经典童话英语故事带翻译：青蛙王子

In olden times when wishing still helped one, there lived a

king whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was

so beautiful that the sun itself, which has seen so much, was

astonished whenever it shone in her face. Close by the king's

castle lay a great dark forest, and under an old lime-tree in the

forest was a well, and when the day was very warm, the

king's child went out into the forest and sat down by the

side of the cool fountain, and when she was bored she took a

golden ball, and threw it up on high and caught it, and this

ball was her favorite play thing.

Now it so happened that on one occasion the princess's

golden ball did not fall into the little hand which she was

holding up for it, but on to the ground beyond, and rolled

straight into the water. The king's daughter followed it with

her eyes, but it vanished, and the well was deep, so deep

that the bottom could not be seen. At this she began to cry,

and cried louder and louder, and could not be comforted. And

as she thus lamented someone said to her, "What ails you,

king's daughter? You weep so that even a stone would show

pity."

She looked round to the side from whence the voice came,

and saw a frog stretching forth its big, ugly head from the water.

"Ah, old water-splashier, is it you," she said, "I am weeping

for my golden ball, which has fallen into the well." "Be quiet,

and do not weep," answered the frog, "I can help you, but

what will you give me if I bring your play thing up again?"

"Whatever you will have, dear frog," said she, "My clothes,

my pearls and jewels, and even the golden crown

which I am wearing." The frog answered, "I do not care for

your clothes, your pearls and jewels, nor for your golden

crown, but if you will love me and let me be your companion

and play-fellow, and sit by you at your little table, and eat

off your little golden plate, and drink out of your little

cup, and sleep in your little bed - if you will promise me

this I will go down below, and bring you your golden ball

up again."

"Oh yes," said she, "I promise you all you wish, if you will

but bring me my ball back again." But she thought, "How the

silly frog does talk. All he does is to sit in the water with the

other frogs, and croak. He can be no companion to any

human being."

But the frog when he had received this promise, put his head

into the water and sank down; and in a short while came

swimming up again with the ball in his mouth, and threw it on

the grass. The king's daughter was delighted to see her

pretty play thing once more, and picked it up, and ran away

with it. "Wait, wait," said the frog. "Take me with you. I

can't run as you can." But what did it avail him to scream

his croak, croak, after her, as loudly as he could. She did

not listen to it, but ran home and soon forgot the poor frog,

who was forced to go back into his well again.

The next day when she had seated herself at table with the

king and all the courtiers, and was eating from her little

golden plate, something came creeping splish splash, splish

princess, open the door for me." She ran to see who was
