One day, as he was leaving for a long voyage to conduct his work, he asked his daughters what they would like him to bring back to them.

"I would love a beautiful set of shiny pearls." "I would like a set of sparkling diamonds." "Dear father,

I would like a beautiful singing nightingale."

Very well my children if I can manage to get it then you shall have it.
7
He bid farewell to his daughters and left

The merchant bought the pearls for his eldest daughter and diamonds for his second daughter.

12
He went on and on till he found a magnificent castle with a tall tree at the side of it.
13
Upon that tree sat a beautiful nightingale, singing melodiously.
14
I have got to you at the right time.
15
Go up that tree and get that nightingale for my daughter.
16
Just as the servant was about to approach the tree, a lion jumped out from behind the tree and roared so loud that the leaves on the tree trembled.
17
Who dares to steal my nightingale?
18
I will eat you up, the thief.
19
My apologies, almighty lion.

I did not know that the bird is yours.
21
Please spare my life.
22
I shall pay you a heavy ransom for my mistake. when you return home.

If you agree, I shall spare your life and give you the bird as well. But... But...
24
What if it is my Amelia?
25
Do not worry, sir.
26
It is not necessary that your daughter will be the first to meet you.
27
It might just be a cat or a dog.

The merchant had been persuaded.
29
He took the nightingale and made his promise to the lion and left to go back home.
30
When the merchant reached home, his youngest daughter Amelia ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
31
After seeing that he brought the nightingale, she was filled with joy.
32
The merchant could not rejoice and began to cry.
33
make a promise to the Lion Prince that I will send him the first person I meet.
34
I fear that he will tear you to pieces when he has you in his power.
35
The merchant explained all that had happened.
36
Oh, father, a promise is a promise, and it must be fulfilled.
37
I must go to the Lion Prince.
38
No, please, he will kill you.
39
Nothing can change what's written in my fate.
40
Isn't that what you taught us, father?
41
The merchant was taken back.
42
Do not worry, father.
43
My heart tells me that I will be fine, and the heart is always right.
44
Also something that you have taught us.
45
The next day, Amelia left for the forest while her father and sisters cried as they waved her goodbye.
46
I hope the Lion Prince is kind to her, and we get to see your little sister again.
47
The Lion was actually an enchanted Prince.
48
By day he was a mighty Lion, as were all of his followers, and by night they would transform back into human form.
49
When Amelia reached the forest, she was received kindly, and was taken to the castle on a golden carriage led by lions.
50
When Amelia entered the castle, she was welcomed by a pride of lions who carried many gifts for her.
51
Welcome, my beautiful queen.
52
I see that your father has stood by his promise.
53
And I am glad that you were the first to see him as you are very beautiful.
54
I shall be honored to have you as my wife.
55
I am greatly flattered, but I do not share your happiness.
56
as I fear that you are a lion.
57
Just then, a ray of moonlight shone through the window, and the Lion Prince magically transformed, leaving a handsome prince before her.
58
I am actually a prince, and we have been bound by an enchantment that makes us lions by day.
59
Amelia smiled, for she was happy and in love with the Lion Prince.
60
Amelia agreed to marry the prince and the wedding was held at once with due magnificence.
61
They lived happily together as lions would, sleeping through the day and staying up all night.
62
One day, the lion prince came up to her and said, There is a festival at your father's house tomorrow to celebrate the marriage of your eldest sister.
63
If you wish, the lions could escort you.
64
That would be so lovely.
65
I am so eager to see my father.
66
Then I shall call for the lions immediately, and they will take you there in grand style.
67
But, my Prince, I will not go alone.
68
You will come along as well.
69
My Queen, it is too dangerous.
70
For even if a small beam of light touches me, I will turn into a dove and would have to fly about for seven years.
71
Do not worry.
72
I will make sure to keep you safe and protect you from every ray of light.
73
And thus, the Prince and the Princess set out to go for the wedding.
74
The merchant and his daughters were happy at the sight of Amelia.
75
and were delighted to learn about the Lion Prince.
76
They welcomed the Lion Prince with love.
77
The Princess had a great hall built with walls so thick that no ray of light could penetrate through them.
78
This was where the lion was to retire when the torches and candles were kindled.
79
But since the wood was fresh, it split, causing a crack so small, that when the procession of people with torches and lights came back from the wedding,
80
a small ray of light about the size of a hare fell upon the Lion Prince.
81
Within a second, the Lion Prince turned into a dove.
82
When Amelia returned, she saw nothing but a white dove sitting there.
83
