A soldier was walking down a country road.

He was coming back from a battle.

He was wearing a knapsack on his back and a big sword on his waist.

When he was walking down the road so tired, he found a witch.
他走的很累的时候，发现了一位女巫。
The witch was sitting right next to a big tree.
女巫坐在一棵大树旁。
The witch started to talk as soon as she saw the soldier.
女巫一看见士兵就开始说
"Hey, soldier! Can you do me a favor? If you can, I will make you have a lot of money."
"嘿，士兵！你能帮我一个忙吗？你要是帮我，我会给你很多钱。"
"Are you serious?"
"真的吗？"
"Look at this tree. The inside of this tree is empty." The witch pointed at a thick and old tree.
"看这棵树。这棵树的里面是空的，"女巫指了指一棵又粗又老的树。
"Get into that hole. I will tie your waist up with a rope.
"进入这个树洞。我用根绳子绑住你的腰。
There are three rooms if you go down, and each room has a dog.
如果你下去，会发现有三个房间，每个房间里面都有一只狗。
The dogs will be quiet as soon as they see this apron.
他们只要看见这条围裙就安静了。
A box in the first room is full of bronze coins.
第一个房间里有一个装满了青铜色硬币的盒子。
In the second room, a box is full of silver coins, and a box in the third room is full of gold coins. Take as much as you want".
在第二个房间，有一个装满了银币的盒子，而第三个房间里的那个盒子里装满了金币。你想要哪个都可以。"
"Then, what do you want me to do?" The soldier doubted her and asked.
"那么，你想让我做什么？"士兵半信半疑地问。
"Bring me a flint in a small box." "Why do you need such a small and unimportant flint?"
"把小盒子里的火石给我就行。""你为什么需要这样一个毫无用处的火石？"
"It is the flint from my grandmother, so I want to get it."
"这是我祖母留下来的，所以我想拿到它。"
The soldier tied a rope to his waist and put the apron on his knapsack.

Then, he entered the tree hole and went down.

It was rolling its eyes as big as oranges.

"Good dog, sit on this apron." The soldier held the dog and put it on the apron.
"狗狗乖，坐在这条围裙上。"士兵把狗抱在围裙上。
The black dog became very nice as the witch said.
就跟巫婆说的一样那只黑色的狗很乖。
He put the coins in the box into his knapsack.
