　　A priest who also taught art in a local primary school made a trip to a primitive forest.He liked the primitives and decided to settle down there, and sent the principal a letter to inform her.She was a person with principle and always regarded work as the first priority.She couldn't bear to see him waste his prime like that, and wrote back trying to talk him into changing his mind.However, he replied by saying that he had already stated in his previous letter that, primarily because he liked the free life in the forest, he wanted to stay there.The headmistress thought it was one of her principal duties to have her art teacher stay with the school, so she made up her mind to look for him in the forest.Prior to her departure she bought plenty of food, hoping it could remind him of the benefits of living in the city.She then primed herself for this adventure and left.Once she was there she learnt that he had married the princess of the forest kingdom, whose prior husband had been killed in a battle, and was called the “hairy prince”.Before she returned home, she was treated to prime roasted hippopotamus steak.

　　一位在当地小学兼职教美术的牧师到原始森林作了一次旅行。他喜欢那里的原始人，所以决定在那儿定居，于是他给校长写了封信。校长是个有原则的人，总是把工作看成是优先考虑的事。她不忍心看着他这样浪费青春年华，便回信劝他改变主意。可是，他却回信说他已在前一封信中指出，他想留在那儿主要是因为他喜欢森林里自由自在的生活。校长认为让她的美术老师留在学校是她的主要职责之一，所以她决定去森林里找他。在出发之前，她买了大量的食品，希望这能使他想起城市生活的种种好处，然后她为这次探险做好了准备工作并踏上了征程。她一到那儿就得知他与森林王国的公主结了婚，公主先前的丈夫死于一次战斗，而且牧师还被称为“长毛亲王”。在她返回学校之前，她被招待吃了顿的大块烤河马肉块。
