Madame Vulpes
Leeuwenhoekhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201206/201206201124003449726.mp3After a moment, Madame Vulpes' hand began to shake so hard the table move. She said the spirit was now holding her hand and would write me a message.
I gave her paper and a pencil. She wrote something and gave the paper to me. The message read: "I am here. Question me." It was signed "Leeuwenhoek."
I couldn't believe my eyes. The name was the same one I had written on my piece of paper. I was sure that an ignorant woman like Madame Vulpes would not know who Leeuwenhoek was. Why would she know the name of the man who invented the microscope?
Quickly, I wrote a question on another piece of paper. "How can I create the perfect lens?" Leeuwenhoek wrote back: "Find a diamond of one hundred and forty carats. Give it a strong electrical charge. The electricity will change the diamond's atoms. From that stone you can form the perfect lens."
I left Madame Vulpes' house in a state of painful excitement. Where would I find a diamond that large? All my family's money could not buy a diamond like that. And even if I had enough money, I knew that such diamonds are very difficult to find.过了一会儿，Madame Vulpes的手开始剧烈抖动，连桌子都动了。她说一个灵魂正在控制她的手想到写下传达给我的信息。
我把纸和笔给她。她写了些东西给我。上面写道：“我在这。有什么问题问我。”署名写到“Leeuwenhoek”。
我不敢相信自己的眼睛。这正是我刚在另一张纸上写下的名字。我很确信一个无知的女人，比如像Madame Vulpes，是不可能知道Leeuwenhoek是谁的。为什么她知道显微镜发明家的名字？
很快，我在另一张纸上写了一个问题。“我怎么才能制造完美的镜头呢？”Leeuwenhoek回道：“去寻找一个140克拉的钻石。给它加载强大的电荷。电流将改变钻石的原子。你就可以把它塑造成完美镜头。”
我怀着痛苦的兴奋离开了Madame Vulpes的家。我去哪找那么大的钻石？我家所有的积蓄也买不了那样一个钻石。并且，就算我有足够多的钱，我知道那样一个钻石是非常不好找到的。
