Queen： Hey， wheres my cappuccino（卡布奇諾）？

Maid： Here it is. Im so sorry， My Queen. Im late today.

Queen： It is unforgivable. Put it here. Guards， take her away. Spank her twenty times.

Guard 1 & 2： Yes， Your Majesty.

Maid： My Queen， forgive me. Help！ Help！

Queen： Is there anything you want to report to me？

Officer 1： Yes， there is. According to the weather broadcast， these days the air is very bad. Smoke from cars and factories makes the air even worse. It affects peoples health.

Officer 2： Your Majesty， many rivers are dirty. People throw rubbish in the rivers. There is not enough clean water to drink.

Officer 3： In some places， people dont have enough food. Theyre starving（饥饿的）.

Queen： Is the air in my palace clean？

All： Of course it is.

Queen： Is the water in my palace clean？

All： Of course， its very clean.

Queen： Is there enough food in my palace？

All： Yes.

Queen： Then its OK. Anything else？

Officer 4： Your Majesty， I have heard that there is an enemy troop（敌军） coming to our country.

Queen： Oh， really？ My general（将军）， do you train the soldiers every day？

General： Yes， I do.

Queen： Train harder！ Prepare for the war！

Soldier 1： Look， the enemy is coming！

Enemy 1 & 2： Lets break into the palace.

Queen： （wandering alone） Im hungry but there isnt anything to eat. Im thirsty but the water in the river is so dirty.

Girl： What a poor woman！ Do you regret， madam？ Here is the only apple my mother left to me. Here you are. Eat it， and you will be better.

Queen： Thank you so much.

（However， the girl fainted from hunger.）

Queen： Whats wrong with you？ Wake up！ Wake up！  Youre so kind. Lets start working. I want to make a better life for you. My people deserve（应得） it.

（The queen organized a team. After several years of unremitting efforts， everyone gained a lot.）

Man 1： Now， we have enough food to eat.

Man 2： Yes. We are not hungry anymore.

Man 3： There are so many fruit trees in our mountain.

Girl： I like eating apples. I can eat apples every day.

Man 4： The water in the river is so clean. We can drink as much as we like.

Queen： This is called “Hard work gets harvest”. I miss my old life in the palace.

Man 1： You lived in the palace before？

Queen： Yes， I did.

Man 2： Oh， I see. You are the queen， are you？

All： Your Majesty！

Queen： Im not the queen now. I made my people suffer a lot before.

Man 3： But now you have changed.

All： Yes， you have.

Man 4： We work together. We live together. You are nice to people now.

Queen： Do you really forgive me？

All： Yes， we do.

Queen： Thank you very much. The enemy has occupied （占领） the palace for a long time. Lets go and take it back.

All： I agree.

Queen： Thanks a lot. Now we have so many people. There is strength in numbers.

（The queen led the army， held the forces together， and won at last.）

All： We win！ We win！

Man 2： Be quiet， everyone. I want to say something. Now we have taken back our country， but we still need a leader. We still want this lady to be our queen.

All： We still want you to be our queen！

Queen： Im so happy today. I come back to my home again. These days Ive learnt a lot from you. Now I know it is the queens mission（使命） to make people live better. I will try my best to serve the people（為人民服务）.

All： Your Majesty！
