Wizard Changing Hearts

Yi Nesbitt

Everyone has their own hobbies. I like to eat sankan, you may play with cars, but the wizard Taijin is keen to attend the naming ceremony - and it is held by the royal family. He wished he was invited to the naming ceremony of every royal baby, but he was never that lucky, because he was neither a lord nor a duke, or any other real upper-class person, not even a merchant who sold bacon or tea. He was just a teasing wizard who, because he was frugal and good at catering to customers, ran his own business and opened a decent shop. He wasn't born into mischief. I'm sure he was pretty good when he was just born. His old nurse was always gawking, he said, and he was a very clever little baby at the time, wearing a tartan top and having fun chubby calves.

The wet nurse later married a farmer and went to the country to live a quiet pastoral life. Tykin, like some people, was originally good, but since he was a teenager, he has changed - maybe it has something to do with his occupation. I dare you to notice that it is usually the thin people who mend shoes, the fat people who brew beer are nine times out of ten, and the wizards, almost all of them, are scumbags.

Later, his longing for the naming ceremony became more and more painful, because he never got his wish. In the end, as the Irish attendants at the court said, he came to "solve the problem by himself" and went to a naming ceremony by himself without being invited. It was a very splendid banquet hosted by the King of the Lucky Islands. The little prince was named Futuneth. At the banquet, no one paid attention to Tykin. Although they were quite polite and did not push him out of the gate, they also told him not to come again. Only then did he realize that he was indeed a socially unpopular bumpkin!

So he was furious. So, as the wise and lively fairy godmothers hugged the blue satin cradle with smiles, wishing the little one beauty, strength, and happiness, suddenly the wizard murmured an inexplicable spell (as if you were doing mental arithmetic), and then opened his mouth: "Little Forty may live up to expectations, but I say he will be the stupidest prince in the world." Saying that, he puffed out a stream of delicious fireworks, just like on November 5th at Streamham Hill. When the portrait of Guy Fawkes was burned in his back garden, it emitted a choking smoke, and then he slowly disappeared in the red smoke. When he left, he did not leave an address, so the King of the Lucky Islands could not accuse him of treason.

When Taijin thought about it, he made so many people frown, and he couldn't help but frown and be complacent. After he left, the whole court shed tears, and the little treasure master couldn't stop crying... Then, he looked for news of other royal naming ceremonies in the newspapers, so that he could go to the banquet to make more people cry. Then, on Wednesday, a royal family happened to hold a naming ceremony, and wizards dressed as rich businesspeople went to participate.

This time, the little chief treasure is a girl. Taijin has always stayed close to the cradle of the treasure master's pink velvet.

When everyone was blessing that the princess would be endowed with all the virtues in the world, Taijin suddenly spoke up: "Little Arnold may live up to her expectations, but I said she would be the ugliest princess in the world. In an instant, the princess really turned into an ugly, terrifying ugly! The princess was originally a most handsome baby, and everyone said in unison that they had never seen such a beautiful doll!... Things like this happened one after another at the royal family naming ceremony.

After the wizard had made the unfortunate princess ugly, he was about to slip away. But to his great surprise:

After he murmured the spell (just as you spell words), there was neither a red smoke nor a smell, but he remained where he wanted to leave. This is because a fairy has been watching attentively by his side, waiting for him to cast a magic to save the princess in time. At that time, the fairy was quick to use a small and powerful way of immobilization, and immediately blocked the way of the wizard. This fairy is the Fairy of Kindness. Of course you know that the magic of the fairy family is always much better than the magic of the demon, and it is also more suitable for use in the living room. The wizard stood blankly on the spot, as someone sneered: "It looks like a pig struck by lightning." Then, Immortal Kindness leaned over and kissed the little princess.

"All right!" she said. "Your Majesty can keep my kiss for the coming day. You will know how to use it if you need it. Please don't let the wizard slip away, it's better to arrest him immediately!" "Pull this man down!" The king pointed to Tykin and ordered, "Fairy, the widow thinks your spells are effective for a long time." "That's true!" said the fairy. "At least it can be used when it is not needed." The wizard was locked in a towering pagoda, and he was still allowed to play magic, but all his spells did not work outside the pagoda. Sentinels watched outside the tower day and night, and the extra two posts made it impossible for him to take a step over the thunder pool. The king originally wanted to put the wizard to death, but Fairy Kindness reminded that it was impossible to do so.

"Your Majesty doesn't know," said Immortal Good Heart. "Only he can restore the princess to her original beauty.

