Before long we shall be water sprites again. I see the sun is coming this way.

我们不久就会重新变成水精灵。我看到太阳朝这边来了。

No, no, replied a chorus of many small voices from the drop of water, we are only water sprites again.

“没有，没有，”水滴中很多小的声音齐声回答，我们又变成水精灵了。

We are water sprites, answered one, in the clearest voice that can be imagined, and when this delightful warmth comes all about us, we become so light that we fly off, as you see.

“我们是水精灵，”一个身形回答，声音很清楚，当讨人喜欢的温暖包围我们的时候，我们就轻得能够飞走了，你能看到的。
