蜡là做zuò的de孩hái子zi

很hěn久jiǔ很hěn久jiǔ以yǐ前qián，有yǒu一yī家jiā人rén快kuài乐lè地de生shēng活huó在zài一yī起qǐ。

Once upon a time, there lived a happy family.

孩hái子zi们men从cóng来lái不bù打dǎ架jià，还hái帮bāng助zhù爸bà爸ba妈mā妈ma做zuò家jiā务wù，干gàn农nóng活huó。

They never fought with each other. They helped their parents at home and in the fields.

但dàn是shì他tā们men不bù能néng靠kào近jìn火huǒ焰yàn。

But they were not allowed to go near a fire.

没méi办bàn法fǎ，他tā们men只zhǐ能néng在zài晚wǎn上shang工gōng作zuò，因yīn为wèi他tā们men都dōu是shì用yòng蜡là做zuò的de！

They had to do all their work during the night. Because they were made of wax!

但dàn是shì其qí中zhōng一yī个gè男nán孩hái非fēi常cháng想xiǎng出chū门mén，他tā想xiǎng走zǒu到dào太tài阳yang底dǐ下xia看kàn看kan。

But one of the boys longed to go out in the sunlight.

有yǒu一yī天tiān，这zhè种zhǒng渴kě望wàng太tài强qiáng烈liè了le。虽suī然rán他tā的de兄xiōng弟dì们men警jǐng告gào过guo他tā……

One day the longing was too strong. His brothers warned him…

但dàn是shì太tài晚wǎn了le！他tā在zài太tài阳yang底dǐ下xia融róng化huà了le。

But it was too late! He melted in the hot sun.

其qí他tā蜡là做zuò的de孩hái子zi看kàn到dào他tā们men的de兄xiōng弟dì融róng化huà消xiāo失shī了le，非fēi常cháng伤shāng心xīn。

The wax children were so sad to see their brother melting away.

但dàn是shì他tā们men想xiǎng出chū了le一yī个gè好hǎo主zhǔ意yi：他tā们men把bǎ熔róng化huà的de蜡là块kuài捏niē成chéng了le一yī只zhī鸟niǎo。

But they made a plan. They shaped the lump of melted wax into a bird.

他tā们men把bǎ变biàn成chéng鸟niǎo的de兄xiōng弟dì带dài到dào了le一yī座zuò高gāo山shān上shàng。

They took their bird brother up to a high mountain.

太tài阳yang升shēng起qǐ来lai了le，他tā迎yíng着zhe晨chén光guāng唱chàng着zhe歌gē，飞fēi走zǒu了le。

And as the sun rose, he flew away singing into the morning light.
