一yí位wèi壮zhuàng族zú妈妈mā ma用yòng了le三sān年nián,织zhī出chū一yì幅fú最zuì美měi的de壮zhuàng锦jǐn:青qīng山shān绿lǜ水shuǐ,太阳tài yang花草huā cǎo,像xiàng真的zhēn de一样yí yàng。

A Zhuang mother spent three years weaving the finest brocade - green hills, clear water, sun and flowers, real as life.

一阵yí zhèn大dà风fēng把bǎ壮zhuàng锦jǐn吹chuī跑pǎo了le。妈妈mā ma哭kū瞎xiā了le眼yǎn,叫jiào三sān个儿gè r子zǐ去qù找zhǎo。大dà儿子ér zi、二èr儿子ér zi怕pà苦kǔ,半路bàn lù回huí了le家jiā。

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zhǐ yǒu小xiǎo儿子ér zi不bú怕pà远yuǎn、不bú怕pà险xiǎn,翻fān过guò火山huǒ shān,蹚tāng过guò冰bīng海hǎi,终于zhōng yú从cóng仙女xiān nǚ手里shǒu lǐ把bǎ壮zhuàng锦jǐn要yào了le回来huí lai。

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zhuàng锦jǐn铺pū开kāi,变成biàn chéng真的zhēn de山shān水shuǐ田tián园yuán,妈妈mā ma的de眼睛yǎn jing也yě一下子yí xià zi亮liàng了le。孝顺xiào shùn和hé勇敢yǒng gǎn,能néng把bǎ幸福xìng fú找zhǎo回来huí lai。

Spread out, the brocade became real hills and fields, and his mother's eyes opened at once. Love and courage can bring happiness back.
