6 Home at last

Chapter 6 Home at last By evening, they could see the lights of King Afron's palace. The king was overjoyed to see his daughter, and even happier to give his blessing for her marriage to Prince Ivan.

第六章终于回家到了晚上，他们可以看到阿夫隆国王宫殿的灯光。 国王看到他的女儿非常高兴，甚至更高兴地祝福她嫁给伊凡王子。

They celebrated the wedding with a great feast, until even Silver Wolf thought he could never be hungry again.

他们举行了一场盛大的宴会来庆祝婚礼，连银狼都觉得自己再也不会饿了。

King Afron rode the Horse of Power, and Ivan and the princess rode Silver Wolf, through the skies to King Dalmat's palace. There the two kings settled their quarrel to wish Ivan and the princess well, and sent them on their way with the Firebird.

国王阿夫隆骑着权贵之马，伊万和公主骑着银狼，穿过天空来到国王达尔玛特的宫殿。 在那里，两位国王结束了争吵，祝福伊万和公主一切安好，然后送他们和火鸟一起上路了。

Ivan's father had given up all hope of his son's return. Imagine his joy to see Ivan, not only alive and well, but happily married to a beautiful wife.

伊万的父亲已经对儿子的归来不抱任何希望了。 想象一下他看到伊万时的喜悦，他不仅活得好好的，而且幸福地娶了一位美丽的妻子。

And the Firebird? "I was wrong," said the king. "No one should try to own a bird like that. I shall set her free. She may come to the orchard and eat my apples whenever she likes."

火鸟呢？“我错了，”国王说。 “没有人应该试图拥有这样一只鸟。 我要放她自由。她随时都可以来果园吃我的苹果。”

And so she did. Every time the Firebird visited the orchard, she took an apple and scattered the seeds somewhere else. In time, another apple tree would grow. The new trees never did produce golden fruit, but still the apples were the sweetest you ever tasted.

她就这样做了。火鸟每次来果园，都会带一个苹果，把种子撒在别的地方。 假以时日，又会长出一棵苹果树。 新树从来没有结出金色的果实，但苹果仍然是你吃过的最甜的。
