摩比童話之灰姑娘歷險記-24

「真假！？」灰姑娘聽到消息後興高采烈地說。「可是⋯⋯我太胖了。還有，這件禮服已經被森林的樹枝弄得殘破不堪了。我現在來不及回家換衣服了！」

「別擔心，欣蒂。一切包在我身上。」神仙教母說畢便四處張望了一番。她看見遠處的一顆西瓜後眼睛一亮，拿出了她的魔法棒。轉眼間，西瓜竟然變成了一輛豪華的馬車。這時，神仙教母看到在樹上跑的兩隻松鼠。魔法棒一揮，松鼠立刻變成了兩批駿馬。

「現在，我們還需要馬伕！」神仙教母說。

「我有這個榮幸可以當灰姑娘小姐的馬夫嗎。」騎士先生問道。

「當然可以啊！真是太謝謝你了，騎士先生！」灰姑娘看著神仙教母的魔杖一揮，騎士先生的盔甲竟變成了華麗的制服。

「那灰姑娘的禮服咋辦呢？」稻草人問道。

「別及～我現在立刻處理！」神仙教母又揮了揮仙棒，瞬間，灰姑娘的破舊衣裳搖身一變，變成了鑲著奢華鑽石的耀眼雪白色禮服。還有更令人為之驚豔的是灰姑娘肥胖的身形竟然變成了纖細的身材。

「我⋯⋯我看起來好美喔！」灰姑娘照著鏡子說。

"Oh really?" exclaimed Cinderella in ecstasy after hearing the excellent news. "I wish I could go, but.....but I'm too fat, and the dress I'm wearing is torn by the branches of the forest. I won't have time to get home and get dressed to be ready in time."

"Do not worry, my dear Cindy," said Lily LaLac. "Well, let's see what I have here to work with."

The fairy godmother mumbled as she glanced around her garden, then her eyes brightened when she spotted what she was looking for. After locating her target, which was nothing but a watermelon, the fairy godmother pointed her magic wand at it, and in the blink of an eye, the watermelon was instantly transformed into a luxurious coach, which was gilded all over with gold. 

"Wow!" Cinderella, the scarecrow, Mr. Knight and the wolf exclaimed in one voice in astonishment. 

Then, the fairy godmother spotted two squirrels on a pine tree. Again, with a wave of her magic wand, the squirrels turned into two horses neighing in front of the carriage. 

"Now, we need a coachman," muttered Lily LaLac. 

"May I have the honour of being Ms. Cinderella's coachman?" enquired Mr. Knight timidly. 

"Of course, Mr. Knight, thank you so very much!" exclaimed Cinderella in joy as Lily LaLac transformed the knight's clothes into the uniform of the coach driver, with a livery all beset with gold.

"What about Cinderella's dress?" enquired the scarecrow. 

"Hold on, I'm getting there," answered the fairy godmother good-humouredly as she touched Cinderella with her magic wand. In the blink of an eye, Cinderella's dress was turned into a dazzling gown as white as snow, decorated with luxurious diamonds. On her neck was an elegant pearl necklace. But that was not all! Cinderella's plump physique was immediately transformed into a slim, dainty figure. 

"OMG, I feel so light and....and pretty!" exclaimed Cinderella in ecstasy.

「現在輪到你了，野狼先生！」神仙教母走向大野狼說。「透過這次的旅途，你不僅交到了許多朋友，也學會了如何關懷他人，並且當他們需要幫助時，你會適時地為朋友挺身而出。比如說，當灰姑娘在餐廳裡遇到危險時，你毫不猶豫地想衝上樓幫她。」

「可⋯⋯可是，我長得還是凶神惡煞。」大野狼答道。「我這樣要怎麼交朋友啊？」

「我們不能改變自己的外表，但可以改變自己的心。」神仙教母說。「當大家第一次看見你時會感到害怕，這是不爭的事實；然而，當他們認識你後，便能感受到你溫柔的一面。你不需要和每一個人交朋友，只有那些能夠看到你內心真實的一面的人值得成為你的朋友。你現有了這麼多朋友，應該感到滿足了！」

聽完了神仙教母的話，大家都陷入了沉思。

"It's your turn now, Mr. Wolf," said Lily LaLac affectionately whilst she walked towards the wolf. "From this voyage, you have not only made some new friends, but have learnt to care for others them and stand-up for your friends when they need your help, just like when you tried to dash upstairs to save Cinderella when you thought she was in danger."

