The Greatest Bridegroom
Long, long ago, a mole couple\'s daughter, Mollie, was ready to marry.
In the mole village, Molar was the best available bridegroom.
However, Father Mole and Mother Mole were not satisfied with him.
\"Isn\'t there a better bridegroom?\" asked Mollie\'s mother.
\"Our Mollie must marry the greatest bridegroom,\" exclaimed her father.
Father Mole and Mother Mole discued the matter.
\"Who do you think is the greatest of all?\" Father wondered aloud.
\"I think the sun in the greatest,\" Mother answered.
Father Mole went to the sun.
\"Gosh! It\'s so hot! Sun, are you the greatest of all?\" he asked.
\"No, I\'m not.When the cloud comes and covers me, I can\'t even show my face.
The cloud is the greatest,\" the sun replied.
\"Oh, I see.Thank you.\"
Father Mole went to see the cloud.
\"Oh,my! It\'s so dark! Cloud,are you the greatest of all?\" he asked.
\"No,I\'m not.When the wind comes,I\'m blown away in seconds.
The wind is the greatest,\"replied the cloud.
\"Oh, I see.Thank you.\"
Father Mole went to see the wind.
\"Oh, my! I\'m about to be blown away! Wind, you are the greatest of all, right?\"
he asked hopefully.
\"No, I\'m not.There is someone who doesn\'t blow away even when I blow my hardest,\" said the wind.
\"Is that true?\"
\"Mr.Mole! If you are looking for the greatest, go to the Buddha statue,\" advised the wind.Though Father Mole was tired, he went to see the Buddha statue.
\"Finally, I\'ve found it.Buddha statue, you are the greatest in the world, right?\"
Father Mole asked,certain that he was right.
\"No, I\'m not.If a mole dug a hole under my feet, I could not stand for even a minute,\" the Buddha statue answered.
\"Do you think the mole is the best bridegroom in the world?\" asked Father Mole.
\"Definitely! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!\"
The Buddha statue answered with laughter.
Father Mole then went back to the mole village.But he felt happy.
\"Honey! I\'ve found someone who is the greatest,\"he declared to his wife.
\"Oh, really!\"
Father Mole explained.\"The sun said, \'The cloud is the greatest.\'
The cloud said, \'The wind is the greatest.\'
The wind said, \'The Buddha statue is the greatest.\'
And then, I found out who is the greatest of all.\"
\"Who is that?\" Mother Mole asked.\"It is one of us, the moles!\"
Father explained.\"Well, then, we must choose the best bridegroom from among the greatest moles,\" Mother replied.
As a result, Father Mole and Mother Mole met with Moler.
Soon, Mollie and Moler were married.
Couldn\'t the greatest in the world be right next to you?
最伟大的新郎
很久很久以前，有一对鼹鼠夫妇的女儿茉莉准备结婚了。
在鼹鼠村，莫勒是最好的新郎。
但是，鼹鼠爸爸和母亲妈妈还是不满意他。
“是否有一个更好的新郎呢？”莫利的母亲问。
“我们莫勒的男人必须跟最大的新郎结婚，”她的父亲大声说到。
鼹鼠爸爸和鼹鼠妈妈讨论着这件事。
“你认为谁是最伟大的吗？”鼹鼠爸爸大声问。
“我认为太阳是最大的，”鼹鼠妈妈回答。
父亲鼹鼠找到太阳。
“天哪！好热！太阳，你是最伟大的吗？”他问。
“不，我不是。当云一来遮住我，我就不能露出我的脸了。
云是最大的，”太阳答道。
“噢，我明白了。谢谢你。”
父亲鼹鼠其见云。
“噢，好暗！云，你是最伟大的吗？”他问。
“不，我不是。风来的时候，我几秒钟就被吹走了。
风是最大的，”云回答说。
“噢，我明白了。谢谢你。”
父亲鼹鼠去见风。
“噢，天哪！我快被吹走！风，你是最伟大的，对不对？”
他满怀希望地问。
“不，我不是。有些东西无论我怎么吹都吹不走，”风说。
“那是真的吗？”
“鼹鼠先生！如果你正在寻找最伟大的东西，去找佛像吧，”风建议。
虽然鼹鼠爸爸很难累了，还是继续去见佛像。
“最后忠于找到你了。佛像，你是世界上最伟大的，对不对？”
鼹鼠爸爸很确定的问。
“不，我不是，如果鼹鼠在我的脚下挖了一个洞，我再也无法站着，哪怕是一分钟，”佛像的回答。
“你认为鼹鼠是世界上最好的新郎吗？”鼹鼠爸爸问。
“当然！哈！哈！哈！哈！哈！”
大佛笑着回答。
然后鼹鼠爸爸回到了鼹鼠村。但他感到很高兴。
“亲爱的！我发现谁是最伟大的人了”，他对他的妻子宣布。
“哦，真的！”
鼹鼠爸爸解释。 “太阳说，„云是最伟大的。‟
云说，„风是最大的。‟
风说，„佛像是最大的。‟
然后，我发现了谁是最伟大的。”
“那是谁？”鼹鼠妈妈问。 “就是我们，鼹鼠！”
父亲解释说。 “嗯，那么，我们必须选择鼹鼠中最伟大的做新郎，”鼹鼠妈妈回答。 后来，鼹鼠爸爸和鼹鼠妈妈会见了莫勒。
不久，莫勒和莫勒了结婚。
世界上最伟大的人不就在你身边吗？
