D(2025·江苏扬州江都区期末)
I was becoming thinner and thinner. When my master noticed this, he thought I would not live much longer. But it was clear that he wanted to make as much money out of me as he could. While he was thinking about how to do this, he was asked to bring me to the palace.
The Queen and her ladies had heard about me and wanted to see me. When we arrived in front of the Queen, I fell on my knees. But she kindly held out her hand to me. “Would you enjoy living here in the palace?”
“Great queen,” I answered, “I must do what my master wants, but if I were free, I would want to spend my whole life following your orders. ”
She bought me from my master at once. He was happy to get a good price for me, especially as he felt sure I would not live longer than a month. When my master had left the palace alone, the Queen asked, “Why didn’t you say goodbye to him? And why did you look at him so coldly?”
“Madam, I must tell you,” I replied. “Since he found me, my master has used me as an easy way of making money for himself. He’s made me work so hard that I feel tired and ill. That caused my weight loss. He’s sold me to you only because he thinks I’m going to die soon. But I feel better already, as I belong to such a great and good queen now. ” The Queen was surprised to hear such intelligent words from such a small creature, and decided to show me to her husband.

D（2025·江苏扬州江都区期末）
我变得越来越瘦。当我的主人注意到这一点时，他认为我活不了多久了。但很明显，他想从我身上尽可能多地赚钱。正当他思考如何做到这一点时，他被要求把我带到宫殿里。
王后和她的宫女们听说了我的事，想要见见我。当我们到达王后面前时，我跪了下来。但她亲切地向我伸出手。“你愿意在宫殿里生活吗？”
“伟大的王后，”我回答道，“我必须照我主人的意思去做，但如果我自由了，我愿意一生都听从你的命令。”
她立刻从我的主人那里买下了我。他很高兴能以一个好价钱把我卖掉，尤其是因为他确信我活不过一个月。当我的主人独自离开宫殿后，王后问道：“你为什么不跟他道别？你为什么那么冷淡地看着他？”
“夫人，我必须告诉您，”我回答道，“自从他找到我，我的主人就把我当作他赚钱的一种简单方式。他让我拼命工作，我感到疲惫不堪，还生了病。这导致了我的体重下降。他把我卖给您，只是因为他认为我很快就会死了。但我现在感觉好多了，因为我现在属于这样一位伟大而善良的王后。”王后听到这么小的生物说出如此聪明的话，感到很惊讶，于是决定把我介绍给她的丈夫。
