Anna loved tulips. She loved their round shape and bright colors and slim green leaves.

安娜可喜欢郁金香啦。她爱它们圆圆的花型、鲜亮的色彩，还有细细的绿叶子。

But in Holland in 1636, everyone loved tulips. That made tulips worth more than golden diamonds, more than almost anything.

不过1636年的荷兰，人人都爱郁金香。 郁金香的身价高得离谱，比金钻还贵，几乎比任何东西都值钱。

One spring morning, Anna saw her father cutting tulips. People wanted the bulbs the most. Stop, Papa! said Anna.

一个春天的早晨，安娜看见爸爸正在剪郁金香。 大家最想要的是郁金香球根。 “爸爸，别剪！”安娜喊道。

Sorry birthday girl, he said my bulbs in the ground grow bigger and better without the flower Please let me have some tulips for my birthday begged Anna

“对不起啦小寿星，”爸爸说，“把花剪掉，土里的球根才能长得更大更好呀。” “求求你给我一些郁金香当生日礼物嘛” 安娜恳求道。

Very well, he said. You may choose eight since you are now eight Thank you said Anna

“好吧，”爸爸说，“你今年八岁啦，可以选八朵郁金香哦。” “谢谢爸爸！” 安娜说。
