一位壮族妈妈用了三年,织出一幅最美的壮锦:青山绿水,太阳花草,像真的一样。
A Zhuang mother spent three years weaving the finest brocade - green hills, clear water, sun and flowers, real as life.
一阵大风把壮锦吹跑了。妈妈哭瞎了眼,叫三个儿子去找。大儿子、二儿子怕苦,半路回了家。
A great wind carried it away. The mother cried herself blind and sent her three sons after it; the two elders found the road too hard and turned home.
只有小儿子不怕远、不怕险,翻过火山,蹚过冰海,终于从仙女手里把壮锦要了回来。
Only the youngest feared neither distance nor danger: he crossed mountains of fire, waded seas of ice, and won the brocade back from the fairy maidens.
壮锦铺开,变成真的山水田园,妈妈的眼睛也一下子亮了。孝顺和勇敢,能把幸福找回来。
Spread out, the brocade became real hills and fields, and his mother's eyes opened at once. Love and courage can bring happiness back.
