草莓公主 | Strawberry Princess

草莓王國有一位草莓公主，她是草莓王國所有的草莓裡最漂亮的草莓，她有尖尖的下巴，圓潤緋紅的臉蛋，水嫩的皮膚，頭上還有一頂搭配正好，翠綠的帽子。但是這位草莓公主特別孤傲，她認為自己就是全世界最美麗的草莓，對什麼都看不過眼，對誰都不待見。有時，草莓王國裡那些誠實的人，給她提一下建議，只要不合她心意，她統統都不聽，而且還會把這些誠實的，說真話的人驅逐出草莓王國，她不知道什麼是忠言逆耳。漸漸，草莓王國就沒有人再敢說實話了。而那些對草莓公主說好話的人，都是一些阿諛奉承的人。

 

這年的冬天，草莓王國發生了一件詭異的事情。很多草莓莫名其妙地生病了，全身長滿了黑斑點，有的草莓還因為病重而死去了。美麗的草莓公主也難於倖免，得了這種全身長滿黑斑的病。

 

這天，草莓公主起床照鏡子，看到鏡子裡那個長滿黑斑難看的臉，砰就把鏡子摔到地上砸碎了。然後問身旁的侍衛：「我看起來是不是很醜啊？」侍衛說：「哪裡會，草莓公主您可是全世界最美的，現在當然也是。」草莓公主覺得這個侍衛在騙她，立馬叫人把他驅逐出草莓王國。

 

這時候，進來了一位給草莓公主送餐的小男孩，草莓公主又問小男孩：「我現在看起來是不是很醜？」小男孩說：「草莓公主您臉上長滿了黑斑，看起來確實不好看。」聽完，草莓公主就哭了。小男孩接著說：「不只是你，整個草莓王國的草莓，現在都變成你這樣，你到窗邊去看看」

 

草莓公主來到窗邊，看著窗外一片哀嚎，滿眼都是長滿黑斑的草莓，有的已經病重躺臥在地上，有的已經扛不住死去了。「怎麼辦？我的草莓王國變成這樣了？我也變成這樣了，還能救嗎？」草莓公主哭得更大聲了。小男孩接著說：「辦法是有的，但是要你和我一起去找。」草莓公主這時擦了擦眼淚：「什麼辦法？只要能救我和我的草莓王國，我做什麼都願意。」

 

小男孩說：「我認識一位植物科學家，看看他能不能幫你，但你要和和我一起去他。」草莓公主答應了。他們起身去找這位植物科學家。植物科學家在草莓王國外面的沙漠上一個科研基地裡做科學實驗。小男孩和草莓公主找到這位植物科學家，科學家一見到草莓公主的樣子就知道她肯定是來看病的，於是他馬上給草莓公主做了詳細檢查，最後診斷出她得的病是黑斑病，必須馬上治療，否則就會有生命危險。

 

植物科學家調好了一包藥水，用一根小針扎進草莓公主的身體，導出一根長管子把藥水打進去，就像我們人類打吊針一樣。打吊針的草莓，這個畫風看起來很有趣，小男孩忍不住笑了。草莓公主也笑了，這可是第一次見草莓公主笑，笑起來真好看。在植物科學基地連續打了三天的吊針，草莓公主身上的黑斑逐漸消失了，病好了。

 

而草莓公主還惦記著草莓王國那些和她一樣生病的草莓，她又懇請植物科學家能夠去到草莓王國為它們治病。植物科學家當然是非常樂意，帶上幾個同事，就出發去往草莓王國了，當看到草莓王國一整片都是長滿了黑斑的草莓，植物科學家也困惑了，這麼多一個個治療也挺費勁啊，他們又叫來了很多研究員，一個個地給它們打吊針，那個場景特別壯觀，一整片草莓地都是打吊針的草莓。同樣是打了三天，草莓王國的草莓都逐漸開始康復了。

 

之後，植物科學家給草莓王國的泥土做了檢測，原來是這裡的泥土受了汙染，草莓才會得黑斑病。於是他又在草莓王國的泥土上全部撒了藥粉，把汙染物質用化學藥劑中和掉。過了沒多久，草莓王國又出生了很多草莓寶寶，它們都很健康。

 

而草莓公主，經過這件事後，看到了人性的無助和善良，知道自己以往做得不對，也不再孤傲，親民了很多，而且她還把之前驅逐出草莓王國的那些人都找回來了，向他們道歉。草莓王國又恢復了以前美好的生活。

