1 Verity's Important Job

Verity Fairy AND Rapunzel

真理仙子与长发公主

Chapter One Verity's Important Job Frost twinkled on the dark ground around the enchanted tree. High above, a bright full moon glowed. All the fairies huddled together to keep warm. Their job was to keep everyone happy and safe in the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Each month, Tatiana, the Queen of the Fairies, held a ceremony.

第一章 真理的重要任务 魔法树周围漆黑的地面上，霜花闪着亮晶晶的光。 高高的天上，一轮皎洁的圆月散发着柔和的光。 所有仙子都挤在一起取暖。 他们的职责是守护童话王国里所有人的幸福与安全。 每个月，仙子女王塔蒂亚娜都会举办一场颁奖典礼。

The fairy who had worked the hardest was rewarded with a special star. Verity and Celeste stood next to each other. Their eyes sparkled with excitement. They were the best of friends and loved spending time together. They liked having flying races and reading their favourite magazine, Sparkle Time. Verity crossed her fingers. "Who do you think the winner will be?" she asked.

工作最努力的仙子会获得一颗特别的星星作为奖励。 真理和塞莱斯特站在一起。 她们的眼睛里闪着兴奋的光。 她们是最要好的朋友，总喜欢黏在一块儿。 她们喜欢比赛飞行，还爱读最喜欢的杂志《闪耀时光》。 真理十指交叉暗暗祈祷。 “你觉得谁会是赢家呀？” 她问道。

Celeste reached up to check her hair. "Probably Fleur or Dawn. They both had the most important jobs this month." Verity nervously played with her rainbow-coloured skirt. She really wanted to be the first fairy to win a rare lilac star. Everyone stopped talking as Tatiana stood in front of them. "And the winner is, Fleur!" All the fairies clapped and cheered. Fleur stepped forward and opened a large magical box. Verity gasped loudly. "Oh, pickled pumpkins!" she cried. "It's lilac!" "No, it's not," whispered Celeste. "Watch." A light blue star floated out of the box and drifted up into the sky before landing in Fleur's hands.

塞莱斯特抬手整理自己的头发。 “大概率是弗勒或者道恩吧。 她们俩这个月都承担了最重要的工作。” 真理紧张地揪着自己的彩虹色小裙子。 她特别想成为第一个赢得稀有的淡紫色星星的仙子。 塔蒂亚娜站到大家面前，所有人都安静了下来。 “获胜者是——弗勒！” 所有仙子都鼓掌欢呼起来。 弗勒走上前，打开了一个大大的魔法盒子。 真理猛地倒抽一口冷气。 “哎呀，腌南瓜啊！” 她大叫起来。 “是淡紫色的！” “不对，不是哦。”塞莱斯特小声说。 “你看。” 一颗浅蓝色的星星从盒子里飘了出来，慢悠悠升上天空，最后落到了弗勒的手里。

"Phew!" Verity said, relieved. She was very happy for Fleur, but secretly Verity felt that Tatiana didn't give her as many jobs as the other fairies. Verity thought she knew why. She had a habit of telling the truth – ALL the time – and that often caused her problems.

“呼！” 真理松了口气，说道。 她真心为弗勒感到高兴，但私下里真理觉得，塔蒂亚娜给她安排的工作总比给其他仙子的少。 真理知道这是为什么。 她有个习惯——总爱说真话，时时刻刻都说，这经常给她惹来麻烦。
