Once upon a time, there was a king whose wife had blonde hair, and her beauty was unparalleled in the world. But unfortunately,
She is ill and will die soon. She called the king to her side and said, "If you want to get married after my death, promise me."
I must marry a woman who is as beautiful as me and has the same blonde hair. The king agreed and the queen closed her eyes and died.
The king was sad for a long time and had no intention of marrying again. At last his ministers said, "King, it can't go on like this."
We must marry another one so that we can have a queen. "So he sent messengers in all directions, looking for a beauty like the late queen.
Li's girl. But I have searched all over the country, but I can't find it. Occasionally, I find that a beautiful blonde doesn't have the blonde hair like the queen.

The king has a daughter who looks exactly like her mother and has blonde hair. She grew up day by day. King, look
Looking at her, I think she looks like her late wife everywhere, so I have a strong love for her. He said to the ministers, "I want to marry me."
Daughter, she is the reappearance of my ex-wife. I can't find anyone more like her. "The priests said in utter amazement," God
It is forbidden for fathers to marry their daughters. No good result will come from committing such a crime, and the whole country will suffer. "
The princess was even more shocked when she learned her father's plan, but she hoped to make him change his mind. So she said to her father, "Yes.
Before I agree to your request, I must get three clothes: one is as golden as the sun and the other is as silver as the moon.
Light is everywhere, and everything is as bright and shining as stars. Besides, I want a cloak, which must be made of thousands of different animals.
Made of fur. Every animal in your country must offer a piece of fur. The princess thought, "all this is impossible.
It can be done. This will make my father change his mind. However, the king did not give up. He told the most skilled girl to knit three.
A dress ... one is as bright as the sun, one is as silver as the moon, and the other is as bright as the stars; He also ordered the best.
Hunters catch every kind of animal, then take its fur and sew a cloak with thousands of skins. When everything was ready, the king sent someone to see the princess.

"We will have a wedding tomorrow."

Put it in a small box, blacken your hands, feet and face with soot, put on a cloak with a thousand layers of skin and set off. She resigned herself to fate.
After a whole night, I came to a big forest. She was so tired that she climbed into a tree hole and fell asleep.
The sun came out and the princess didn't wake up; At noon, she was still asleep. This forest belongs to a king who happened to be there that day.
When they came out to hunt, the hounds ran into the tree hole and sniffed, then barked around the tree. The king said to the hunter who followed:
"Go and see what wild animals are hidden there." After the hunter went, he came back and said, "There is a strange animal sleeping in a tree hole.
The skin on the body is made up of thousands of animal skins. We have never seen such an animal before. "The king said," give it a try.
If you can take him alive. If you can, tie it up and take me back to the palace. "The hunter caught the princess, and the girl shouted in horror:
"I am a poor child abandoned by my parents. Have pity on me and take me away. " The hunter said, "I'm looking at you, Thousand Skin Beast."
Help sweep the dust in the kitchen. Come with me. "They put the princess in the carriage, took her back to the palace and pointed to the floor.

Make a fire, carry water, sweep the ashes, pluck chicken and duck feathers, pick vegetables, dig out the stove, all kinds of dirty and tired work. That's a thousand skins beast.
I spent a long and miserable life in the park. Ah, beautiful princess, what have you become now!
One day, however, there was a banquet in the palace. The princess said to the chef, "Can I go upstairs and have a look?" Just look outside the door. "
"Go ahead." The cook said, "But you must come back in half an hour and dig out the ashes." The princess picked up the oil lamp and went back to her bucket.
In the room, she took off her wool cloak and washed her face, hands and feet, and her beauty immediately sparkled. She opened the small box and took it out.
Put on that golden dress and walk into the banquet hall. People made way for her one after another. Although no one knew her, everyone thought.
She has the demeanor of a princess. The king came over and held out his hand to invite her to dance, thinking, "I have never seen such a beautiful person."
So what! "At the end of the song, the princess bowed down to the king. When the king looked up again, the princess had disappeared. he
Asked the guard who was called to stand at the palace gate, but everyone said they had never seen it. The princess ran back to the room, quickly took off her clothes and put her face and.
