4 A Marshmallow

Chapter Four A Marshmallow Verity went over the words she had just said in her head. She thought for a few seconds and then she punched the air for joy. "I've got it!" "I knew you could do it, Verity," Tatiana said happily. "Go ahead." Verity cleared her throat. She felt very nervous as everyone stared at her. The King

第四章 棉花糖 维里蒂在脑子里反复回想自己刚刚说过的话。 她思考了几秒，随后开心地挥起了拳头。 “我想到了！” “我就知道你可以的，维里蒂。”塔蒂亚娜高兴地说。 “开始吧。” 维里蒂清了清嗓子。 所有人都盯着她，她觉得特别紧张。 国王

and Queen held each other tightly as they waited for Verity to speak. "Princess Rosamund, you shall indeed dance gracefully, and be wise and happy." Verity took a deep breath. "You will prick your finger BUT when you do, you and the whole castle will fall asleep and dream of marshmallows." Verity looked at the marshmallow in her hand and gleefully popped it into her mouth. "Verity," whispered Tatiana. "You need to say how she will wake up!"

和王后紧紧握着彼此的手，等着维里蒂开口。 “罗莎蒙德公主，你定会舞姿优雅，聪慧又快乐。” 维里蒂深吸了一口气。 “你会被针扎到手指，但等你被扎到的时候，你和整座城堡的人都会陷入沉睡，梦里全是棉花糖。” 维里蒂看着手里的棉花糖，开开心心地把它塞进了嘴里。 “维里蒂。”塔蒂亚娜小声提醒。 “你还没说她要怎么醒过来呢！”

"Oh, yes, sorry," said Verity as she ate her marshmallow. "You will wake up when a prince…" Verity stopped and looked at Celeste, who was pointing at something. "You've got a piece of marshmallow on your face," whispered Celeste.

“哦对，不好意思。”维里蒂一边嚼着棉花糖一边说。 “你会在一位王子……”维里蒂停了下来，看向正指着什么的塞莱斯特。 “你脸上沾了一块棉花糖。”塞莱斯特小声说。

Verity couldn't understand what Celeste was saying. "Lick your face!" said Celeste, pointing to Verity's face. "Licks your face?" repeated Verity. A slow ripple of applause filled the room as everyone thought Verity had finished. "Well done," said Tatiana, "you have saved the princess in your own unique way. With a prince who will… lick her face?" She shook her head as she walked away. Verity beamed with relief. "Wow!" exclaimed Celeste. "That was… great! But why does a prince have to lick her face to wake her up?" "That's what you told me to say," said Verity sternly.

维里蒂没听懂塞莱斯特在说什么。 “舔舔你的脸！”塞莱斯特指着维里蒂的脸说。 “舔你的脸？”维里蒂重复道。 大家都以为维里蒂已经说完了，房间里慢慢响起了稀稀拉拉的掌声。 “做得好，”塔蒂亚娜说，“你用自己独一无二的方式救了公主。 就是会有一位王子……舔她的脸？” 她摇着头走开了。 维里蒂松了口气，露出了笑容。 “哇！”塞莱斯特惊呼。 “刚才实在是……太棒啦！ 可为什么王子得舔她的脸才能叫醒她呀？” “那是你让我这么说的呀。”维里蒂有点不高兴地说。

Celeste frowned. "I was telling YOU to lick your face because you had a piece of marshmallow stuck to it. You looked a bit silly." Verity felt very embarrassed. "Thank you, Verity," interrupted the Queen. "As you have shown what a capable fairy you are, we would like you to be Princess Rosamund's fairy guardian." Verity was shocked. "Thank you," she said proudly. "I won't let you down." The King and Queen smiled happily as they left the fairies to enjoy the party.

塞莱斯特皱起了眉。 “我刚才是让你舔你自己的脸，因为你脸上沾了块棉花糖。 你看着有点傻乎乎的。” 维里蒂觉得特别不好意思。 “谢谢你，维里蒂。”王后开口打断了她们。 “我们已经看出你是个能力出众的仙女了，我们想请你做罗莎蒙德公主的守护仙女。” 维里蒂大吃一惊。 “谢谢你们。”她骄傲地说。 “我不会让你们失望的。” 国王和王后开心地笑着，离开去让仙女们好好享受派对了。
