Chapter 1. The Miller's Daughter Once upon a time, there was a poor miller who loved to show off. He boasted about everything. I had a pretty daughter.

第一章 磨坊主的女儿 从前有个穷磨坊主特别爱炫耀，什么事都要吹牛皮。 我有个长得很漂亮的女儿。

Sometimes his posts were true, hello father! And sometimes they weren't, I am the best looking man around! One day on his way back from a hunt, the king rode through the miller's village. Suddenly he stopped, a beautiful girl was standing on the path.

有时候他说的是真的：“爸爸你好呀！” 有时候就不是：“我可是这附近最帅的男人！” 有一天国王打猎回来，骑马经过磨坊主住的村子。 他忽然停了下来，小路上站着个漂亮的姑娘。

What's your name? said the king, gazing at her. Her name is Anna, said the miller quickly. She's my daughter. And she can spin straw into gold? He added both things as usual. Really? asked the king. Yes, really! replied the miller, nodding his head. In that case, bring her to my castle! ordered the king and rode away.

“你叫什么名字呀？”国王盯着姑娘问道。 磨坊主连忙回答：“她叫安娜。” “她是我的女儿。” “她还能把稻草纺成金子呢！” 他像往常一样随口又加了这句话。 “真的吗？” 国王问。 “当然是真的！” 磨坊主点着头回答。 “既然这样，把她带到我的城堡来！” 国王吩咐完就骑马走了。

This is your chance, Anna !" cried the miller. The more the king sees your pretty face, the more he will want to marry you. You could be queen! The next morning, the miller took Anna to see the king. The castle walls were old and crumbling. Windows were broken and doors were missing. The king must be short of money! whispered the miller. You can go! The king commanded the miller. As for you, he said, turning to Anna, follow me!

“安娜，你的机会来了！”磨坊主大喊道。 “国王见你的漂亮脸蛋见得越多，就越想娶你。” “你说不定能当王后呢！” 第二天早上，磨坊主就带着安娜去见国王。 城堡的墙又旧又破，都快塌了。 窗户碎了，门也不见了。 磨坊主小声嘀咕：“国王肯定很缺钱！” “你可以走了。” 国王命令磨坊主。 他转头对安娜说：“至于你，跟我来！”

Chapter 2. The King's Test. The King led Anna down dark corridors and up twisting stairs. At last they reached a tiny room stuffed with straw. In the corner was a large spinning well. You are pretty enough to marry, said the King. But are you as clever as your father says? You have tonight to turn this straw into gold. If you failed, you shall die. Then he went out and locked a door.

第二章 国王的考验 国王领着安娜走过昏暗的走廊，爬上盘旋的楼梯。 最后他们来到了一个塞满稻草的小房间。 角落放着一台大大的纺车。 国王说：“你长得够漂亮，确实可以当我的王后。” “可你是不是像你爸爸说的那样聪明呢？” “我给你一晚上的时间把这些稻草纺成金子，要是做不到，你就得死。” 说完他就走出去，把门锁上了。