Paint black soot on your hands and feet again, and put on a fur cloak to sweep the dust in the kitchen. The cook said, "Tomorrow morning we will clean up the ashes and give them to the king first."

When the teacher left, Qianpi beast made a bowl of bread soup for the king, which was her best bowl, and then put the gold ring she brought on her body.
Put it in the soup
After the king finished dancing, he asked someone to bring the soup. He likes that soup very much. It seems that he has never tasted such delicious food.
Soup. After drinking, he found the gold ring. He couldn't believe it. He ordered someone to call the chef, when the chef heard the king's call.
Seeing this, he was very scared, so he said to the beast, "You must have dropped your hair in the soup. In that case, I'll give you a good beating.
Yes He came to the king, who asked him who made the soup. The chef said, "I made it." The king said, "No,
The soup tastes much better than before, and it is cooked differently. The chef replied, "I admit that I didn't make this soup, but that's."
A hairy guy succeeded. "The king said," call him. A thousand skins came to the king, and the king asked, "Who are you?" "
"I am a poor girl without parents." The king asked again, "What's the use of you in my palace?" She replied, "mine.
The function is to be kicked. The king then asked, "Where did you get the gold ring in the soup?" "I don't know what a gold ring is.
The king couldn't ask anything at first sight, so he had to let her go.
Soon, the king held another dance. Thousands of skins begged the chef to let her go upstairs to watch the excitement as before. The cook said, "Go ahead.
All right. But you must come back in half an hour to make the soup that the king likes. "She promised to run back to the room, quickly wash the smoke black, put on clothes.
Put on your dress like moonlight and walk into the ballroom like a princess. The king came forward and was glad to see her again.
At the beginning of the dance, they danced together, but at the end of the music, she disappeared quickly, so fast that she didn't even see the king clearly.
Where did she go? The princess jumped into her room while running, turned herself into a furry animal and ran back to the kitchen to prepare.
The king's soup is gone. When the cook went upstairs to watch the excitement, she quietly put the golden spinning wheel into the soup bowl. The servant served the soup to the countryman.
Wang still likes drinking as he did last time. He called the chef and admitted that the soup was made by a thousand skins beast. The king called her again, but
Her answer was the same as last time. She said that she knew nothing about the golden spinning wheel.
When the king held another dance, everything was the same as before. The cook asked, "Mao, you must be a witch."
Grandma. You always put something in the soup, which makes the king love your soup more than my soup. "But because of her efforts.
At the request, the chef promised to let her go upstairs to see it, but she must return within the specified time. This time, the princess put on a starlight flash.
Shuoyi came to the hall. The king came forward to dance with her again, thinking that she was more beautiful like this. When she wasn't looking,
Hou put the ring on her finger. The king ordered the dance music to be extended, so the song ended and the prescribed time passed.
Yes The king tried to grab the princess's hand, but she broke free and quickly disappeared into the crowd. She didn't have time to take off her gorgeous clothes.
Just put on a cloak of animal hair. In a hurry, she didn't pay attention to painting all the parts carefully, and even missed painting with one finger. she
Hurry back to the kitchen to make soup for the king, and put the gold spool in the soup while the chef is away. When the king found the golden spool in the bowl
At that time, I immediately called a thousand-skinned beast, found the white finger that was not blackened, and saw the condom I gave her when I was dancing.

Goose shepherd by the well
-
Once upon a time, there was an old woman and a flock of geese living in the wilderness among the mountains. This wilderness is surrounded by a big forest.
Lin. Every morning, the old woman walks into the forest trembling with crutches. She is very busy there. Don't.
I can't believe that she can do so many things at her age: she has to mow her own geese, pick wild fruits by herself, and.
Take all these things home. Others must have thought that such a heavy thing would crush her, but she did it.
