英语故事:一只特立独行的青蛙

2012-07-22来源:和谐英语




"Snapping  fingers!" exclaimed Wanda. “That’s it, Charley. That’s what I forgot!” She snapped her fingers, cried “Upsi-doodle!” and poof!  the castle and musicians disappeared and the prince became a little green frog.
                   
Charley hopped onto a lily pad. He looked at himself in the water.  “You did it, Wanda. Oh, happy day! I’m a frog.”
                   
Wanda smiled and thought to herself, “So I have to go back to school for another 103 years. Who cares? Charley’s happy, and that’s what really counts.”
                
Well,  it wasn’t exactly ‘Oh, happy day! I’m a prince,’but the principal of the Fairy Godmother Academy decided that ‘Oh, happy day! I’m a frog’ was close enough. Wanda hadn’t thought about herself. She had  only wanted to make Charley happy. Thinking about others  was the most important thing fairy godmothers had to do.
                   
The  principal waved her magic wand. Lo and behold, Wanda  the Witch became Wanda the Fairy Godmother . . . sparkling  pink dress, magic wand with a star, and all.

“打响指!”旺达猛叫一声,“就是它了,查理,这就是我忘记的东西!”她打了响指,跟着大叫道:“阿普斯——嘟嘟!”,只听“噗”的一生,城堡和乐队都消失了,王子也变回了一只绿色的小青蛙。

查理跳到一片荷叶上,他看着水中的自己的倒影,说:“旺达,你成功了,啊哈!真是一个开心的日子,我是一只青蛙。”

旺达微笑着对自己说:“看来我必须准备在学校度过下一个103年了,有什么要紧呢?只要查理开心,其他的都不重要。”

后来,虽然查理说出来的不是“啊哈!真是一个开心的日子,我是一位王子!”但是,学院校长最终决定“啊哈!真是一个开心的日子,我是一只青蛙。”也足够接近了。旺达没有替自己考虑,她一心想着让查理开心。“为他人着想”是作为一位仙女教母所须具备的最重要的品质。

校长挥动着他手中的魔法棒,你瞧,巫婆旺达变成了仙女教母旺达:粉红闪亮的长裙,镶着水晶星的魔法棒.......
