The Frog Prince 青蛙王子
Many, many years ago, there lived a king. He had many beautiful daughters. And the youngest one was very lovely, and even the sun was surprised to see her when he shone on her face.
Near the king's castle lay a dark, gloomy forest. In the middle of the forest there was a fountain.
One day, the king' s daughter went into the forest when it was very hot. She sat down on the side of the cool fountain. Then she began to toss a golden ball in the air, and catch it. It was a most interesting game to her.
Once, however, the king' s daughter failed to catch the golden ball. It fell on the ground, and rolled into the water.
The princess followed it with her eyes, but soon it disappeared. The water was very deep and she could not see the bottom.
Then she cried aloud, and began to weep. Soon she heard a voice. It said, "Why are you weeping, princess? Your tears can melt even the stones!"
She looked around and saw a frog. He was stretching his thick ugly head out of the water.
"Oh, there you are, old waterpaddler," she said. "I am crying for the loss of my golden ball. It has fallen into into the fountain."
很久很久以前,有一位國王,他有很多美麗的女兒。而小女兒更是楚楚動人,連太陽照在她臉上時都會覺得驚訝。
在國王的城堡附近有一片幽暗的森林。森林中央有一座噴水池。
有一天,天氣很熱,國王的小女兒到森林里去。她坐在清涼的噴水池旁邊。然后她開始往空中拋金球,再把它接住。對她來說,這是非常有趣的游戲。 文章轉(zhuǎn)自www MINGREN520.CN
然而,有一次國王的女兒沒能將球接住。它掉在地上,然后滾進(jìn)水中。
公主的眼光追隨著它,不久它就消失了。水非常深,她見不到底。
這時她大聲喊叫,開始哭了起來。不久她聽到一個聲音說:“你為什么哭呢,公主?你的眼淚甚至能把石頭溶化掉?!?她四處看了一下,看到了一只青蛙,它那肥厚而又丑陋的腦袋正伸出水面。她說:“哦,原來是你這劃水家伙在這兒。我哭是因為我的金球不見了。它掉到噴水池里去了?!?"Then weep no more," said the frog. "I can get it for you. But what will you give me if I fetch your plaything?"
"Oh, I will give you anything, dear frog," she replied. "What will you want----my dresses, my pearls and jewels, or my golden crown?"
"I don't want any of them," answered the frog. "Your clothes, your pearls and your jewels, or even your golden crown, are nothing to me. I want you to love me, and let me be your companion. I'd like to sit at your table, eat from your golden plate, and drink out of your cup, and sleep in your nice bed. If you promise me all this, I will dive down into the water and bring up your pretty golden ball."
“Oh, yes," she replied. "I will promise you anything if only you bring back my ball."
But she thought to herself that a silly frog like him could not be fit to associate with mankind.
