The Wicked Prince
邪恶王子
There once was a King whose son was a dishonest telltale. This Prince would threaten to punish the servants if they ever let the King know this.
从前有个国王，他有个儿子，但他儿子成天说谎。这位王子威胁仆人说，如果让国王知道这件事，便会惩罚他们。
One day, the King and the Prince left the castle together. They arrived at a village, at which point they separated. The Prince went back to his normal behaviour, getting on everyone's nerves, but the King returned unannounced and caught the Prince red-handed, up to his tricks.
一天，国王和王子一起出了城堡，来到一个小村庄，在这里他们分开了。王子回到城堡里又恢复了以往行为，这使得人心惶惶。突然国王回来了，恰好撞见了王子的恶行。
The Prince took advantage of the fact that in that village there was a youth who looked just like him. He told his father that it had been the youth who had done all these bad things.
王子狡辩说村子里有一个和他长得很像的年轻人，是那个年轻人干了这些坏事。
However, the King, seeing what a lying snitch this person was, concluded that the boy in the village must be his real son, the Prince.
不料，国王看到眼前这个人满口谎言，于是断定村庄里的男孩才是他真正的儿子，王子。
So the King took the boy back with him to the palace, and left the real Prince in the village. While there, the Prince finally came to regret his previous life filled with lies and accusations. The other young man heard of this, and decided to forgive the Prince. He confessed to the King that he wasn't his real son after all. The King left the castle and brought his son home, and the two young men ended up as inseparable friends.
于是，国王把男孩带回王宫，却把真正的王子打发到村子里。到了村庄里，王子终于意识到并对之前充满谎言的生活充满悔恨。年轻人听说了这件事，决定原谅王子。他向国王坦白自己不是国王的亲生儿子。国王把自己的儿子带回了家。这两个年轻人最后成了形影不离的朋友。
