Wanda's Final Test | 仙女教母的最终考验

English Original

Wanda, a good witch of 221 years, dreamed of becoming a fairy godmother. After 103 years at the Fairy Godmother Academy, she faced her final test: transform the first animal she met into something else. The animal had to be so happy with its new form that it would exclaim, "Oh, happy day! I'm a..." Success meant earning her sparkling pink dress, golden crown, and star-tipped wand. Failure meant repeating all 103 years of school.

Her first encounter was Charley, a little green frog contentedly catching bugs by the pond. Eager to pass, Wanda immediately turned him into a handsome prince. However, Charley was horrified. He missed his frog life—catching flies with his long tongue, seeing in all directions, and sitting comfortably on lily pads. He demanded to be changed back.

Wanda, flustered, claimed to have forgotten the reverse spell. To appease him, she conjured a grand castle and a band of musicians, offering him a life of luxury and entertainment. Charley rejected it all, longing only for his simple frog existence.

In trying to understand his frustration, Wanda remembered the key to the reversal: snapping her fingers. She did so, and Charley was a frog again. Overjoyed, he cried, "Oh, happy day! I'm a frog!"

Wanda accepted her apparent failure, believing Charley's happiness was what truly mattered. The Academy principal, witnessing Wanda's selfless act, decided the outcome was close enough to a pass. The true lesson was thinking of others. With a wave of the principal's wand, Wanda the Witch finally became Wanda the Fairy Godmother.

旺达是一位善良的女巫,已有221岁。她最大的梦想是成为一名仙女教母。在仙女教母学院学习了103年后,她迎来了最终考验:将她遇到的第一个动物变成别的东西。该动物必须非常喜欢自己的新形态,并欢呼:“哦,快乐的一天!我是……” 成功,她将获得闪亮的粉色连衣裙、金色王冠和星顶魔杖。失败,则意味着重读整整103年的学业。

她遇到的第一个动物是查理,一只在池塘边快乐地用长舌头捉虫子的小绿蛙。急于通过考试的旺达立刻将他变成了一位英俊的王子。然而,查理吓坏了。他怀念自己的青蛙生活——用长舌头捉苍蝇、能同时看清各个方向、舒适地坐在睡莲叶上。他要求变回去。

旺达慌了神,声称忘记了逆转咒语。为了安抚他,她变出了一座宏伟的城堡和一队乐手,许诺给他奢华享乐的生活。查理拒绝了这一切,只渴望他简单的青蛙生活。

在试图理解查理的沮丧时,旺达想起了逆转的关键:打响指。她照做了,查理又变回了青蛙。他欣喜若狂地喊道:“哦,快乐的一天!我是青蛙!”

旺达接受了自己表面上的失败,认为查理的快乐才是最重要的。学院校长目睹了旺达无私的行为,判定这个结果已足够接近通过。真正的考验在于为他人着想。随着校长魔杖一挥,女巫旺达终于成为了仙女教母旺达。