One day he will do it. Don't beg him now. He never wants to do good things for others. Alas, that's the kind of person! "The years passed quickly, and the wizard was still playing magic in the pagoda, very bored, because if you suddenly hit the hat and pulled out the little white rabbits, and then conjured the hat out of thin air, and no one was watching, how disappointing!

Prince Futuneth was a foolish, imbecile, poor boy, and our story was unknown shortly after it began. Later, he wandered around the country, saying that his name was James.

A baker's wife found out, adopted him, and sold him the diamond buttons of a small coat for £300. The woman was honest and kind, saving £200 for James to use when he grew up.

Year after year passed, and Arnold was still so ugly that he frowned all day. On her 20th birthday, her married cousin Billinda came to see her. Billinda was also ugly in her cradle, so she can sympathize with her more than others.

"You see, I'm completely free of magic now, and so will you," Billinda said. "Get a wizard first!" "Father drove them all away 20 years ago," Arnold said through the veil. "It's just that the wizard who made me look like a ghost is still there." "Then go to him," said beautiful Billinda. "You dress up as a beggar girl and pay him £50 to do it, and don't give him a penny more, or he'll suspect you're not a beggar. That must be very amusing. I wanted to go with you, but I agreed with Bellamante that I would go home for lunch. "After she finished speaking, she got into the four-wheeled carriage inlaid with mother-of-pearl and left, leaving Arnold alone to read the hardcover" Ladies "in the imperial study. She wanted to see what a beggar girl was dressed like.

It was the morning Arnold was going to find the wizard, and the wizard's old nurse brought ham, eggs, honey, apples, and so on, and a bouquet of fragrant flowers - tied in a quaint and chic way, and invited the baker's adopted son to lead the horse and go on the way to see the wizard. It has been more than 40 years since I last saw the wizard, but the old nurse still loves him as much as ever, and thinks that now is just the time to do some work for the wizard. After hearing about the wizard's whereabouts in the city, the nurse learned that the wizard was locked in the black tower.

'But you must be careful, 'said the man in town.' He's a scoundrel! " Bless you, 'said the old nurse.' He won't hurt me. I nursed him when he was little.

At that time, he was wearing a tartan shirt, and he had a pair of chubby calves, such a lovable calf, I'm sure you haven't seen it yet. "The nurse came to the black tower, and the guards let her in. Tykin was happy to see her, (you know, no one has come to visit him for more than 20 years!) But when he saw the ham and honey brought, he was so happy!

"Where did I put the eggs?" said the nurse, and the apples... must have left them at home! "She did. The wizard made a move, and immediately a basket of apples appeared in the empty place. And the eggs, which he took out from the little round hat of the nurse, from the creases of the shawl, and even from his own mouth, were taken out one by one, like a magician's tricks. But he is no ordinary magician!

'My God! 'said the nurse.' It's exactly the same as conjuring! '"It's conjuring," said Tykin. "It's my profession. It's a joy to have an audience again. I've lived here alone for over 20 years, and it's so boring, especially at night, it's even harder!" "Why don't you go out?" asked the nurse.

"No, the imperial decree must be obeyed. It's a pig and dog life here." As he spoke, he sobbed, and he turned a handkerchief from the air and wiped his eyes.

"My dear, accept an apprentice!" said the nurse.

"You want me to teach magic to others? I won't do it!" "Take an apprentice who is too stupid to learn anything, okay?" "That's fine... but there's no way to advertise for an idiot... and you can't." "No need to advertise," said the nurse, and went out and led James in. This James is actually the prince of the Lucky Islands, and now the baker's adopted son. The nurse was brought with her to lead her horse.

"Well, James," she said, "would you like to be an apprentice?" "Yes," replied the poor silly child.

"James, then give your money to this gentleman!" James handed over the money.

"My last fears are gone!" said the wizard. "He is indeed an idiot. Mammy! Let's have something to drink to celebrate this day! But don't set this precedent in front of children. James, wash the dishes! Silly boy, not here, but in the back kitchen." James scrubbed the dishes. He stumbled stupidly, and accidentally broke a bottle of beauty essence on the shelf. In an instant, a very beautiful phantom of a princess appeared from the dishwashing water - extremely charming! James couldn't help but see how beautiful she was. When the princess floated over the sink, James couldn't help but stretch out his arms to her, but as soon as the arms were stretched out, the princess quietly disappeared.

James sighed, more vigorously than before.

"If only I hadn't been so stupid!" he said. After a while, there was a bang on the door. James dried his hands and went to open the door. At the opening stood a man in shabby clothes, who was actually the princess. The visitor asked, "Excuse me, is the wizard Tykin at home?" "Come in!" James said.

