Chapter 1

Chapter ONE It was the first day of the summer holidays and Wilbur and I were feeling VERY excited. We were on our way to stay with our fairy grandparents Granny and Grandpa Starspell! It was going to be the first time we had ever stayed at their house without Mum and Dad and it felt like an exciting adventure! Mum

第一章这是暑假的第一天，威伯和我感到非常兴奋。 我们要去和我们的童话般的爷爷奶奶和爷爷住在一起！这将是我们第一次在没有爸爸妈妈的情况下住在他们家，感觉就像一次激动人心的冒险！妈妈

had even bought me a new pair of frog- patterned pyjamas for the occasion. They were folded up neatly in my suitcase which Dad was carrying in his hand as we flew through the sky towards Glimmerview Fairy Village. It was easier for Dad to carry both my and Wilbur's suitcases as

他甚至为我买了一套新的青蛙图案的睡衣。 它们整整齐齐地叠在我的皮箱里，爸爸手里拿着皮箱，我们飞过天空，飞向精灵村。 爸爸拿着我和威尔伯的箱子比较容易

he is a full fairy and has wings! Wilbur and I didn't inherit Dad's fairy wings— we're both more witchy like Mum, so we were both on our broomsticks instead. Suitcases can be awkward to carry on broomsticks as they swing around a lot!

他是一个完整的仙女，有翅膀！威尔伯和我没有继承爸爸的仙女翅膀——我们都比妈妈更像女巫，所以我们都骑着扫帚。 把手提箱放在扫帚上可能会很尴尬，因为它们会晃来晃去！

'We're almost there!' said Dad excitedly as the clouds in the sky began to turn a fluffy pink colour like candyfloss and the roads below became empty of cars. Cars are not allowed in Glimmerview Fairy Village. 'Oh look!' cried Dad. 'There's the stream! I used to have such fun playing in the stream with my fairy friends when I was a boy. Well-behaved fun of course! We made flower garlands for each other, picked delicious fresh wild fruit, and had swimming races every day in the summer holidays. The sun was always shining. Oh, we did have such marvellous times! It was absolutely idyllic!'

“快到了！”爸爸兴奋地说，这时天上的云开始变成像棉花糖一样蓬松的粉红色，下面的道路上没有车了。 汽车不允许进入精灵村。 “哦,看!爸爸叫道。“小溪在那儿！”当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常和我的仙女朋友们在小溪里玩得很开心。 当然是玩得开心！我们为彼此做花环，采摘美味的新鲜野果，在暑假里每天都进行游泳比赛。 太阳总是照耀着。 哦，我们确实度过了美妙的时光！那绝对是田园诗般的生活！”