I can always recite them all. If she meets someone, she will greet him kindly: "Hello,
Dear fellow townsman, the weather is really good today. Yes, you will be surprised to see me dragging so much grass, but everyone
He must bear the burden himself. "However, people would rather make a detour than meet her. If father takes him,
When her son passes by, he will quietly say to his son, "Be careful of this old woman, she is a very cunning woman."
Witch. "
One morning, a handsome boy was walking in the forest. In the early morning forest, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the cool wind is blowing gently.
Gently brushing the leaves, the teenager is in a good mood at this time. At that moment, he suddenly saw the old woman kneeling on the ground.
Cut the grass with a sickle. She cut a big bundle of grass, with two baskets full of wild pears and apples beside her.
"Hi, old lady," said the boy, "how can you carry so many things by yourself?" "I can't, if I don't move, dear.
Sir, "she replied," a young master of a rich family doesn't have to do this. But there is a good saying:' Don't look around.
Look, your back is like a bow. "
"Will you help me?" Seeing the teenager still standing, the old woman asked, "Your back is quite straight and your legs are quite straight."
The feet are still relatively neat, so it is not difficult to do so. Besides, my home is not too far from here, just behind this mountain on the wasteland, soon.
Can walk. At this time, the boy was full of sympathy for the old woman and said, "Although my father is not a farmer, he is a rich man."
Yes, but in order to make you understand that farmers are not the only ones who can do heavy work, I am willing to help you carry these things back.
Let's go ""If so, I'm so happy, "she said." You have to walk for an hour, but it's no problem for you.
What is this? By the way, you should also move pears and apples over there. "When the young count heard that he had to walk for an hour, he became
Some hesitation. But the old woman didn't let him go, but immediately tied the straw on her back and put two baskets on her back.
On his wrist. "Look, isn't it easy?" She said. "No, it's not easy." The little count looks sad.
Said: "These bags are heavy on the back, as if they were full of big stones." Apples and pears are as heavy as lead.
Well, I'm falling apart. "He wanted to put everything down, but the old woman wouldn't let him.
"Look," she said sarcastically, "you young gentleman can't even move what my old lady often moves. you said
It's great to say nice things, but you want to run when you really want to get started. Why are you still standing there? "She followed.
Continued, "Let's go, quick leg lifts! No one will carry it for you. " As long as the road is flat, young people can still persist, but
When they came to the front of the mountain, they had to climb up, and the stones under their feet rolled down one by one, as if there was life. He would
Can't stand it. I saw that he was not only sweating on his forehead, but also sweating like a pig, which made him feel for a while.
Sometimes it's cold and sometimes it's hot. "Old woman," he said, "I can't do it. I want to have a rest. " "no!" The old woman replied.
He said, "Only when we arrive can you have a rest. Now you must move on. Who knows what you're up to? "
"Old woman, you are so unreasonable!" The little count said that he wanted to put the straw bundle down on his back, but he was in vain because of the bag.
Fu hung tightly on his back, as if his back had grown on him. He was so anxious that he turned around and around, but there was still nothing he could do.
Seeing this, the old woman smiled happily and jumped around on crutches. "Don't be angry, dear.
Dear sir, "she said," you are as red as a turkey. Be patient and take your luggage. I'll give you more when I get home.
Free gift. "The little count had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and walk slowly behind the old woman. Hello, old lady.
Xiang is becoming more and more energetic, but his load is getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, she jumped up, jumped on the bale, and sat down.
Let's go Although she is skinny, she is heavier than the fattest country girl. The young man's knees are shaking, but if he doesn't go,
Go forward, and the old woman will beat his leg with branches and hemp stalks. Panting, he climbed the mountain and finally reached the old lady.
Grandma's house, when he was so tired that he almost fell down. When the geese saw the old woman, they put up their wings and craned their necks.
The child giggled towards her. A woman came up from behind the goose with a branch in her hand. It's her again
Tall and strong, ugly as a hag. "Mom," she said to the old woman, "what's the matter? Why did you come back?" "Nothing.
"Yao, my daughter," the old woman replied, "nothing has happened to me. On the contrary, this kind gentleman helped me.