"Oh, my God! What day is it today! Three guests are visiting in one morning. Thank you for coming, please take a seat!" "I would like to ask you to give me something to eat?" The veiled princess replied.

"A glass of wine?" Tykin said. "A glass of wine, will you?" "No, thank you!" replied the beggar girl dressed as the princess.

"Then... lift your veil!" said the nurse, "or you will feel in the way when you go out." "No," said Princess Arno, "it's not safe!" "Is it because it's too beautiful? Huh?" asked the wizard, "But... you are safe here!" "Can you cast magic?" she asked suddenly.

"Even if you know how to order it!" the wizard said playfully.

"That's great!" she said. "But I found it! I'm so ugly that no one can stand to see me.

Besides, I want to be a cook in the palace. They need a cook, a servant for rough work, and a cook. I thought you might be able to give me something to make me look better. I'm just a poor beggar... If I could do it, it would help me a lot! "" What nonsense! "Tykin really got angry and exclaimed," What, I wouldn't give a beggar magic! "" Here's two pence, "poor James put the money in the princess' hand and whispered," it's all my money. "" Thank you! 'she answered in a low voice,' you are so kind! 'After the princess finished speaking, she turned to the wizard and said,' I happen to have fifty pounds, all for you, please give me a new face! "" Okay, "Tykin exclaimed," another idiot! "He grabbed the money, waved his wand, and pointed at it here and there, and the nurse and apprentice were stunned, watching the ugly beggar girl suddenly turned into the most beautiful princess in the world.

"My God!" cried the nurse.

"My beauty!" The apprentice shouted.

"Excuse me," said the princess, "let me look in the mirror, okay?" The apprentice ran to take the mirror off the sink and handed it to her. "Ah!" said the princess, "Really, how beautiful! How can I thank you?" "That's easy!" said the wizard, "Even though you are a beggar girl, I will give you my hands and my heart and propose to you!" He reached into his vest and took it out. It was a fat pink heart, and the princess didn't even bother to look at it. "Thank you very much." "But I can't accept it," she said. "But what if I insist?" Tykin said.

"Really, your request..." "I dare say, it's so interesting!" said the nurse.

"I have another love," the princess said, lowering her eyes, "I can't marry you." "Do you want me to take this as your rejection?" Tykin asked. The princess said that, in her opinion, I am afraid that is the case.

"All right!" said the wizard, "I'll take you home and listen to Ling Zun. He won't allow you to refuse such a marriage. Mammy, come and help me tie my tie." The wizard walked out the door, and the nurse followed him.

The princess hurriedly explained the truth to the apprentice.

"Let him take me home, but never!" said the princess. "If he knew I was a princess, he would make me ugly again in no time." "Then don't let him take you home," said James. "I'm stupid, but I still have strength." "You are so brave!" Arnold said in a tone of praise. "But don't bother! I've quietly gained weight myself! Will you open that special lock on the door?" The apprentice tried. However, he was too stupid to do anything, and the princess was not strong enough...

"I'm so sorry," said the apprentice (the prince), "I can't open it, but when he opens the door in a while, I'll go up and block him, and you can escape. I dreamed of you this morning." He added.

"I dreamed of you too!" she said. "You are not like that!" "Maybe!" poor James said sadly. "The man you dreamed of was not stupid or stupid, and he was completely different from me." "Really?" the princess exclaimed, "Then I am so happy!" "You are happy! Your heart is too cruel!" he said.

"No, if this is the only difference between you and the man of my dreams, then I can make up for it for you right away." As she spoke, the princess put her arms around his shoulders and kissed him. With this kiss, his stupidity vanished immediately. The apprentice became wise at once, which is really enviable. He immediately mastered all the basic courses that should have been learned in the palace, and in addition, he also figured out who he was, where he is now, and why he is here. He also knows the geography of the kingdom, imported and exported goods, political situation, etc. like the back of his hand. At the same time, he also knew that the princess was in love with him.

He hugged and kissed the princess. They were very happy, and they told their hearts again and again: the world is so beautiful! But under this not only beautiful, but also such a vast and boundless world, how wonderful it is that they are destined to meet!

"You know what? The first kiss was a god's kiss," said the princess. "It was given to me by the fairy godmother. I have kept it for you all these years. You must leave here at once and go back to the palace. Ah, you must be able to go back. Now you are smart and capable!" "Yes," he said, "now I am indeed smart, and I have a way to open the lock for you. Go, my dear, and leave before he comes back!" The princess finally took the way and fled. It was a close call! As soon as she stepped out of one door, Tykin punched the other door and stepped in.

