Master? Would you evaluate this one?

Well, here is my translation, Cacue:
---
The large tree may perhaps not always be together with the prince, as the prince will one day finally find his princess. However, at all times will the large tree surely allow the prince to depend on it, and surely at all times does it wish to protect him from the wind and the rain, And also one day, the tree would probably want to grow legs of its own and become able to go seeking for His Majesty the prince. So may His Majesty the prince be 100% happy.

I think you forgot to translate the part about "allowing the prince to rely on him"?
---
Is this a story, or is the "speaker"/writer actually talking to the prince throughout the text?
This is kind of a strange text for me: it doesn't "hang together." Is it strange for you too, as a Chinese native speaker?

Well,thank you ...

Yeah,it is {"speaker"/writer actually talking to the prince throughout the text}

Is it strange?I don't think so.

Hi Imhotep,
If you are speaking to the prince throughout the whole text, the translation will be very different:
---
I, because I am a large tree, may perhaps not always be together with you, my prince, as you will one day finally find your princess. However, at all times will I surely allow you to depend on me, and surely at all times do I wish to protect you from the wind and the rain, And also one day, I would probably want to grow legs of my own and be able to go seeking for Your Majesty. So may Your Majesty be 100% happy.

I'm sorry, I think I still didn't understand it completely...Probably my Chinese isn't good enough yet to understand its poetic quality...

Thank u~but in that way ,it would be too ..how to say ..direct and I don't speak in that way..thanks~

I don't know how to explain it, but I think your Chinese is good

By the way, why can't I add the smile icon in my text?

Well, it is somewhat strange... My understanding is that the speaker is talking directly to "the prince" BUT puts her own feelings IN DISGUISE of a story between the tree and the prince. So everything until the last sentence is the story, and the last sentence is what the speaker wants to tell the prince in her own right.

I see...
Anyway, you've now added that "rely on" part, so I guess I can validate it!
I trust your ability to understand the Chinese text!

Imhotep, to which text could you not add a smile icon?

Hi, lanMegill, now I know how to add a smile icon. It seems that this website will convert text expressions into icons automatically?
r(^^haha it's funny. Thanks~

Thank you too, cacue

Yay!

All's well that ends well...

LOL~
