A
long time ago, there was a happy prince and princess in a country. They took
care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too.
Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried
about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.
One day, one of the officials found out the
couple's worry and told them, "Prince, I heard that there is a magic
charm(吉祥饰物), and
it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic
charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear." "Is it true?
Where can I find that charm?" The prince asked him joyfully. "There
is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him."
The couple visited the old man, and asked
for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he
knew everything and said, "Travel all around the world. Then, when you
meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you
keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away."
The couple appreciated the old man's
kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and
heard about a happy knight (骑士) and his wife in a town. They
went to visit the knight. "Are you really happy like the rumor?" Then
the knight answered. "Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and
problem is that we didn't have any children."
They had to find an absolutely happy
couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were
famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they
were really happy. The couple answered. "Yes, we are very happy. But we
have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a
peaceful day. We worry too much about our children."
They could not get a magic charm this time
too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple
in the world.
One day, the prince couple met a shepherd(牧羊人)and
his wife in a big field.
……
Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince
couple decided to go back.
答案: One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field. The shepherd was driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. The moment the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly, kissing and embracing each of them by turns. Knowing that this was known to be the happiest family they were looking for, the prince couple approached them and asked politely "I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?" But the happiest shepherd couple felt confused and said "We would like to help you but we don't wear any underwear." Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. Immediately they returned to their country they visited the old wise man, saying that the magic charm was nowhere to be found. The old man smiled and said "Well is our trip a vain effort?" The prince couple thought to themselves for a while and finally, they realized that the true magic charm was in their mind, and happiness depends on themselves. Then they held hands firmly and looked in each other's eyes, knowing that they would never be unhappy whatever came their way.
