一个鞋匠离开他所在的村子。

Along the way, he found some ants, who were very very sad because a bear had destroyed their anthill.

半路上，他看到一群蚂蚁。蚂蚁们难过极了，因为一头熊毁了它们的家。

The shoemaker helped them rebuild it, and the ants offered to return the favor.

The young man also helped them, and the bees promised to help him in the future.

这个年轻人也帮助了蜜蜂，而蜜蜂同样承诺将来会回报他。

Further along, the shoemaker learned that the King’s daughter was in the castle of a witch. 

又走了很远，鞋匠听说，国王的女儿被困在女巫的城堡里。

The young man decided to rescue her. But the witch locked him up in a stinking dungs on with a sack of sand mixed with poppy seeds and told him that if he wasn’t able to separate the two, she would cut off his head at dawn.

年轻人决定把公主救回来。然而女巫把他锁在了一个臭烘烘的粪堆旁，扔给他一袋混在一起的沙子和罂粟种子。如果他不能在天亮前把两种东西分开，就会被砍掉脑袋。

The young man thought about his death. But his friends the ants came and helped him pass the test.

年轻人以为他死定了。没想到，他的朋友蚂蚁来了，帮助他通过了这个考验。

The witch was astounded. Then she took him to a room where there were thirteen maidens with their faces covered: the shoemaker had to discover which one was the princess.

女巫大吃一惊，接着她把年轻人带到了一个房间，里面有十三个蒙着面纱的少女：鞋匠必须从中找出真正的公主。

The young man became discouraged but he saw a bee that landed on... the sweetest one, the true princess.

年轻人气馁了，但这时，他看到了一只蜜蜂落在一位少女身上……她就是真正的公主。

When the shoemaker uncovered her face, the witch was changed into a crow. 

当鞋匠揭开公主的面纱时，女巫变成了一只乌鸦。

The young people fell in love and lived surrounded by animals and poppies.

年轻人跟公主坠入爱河，动物们和罂粟花都围绕着他们。