When Taijin saw that the princess was gone, he gritted his teeth in anger. When he found out that James was stupid, but he could still open the door for the princess to let her go, his abuse of his apprentice was really unbearable, and I would never record it.

Taijin did everything possible to follow, but the princess had already drawn the attention of the guards, so he couldn't get out of the gate at all.

"Yo," he cried, "it would be great if my magic could break through the tower ban! Then I can take revenge on her right away!" The wizard immediately had a strange feeling, I can't tell what happened, but he clearly realized that the tight spell that bound him, the spell of Immortal Kindness, had quietly failed.

"Go to the palace!" With a shout, he hurried to the cauldron hanging from the fire, jumped in, and jumped out again. At this time, he had turned into a red and red lion, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The prince, the wizard's apprentice, did not hesitate, and immediately followed, reciting the same spell aloud, and jumped into the cauldron. The poor nurse was by the side, screaming in fright, and constantly twisting his hands back and forth. The apprentice could not tell the difference between east, west and west when he touched the soup in the cauldron! In fact, by this time, he had turned into a big green dragon, and then he felt his dragon body disappear completely - a very uncomfortable feeling, and suddenly, he returned to his original appearance and appeared at the back door of the palace. This really surprised him!

After a while, the wizard succeeded in getting the job of a royal chef. It's really puzzling that he didn't prove how he got this beautiful job? I'm afraid it's a changed certificate, just like changing eggs, apples, handkerchiefs, etc.

Taijin noticed that the honest apprentice was following, and he felt very disgusted, but he quickly calmed down, because he understood that a silly cook might be of great use. Of course, he never thought that a kiss had made James smart and capable.

"How are you going to cook?" the apprentice asked. "You can't cook!" "I can cook," Tykin said. "Do it like I do anything else!" So he started. If I have time, I'd love to tell you how he made a 17-course meal out of an empty pot and was steaming; and how the nurse suddenly stepped out of the cupboard as James was looking for spices in the empty cupboard. The wizard has been alone for a long time, so it seems that when he sees people, he likes to show off his wealth: he does everything in his power, jumping from one cupboard to another, and then breaking the empty jar to make a cat, a white parrot; or suddenly making mice and rabbits disappear without a trace, and suddenly flashing in front of his eyes, making James dizzy all the time. The wet nurse burst into tears with joy when she saw her child's indescribable skills, and kept wiping tears while scrubbing the dishes.

"Such excitement is really bad for my heart," said Tykin at last, pulling his heart out of his chest and placing it on the shelf. At this moment, his magic notebook fell from his chest, and his apprentice hurriedly picked it up. Tykin didn't see it, because he was busy fiddling with the light in the kitchen and flying around the house like a dove!

At this moment, the princess came in. She looked more adorable than ever in a plain and elegant white yarn morning dress adorned with diamonds.

"Begging girl!" Tyjin said, "looks like a princess! Anyway, I have to marry her!" "I'm here to ask you to have dinner." After the princess said that, she recognized Tyjin at a glance, gave a soft cry in panic, and stood there in a daze, trembling all over.

"Dinner?" said the nurse. "Then you are...?" "Yes," said Arnold. "I am the princess." "You are the princess?" said the wizard. "Then I must marry you! If you say'no ', I will turn you into an ugly woman. Well, do you think I've always been interested only in chores like cooking...? In fact, I've been making up the most powerful spells in the world. Marry me! Or drink this... "The princess shuddered with fright when she heard the terrifying threat.

"Drink! Or marry me?" said the wizard, "Marry me, and make sure you are always beautiful." "Oh," said the nurse, "he actually climbed the princess!" "I'll go back and tell my father." The princess said sobbing.

"No, no," Tygen said. "Don't let your father know. If you won't marry me, you'll have to drink this and be my dishwasher... the ugliest rough girl... washing dishes in that lonely and deserted black tower for the rest of your life." The wizard grabbed the princess by the wrist.

"Stop!" The apprentice (actually the prince) shouted.

"Stop? Want me to stop? Bah, it's just nonsense!" said the wizard.

"Hey, stop!" said James, "I have your heart!" Really, the wizard's heart was in his hands... he held his heart high in one hand and his kitchen knife in the other.

"One step closer to this princess!" he said, "I'll stab it in with a knife!" The wizard was so frightened that he jumped high with anxiety.