"But...but I still look frightening," said the wolf. "How do I make friends with this scary-looking face?"

"What's important is not one's expression but one's inner soul, as one cannot change one's appearance," responded Lily LaLac wisely. "It's true that people will be afraid of you at first due to your appearance, nevertheless after knowing you better, they will find your gentle, loving side. You don't have to befriend everyone, only those who care to understand your inner soul are worthy of being your friend. You should feel content that you already have such great friends." Lily LaLac said as she pointed at the scarecrow, Mr. Knight and Cinderella.

After hearing Lily LaLac's wise words, they all fell into a deep contemplation.

「稻草人，」神仙教母莉莉拉拉轉向稻草人說。「經過這次尋找傳說中的巫師阿里布達的旅途，你學會運用你的聰明才智與智慧來解決途中所遇到的問題。所以，你的心願已經實現了。你現在又聰明，又有智慧。」

「可是，我不覺得自己聰明啊！」稻草人答道。

「這是件好事，」神仙教母說。「真的有智慧的人，不會輕易地滿足現況，會找出自己的缺點，並且加以修正。」

聽完神仙教母的一番話，稻草人便陷入了沉思。

After meeting Cinderella's grandmother Lily LaLac, who was also her fairy godmother, the group of friends were surprised to hear that their wishes have already come true.

"Scarecrow," continued Lily LaLac whilst addressing the astonished scarecrow. "Through this voyage in search of the great wizard Ali Buda, you have developed intelligence and wisdom by learning to think of ways to resolve the problems you have encountered. Thus, your wish has already come true, you are now intelligent and wise."

"But...but I don't feel intelligent and wise," replied the scarecrow. 

"Well, that's a good sign," answered Lily LaLac. "Real wise men won't be completely content of oneself. They will acknowledge their deficiencies and strive to correct them."

Upon hearing Lily LaLac's words, the scarecrow fell into a deep contemplation.

灰姑娘和僞巫師阿里布達道謝後，便沿著他所說的路線前往灰姑娘的祖母～莉莉拉拉的新家。經過了大約半天的行程，大夥很快地來到了莉莉拉拉在森林裡的家。

「哇～老婆婆的新家好漂亮喔！」大野狼看著眼前的維多利亞式別墅讚嘆道。

「等等～這裡不就離三個小矮人的木屋很近嗎？那裡居然離阿里布達的城堡這麼近！」灰姑娘說。

「你的意思是說：鼎鼎大名的金磚路並不是前往阿里布達城堡最近的路嗎？」稻草人問道。

「沒錯！」灰姑娘說。「而且我一開始就可以直接來這裡，根本不用繞遠路！」

Playmobil Fairy Tales: The Adventures of Cinderella-21

After thanking the fake wizard Ali Buda, who had formerly been a magician, Cinderella and her friends left the castle and followed the wizard's direction in search for Cinderella's grandmother, whose name was Lily LaLac, according to the wizard. 

After around half a day's walking, they finally arrived at the little house in the forest that belonged to Lily LaLac.

"I can see why she moved out of the wooden cottage," remarked the wolf thoughtfully as he looked on at the beautiful Victorian villa in front of them. 

"Wait a minute!" Cinderella suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this villa not far from the wooden cottage where I met the three little dwarves when I first entered this forest? I didn't know it was that close to the wizard Ali Buda's castle!"

"Does this mean that the Golden Brick Road is not the nearest road to Ali Buda's castle?" enquired the scarecrow.

"Yes! And I could have just gone to grandma's house in the first place instead of wasting so much time!" responded Cinderella. "OMG! What have I been doing?"

