    房    子   ， 他    就    赶    紧    跑    到    窗    口    去    看    看   ，" 瞧   ， 他    们    又    在    用    永    远    干    不    了    的    红    砂    石   ！" 他    叫    着   ，" 住    在    里    面    不    生    病    才    怪   ！ 看    看    这    些    人    砖    砌    得    有    多    糟   ！ 另    外   ， 这    砂    浆    也    一    点    不    顶    用   ， 里    面    不    能    放    砂   ， 应    放    砾    石   ！ 等    这    屋    子    倒    塌    下    来    砸    了    人    头   ， 到    时    有    好    戏    看    了   。" 他    坐    了    下    来   ， 上    了    几    针    线   ， 又    跳    了    起    来   ， 解    开    围    裙   ， 叫    道   ，" 我    要    出    去   ， 劝    劝    他    们    讲    点    良    心   。" 他    碰    到    了    木    匠    们   ，" 这    是    什    么   ？" 他    喊    道   ，" 你    们    没    按    墨    线    干    活   ！ 你    想    横    梁    会    直    吗   ？ 一    下    就    会    散    架    的   ！" 他    从    一    个    木    匠    手    里    夺    过    斧    子    要    给    他    作    示    范   ， 可    是   ， 当    一    辆    装    满    泥    土    的    车    子    过    来    时   ， 他    扔    下    斧    子   ， 直    奔    站    在    车    边    的    农    民   ：" 你    是    不    是    糊    涂    了   ？" 他    说   ，" 谁    会    把    小    马    套    在    这    么    重    的    车    子    上   ？ 可    怜    的    小    东    西    不    当    场    压    死    才    怪    呢   ！" 农    民    没    理    他   ， 鞋    匠    师    傅    只    得    气    鼓    鼓    地    跑    回    他    的    作    坊   。 他    刚    坐    下   ， 学    徒    就    递    给    他    一    只    鞋   。" 哎   ， 这    又    是    什    么    东    西   ？" 他    一    声    尖    叫   ，" 难    道    我    没    教    过    你    别    把    鞋    底    切    得    这    么    宽    吗   ？ 谁    愿    意    要    这    种    鞋   ？ 除    了    鞋    底    什    么    都    没    有    了   。 我    重    申    一    切    都    要    按    我    的    吩    咐    做   ！"" 师    傅   ，" 学    徒    回    答    说   ，" 您    说    得    很    对   ， 这    只    鞋    是    只    坏    的   ， 可    是   ， 它    是    出    自    您    之    手   ， 刚    才    您    跳    起    来    时    把    它    碰    到    桌    子    底    下   ， 我    只    是    把    他    拣    起    来   ， 就    是    天    上    的    神    仙    说   ， 您    也    不    会    相    信   。"

 一    天    晚    上   ， 鞋    匠    师    傅    梦    见    自    己    死    了   ， 正    向    天    堂    走    去   。 到    了    天    堂   ， 他    使    劲    地    敲    门   ，" 真    奇    怪   ！" 他    自    言    自    语    说   ，" 他    们    的    门    上    连    个    门    环    也    没    有   ， 叫    人    敲    得    指    关    节    痛   。" 使    徒    彼    得    打    开    了    门   ， 想    看    是    谁    这    么    急    着    要    进    来   。

" 啊   ， 是    你    呀   ， 鞋    匠    师    傅   ，" 他    说   ，" 好    吧   ， 我    让    你    进    来   ， 可    你    得    改    掉    你    这    坏    毛    病   ， 不    要    找    天    堂    里    任    何    东    西    的    岔    子   ， 不    然    你    会    倒    霉    的   。"" 用    不    着    你    警    告    我   ，" 鞋    匠    师    傅    说   ，" 我    知    道    好    歹   ， 再    说   ， 这    儿    的    一    切   ， 谢    天    谢    地   ， 都    是    完    美    的   。 这    与    尘    世    不    同   ， 无    可    挑    剔   。" 于    是    他    踏    了    进    去   ， 在    广    阔    的    天    堂    里    四    处    游    荡   。 他    环    顾    四    周   ， 左    瞧    瞧   ， 右    瞅    瞅   ， 时    不    时    地    摇    摇    头   ， 口    里    嘀    咕    着    什    么   。 