我许愿井

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a magical well. The villagers believed that if you threw a coin into the well and made a wish, it would come true.

从前，在一个小村庄里，有一口神奇的井。村民们相信，如果你把一枚硬币扔进井里，许个愿，愿望就会实现。

One day, a young boy named Sam found a shiny coin on his way home from school. Excitedly, he ran to the wishing well. He closed his eyes and whispered, "I wish for a bicycle to ride to school."

一天，一个叫萨姆的小男孩在放学回家的路上发现了一枚闪闪发光的硬币。他兴奋地跑向许愿井。一天，他闭上眼睛，低声说：“我希望有一辆自行车可以骑着去上学。”

As he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see nothing had happened, he went home feeling disappointed. However, when he reached his doorstep, Sam saw a box wrapped in bright colors. He opened it and found a beautiful, new bicycle just like he had wished for! His parents had surprised him.

当他睁开眼睛时，他惊讶地发现什么也没有发生，他失望地回家了。然而，当他走到家门口时，山姆看到了一个用鲜艳的颜色包裹着的盒子。他打开它，发现了一辆漂亮的新自行车，就像他所希望的那样！他的父母给了他一个惊喜。

The bicycle wasn't from the magical wishing well, but from his parents who had been saving money for months. They wanted to see their son happy. Although Sam loved his new bicycle, he loved his parents more for their love and sacrifice.

那辆自行车不是来自那个神奇的许愿井，而是他父母几个月来攒的钱。他们想看到他们的儿子快乐。虽然萨姆很喜欢他的新自行车，但他更爱他的父母，因为他们的爱和牺牲。

From that day, Sam learned a lesson, that although magic can bring momentary happiness, true joy comes from our dear ones. And the well? It remained a symbol of hope and magic in the village.

从那天起，山姆学到了一个教训，虽然魔法可以带来短暂的快乐，但真正的快乐来自于我们亲爱的人。那井呢？在村子里，它一直是希望和魔法的象征。
