"If you stayed here a bit longer ,you might start liking the seaside ,"said Daisy
But Princess Pip wasn't listeningShe was putting all her important things in her suitcase
"I think we'll have to take some things out ,"said Daisy
Daisy found them both backpacks ,and the set out for home
Princess Pip and Daisy went across the drawbridge and along the road
It was very hot
"Let's have a nice ,cool snack,"said Daisy
So they got some fish sticks from a stall
"These aren't bad ,"admitted Princess Pip
"They taste best by seaside ,"said Daisy"I'll show you where the fish come from ,if you like"
They went down some stone steps to a place where the sea awished backwards and forwards and the ground looked as if it was made of gold
"Look in these pools ,"said Daisy
The fish were hard to catch
"You could take your stockings off ,"said Daisy,"and use them for nets"
It was nice without shoes and stockings on It was even nicer once Princess Pip had taken off her coat and crown
The fish looked very cross at being caught , so Princess Pip let them go
"It's not too bad here,"said Princess Pip ,at last"I want to stay here all the time "
"Let's build a sandcastle ,then," said Daisy
"A sand HOUSE ,"said Princess Pip
It was hard work,but they build a huge house,with a moat all around
Soon the sea came in and filled the moat
"That's just right ,"said Princess Pip"Make it stop coming in now ,Daisy"
But the sea kept on coming in…
…and soon it had washed their house FLAT
"We build our house too close to the sea ," said Daisy ,sadly
"STUPID SEA !" shouted Princess Pip "STUPID SEASIDE ! I WANT TO GO HOME!"

作者简介：
Yiyun Li grew up in Beijing, China, and moved to the United States after she got BS from Peking University in 1996 She received an MFA in creative nonfiction from the Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa and an MFA in fiction from the Iowa Writers' Workshop Her stories and essays have been published in The New Yorker,[2] The Paris Review, and Zoetrope: All-Story Two of the stories from A Thousand Years of Good Prayers were adapted into films: The Princess of Nebraska and the title story, which Li adapted herself
She lives in Oakland, California, with her husband and their two sons, and teaches at University of California, Davis
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's(解说者的)part for the play, and asked me to change roles Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard It was a lovely spring day We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden"
"But I like dandelions," I protested "All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!"
My mother looked at me seriously "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it" she asked thoughtfully I nodded "And that is true of people, too," she added
When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth
“But you will be a beautiful narrator, ”she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her
Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role The big day finally came A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed
