英语故事:一只特立独行的青蛙

Wanda,  the neighborhood witch, was a good witch and had  been one for about 221 years. Her fondest dream was to become a fairy godmother. She had been going to the Fairy Godmother Academy for 103 years, learning fairy godmother magic: how  to turn pumpkins into coaches, how to make things vanish  in clouds of smoke, even how to change mice into horses and footmen.
                   
Just that very morning the principal of the Academy had  said Wanda was ready for her final test. She was to change  the first animal she met into something else. The animal  was to be so happy at becoming whatever it became that it  would say, “Oh, happy day! I’m a ____.” If it did, Wanda would pass the test. She would become a fairy godmother, with a sparkling pink dress, a golden crown, and a magic wand tipped with a shining star.
                   
However, if she failed, she would have to start school all over again—all    103 years of it.
                   
“Good luck,” the principal said as Wanda left the Academy.  

旺达是附近镇上一位善良的巫婆，她干着一行已经整整221年了。旺达最大的梦想就是有朝一日能成为一位仙女教母。为了实现理想，她花费了103年的时间，在仙女教母学院刻苦学习，掌握了不少仙女教母的魔法，比如：如何将南瓜变成南瓜车；如何让东西化作一缕青烟神奇地消失，甚至还学会了如何将老鼠变成马或者仆人。

就在学业全部结束的最后一个早晨，校长通知旺达准备迎接最后一项测试。在这项测试里，旺达被要求对今天出门后，所遇到的第一个动物施加魔法，无论这只动物被变成什么，这只动物必须说一句：“啊哈！真是一个开心的日子，我是一个——”，如果它真的说了，旺达就算通过了测试，她将能穿上粉红闪光的裙子，戴上一顶金色的皇冠，拿着一根镶着水晶星的魔法棒，成为一名仙女教母。

相反，如果失败了，一切就得重新开始——旺达将回到学校再学习103年。

“祝你好运！”校长对正准备离开学院的旺达说。
