全書的最後一段，真的很感人。
I have never been back to Ozarks. All I have left are my dreams and memories,
but if God is willing, some day I'd like to go back - back to those beautuful
hills. I'd like to walk again on the trails I walked in my boyhood days.
Once again I’d like to face a mountain breeze and smell the wonderful scent
of the redbuds, the papaws, and the dogwoods. With my hands I’d like to
caress the cool white bark of a sycamore. I'd like to take a walk far back
in the flinty hills and search for a souvenir, an old double-bitted ax stuck
deep in the side of a white oak tree.I know the handle has long since rotted
away with time. Perhaps the rusty frame of a coal-oil lantern still hangs
there on the blade.
I'd like to see the old home place, the barn and the rail fences. I'd like to
pause under the beautiful red oaks where my sisters and I played in our
childhood. I'd like to walk up to the hillside to the graves of my dogs.
I'm sure the red fern has grown and has completely covered the two little
mounds. I know it is still there, hiding its secret beneath those long, red
leaves, but it wouldn't be hidden from me for part of my life is buried
there, too.
Yes, I know it is still there, for in my heart I believe the legend of the
sacred red fern."
