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,
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.

fallen into the well.

weep,
but what will you give me if I bring your
play thing up
again?

jewels, and even the golden crown
which
I am wearing.
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

I will go down below, and bring you your golden
ball up
again.
but bring me my
ball back again.
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.

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
splash, up the marble
staircase, and when it had got to the
top, it
knocked at the door and cried,
princess, open
the door for me.

opened the door, there sat the frog in
front
of it. Then she slammed the door to, in great
haste,

frightened. The king
saw plainly that her
heart was beating violently, and said,

by
the well, playing, my golden ball fell into the
water. And
because I cried so, the frog
brought it out again for me, and
because he so
insisted, I promised him he should be my
companion, but I never thought he would be
able to come out
of his water. And now he is
outside there, and wants to come
in to me.
In the meantime it knocked a second time, and
cried,
not know what you said to me
yesterday by the cool waters of
the well.
Princess, youngest princess, open the door for
me.
Then said the king,

and let him in.
and the frog hopped in and
followed her, step by step, to her
chair.
There he sat and cried,

the king commanded her to do it. Once

when he was on the table he said,