 

 

There is a Strawberry Princess in the Strawberry Kingdom. She is the most beautiful strawberry of all in the Strawberry Kingdom. She has a pointed chin, a round and rosy face, soft skin, and a matching green hat on her head. But the Strawberry Princess is so proud that she believes she is the most beautiful strawberry in the world. She disdains anything and doesn't like anyone. Sometimes she would not listen to the honest men of Strawberry Kingdom who gave her advice if it did not please her, and would drive those honest, truth-tellingmen out of Strawberry Kingdom. She did not know 「good advice is harsh to the ear」. Gradually, no one in Strawberry Kingdom dared to tell the truth any more. And those who speak well of Strawberry Princess are all flatterers.

 

This winter, something strange happened in the Strawberry Kingdom. Many strawberries got sick for no apparent reason and were covered in black spots, and some died of serious illness. The beautiful Strawberry Princess also suffered from this disease, which was covered with black spots.

 

One day, Strawberry Princess got up and looked in the mirror. She saw the ugly face covered with black spots in the mirror, and slammed the mirror to the ground and broke it. Then asked guard next to her: "Do I look very ugly?" "The guard said," Certainly not, Strawberry Princess you are the most beautiful in the world, now of course is also.」 The Strawberry Princess felt that the guard was cheating on her, and immediately had him expelled from the Strawberry Kingdom.

 

At that moment, a little boy came in who was delivering food to the Strawberry Princess. The Strawberry Princess asked the little boy again, "Don't I look ugly now?" The little boy said, "Strawberry Princess, your face is covered with black spots. It doesn't look good." After hearing this, the Strawberry Princess cried out. Then the little boy said, "Not only you, but also all the strawberries in the Strawberry Kingdom are like you now. Go and look at the window."

 

The Strawberry Princess came to the window, and looked out at the wailing. There were many strawberries with black spots all over them, and some were dying on the ground, and some could not bear to die. "What can I do? What has become of my Strawberry Kingdom? Can I be saved now that I have become like this?" The Strawberry Princess cried even louder. "There is," the boy continued, "but you have to come with me." Strawberry Princess wiped her eyes. "What can I do? I'll do anything to save me and my Strawberry Kingdom."

"I know a plant scientist," the boy said. "See if he can help you, but you must come with me." The Strawberry Princess agreed. They set out and went to visit the plant scientist. The plant scientist did science experiments in a scientific base in the desert outside the Strawberry Kingdom. The little boy and strawberry princess found the plant scientist, the scientist knew the Strawberry Princess must come to see a doctor while seeing her, so he immediately gave Strawberry Princess a detailed examination, and finally diagnosed her disease is Black Spot, she must be treated immediately, otherwise there will be a danger of life.

The plant scientist mixed a package of potions, inserted a small syringe needle into the Strawberry Princess's body, and output a long tube to inject the potions in, just like we humans have an intravenous drip.The strawberry with the intravenous drip looked so funny that the little boy couldn’t help laughing. The Strawberry Princess smiled too. It was the first time that he had ever seen the Strawberry Princess smile. After three consecutive days of injections at the plant science base, the black spots on Strawberry Princess gradually disappeared and she recovered.

The Strawberry Princess still thought about the other strawberries in Kingdom who were as sick as her, and she begged the plant scientist to go to the Strawberry Kingdom and cure them. Plant scientist, of course, he was very happy to help them, then he took several colleagues, set out to Strawberry Kingdom. When they saw a whole piece of Strawberry Kingdom was filled with black spots strawberries, the plant scientist confused, so many individual treatment also pretty difficult, they called a lot of researchers to come and gave them intravenous drip one by one, the scene was particularly spectacular, a whole piece of strawberries in strawberry fields were having intravenous drip. Over the same three days, the ill strawberries in Strawberry Kingdom began to recover.

Later, the plant scientist tested the soil in the Strawberry Kingdom and found it was contaminated that caused Black Spot. So he sprinkled powder all over the soil of the Strawberry Kingdom to neutralize the pollution with chemicals. Before long, Strawberry Kingdom had many more baby strawberries, and they were all very healthy.

About Strawberry Princess, after this event, she saw the helplessness and kindness of human nature, and knew that she had not done well in the past, then she was no longer lonely and proud, she closed to the people a lot, and those honest men she ever expelled who were out of Strawberry Kingdom before, she found them back and apologized to them. The Strawberry Kingdom was back to the good old days.
