The Bear and the Sisters | 熊与姐妹

English Original

Two sisters, Janny and Rose, were playing happily by a riverbank.

While running towards the foot of a hill, they suddenly saw a large brown bear standing before them. Terrified, they turned to flee.

"Please don't run! I won't hurt you. I am a man, not a bear," the bear called out. The girls watched as the bear stood up and its fur fell away, revealing a tall, handsome young man. "It is my fortune to meet you," he said. "You can save me."

"Who are you? How can we save you?" they asked.

"I am Scoff," he replied. "My parents do not know I am under a spell. They search for me, but I cannot speak to them. Let me explain."

"I was once a prince," the young man began. "One day, as I played by this river, an old woman approached. She spoke soothing words and threw a brown coat over me, transforming me into this bear. She declared, 'Only when you meet two girls by this river, and one agrees to be your wife, will you become human again.' Today, my luck has changed. If one of you is willing to marry me, you can break the spell."

The sisters' faces flushed. The younger sister, Rose, spoke up: "If it will save you, I will be your wife."

"Thank goodness!" the prince exclaimed. "Now we are as brother and sisters, and the witch's power over me is broken. Let us return home. My parents will be overjoyed."

The prince led the two sisters to his home. In time, he became king, and they all lived happily.


中文翻译

两姐妹,詹妮和罗斯,正在河岸边快乐地玩耍。

当她们跑向山脚时,突然看到一只棕色的大熊站在面前。她们吓坏了,转身就跑。

"请不要跑!我不会伤害你们。我是人,不是熊,"熊喊道。女孩们看着熊站起来,皮毛脱落,露出一位高大英俊的年轻人。"遇见你们是我的幸运,"他说。"你们可以救我。"

"你是谁?我们怎么救你?"她们问道。

"我是斯科夫,"他回答。"我的父母不知道我中了魔法。他们一直在寻找我,但我无法与他们交谈。让我解释。"

"我曾是一位王子,"年轻人开始讲述。"有一天,我在这河边玩耍时,一位老妇人走了过来。她说着安抚的话语,将一件棕色外套扔到我身上,把我变成了这只熊。她宣称:'只有当你在这河边遇见两位姑娘,并且其中一位愿意成为你的妻子时,你才能重新变回人形。'今天,我的运气改变了。如果你们中有一位愿意嫁给我,就能破除这个咒语。"

姐妹俩的脸红了。妹妹罗斯开口说道:"如果这能救你,我愿意成为你的妻子。"

"谢天谢地!"王子欢呼道。"现在我们就如兄妹一般,女巫对我的控制被打破了。我们回家吧。我的父母会欣喜若狂的。"

王子带着两姐妹回到了他的家。后来,他成为了国王,他们都过着幸福的生活。
