The little crannogman was walking across the field, enjoying the warm spring day and harming none, when he was set upon by three squires.
小個(gè)子澤地人在場(chǎng)地中穿行，享受著溫暖的春光，沒(méi)傷害任何人，不料卻來(lái)了三個(gè)侍從，
They were none older than fifteen, yet even so they were bigger than him, all three.
都不超過(guò)十五歲，但都比他高大。
This was their world, as they saw it, and he had no right to be there.
他們?nèi)齻€(gè)認(rèn)為，這是他們的世界，而他無(wú)權(quán)呆在這里，

There he met her pack brothers: the wild wolf who led them, the quiet wolf beside him, and the pup who was youngest of the four.
在那里，他遇到了她族群中的兄弟們：狂野的頭狼，沉默的二狼，以及最年輕的幼狼。”

母狼堅(jiān)持要那男孩出席，她說(shuō)他是貴族出生，有權(quán)跟其他人一樣在長(zhǎng)凳上占有一席之地。
She was not easy to refuse, this wolf maid, so he let the young pup find him garb suitable to a king's feast, and went up to the great castle.
要拒絕這頭母狼并不容易，因此他穿上幼狼給找的衣服，走進(jìn)了那巨大的城堡。”

The dragon prince sang a song so sad it made the wolf maid sniffle, but when her pup brother teased her for crying she poured wine over his head.
