Once upon a time in a vibrant forest, there lived a curious rabbit named Rosie and a mischievous squirrel named Sammy. They were the best of friends and spent their days exploring the enchanting woods.
很久很久以前,在一片生氣勃勃的森林裡,住著一隻充滿好奇心的兔子蘿西,和一隻頑皮的松鼠薩米,他們倆是最要好的朋友,每天都在這片迷人的森林中探險。
One sunny morning, as Rosie and Sammy were hopping and scurrying through the forest, they stumbled upon a hidden tree stump. Inside the stump, they found a magical key. Its golden colour shimmered with a faint glow, whispering secrets of adventure.
在一個陽光明媚的早晨,蘿西和薩米在森林裡蹦蹦跳跳地走著,突然發現了一個隱藏的樹樁。在這樹樁裡,牠們發現了一把魔法之鑰,它在微弱的光芒中閃爍,竊竊私語著冒險的秘密。
Excitedly, Rosie and Sammy decided to find the door that this magical key would unlock. They searched high and low, through tall trees and thorny bushes, until they discovered a secret door hidden behind a curtain of ivy.
興奮不已的蘿西和薩米,決定找尋能夠使用這把魔法之鑰開啟的門。牠們四處尋找,穿過高大的樹木和多刺的灌木叢,直到發現隱藏在長春藤蔓後的一扇秘密門。
With trembling paws, they inserted the key into the lock, and with a gentle turn, the door creaked open, revealing a mysterious room filled with bright light. In the center of the room, there stood a wise old owl named Oliver.
牠們戰戰兢兢地將鑰匙插入鎖中,輕輕地轉動,門嘎吱作響,露出一個充滿明亮光線的神祕房間。房間的中央,站著一隻名叫奧利佛的智慧老貓頭鷹。
Oliver greeted them with a kind smile and said, "Welcome, young travelers. I am the guardian of the Magical Key of Honesty. This key has the power to open doors to incredible places, but it can only be used by those who are honest and true."
奧利佛面帶微笑,親切的問候牠們說:「歡迎你們,年輕的旅行者,我是誠實魔法之鑰的守護者。這把鑰匙,有著開啟通往不可思議之門的力量,但唯有誠實之人能夠使用。」
Rosie and Sammy were overjoyed to have found such an amazing treasure, but deep down, they both carried a secret. Rosie had accidentally broken a flowerpot in her mother's garden, and Sammy had nibbled on Mr. Bear's prized acorn collection. They had been too afraid to admit their mistakes.
蘿西和薩米,對於找到這個神奇的寶藏而感到興奮不已,但在內心深處,牠們倆各自隱藏著一個秘密……
蘿西無意間打破了媽媽在花園中的花盆,而薩米則啃食了熊先生珍貴的橡果收藏品。牠們都因為害怕,不敢承認自己的錯誤。
Oliver, with his keen owl eyes, noticed their unease. He said, "Remember, my little friends, honesty is the key to unlocking not just magical doors, but also happiness and trust. It is important to be truthful and own up to our actions."
奧利佛憑藉他敏銳的貓頭鷹之眼,察覺到了牠們的不安。牠說:「請記住,我的小朋友。誠實不僅是打開魔法之門的鑰匙,同時也是幸福和信任的關鍵。坦承並勇於對自己的行為負責是很重要的。」
Feeling guilty, Rosie and Sammy looked at each other and made a decision. They took a deep breath and confessed their wrongdoings to Oliver, promising to apologize and make amends.
感到內疚的蘿西和薩米互相看著對方,做出了決定。牠們深吸一口氣,向奧利佛坦白自己的過錯,承諾會道歉及彌補錯誤。
Impressed by their honesty, Oliver nodded approvingly. He said, "You have made a wise choice, my young friends. Now, go and correct your mistakes. When you return, I will teach you how to use the Magical Key of Honesty."
奧利弗對牠們的誠實感到印象深刻,並點頭表示認可。他說:「我的年輕朋友,你們做出了明智的選擇。現在去修正你們的錯誤,當你們回來時,我會教導你們如何使用誠實魔法之鑰。」
With newfound determination, Rosie and Sammy raced back to their respective places. Rosie faced her mother with tears in her eyes and sincerely apologized for breaking the flowerpot. Her mother hugged her tightly and forgave her, emphasizing the importance of honesty.
滿懷決心,蘿西和薩米返回到各自的地方。蘿西淚眼汪汪的面對媽媽,真摯誠懇地為打破花盆道歉。母親緊緊地擁抱並原諒了她,以及強調誠實的重要性。
Meanwhile, Sammy approached Mr. Bear, shyly admitting his nibbling antics. To Sammy's surprise, Mr. Bear smiled warmly and forgave him, appreciating his honesty. He even shared some acorns with Sammy as a sign of friendship.
與此同時,薩米腳踏實地地走到熊先生面前,害羞地承認自己的啃食行為。令薩米驚訝的是,熊先生溫暖地微笑寬恕了他,並欣賞他的誠實,甚至與薩米分享橡果,表現出作為友誼的象徵。
Grateful and relieved, Rosie and Sammy hurried back to Oliver, eager to learn the secrets of the Magical Key of Honesty. Oliver praised them for their courage and explained, "Whenever you find a door that seems impossible to open, hold this key close and speak the truth from your heart. The door will unlock, revealing wonderful surprises and opportunities."
感激和寬慰之情油然而生,蘿西和薩米趕回奧利弗身邊,迫不及待地想學習誠實魔法之鑰的秘密。
奧利弗稱讚牠們的勇氣,解釋道:「每當你們找到一扇看似無法打開的門,只要握緊這把鑰匙,從內心講出真相,門將會解鎖,並帶來美妙的驚喜和機遇。」
Rosie and Sammy thanked Oliver, their hearts filled with gratitude and the determination to always be honest. From that day on, they became known as the Forest's Honest Heroes, using the Magical Key of Honesty to help others and spread the importance of truthfulness.
蘿西和薩米非常感謝奧利弗,牠們的心中充滿了感激之情,以及永遠保持誠實的決心。
從那一天起,牠們成為森林中誠實的英雄,使用誠實魔法之鑰來幫助他人,並傳播誠實的重要性。
And so, their adventures continued, with Rosie and Sammy unlocking doors of kindness, friendship, and happiness throughout the magical forest, always cherishing the lesson they had learned about the power of honesty.
就這樣,牠們的冒險仍在繼續。蘿西和薩米在魔法森林中打開了善良、友誼和幸福的大門,並始終珍惜牠們所學到的誠實力量教育。
