Once upon a time, there lived a kind-hearted couple who longed for a child of their own.

從前，有一對善良的夫妻，他們渴望有一個自己的孩子。

They were overjoyed when they finally had a beautiful daughter, who they named Kongjui.

當他們終於有了一個漂亮的女兒，他們給女兒取名叫孔雀，他們高興極了。

Surrounded by the love and care of her parents, Kongjui grew up to be pretty, clever, and gentle.

在父母的愛護下，孔翠從小就長得漂亮、聰明、溫柔。

One day, Kongjui’s mother fell ill, and her condition grew worse day by day.

Kongjui…my child…farewell...

孔雀......我的孩子......再見......。

No…don’t leave me…/ No…dearest wife…

不......不要離開我....../不......親愛的妻子......。

Kongjui and her father were left all alone.

孔翠和她的父親就這樣孤零零地被留在了這裡。

Kongjui’s father mourned the loss of his wife, but after a while he married again and Kongjui got a stepmother.

孔聚的父親喪妻，但過了一段時間，他又結婚了，孔聚有了一個後媽。

The new stepmother came to live with them and brought her own daughter, Patjui.

新繼母來和他們一起生活，還帶著自己的女兒八翠。

Welcome Mother, I am Kongjui.

歡迎媽媽，我是孔雀。

Mama, Mama, I want her dress!

媽媽，媽媽，我想要她的衣服！

Of course you can have it sweetie! You know you can have anything you want…

當然，你可以擁有它，親愛的！你知道你可以擁有任何你想要的東西... ...

Mama, can I have those shoes too?

媽媽，這雙鞋也可以給我嗎？

Oh you remind me of myself, when I was your age! Such a pretty girl should always have the best of everything!

哦，你讓我想起了我自己，我在你這個年紀的時候!這麼漂亮的女孩兒，什麼都應該是最好的!

You know Kongjui, you are a whole year older than Patjui.

你知道孔居，你比八居整整大了一歲。

It is only right that you should share everything with your younger sister. Isn’t that right?

什麼事都要和妹妹分享才對。對不對？

Oh…!? Ah…of course…I will.

哦...！？啊...當然...我會的。

Ha ha ha! Give me that! Now!

哈哈哈！給我！給我！

The new stepmother and Patjui were very cruel to poor Kongjui.

新繼母和八翠對可憐的孔翠非常殘忍。

They took all the good food and fine clothes for themselves while Kongjui had to wear rags and work very hard.

他們把好吃的、好穿的都佔為己有，而孔居卻要穿得破破爛爛，非常辛苦。

Kongjui! Over here! / Kongjui!

孔雀！這裡！/ 孔雀！

We are going to the market. Take this jar and fill it with water. Okay, Kongjui?

我們要去市場。把這個罐子拿去裝水吧。好嗎，孔雀？

Yes, mother..

And don’t you dare be lazy! Fill that jar!

你可別偷懶！把罐子裝滿！

I’ve been drawing water all morning, but the jar won’t stay full…Oh, no! There’s a hole in it!

我汲了一上午的水，但罐子裡的水一直裝不下......哦，不!上面有一個洞!

But what do I do now? Mother will be furious with me!

但我現在該怎麼辦？媽媽會對我發火的!

As Kongjui sat there crying helplessly, a toad sidled over to her.

當孔翠坐在那裡無助地哭泣時，一隻癩蛤蟆側身向她走來。

Don’t cy, Kongjui. Maybe I can help you.

別哭了，孔雀也許我可以幫你

If I close the hole with my body, you will be able to fill the jar. Let’s try it.

如果我用身體把洞堵上，你就能把罐子裝滿。試試吧

With the toad’s help, Kongjui was finally able to fill the jar and bring it home.

在蛤蟆的幫助下，孔雀終於把罐子裝滿，帶回家。

Kongjui’s stepmother and Patjui were shocked to see the jar filled to the brim when they returned.

孔聚的繼母和八聚回來後，看到罐子裝得滿滿的，很是震驚。

What? How did she manage to fill that jar?

什麼 她是怎麼把那個罐子裝滿的？

The following day, the stepmother decided to come up with an even greater challenge for Kongjui.

第二天，繼母決定給孔聚提出更大的挑戰。

Kongjui, I want you to plow the pebble field. Here, use this hoe.

孔雀，我想讓你去犁卵石地。來，用這把鋤頭

But…I can’t do it with a wooden hoe!

可是......我用木頭鋤頭做不到啊!

Don’t talk back and do as you’re told! And you’d better do it well, okay?

不要頂嘴，要聽話! 而且你最好好好做，好嗎？

Oh…this is impossible….and now my hoe has broken in half! What do I do now?

哦......這不可能......現在我的鋤頭已經斷成兩半了!我現在該怎麼辦？

An ox saw Kongjui crying and came over to her.

一頭牛見孔翠哭了，就過來找她。

Listen Kongjui, there’s no cause for tears. Look, I can use my big, strong jaws to tear out the weeds. Watch…

聽著，孔雀，沒有什麼好流淚的。你看，我可以用我那又大又結實的下巴把雜草扯出來。你看...

The ox wandered across the pebble field chewing up the weeds as he went.

牛在卵石地裡遊走，邊走邊嚼著雜草。

Thanks to his help, the field was soon plowed.

在他的幫助下，很快就把田地犁好了。

How is this possible? How could you have plowed the entire field yourself?

這怎麼可能？自己怎麼可能把整片田地都耕好了？

A few days later, there was a big feast in the village.

幾天後，村裡大擺筵席。

Kongjui’s stepmother and Patjui spent the whole morning before the mirror

but only after you dry and mill three sacks of rice in the pantry and loom one roll of fabric.

不做完就不要來！明白了嗎？你明白嗎？

But..I can’t do all of that in one day…

但是... 我不可能在一天內完成所有的事情... ...

That is your concern. Do as you’re told, and don’t talk back!

那是你的事。聽話，不要頂嘴!

Ha! Her little tricks won’t help her now. She will never get all of this done in one day!

哈！她的小把戲現在幫不了她了。她永遠不會在一天內完成所有這些工作！

There is no way that I can finish all this milling and weaving in one day…

我不可能在一天內完成所有的銑削和編織... ...

At those words, some sparrows flew in and sat beside her.

這話一出，一些麻雀飛來，坐在她身邊。

Don’t be sad, Kongjui, we have come to help you.

孔雀，你不要傷心，我們是來幫你的。

Oh, thank you!!