Things are back. He even picked me up when I was tired from walking. This road is not far for us at all.
We had a good time all the way and kept joking around. "Finally, the old woman came over and took the grass away from the young man's back.
He tied it and took the basket off his wrist. He looked at him very kindly and said, "Now you are sitting on the bench at the door."
Have a good rest. I won't miss your share of the reward. "Then she said to Goose Girl," I
Dear daughter, go inside. You are not fit to stay alone with a young gentleman. Otherwise, we should not add fuel to the fire.
He will love you. "The count was in distress situation and thought," Such a clown will fight even if he is thirty years younger.
Can't move my heart. "At this moment, I saw the old woman stroking her flock of geese like her own children, and then the same
Daughters went into the house together. So the boy lay on the bench under the wild apple tree. The air on the mountain is fresh and suitable.
People are surrounded by a large green grassland, which is full of primrose flowers, wild musk and all kinds of flowers; A clear
Streams flow through the grass, and the water surface is sparkling and row upon row; Some of those white geese walk in the water, others play in the water.
Play. "It's so beautiful here!" The boy said, "but I'm too tired to lift my eyelids." I have to sleep for a while first. "
All right. But don't let the wind blow, because the wind will definitely blow away my legs as soft as tinder. "
Not long after falling asleep, the old woman came to wake him up and said, "get up, you can't stay here." be
Yes, I exhausted you, but aren't you still alive? I'll give you what you deserve. Money and wealth
You don't need it. I want to give you something else. "She said, and put a whole piece of emerald finely crafted.
The small box is in his hand. Then he went on to say, "Take good care of it, it will bring you happiness." Hearing this, count
He jumped for joy when he was free. At this time, others were awake and refreshed, so he thanked the old woman.
He walked down the hill and never looked back. Behind him came the cheerful cry of geese.
The little count wandered in the wilderness for three days before he found his way out. At this time, he came to a strange place, because there were no locals.
Someone knew him, so people took him to the palace. When I came to the palace, I saw the king and his queen sitting on the high treasure.
Seats. So he knelt down, took the little emerald box out of his pocket and presented it to the queen. I see the queen hasn't
When he opened the small box, he fainted to the ground, so the king's guards arrested the boy and sent him to the cell. The king at this time
Then she opened her eyes and ordered the guards to let him go. Then she told everyone to stand down, because she wanted to talk to the little count alone.
After everyone retired, I saw the queen crying sadly: "Although I have endless wealth, what's the difference?"
What's the use? My life is full of sadness and pain. I have three daughters, and the youngest is the most beautiful.
Li, everyone says she is as beautiful as a fairy: her skin is as white as snow, her face is as beautiful as flowers, and her head is full.
Blonde hair is as bright as the sun; When she cried, the tears in her eyes were glittering pearls and treasures.
Stone. When she was fifteen, the king called all three daughters to his side. You can never imagine that she is like the rising sun.
How surprised the ministers present were when they walked in radiant! At this time, the king asked them, children, I
I don't know when I will leave you, so I decided today that each of you can get some after I die.
What? All three of you love me very much, but the one who loves me the most deserves the best. All three daughters say they are the best.
Love him. So the king asked, "Can you tell me how much you love me?" In this way, I will know if you are
Really love me. So the eldest daughter said,' I love my father like the sweetest dessert.' Then, the second daughter said,' I
Loving my father is like loving my most beautiful clothes. But the youngest daughter was silent. The king asked her, "What about you? I am the most."
Dear child, how do you love me? "I don't know," she replied. "Nothing can be with me.
Compared with love. But the king insisted on her talking, so she finally said,' You know, food without salt is the best.
I don't like it either, so I love my father like salt. The king was very angry and said, "Since you like salt.
Love me too, then I will repay your love with salt. In this way, he divided his kingdom between his two eldest daughters.
Instead, the attendants tied a bag of salt to the little girl and ordered them to throw her into the deserted forest. we
Everyone pleaded for her, but the king still did not change his mind. When the little girl had to leave, the queen continued to cry.
