Once there was a magical fairy who had the gift of making wishes come true.Every half-moon she helped one elf(精靈) to achieve one wish.Lately,however,it was hard to decide whose wish would be the next to come true.It wasn't that there were so many elves who should have a wish achieved for their excellent performance.It was that there were so many who shouldn't have it at all because of their bad behaviour.
So on the night of the next half-moon she thought of a plan to find a worthy elf.She put on some dirty old clothes and turned herself into a beggar and walked into the magic forest.
Soon she saw an elf holding a cup of hot tea in his hands. "Good day,good friend.I seem to have lost my way," she said in a raspy voice. "Could you please help me get home?"
"Why me?" The elf blew steam from his cup. "There are lots of other elves around." "Okay," said the beggar. "I'll find someone else."
She soon came upon a second elf polishing stones. "Good day,good friend." The beggar sighed. "I'm a little bit lost.I don't suppose you could help guide me home?"
"Why now?" said the elf. "I'm busy.Can't you see?" "Never mind." The beggar shook her head.
The third elf she came upon was sleeping under a mushroom.The beggar tapped his shoulder with her cane. "Good day,good friend.I seem to be lost.Could you help me find my way home?"
"Why bother?" The elf yawned. "I'd rather take a nap." He rolled over and went back to sleep.
The beggar sighed.Then she sat down to think.Soon she heard some noise.She looked up to find an elf riding a little horse.He wore like a prince.
"Silly elf," the beggar said to herself in a low voice. "He thinks he's someone special." "What's troubling you,my friend?" he asked.
The beggar said, "Oh,dear prince,no one seems to care about my problems.I've asked three elves to help me get home.The first said, 'Why me?' The second said 'Why now?' The third said 'Why bother?' Would you help me?"
The prince stopped for a moment and then said, "Why not?"
The beggar's eyes lit up. "That's the most wonderful answer of all!"
"But there's something you should know," the prince said,as he helped the beggar up on his horse. "I'm not really a prince.I'm an ordinary elf with extraordinary dreams.That's why I dress this way."
"Well,there's something you should know,too.I'm not really a lost and lonely beggar.I'm really a magical fairy."
The elf turned around,and sure enough,a fairy was sitting behind him.With a magic wand in her hand,she waved it over his head.
"You are a prince," she said. " in more ways than one."
