2.l.17 笑话《王子和公主》

October 11, 2016

The prince was under a curse and he could only say one word every one year. Hence, he did not speak for 5 years so that he could tell a princess something very important. Five years passed and when he finally could say five words, something shocking happened...

王子被施了魔法,一年只能说一个字。他五年没说话,攒够能讲五个字时,来到公主面前说:“公主我爱你”。公主只回答了一个字,王子就晕倒了。公主说“啥?”
