​​Adapted from Grimm’s Fairy Tale​​

Once upon a time, there were four brothers.

从前，有四个兄弟。

“I can see farther than anyone,” the first brother said.

“我比谁都看得远，”第一个兄弟说。

“At the top of that tree, there are five eggs in a nest.”

“在那棵树的顶端，鸟巢里有五个蛋。”

“I am faster than all of you, I move as quickly as a cat,” said the second brother.

“我比你们所有人都快，我动作快得像猫，”第二个兄弟说。

He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back.

他爬上去，悄悄地拿走蛋，然后又放了回去。

The bird never noticed it.

那只鸟完全没有察觉。

“I can shoot better than all of you,” said the third.

“我能射得比你们都好，”第三个兄弟说。

He then shot a leaf above the nest.

然后他射中了鸟巢上方的一片叶子。

The fourth brother said, “I can sew anything together, even something as soft as that leaf.”

第四个兄弟说：”我能把任何东西缝在一起，即使是像那片叶子一样柔软的东西。”

In no time, the leaf was as good as new.

很快，叶子就完好如初了。

Not long after, the king’s daughter was taken away by a dragon.

不久之后，国王的女儿被一条龙抓走了。

The king said Whoever brought the princess back could marry her.

国王说谁能把公主带回来就可以娶她。

The first brother said, “I see her! She is far away, on a rocky at sea, with the dragon.”

第一个兄弟说：”我看到她了!她在远处，在海上的一块岩石上，和龙在一起。”

So the brothers sailed to the rock.

于是兄弟们驾船前往那片岩石。

The third brother said, “I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon.”

第三个兄弟说：”如果我射杀龙，可能会伤到公主。”

“Leave it to me,” said the second brother.

“交给我吧，”第二个兄弟说。

He moved as quietly as a mouse and quickly freed the princess.

他像老鼠一样悄悄地移动，迅速救出了公主。

Suddenly, the dragon began to chase them.

The third brother shot it, but its fall broke their ship.

Luckily, the fourth brother took his needle and sewed the ship together.

Then they sailed home safely.

The happy king asked, “Which of you will marry my daughter?”

高兴的国王问道：”你们谁愿意娶我女儿？”

The brothers began to argue.

兄弟们开始争论起来。

Each brother believed that he did more than the others.

每个人都认为自己比其他人贡献更大。

Finally, the king said, “Each of you is as good as the others, but you are much stronger together.

最后，国王说：”你们每个人都同样优秀，但团结起来会更强大。

Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward.”

因此，我将把半个王国作为奖励赐予你们。”

The brothers were pleased.
