The Crown in the Moat

The Crown in the Moat

护城河中的王冠

Tom hurried to the moat. Dirk stood with some servants. “ What took you so long?” Dirk scowled. “ Princess Mary is waiting for you! ”

汤姆急忙走向护城河。 德克和几个仆人站在一起。 “你怎么花了这么长时间？”德克愁眉苦脸。 “玛丽公主在等你！”

“ Princess Mary?” Tom looked over. A beautiful young woman stood near the water. She held a handkerchief as she sobbed.

“玛丽公主？”汤姆看了看。 一位美丽的年轻女子站在水边。 她一边抽泣一边拿着手帕。

Tom hurried over to the beautiful princess. “ What’s wrong?” Tom asked. “ My royal crown! ” said Princess Mary. “ It fell in the moat! ”

汤姆急忙走向美丽的公主。 “怎么了？”汤姆问。 “我的王冠！”玛丽公主说。 “它掉进了护城河！”

“ Now, now, Princess, ” Dirk said. He flashed an evil smile at Tom. “ The royal wizard will get it out at once. Isn’t that right, Tom?”

“现在，现在，公主，”德克说。 他对汤姆露出邪恶的微笑。 “皇家巫师会马上把它弄出来。对吗，汤姆？”

“ That’s right, ” Tom mumbled. He stepped closer to the moat. The water looked dark and murky.

“没错，”汤姆喃喃地说。 他走近护城河。 水看起来又黑又浑浊。