When we were together, she cried so sadly! Her pearl tears were all over the road. Soon, the king because of his this.
Yao severely punished his little daughter and deeply regretted it, so he sent someone to the forest to look for the poor child, but he searched all over the place.
Da Lin still hasn't seen her. Later, as long as I thought that she might be eaten by wild animals, I would be very sad.
I can help myself. Sometimes I comfort myself, thinking that she may still be alive, hiding in some cave or being kind.
Someone adopted it. However, when I saw the little emerald box you gave me, I saw a pearl embedded in it, and its shape
How excited I was when it was exactly the same as the pearl tears falling in my daughter's eyes! You have to tell me.
Me, how did you get this pearl? "So the little count told her that she came from an old woman who lived in a big forest.
I got it there. Hearing this, the king and queen decided to go to the old woman because they thought she must know very little.
The whereabouts of the princess.
Said that the old woman was sitting at home spinning and weaving at the spinning wheel. It was already dark and the stove was at her feet.
A piece of charcoal burning in the pot gave off a faint light. At this moment, suddenly there was a rattle in the distance. It turned out to be
Her goose came back from the grass, and soon her daughter came back, too. But the old lady ignored her, only
Nod to her. So the daughter sat down beside her and took the spindle from her hand, as smart as a girl.
Spinning skillfully. They worked in silence for two hours without saying a word. At this moment, they heard something.
Something is calling outside the window, and I see two eyes shining. It turned out to be an old owl cooing.
Wow. So the old woman looked up at the sky and said,
"Time's up, daughter. Go and do your own thing. "
So the girl went out. Where the hell is she going? I saw her walk across the grass and then go straight ahead.
Walking into the valley, she finally came to the well next to three old oak trees. At this time, the round moon has quietly climbed to the top of the mountain.
The bright moonlight shines in the valley, and everything is so bright, as if a needle could be found when it fell to the ground. I saw her take off her face.
Face, bowed their heads and washed by the well. After washing her face, she dipped the dough into the water again and put it on the grass.
Smooth and dry. But you can never imagine what this girl in the moonlight looks like! I saw her gray fake braid fall off.
Hanging down, a blonde hair hangs freely on her shoulders like sunshine, as if covering her whole body like a coat. she
Two eyes are as bright as stars in the night sky, and delicate cheeks are like blooming flowers.
But this beautiful girl is very sad. She sat on the ground and began to cry sadly. Tears fall freely one by one.
Hairdressing room. She sat like this for a long time. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the nearby Woods, and she heard the hunting sound like a human head.
People jumped up from the ground like deer and shot. At this time, the moon was covered by the nebula, and in a blink of an eye, the girl appeared again.
Putting on her face and wig, she suddenly disappeared into the Woods like a lamp that was blown out by the wind.
The girl ran home trembling like a poplar leaf. The old woman was standing by the door at this moment, and the girl wanted to cut her hair.
I told her about the delivery, but she smiled and said, "I already know everything." The old woman brought the girl into the house and then
A piece of wood was added to the stove, but instead of sitting on the spinning wheel, she took a broom and began to clean the house.
Son. "Everything must be cleaned." She said to the girl. "But, Mom," said the girl, "why are you?
Why did you start work so late? What's the matter with you? ""Do you know what time it is? " Not yet, the old woman asked.
"It's midnight," the girl replied, "but it's past eleven." "Don't you remember? You were three years ago today.
God came to me! "The old woman continued," You have been with me long enough, and you can't stay here any longer.
Here it is. The girl was taken aback and asked, "Oh, dear mom, do you want to kick me out?" Where do you want me to go?
I have neither friends nor home. Where can I go? I have done everything you asked me to do, and you have been very kind to me.
Satisfied, don't kick me out! "The old lady didn't want to tell her the real reason. She just said, "I won't stay here anymore, but I ...
When you move out, you should clean this place, so don't interfere with my work, and don't worry, you will find it.
Residence. The reward I give you will satisfy you. ""But please tell me what will happen.
