But all that remains is his sword, and there’s no one able to use it. ” However，the sword was not all that remained of valiant Watanabi，there was also his son，a young boy. On hearing what the citizens were saying，he wondered，“My father has gone. He died fighting，but we still have his sword. I shall take it and face the witch. Win or die，I shall be a credit to my father’s memory. ” So the boy bravely armed himself and went off to the tower. The witch saw him arrive and she grinned, but did not make a move. She wouldn’t even bother using her fiery sword on that sniveling youngster； she would wither him with a glance. So she paid little heed to Watanabi，s son as he quietly crept into the tower» climbed the stairs without making the slightest sound and entered the witch’s room. When，however， the witch heard the door close, she turned round and laid her wild burning gaze on the boy but the splendor of Watanabi，s sword blinded her. “This is Watanabi s sword!” shouted the young boy, and before the witch could defend herself，he struck a blow and ended her life. In his father’s memory and in honor of his sword, the boy had freed the city of Kyoto. 中英文例句 1. The witch turned the prince into a frog. 女巫把王子变成了青蛙。 2.