摩比童話之灰姑娘歷險記-20

當灰姑娘發現偉大的巫師阿里布達的真面目後，她趕緊通報夥伴們。大夥趕到了現場，直擊翹鬍子紅西裝男正在吃飯。

「你是誰？你到底對真正的巫師做了什麼？」頭腦簡單的稻草人質問道。

「吼～你還聽不懂啊？他就是巫師本尊！只是，他不會魔法！」灰姑娘解釋道。

大野狼開始對著西裝男露處張牙舞爪的兇惡表情，害僞巫師嚇得縮在沙發上。

「你們可能不認識我。但我曾經是紅遍一時的魔術師～白強恩，」偽巫師解釋道。

「怪不得，看你有那麼點兒眼熟！」灰姑娘說。「我小時候最愛看你的節目了！每這星期六晚上，我總是會和我媽媽一起觀看你的魔術表演。」

「你如果真的是那個有名的魔術師，你在這裡幹嘛？」稻草人問道。

「說來慚愧！有一次，我不小心露出了馬腳，讓大家都發現我的伎倆。我無法忍受這樣的恥辱，所以決定引退，並從此隱居森林。」魔術師答道。

那你又是如何變成偉大的巫師阿里布達呢？」這次換騎士發問道。

「我來到森林後，發現自己不僅一無所有，還無依無靠，正垂頭喪氣時，發現了一間小木屋，裡面住著一位善良的老婆婆。」魔術師說。

「那一定就是我阿嬤！」灰姑娘喊道。

「我知道那位老婆婆，她人真的很好！」大野狼附和道。

「他看我無家可歸，於是便收留了我幾天，」魔術師繼續解釋道。「那時的我生無可戀，曾經想過要結束自己的生命。是那位老婆婆鼓勵我，並給我希望。她告訴我，在森林的深處有一座廢棄的城堡，如果真的沒地方住，可以住在那裡。起初，我也不想就這樣與世隔絕。所以，我剛開始都會表演魔術給附近的村民們看。因為村民們沒見過什麼世面，被我的魔術騙得一唬一愣地，於是便開始封我為『巫師』。被誇獎的我一時得意忘形，突然有了個主意。我便不再辯解我不是巫師的事實，並開始以傾聽大家的煩惱，並幫他們解決問題維生。因為村民們的問題都不怎麼困難，所以大部份我都很容易能夠解決，我的名聲也漸漸擴大。我原本是想著：只要沒有人看見我真正的身份，就不會有人認出我，以及拆穿我的謊言。直到那個愛管閒事的胖女孩闖進我的房間為止！」魔術師指著灰姑娘說。

「真的很抱歉，我不是故意愛管閒事的！」灰姑娘道歉道。「我只是被食物的香味吸引過來的！」

「等等，所以外面那顆漂浮的巨頭也是你的魔術之一？」騎士問道。

「沒錯！」魔術師說。「那顆巨頭只不過是我把氣球灌了氫氣後，使它能漂浮在空中罷了！聲音也是我用語音過濾器，透過麥克風及音響指造出來的！」

「那站在城堡外的那兩個巨人呢？」稻草人問道。「那些總假不了了吧？」

「他們是真的巨人！」巫師說。「他們之前在一位女巫那裡工作，不過自從女巫去另一座城堡看守一位在沈睡的公主後，巨人就失業了。於是，他們來我這兒求職，我正好缺人看守城門，於是我就錄用了他們。」

「那我們的願望呢？」騎士失望地問道。「如果你不是真的巫師，那要怎麼幫我們達成心願呢？」

「抱歉，看來我無法替你們達成心願。」巫師搖搖頭說。「你們的願望太抽象以及不切實際了～勇氣、智慧和友誼都不是別人能夠送給你們的！好了，還有問題嗎？如果沒有問題的話，我要繼續用餐了！都是你們，害得我的食物都要涼了！」

「等等，我還有一個問題。」灰姑娘說。「你知道那個曾經幫助你的老婆婆現在住在哪裡嗎？她已經沒有住在那間小木屋裡了。」

「這個我就知道了！」魔術師說。「她在搬家前告訴我新的住址，讓我在失落時可以隨時去找她。」

「真假？你可以給我她的住址嗎？」灰姑娘懇求道。

「沒問題！只要你不要再打擾我吃飯就好！」魔法師開玩笑的說。「說不定，她能夠幫助你的朋友達成心願喔！」
