You'd probably only write to the Queen if you had a very specific favour to ask.

如果你有一个非常特别的请求，你也许只能写信给女王了。

At least, that was one young girl's motivation for penning a letter to the current monarch .

至少，这是一个小女孩给现任女王写信的原因。

Five-year-old Lyndsay Simpson badly wants a pet swan - and who can blame her? Lyndsay had even gone as far as to decide where she'd keep them (the bath).

5岁的林赛·辛普森非常想要一只宠物天鹅，可谁能责怪她呢？林赛甚至都想好要在哪儿养它们了（浴缸里）。

When it came to making her dream a reality, the youngster knew there was just one woman in the UK who can help with this request. After all, the Queen owns every swan in Britain , right?

那如何才能让她的梦想成真，这个小女孩知道，在英国只有一个人能帮她这个忙。毕竟，女王拥有英国的每一只天鹅，对吧？

Well, not quite.

嗯，也不完全是这样。

Not only did Lyndsay get a reply, but it also debunked a common misconception about the Queen (and swans).

不过，林赛不仅收到了答复，而且信中解释了人们对于有关女王拥有天鹅的误解。

According to The Times, Jennie Vine, a deputy correspondence coordinator at the Palace, stated that the Queen had taken 'careful note' of Lyndsay's request - but had some bad news for her.
