The Giant and the Little Girl | 巨人与小女孩

English Original

There once was a happy village where everyone lived in harmony. One day, a giant approached. The terrified villagers hid in their homes.

A little girl, ignoring her family's warnings, stepped out and walked toward the giant. As she did, a strange thing happened: the giant began to shrink. Soon, he was her size.

The girl gently picked him up. "What's your name?" she asked.

"My name is F-E-A-R!" he whispered. "When people are afraid of me, I grow into a giant. You are not afraid, so I stayed small. Please help me!"

"I will take you through the village," the girl said. "When people know the truth, they won't fear you. Look at me, and you'll stay small. But first, let's change your name. You should not be called FEAR."

"Will you hold my hand?" the giant asked. "And please, call me PAL."


中文翻译

从前有一个快乐的村庄,人们和谐共处。一天,一个巨人向村庄走来。惊恐的村民们都躲进了家里。

一个小女孩不顾家人的警告,走了出去,径直向巨人走去。就在这时,奇怪的事情发生了:巨人开始缩小,很快就变得和小女孩一样大。

女孩轻轻地把他抱起来,问道:“你叫什么名字?”

“我的名字叫‘恐惧’!”他低声说。“当人们害怕我时,我就会变成巨人。你不怕我,所以我就保持这么小。请帮帮我!”

“我会带你穿过村庄,”女孩说。“当大家知道真相后,就不会害怕你了。看着我就行,这样你就能保持现在的大小。但首先,我们得改改你的名字。你不应该叫‘恐惧’。”

“你能牵着我的手吗?”巨人请求道。“还有,请叫我‘朋友’吧。”