And then what? "The girl continued," I tell you again, don't interfere in my work. Stop asking and go back to your room.
Take the dough off your face, put on the silk dress you wore when you first came to my place, and then stay in your own room.
Until I call you out. "
It is said that the king, the queen and the little count went out of the palace together to look for the old woman in the wilderness. Evening, uncle
Feeling left behind in the forest, I had to move on alone. The next day, he found the way up the mountain and went on.
Go ahead and climb a tree until it gets dark, ready to spend the night there. When the moon came out, he found it.
A figure came down from the mountain. Although he didn't have a whip in his hand, he recognized this man at a glance.
"Ah," he almost cried out, "it's her. I just escaped from the clutches of a witch, Mo.
Do you have to fall into the hands of another witch now? "But when he saw Goose Girl go to the well and take off her face, she had a golden head.
He was surprised when his long hair hung freely over his shoulders, because he had never seen such a beautiful girl as her in his life. He is very big.
I dare not breathe, but I try my best to cran my neck and stare at this beautiful girl. Maybe it's because his body is too far away.
Leaning forward, or for some other reason, a branch suddenly snapped. Just then, I saw a girl flying.
He quickly put on his face and wig and jumped up like a deer. The girl was in his eyes at the moment when the moon was covered by dark clouds.
It disappeared under the skin.
Hardly had she escaped when he jumped down from the tree and followed her closely. Soon, he saw two in the night.
A figure crossed the grass. It turned out to be the king and queen. They saw the lights in the old woman's house from a distance and came this way.
Here we go. At this moment, the count came forward and told them the strange things he saw by the well, and they soon determined that it must be him.
Our long-lost daughter. So they walked forward happily and soon came to the lighted hut. View only
The geese curled up in a circle and slept with their heads stuck in their wings. The three of them looked into the window and saw the old man.
Grandma sat in the room spinning and nodded, but didn't look back. The room is clean, like this
Children live like children, and their feet won't get dirty. They searched for a long time, but they didn't see the girl.
So they got up their courage and knocked on the window. At this moment, the old woman who seemed to have been waiting for them stood up.
Come on, say very kindly, "Come in, I know you are here." So, they went in, Lao.
Grandma added, "If you hadn't driven your kind and lovely child out of the house three years ago, you wouldn't have to go so far today."
Well done. It's just that it doesn't do her any harm here, because for three years, she only raised geese, so her little heart didn't.
There is no trauma, but you have been living in anxiety and got the punishment you deserve. "Say that finish, she will
Go to another door and say loudly, "Come out, my daughter." At this moment, the door opened and a man came out.
A beautiful girl in a robe. I saw her blonde hair hanging freely over her shoulders, and her eyes seemed to descend to earth.
Fairy.
She walked up to her parents, hugged them and kissed them, and everyone cried with joy. At this time, gu
Mother saw the young count standing beside them, and her face was like a blushing rose on the Yuan Ye.
At this moment, the king said, "Dear child, my kingdom has been given to your two sisters. What should I give you? "
"She doesn't need anything," said the old woman. "I want to give her back the tears she shed for you. Are all comparative problems.
Pearls from the sea are more beautiful and precious than your whole kingdom. Besides, I'm leaving this cabin.
She, as a reward for raising geese here. "The words sound just fell and the old woman disappeared in front of them. At this time, they
I heard the walls creaking around me. When I turned around, I saw that the hut had become a magnificent palace, and so had the dining table of the empire.
Yes, many servants are busy serving food!
The story is not over yet, but my grandmother who told me this story can't remember the following plot. But I always thought
Because the beautiful princess must have married the count. They must live in that palace and live a happy life.
Respect the elderly. The little white geese raised in front of the hut are the girls adopted by the old lady-they have them now.
I don't know that I didn't regain my human form and stay with the young queen as a maid, but I think it must be like this. but
One thing is certain, that is, the old lady is not what people call an old witch, but a kind-hearted woman.
Scholar, let the princess be born. It's not tears that cry, but pearls, mostly old ladies.
That's right.
