IN THE beginning, Bartholomew Cubbins didn't have five hundred hats.

He had only one hat.It was an old one that had belonged to his father and his

father's father before him. It was probably the oldest and the plainest hat in the whole Kingdom of Didd, where Bartholomew Cubbins lived.But Bartholomew liked

it—especially because of the feather that always pointed straight up in the air.

The Kingdom of Didd was ruled by King Derwin. His palace stood high on the top of the mountain.

From his balcony, he looked down over the houses of all his subjects—first, over the spires of the noblemen's castles,across the broad roofs of the rich men's mansions, then over the little houses of the townsfolk, to the huts of the farmere far off in the fielde.

一開始，Bartholomew Cubbins 沒有五百頂帽子。

他只有一頂帽子，那是他父親和他父親的舊帽子。

父親的父親在他面前。 這可能是整個迪德王國中最古老、最樸素的帽子，巴塞洛繆·庫賓斯就住在那里。 但巴塞洛繆喜歡

它——尤其是因為那根羽毛總是筆直地懸在空中。

迪德王國由德溫國王統治。 他的宮殿高高聳立在山頂上。

他從陽臺上俯瞰所有臣民的房屋——首先是貴族城堡的尖頂，越過富人宅邸的寬闊屋頂，然后是市民的小房子，以及農民的小屋。 遠在外地。
