The Girl in the Pagoda | 宝塔中的女孩

English Original

A beautiful girl lived in Luoyang, where a very tall pagoda stood. One hot day, as she sat under a big tree, a sudden strong wind swept her into the sky.

Her family was heartbroken.

When the girl awoke, she found herself at the pagoda's summit, facing a young man. "Will you marry me?" he asked. "No, I want to go home," she refused. Angered, the young man declared, "Then you will stay in this pagoda."

He visited her daily, but her answer remained the same.

One day, looking out an open window, the girl saw the young man transform into a monster. Terrified, she later spotted a kind man below. "Help!" she cried, but he didn't hear. Desperate, she threw her clothes out the window. Seeing them, the man looked up, spotted the girl, and ran for help.

The next day, the villagers rushed to the pagoda. The girl's brother struck the monster, which then flew away into the sky. They rescued the girl. "I missed you so much," she told her brother. The village celebrated with song and dance for days.


中文翻译

洛阳住着一位美丽的女孩,城里有一座高耸的宝塔。一个炎热的日子,女孩正坐在大树下,一阵狂风突然将她卷上了天。

她的家人悲痛欲绝。

当女孩醒来时,发现自己身在宝塔之巅,面前站着一位年轻男子。"你愿意嫁给我吗?"他问道。"不,我想回家,"她拒绝了。男子勃然大怒,宣称:"那你就留在这座塔里吧。"

他每天都来见她,但女孩始终没有改变主意。

一天,女孩从一扇敞开的窗户望出去,竟看到那年轻男子变成了一个怪物。她惊恐万分。后来,她看到塔下有一位善良的男子。"救命!"她呼喊,但对方没有听见。情急之下,她把衣服扔出窗外。男子看到衣服,抬头发现了塔顶的女孩,便立刻跑去求救。

第二天,村民们赶到宝塔。女孩的哥哥击中了怪物,怪物随即天空逃走了。他们救出了女孩。"我好想你,"她对哥哥说。整个村庄欢歌载舞,庆祝了许多天。
