A Little Princess
Lottie
Miss Amelia
One morning Sara heard an angry cry of a little girl "Oh, Lottie, stop, please!" Miss Amelia, Miss Minchin's sister, was trying to stop her crying. But Lottie cried even more loudly. Sara came near them and said quietly, "Miss Amelia, may I try to make her stop crying?" "Oh, Sara, can you?" Miss Amelia said and went out of the room. Sara and Lottie looked at each other without a word. "I don't have any ma-ma-a! the child cried out first. "Neither do I," said Sara. Lottie, a four-year-old child, stopped crying and asked, "Where is she?" "She went to heaven. That is where your mama is, too," Sara answered.
一天早上莎拉听到一个小女孩非常愤怒的哭声。“哦，洛蒂，求求你停下来。”阿米莉娅小姐，闵钦小姐的妹妹，正在试着让她停止哭泣。但是洛蒂甚至哭的更大声了。莎拉走近她们并轻声说“阿米莉娅小姐，我能试试让她停止哭泣吗？”“哦，莎拉，你可以吗？”阿米莉娅小姐说，并走出了房间。莎拉和洛蒂互相打量了一下并没说话。 “我没有妈妈！”这个孩子先哭了起来。“我也是”莎拉说。洛蒂，一个四岁的孩子，停止哭泣并问道“她在哪？”“她去天堂了。那也是你妈妈在的地方。”莎拉回答道。 ——译文来自: luying926