For the next seven years I will have to fly about, and at every seventh step I shall drop a white feather, and if you follow it,
84
you can set me free.
85
Princess Amelia followed the white dove as a white
86
Amelia followed the trail of white feathers all the way without any rest.
87
Oh, I am so glad that these seven years are almost over.
88
We shall soon be free of our troubles.
89
But it was long before Princess Amelia and the Prince would be free.
90
One day the white feathers ceased to drop, and Amelia was worried.
91
A man cannot help me with this.
92
Princess Amelia climbed up a tree and called out to the sun.
93
"Oh, sun, so bright you shine from valleys to mountain peaks, from land to mine.
94
Do you know where I can find a white dove of mine?" "No, little child.
95
I have not seen a white dove.
96
But take this little casket and use it when you are in dire need." When the moon shone out,
97
she went up to the moon and asked, "Oh, beautiful moon, you shine all night over field and forest.
98
Have you seen a white dove flying by?" "No, I haven't.
99
But here is an egg.
100
Crack it open when you are in need." Princess Amelia thanked the moon, went on looking for the prince.
101
Have you seen a white dove flying by?
102
I have seen the white dove.
103
It has flown away to the Caspian Sea, where it has regained its form of a lion, and is fighting with a mighty dragon,
104
who is an enchanted princess named Asteria.
105
be able to master the dragon and they both will regain their human form.
106
Next, you will find a majestic winged griffin who dwells by the Gaspian Sea.
107
Hop onto its back with your beloved prince and it will carry you back across the sea.
108
Drop the magic wand when you are in the middle of the ocean
109
and out of it will immediately spring up tall trees the directions to cross the sea.
110
Amelia thanked the wind and set out on her journey.
111
When she reached the Caspian Sea, she found the Lion Prince and the Dragon fighting.
112
She immediately removed her magic wand and pointed it towards the dragon.
113
Abracadabra!
114
The magic from the wand hit the dragon and it dropped into the ground.
115
The Lion Prince put his paw on the dragon's head and immediately returned to his human form.
116
The dragon too returned to her human form and transformed into Princess Asteria.
117
Just as they were free, Princess Asteria looked at the Lion Prince and fell in love.
118
She immediately cast a spell on him, took the Prince in her arms and magically disappeared.
119
"No !"
120
I will search far and wide till I find my prince.
121
She hopped onto the griffon's back and and followed the direction of the wind.
122
She went on and on till she came across a castle where the wind stopped blowing.
123
Amelia understood that this is where her prince was.
124
She thanked the griffon and then entered the castle.
125
When she spoke to the people of the kingdom, they told her about the grand festival that was held to celebrate the wedding of the prince and princess.
126
Oh heaven help me!
127
Just then, Amelia opened the casket, given by the sun, and out came a beautiful dress, as brilliant as the sun itself.
128
She also cracked open the egg that the moon had given her, and out came a golden hen.
129
She entered the castle wearing the dress, carrying the golden hen.
130
Everyone looked at her with amazement, including the bride -to -be.
131
that she went up to her immediately.
132
This dress is so magnificent.
133
I would like to buy it from you along with the hen.
134
You may have it, but in return, you must let me speak with the bridegroom in his chamber tonight.
135
Princess Asteria was hesitant, but she wanted the dress and the hen so bad that she finally consented.
136
Later that night, she ordered the chamberlain The Lion Prince a sleeping draft.
137
The Prince who was nearby heard some murmurs and later asked the Chamberlain what it was all about.
138
The Chamberlain confessed to the Prince that he was ordered to slip in a sleeping draught in his drink, as a poor girl was to be in the room with him that night.
139
Pour the drink and keep it by my bed.
140
That night, when the moon shone bright, Princess Amelia was taken to the chambers to speak with the Prince.
141
The Lion Prince, meanwhile, pretended to be asleep.
142
Sun and Moon and the Four Winds to look for you.
143
I helped you master the dragon.
144
Will you forget me now?
145
He recognized the voice of his dear wife immediately.
146
For the first time, I am truly free, for it has all been like a dream.
147
Princess Asteria has cast a spell on me, leaving me to forget you, my love.
148
But your love has blessed me and broken that spell.
149
Oh, my prince!
150
I have gone to the ends of the earth to find you!
151
How glad am I to finally get you back!
152
Let us hurry and get out of this place before the enchanted princess finds us.
153
The prince and princess quietly snuck out of the castle, for they feared that the princess Asteria might catch them.
154
They mounted the griffon who carried them over the Caspian Sea and took them back to their castle in the forest.
155
The lions turned to their human form and rejoiced.
156
The Lion Prince couldn't thank Princess Amelia enough and loved her dearly,

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
