即使是最坚强、最勇敢的人有时也会哭泣。这表明他们有一颗伟大的心，一颗能够同情他人的心。你很勇敢，马蒂亚斯。你已经为这么年轻的人做了伟大的事情。我只是一只简单的乡下田鼠，但我也能看到你的勇气和领导能力。燃烧的烙印指明了道路，你的火焰每天都变得更加明亮。没有人能像你一样，马蒂亚斯。你身上有伟大的标志。有一天，红墙和所有的土地都会亏欠你的。马蒂亚斯，你是一个真正的战士。
(Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep. It shows they have a great heart, one that can feel compassion for others. You are brave, Matthias. Already you have done great things for one so young. I am only a simple country-bred fieldmouse, but even I can see the courage and leadership in you. A burning brand shows the way, and each day your flame grows brighter. There is none like you, Matthias. You have the sign of greatness upon you. One day Redwall and all the land will be indebted to you. Matthias, you are a true Warrior.)