"Hey, pay attention!" cried the wizard, "pay attention to what you are doing, if you are not careful, there will be an accident! What if you slip and fall under your feet? By then, it will be too late for any apology or apology! You have taken my heart! My old life is there!" "I know, the human heart is the lifeblood!" said Futuneus, "Dear sir, you have to be at our mercy. Dear princess, please call the guards, will you?" The wizard had to submit obediently. The guards came in and arrested him. Although the wet nurse cried into tears, she still tried to give a pretty good light meal. After the meal, the wizard was taken to the king.

When the king saw that his daughter had become so beautiful, he immediately issued a decree to summon many princes. The king was eager to marry the princess, for fear that she would become ugly, so he did not care about the legal treatment of the wizard. What is imminent now is:

Which prince to choose to marry the princess? The king chose the prince of Diamond Hill, a very good and reliable young man with a considerable fortune. The prince proposed to the princess, but was politely declined.

The wizard stood at the foot of the steps of the throne, wearing shackles, walked forward with a clatter and said, "Tell Your Majesty, some things are behind your back, and I want to expose them. Can Your Majesty forgive me and not die?" The king was curious by nature, and he wanted to know everything, so he said, "Yes." "Does Your Majesty know?" Tykin said, "The princess will not marry the person you choose, because she has already taken a fancy to my apprentice in private." Regarding this matter, the princess originally planned to report to the father alone when he was in a good mood, but now the king is furious, and it is in public, so it is inconvenient for the princess to speak.

So the apprentice was dragged out. The princess explained in every way, and all he got from the king was: "Okay, you don't have to hang him! Let him be your best man at the wedding!" The king took his daughter's hand and arranged for her to sit in the middle of the hall, with the prince of Diamond Hill sitting on her right and the apprentice sitting on her left, and then said to the princess, "To the ambitious young man on your left, I will spare his life, as long as you promise not to speak to him again in the future, and promise to marry the gentleman on your right before tea this afternoon." The poor princess looked eagerly at her sweetheart, and the word "promise" immediately rushed to her lips.

She blurted out, "I promise never to speak to the gentleman on the left again, and I agree to marry the gentleman on the right before tea today." After speaking, she stretched out her hand and handed it to Prince Diamond Hill.

In the blink of an eye, the prince of Diamond Mountain suddenly changed to the left side of the princess, and the princess' hand was just held by her beloved prince, because, at this time, he was sitting on the right. However, on the surface, it seems that no one has moved. This is an authentic high-level magic!

"It's over!" cried the king, "it's over!" "It's too trivial!" The apprentice said modestly, "I not only have Taijin's heart, but also a copy of his magic secrets." "Well, I think disaster must be turned into blessing," the king said angrily, "Bless you, my children!" Everyone told the king that the apprentice was actually the prince of the Lucky Islands, and he was a better match for the princess than the prince of Diamond Hill.

After hearing such and such explanations, the king's anger subsided a little. The wet nurse suddenly knelt in front of the throne, begging the king to be kind and forgive the wizard... The main reason is that when he was breastfeeding, he was a very cute baby, wearing a very beautiful tartan top, with a pair of lovable chubby calves, etc. At this time, the king was completely at peace!

The king was sympathetic to these defenses, and said, "If he promises to learn well in the future, the widow will forgive him." "My dear, you promise to do it, okay?" The nurse cried.

"No," said the wizard, "it can't be done! What's more, it's impossible!" Now that the princess was happy, she wanted others to be equally happy, so she begged her sweetheart to cast a spell to turn Tykin into a good man.

"Oh, my dearest lady," said the prince, "no one can get better with magic. I do have a way to get rid of the evil in him... In this notebook, there is a very good secret... But if I cast a spell, there will be nothing left of his body immediately." "Just a little bit left!" The nurse was so anxious that she didn't care about anything, and blurted out.

Prince Futuneth (that is, James, and his apprentice) took the notebook and pondered it for a while, and then said a few words in words that no one present had heard.

He muttered, and the evil wizard trembled all over, getting smaller and smaller.

"Oh, my child!... Learn from the best! Just promise to learn from the future," cried the nurse tearfully. The wizard's body was shrinking, shrinking smaller and smaller, and the nurse stretched out her arms to hug him, but he still shrank and shrank endlessly. In the end, the wet nurse seemed to have only a bundle of clothes in her hand, and there was nothing next to it! She tore off the wizard's clothes, and shouted in pain and pride to pick up a little doll with a round head and a tiger brain. She was wearing a plaid top and had chubby calves, as she often raved about.

"I've said long ago that if the evil energy is removed, there will be nothing left of his body." Futunets said.

"I must learn well, ah, I really want to!" The little doll who was a wizard just now said.

"Leave this to me!" said the nurse.

So, our story ended in the snowflake-like white rose petals fluttering at the wedding full of sincere love!
