"You may decide, daughter," said the king. 女儿，你来决定吧，国王说。

"But I have pears!" cried the boy, "and my father says there are no finer ones in the world." 但我带的是梨啊，男孩哭着说，我爸爸说世界上没有比这更好的梨了。

"We know that story by heart!" cried a servant. 我们早就知道这个故事了，一个侍卫叫道。

"Please look at my pears, fair princess!" begged the boy. "I have brought them a long way for the king." 美丽的公主，请看看我的梨子吧，男孩央求道，我把它们从远方带来，想献给国王。
