7 Verity's Sparkly Star

Chapter Seven Verity's Sparkly Star Celeste was surprised that Verity wasn't at the seven dwarfs" party for Snow White. She was even more surprised when she found Verity visiting the Wicked Queen. She could hear Verity's voice from inside the magic mirror. "…So you see, it's not looks that make you beautiful. It's about how you treat others,"

第七章 维里蒂的闪亮星星 塞莱斯特很奇怪维里蒂没去七个小矮人为白雪公主举办的派对。 当她发现维里蒂正和邪恶皇后待在一起时，就更惊讶了。 她能从魔镜里听到维里蒂的声音。 “……所以你看，让你美丽的从来不是外貌。 而是你对待他人的方式。”

Verity told the Wicked Queen. "That's real beauty!" Celeste winced. She was sure the Wicked Queen was going to shout. Or worse still, throw something at the mirror. "Thank you Magic Mirror. You've given me some great ideas!" said the Wicked Queen nicely. Celeste couldn't believe it! A few days later, Verity went to buy the latest copy of Sparkle Time magazine. The shop was really busy. Verity could hear a familiar voice speaking to the crowd. "My new book tells you how to feel great about yourself." Verity managed to squeeze past everyone to get to the front. The Wicked Queen was

维里蒂对邪恶皇后说道。 “那才是真正的美！” 塞莱斯特忍不住缩了缩身子。 她敢肯定邪恶皇后马上就要大吼大叫了。 搞不好还会更糟，往镜子上扔东西。 “谢谢你，魔镜。 你可给我出了不少好主意！”邪恶皇后语气友好地说道。 塞莱斯特简直不敢相信自己的耳朵！ 几天之后，维里蒂去买最新一期的《闪耀时刻》杂志。 店里人特别多，挤得满满的。 维里蒂听见一个熟悉的声音正对着人群讲话。 “我的新书会告诉大家，怎么让自己从心底里觉得舒服自在。” 维里蒂好不容易挤过人群，走到了最前面。 站在那里的邪恶皇后正

holding up a copy of her new book, Kindness is Beautiful. "As you all know," continued the Wicked Queen. "I used to be very mean and I always wanted to be the most beautiful. But then I realized something. If you're a nice person on the inside, then you're beautiful on the outside." Everyone in the shop cheered and clapped. Verity was very proud. She knew that she had helped the Wicked Queen change. Once again, all the fairies had gathered around the enchanted tree by the light of the

举着她的新书，书名叫做《善良就是美》。 “大家都知道，”邪恶皇后接着说道。 “我以前特别坏，一门心思想要当全世界最美的人。 但后来我想通了一件事。 如果你内心是个善良的好人，那你的外表自然就是美的。” 店里所有的人都欢呼起来，使劲鼓掌。 维里蒂心里特别骄傲。 她知道是自己帮助邪恶皇后做出了改变。 这天，所有的仙子又一次聚在魔法树旁，沐浴着

full moon. Tatiana looked very pleased. "I'm extremely proud to present this extra-special star to a fairy who risked everything to save Snow White." Tatiana handed the magic box to Verity. "Well done, Verity." "Thank you very much," beamed Verity, she crossed her fingers and held her breath. She really wanted the lilac star. As she opened the box, a beautiful rainbow star floated out. All the fairies gasped. They had never seen a rainbow star before. Everyone cheered and clapped for Verity. "Rainbow stars are given out very rarely," Tatiana explained.

满月的光辉。 塔蒂阿娜看上去特别开心。 “我非常荣幸，要把这枚格外特别的星星颁给一位仙子，她为了救白雪公主不惜冒了所有风险。” 塔蒂阿娜把魔法盒子递给了维里蒂。 “做得好，维里蒂。” “太谢谢您了。”维里蒂笑得眉眼弯弯，她攥紧手指交叉祈祷，屏住了呼吸。 她特别想要那枚淡紫色的星星。 她打开盒子的时候，一枚漂亮的彩虹星星从里面飘了出来。 所有仙子都倒抽了一口气。 她们以前从来都没见过彩虹星星。 大家都为维里蒂欢呼鼓掌。 “彩虹星星是非常稀有的奖励，”塔蒂阿娜解释道。

"Wow, that's amazing, Verity." Celeste hugged her friend. "You really deserve it." "Thank you, Celeste," said Verity quietly. "I couldn't have done any of this without you." Celeste smiled. "Ooh your rainbow star has lilac in it. You don't need a lilac star now." Verity frowned. "Celeste, I've already told you! I want to be the first fairy to get a fully lilac star." Celeste chuckled. "You're one of a kind, Verity!"

“哇，维里蒂，这也太厉害了吧。” 塞莱斯特一把抱住了自己的好朋友。 你完全配得上它。” “谢谢你，塞莱斯特。”维里蒂轻声说道。 “要是没有你，这些事我一件都做不成。” 塞莱斯特笑了。 “哎呀，你的彩虹星星里还有淡紫色呢。 你现在不需要淡紫色星星啦。” 维里蒂皱了皱鼻子。 “塞莱斯特，我都跟你说过好多次啦！ 我要当第一个拿到纯淡紫色星星的仙子。” 塞莱斯特忍不住笑出了声。 “维里蒂，你可真是独一无二呀！”
