Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Princess Sneezewort sat alone at a café table. There were soft rolls with butter. There were cheesy omelets. There were heaping platters of sugar-dusted doughnuts.

第十二章喷嚏精公主独自坐在咖啡桌旁。 有抹黄油的软面包卷。 有芝士煎蛋卷。 堆满了一盘盘撒了糖的甜甜圈。

There was no Princess Magnolia. There was no Frimplepants. Even Princess Sneezewort's pet pig, Sir Hogswell, had wandered off.

没有木兰公主。 根本就没有精灵厂。 就连鼻涕草公主的宠物猪霍格斯韦尔爵士也走失了。

The servers cleared the table. Brunch time was over. Princess Sneezewort sighed. She relished Princess Magnolia's friend-ship. But often, Princess Magnolia showed up late. And often, her dress was on inside out. "How very curious," Princess Sneezewort said to herself. Where did Princess Magnolia go? And why did she dress in a hurry? Princess Sneezewort thought hard. She had almost figured it out.... But just then, someone shouted her name.

服务员清理了桌子。 早午餐时间结束了。喷嚏草公主叹了口气。 她享受着木兰公主的友谊。 但木兰公主经常迟到。 而且她的裙子经常穿反了。 “真奇怪，”鼻涕草公主自言自语道。 木兰公主去了哪里? 她为什么穿得那么匆忙? 鼻涕草公主苦思冥想。 她几乎想明白了.... 但就在这时，有人喊了她的名字。

Was it Princess Magnolia with her dress inside out? No, it was the Princess in Black! She was leading a herd of goats to the village pasture. The goat boy was telling everyone that the Princess in Black and Blacky had saved his goats. The crowd cheered.

是穿反了裙子的木兰公主吗? 不，是黑衣公主!她正领着一群羊到村里的牧场去。 山羊男孩告诉每个人，黑衣公主救了他的山羊。 人群欢呼起来。
