"My grandfather was at that time the King of the Winged Monkeys which lived in the forest near Gayelette's palace,
“我的祖父，在那個(gè)時(shí)候，是飛猴的王，住在森林里，在那甘林達(dá)的宮殿附近，
and the old fellow loved a joke better than a good dinner.
這個(gè)老家伙，喜歡搞惡作劇簡(jiǎn)直比頓午餐來(lái)得容易。
One day, just before the wedding, my grandfather was flying out with his band when he saw Quelala walking beside the river.
有一天，恰好在婚禮以前，我的祖父，帶著它的隨員飛了出去，它們看到奎拉拉在江邊散步。
He was dressed in a rich costume of pink silk and purple velvet, and my grandfather thought he would see what he could do.
他穿著一件淡紅色的綢和紫色天鵝絨做的衣服，我的祖父想要看看他究竟懂什么魔術(shù)。
At his word the band flew down and seized Quelala,
便命令隨員們飛下去，捉住了奎拉拉，
carried him in their arms until they were over the middle of the river, and then dropped him into the water."
挾在它們的臂彎里，直飛到江水的上空，再把他拋了下去。”
"Swim out, my fine fellow," cried my grandfather, "and see if the water has spotted your clothes."
“我的可愛(ài)的朋友，游出來(lái)吧，”我的祖父嘻笑著，“看，水把你的衣服沾污了。”
Quelala was much too wise not to swim, and he was not in the least spoiled by all his good fortune.
奎拉拉很聰明，卻不善于游泳，不過(guò)他的運(yùn)氣好，沒(méi)有受到一點(diǎn)兒損傷。
He laughed, when he came to the top of the water, and swam in to shore.
當(dāng)他冒出水面，向岸邊游去時(shí)，他大笑著。
But when Gayelette came running out to him she found his silks and velvet all ruined by the river.
就在這時(shí)，甘林達(dá)跑了出來(lái)，看到這一，她看見他的綢和天鵝絨的衣服，完全給江水弄臟了。
