There was1 once a boy in a village. When ever2 he asked people to do things, no one would3 listen to him. He was sad. So he asked a wizard4 to solve5 the problem6 by using magic7. The old wizard tried a lot of spells, but didn't work.

　　A young man heard about the problem. He went to the boy and said8 that he knew the solution9. He gave10 the boy two small pieces of paper.

　　"These are two spells, my boy. Use the first before you ask others11 to do something, and use the second when they have done it. A smile is also necessary12, "the young man said.

　　The boy was happy and tried to use the spells. When he asked people to do something, he said "Please" before his words, and "Thank you" after they had13 done it. People were very surprised14 that the boy could15 be polite16. Soon, they became17 happy to do what the boy asked them to do.

　　The wizard was surprised, and asked the young man about the spells.

　　"It's not magic. When I was a child, my teacher told me that with good manners18 you could get anything you want. And he was right. The boy only needed good manners to get what he wanted."

　　從前村莊有一個(gè)男孩，當(dāng)他請人幫他做事情的時(shí)候，沒有人會(huì)聽他的，他很傷心，所以他請巫師用魔法解決問題。老巫師嘗試了很多的辦法，但都沒有成功。

　　一個(gè)年輕人聽說了這件事情。他就去了那個(gè)小男孩那里并且告訴他應(yīng)該怎樣解決這個(gè)問題。他給了這個(gè)男孩兩個(gè)小紙條。

　　“這是兩個(gè)咒語，我的孩子。第一個(gè)呢在請別人做事前使用，第二個(gè)呢，在他們做完了后使用。還有微笑是必不可少的”年輕人說。

　　男孩很非常開心的用了這兩個(gè)咒語。當(dāng)他想人們做什么事情之前，他先說“請”，當(dāng)人們做完的時(shí)候他說：“謝謝你”，人們都很驚奇這個(gè)男孩變得如此有禮貌。不久，他們都很樂意為這個(gè)男孩子做事。

　　這個(gè)巫師感到很驚訝，問這個(gè)年輕人關(guān)于咒語的事情。

　　“這不是咒語。當(dāng)我還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候，我的老師告訴我，良好的舉止你可以得到任何你想要的，老師是正確的，這個(gè)男孩只有以禮待人才能得到同等的回報(bào)。”
