A small brown bird flew down to Fiora's hand. 一只棕色的小鸟落在了菲奥娜的手上。

She fed it a few magic seeds, 她给它喂了几粒神奇的种子，

and it grew and grew, until it was large enough to ride. 结果它越长越大，大到都可以骑了。

It carried her through the night to the witch's hut. 小鸟载着她穿过黑夜，来到了女巫的小屋。

"So they want you to marry," said the witch. “这么说，他们想让你结婚啊，”女巫说。

"What shall we do with these princes? “那我们该怎么处置这些王子呢？

Turn them into dogs? 把他们变成狗？

Into birds? 变成鸟？

Or into beads, on a necklace that you can wear forever?" 还是做成珠子，串在项链上让你永远戴着？”

"The necklace!" “项链！”

cried Fiora, clapping her hands. 菲奥娜拍着手叫道。

The witch pulled a long gold thread from her bag and put it around Fiora's neck. 女巫从包里掏出一根长长的金线，套在菲奥娜的脖子上。

"Make a man close his fingers around this thread, “只要让男人用手握住这根线，

and he becomes a bead. 他就会变成一颗珠子。

But be careful. 不过你可得小心。

If you ever close your own fingers around it, 要是你自己的手指握住了它，

you will join them." 你也会变成珠子，去陪他们了。”

Fiora laughed. 菲奥娜笑了起来。

"I'll be careful. “我会小心的。

Oh, I can't wait for the first one to arrive." 哎呀，我都等不及第一个人送上门来了。”
