Eliza was growing up and becoming more and more beautiful.
One day ,shewent to the forest and met an old woman who in fact was a kind fairy .”your brothers have become eleven wild swans .They have flown to the seashore”,she told Eliza.
Eliza missed her brothers very much. She decided to go and find them.
艾麗莎漸漸長大了,她出落得越來越美麗,就像清晨里一朵帶著露水的玫瑰。
有一天,她和往常一樣去森林里采漿果。在一條小河邊,她遇見了一位老婆婆。老婆婆其實是一個好心的仙女,她告訴艾麗莎,她的哥哥們變成了野天鵝,已經飛到海邊去了。
艾麗莎非常想念哥哥們,她下定決心,不管有多辛苦,都一定要找到他們。
In order to find her brothers ,Eliza kept on walking and finally reached the shore.
It was almost evening and eleven wild swans landed on the shore. As soon as the sun went down , they turned into eleven handsome princes.
They were Eliza’s brothers!
The princes told Eliza that the next morning they would fly across the sea to a faraway country .Eliza asked them to take her with them.
艾麗莎按照老婆婆的指示,日夜兼程,風餐露宿。終于來到海邊。
傍晚,十一只戴著金冠的野天鵝拍著白色的翅膀,緩緩地落在地面上。當太陽剛從海平面上落下時,野天鵝就變成了十一位英俊的王子。
他們正是艾麗莎日夜思念的哥哥們。在白天,他們會變成野天鵝,只有太陽落山后他們才可以變回王子。
哥哥們告訴艾麗莎,第二天,他們就要飛越大海,飛往南方一個遙遠的國家過冬了。艾麗莎希望和哥哥們一塊兒去。
