Chapter 14

Chapter 14 The twelve princesses waited in the tower room. Princess Magnolia was still gone. It had been a long time. "Perhaps she's playing hide-and-seek again?" said Princess Zinnia.

第十四章十二位公主在塔楼的房间里等候。 木兰公主仍然不在。 那是很久以前的事了。“也许她又在玩捉迷藏?”

They searched the castle. No Princess Magnolia. "Maybe she's in the broom closet," said Princess Sneezewort. "She was in there last time." They went to the broom closet. Princess Sneezewort reached for the door handle. Just then, Princess Magnolia came out. Her hair was extremely messy. Her dress was inside out and backward. One of her glass slippers was missing.

他们搜查了城堡。没有木兰公主。 “也许她在扫帚间里。”喷嚏精公主说。 “上次她在那儿。” 他们去了扫帚间。 鼻涕草公主伸手去抓门把手。 正在这时，白玉兰公主走了出来。 她的头发乱糟糟的。 她的衣服穿反了。 她的一只水晶鞋不见了。

"Princess Magnolia, you keep disappearing," said Princess Sneezewort. "Every time it's time for presents." "I do?" said Princess Magnolia. "Yes, you do," said Princess Sneezewort. "Don't you want presents? Where do you keep going?" Princess Magnolia looked down. Her hands were full of stones. She held them up. "To get presents for you!" she said. "After all, presents make a party particularly perfect."

“白玉兰公主，你一直在消失。” “每次都是送礼物的时间。” “是吗?”木兰公主说。 “是的，你知道。”喷嚏草公主说。 “你不想要礼物吗?”你一直往哪里走?”木兰公主低下头。 她的手里拿满了石头。 她举起手来。“给你买礼物!”她说。 “毕竟，礼物让聚会变得特别完美。”

She handed out the stones. There was one for each princess. They were clear and pink and very pretty. "They're perfect!" said Princess Sneezewort. "Absolutely perfect."

她把石头分发出去。 每个公主都有一个。 它们是清澈的，粉红色的，非常漂亮。 “它们太完美了!”喷嚏草公主说。 “绝对完美。”
