The Three Wishes
三个愿望

When Cedric got home one evening, sour and grumpy as usual, his wife was sitting in the kitchen chair with a very strange look on her face. Crumpled in her lap was a letter.
一天晚上，塞德里克回到家中，跟往常一样烦躁不爽，这时他老婆正坐在厨房的椅子上看着他，脸上表情怪异，手里拿着一封皱巴巴的信。

“What the matter with you?” he growled.
“你吃错药了？” 他吼道。

“Come in and close the door, Cedric. You won’t believe it, but we’ve had a letter from the fairies. They’ve granted us three wishes!”
“过来，关上门，塞德里克。你可能不信，但是我们收到一封来自仙子的信。他们赐给我们三个愿望。”

He snatched up the letter and slowly read it.
他一把拽过信，慢慢地读起来。

“We must make the most of this, Magda. We mustn’t make be hasty. Three wishes can make us rich—important—famous! But we must ask for the right things.”
“这个机会我们可得好好利用，玛格达。我们不能太性急了。三个愿望能让我们有钱，有地位，有名！但是我们一定要许对了愿才行！”

“I’ve already made a list,” said Magda, jumping in.
“我都列好单子了，” 玛格达跳过来说道。

“Look. A palace for me, a king’s crown for you. Beauty for me, long life for you. A queen for a maid, gold and jewels…Well, I was so busy making the list that I didn’t have time to make dinner!”
“你看啊，宫殿给我，王冠给你；美貌给我，长寿给你；女王会有女仆、黄金、珠宝……哎呀，我光顾着列单子，都没时间做晚饭！”