这    时   ， 他    瞧    见    了    两    个    天    使    抬    起    了    一    根    木    梁   ， 他    们    不    是    竖    着    抬    梁    木   ， 而    是    横    着    扛    着   。" 世    上    没    见    过    这    么    蠢    的    事   ！" 鞋    匠    师    傅    想   ， 可    他    并    没    有    说    什    么   ， 表    面    上    露    出    了    满    意    的    模    样   。" 反    正    结    果    一    样   ， 不    管    他    们    横    着    拿    还    是    竖    着    拿   ， 只    要    他    们    觉    得    合    适    就    行   ， 话    又    说    回    来   ， 我    的    确    没    看    见    他    们    撞    倒    什    么    东    西   。" 不    一    会    儿   ， 他    又    瞧    见    两    个    天    使    在    用    桶    从    井    里    打    水   ， 不    过    他    也    注    意    到    那    桶    是    漏    的   ， 水    从    四    面    八    方    流    了    出    来   。 原    来    他    们    是    在    给    大    地    浇    灌    雨    水   。" 得    了    吧   ，" 他    突    然    喊    道   ， 但    幸    亏    他    改    了    口    没    骂    出    来   ， 心    想   ，" 或    许    这    只    是    好    玩    吧   ， 但    如    果    只    为    了    消    遣   ， 那    天    堂    里    他    们    什    么    也    不    必    做   ， 只    是    闲    逛   。" 他    又    继    续    往    前    走   ， 看    到    了    一    辆    深    陷    在    泥    里    的    推    车   。" 难    怪   ，" 他    对    站    在    车    旁    的    人    说   ，" 谁    会    这    样    装    东    西   ？ 你    放    了    些    什    么    在    上    面   ？"" 良    好    的    愿    望   ，" 那    人    说   ，" 我    没    法    把    它    们    拉    到    正    道    上   ， 但    幸    亏    我    还    是    把    车    拉    了    上    来   ， 在    这    个    地    方    他    们    不    会    叫    我    陷    落    的   。" 果    然    来    了    个    天    使   ， 在    他    车    前    套    了    两    匹    马   。" 那    就    对    了   ，" 鞋    匠    师    傅    想   ，" 但    两    匹    还    不    够   ， 至    少    要    四    匹    才    能    把    车    拉    出    来   。" 这    时    另    一    个    天    使    又    牵    来    了    两    匹    马   ， 可    是    他    并    没    有    把    马    套    在    前    头   ， 而    是    套    在    车    后    面   。 这    下    鞋    匠    师    傅    再    也    忍    不    住    了   ，" 蠢    货   ！" 他    大    发    雷    霆   ，" 瞧    你    们    干    了    什    么    事   ？ 自    从    开    天    辟    地    以    来    有    谁    见    过    那    样    拉    车    子    的   ？ 可    是    你    们   ， 傲    慢    无    知   ， 自    欺    欺    人   ， 还    以    为    什    么    都    懂   ！" 他    还    想    一    个    劲    地    说    下    去   ， 一    位    天    堂    居    民    堵    住    了    他    的    喉    咙   ， 用    一    种    不    可    抗    拒    的    力    量    把    他    推    出    了    天    门   。 在    天    门    下   ， 鞋    匠    师    傅    回    过    头    朝    那    辆    车    望    去   ， 看    见    它    被    四    匹    长    着    翅    膀    的    马    拉    了    上    来   。 就    在    这    时   ， 鞋    匠    师    傅    醒    了   。" 天    堂    和    人    间    就    是    不    一    样   ，" 他    自    言    自    语    道   ，" 那    儿    有    许    多    事    情    是    情    有    可    原    的   。 但    是    谁    有    耐    心    看    着    四    匹    马    一    前    一    后    地    套    在    车    子    上    而    不    发    火    呢   ？ 再    说   ， 给    长    有    四    条    腿    的    马    装    上    一    对    翅    膀    本    来    就    是    画    蛇    添    足   ， 愚    蠢    之    至   。 我    得    起    身    了   ， 不    然    他    们    会    把    屋    子    弄    得    一    团    糟    的   。 我    没    有    当    真    死    去   ， 真    幸    运   ！"
