1: the story of the golden goose
Once upon a time there was a man who raised three sons on his knees. The youngest son is called a little fool, who is often laughed at and teased by the other two sons and always looked down upon. Once, the eldest son went to the forest to cut wood. His mother asked him to bring a delicious big cake and a bottle of wine in case he was hungry and thirsty.
After walking to the forest, he met a little old man with white hair. The little old man said good to him, and then said to him, "Give me a piece of cake in your bag and have a drink." . I am hungry and thirsty. It's unbearable. "
The selfish eldest son replied, "Why should I give you my cake and wine?" I gave it to you. What do I eat and drink? Give it to me * * *! "Say that finish, he gave the little old man a white eye and left by himself.
Then he began to cut down trees. After chopping for a while, he didn't cut the tree with one axe, but cut his arm, so he had to go home and dress it.
Next, the second son went to the forest to cut wood. Mother asked him to bring a big cake and a bottle of wine, just like the eldest son. He also met the little white-haired old man, who begged for a small piece of cake and a sip of wine. The second son said rudely, "I will never give you food or drink. I will starve myself." The little old man stood there piteously, holding out his hands. He ignored him and left. He suffered the same retribution-the axe didn't cut the tree, but it cut his leg and had to be carried home.
At this time, the little fool said to his father, "Dad, let me cut wood."
His father replied, "Look, your two brothers went to chop wood and cut themselves. You have never cut wood, not at all, so don't go. "
However, the little fool kept begging his father, and finally his father had to agree.
Mother asked him to bring a cake baked with charcoal ash and a bottle of sour beer for lunch.
When he came to the forest, he also met the little white-haired old man. The little old man greeted him and said, "Give me some of your cake and have a drink."
The little fool replied, "sit down, but I only have a cake baked with carbon ash and sour beer." If you don't mind, let's eat together. "
So, they sat down, but when the little fool took out the cake baked in the carbon ash, the cake became a big cake, and the sour beer became a good wine.
After they finished eating and drinking, the little old man said to him, "It's very kind of you to share your lunch with me, and I will repay you well." There is an old tree over there. Go and cut it down. You will find the treasure in the box. "
The little fool went over and cut down the tree. Just when the old tree fell to the ground, a big goose flew out, and its feathers were all pure gold. He picked up the golden goose and went to a small hotel for the night. The shopkeeper has three daughters, and they are particularly curious to see such a beautiful big goose. The eldest daughter thought, "I must have a chance to pull out one of its feathers." So, when the little fool was not in the room, she ran over and grabbed the golden goose's wings. Unexpectedly, her fingers were firmly stuck and could not be pulled back. After a while, the second daughter came in and tried to pull out a feather, but as soon as she was next to her sister, she was firmly stuck. Then, the third daughter came, and the two sisters shouted at her, "For God's sake, don't come!" " But she wouldn't listen. She rushed to see what the two sisters were doing and got stuck. In this way, the three sisters had to spend the night with the golden goose.
The next morning, the little fool picked up the golden goose and went on his way, without noticing the three shopkeepers who were stuck on the golden goose and followed. The three young ladies had to follow the little fool closely, twitching and trotting all the way.
When they went to the wild, they met a priest. The priest looked at the small team and said, "What a shame, you crazy girls! Running around with a young man, like what! " With that, the priest grabbed Miss San and tried to pull her away. Unexpectedly, he got stuck and had to run with several girls.
Soon, they met the deacon. When the deacon saw the priest chasing three girls, he was dumbfounded. He shouted, "Reverend, where are you going in such a hurry?" Don't forget, you will be baptized today! "After shouting, he ran forward and grabbed the pastor's sleeve. As a result, he got stuck and ran after him like everyone else.
Just as five people in this line were marching in tandem, two farmers came to the field carrying rakes. The priest shouted loudly and asked them to release him and the deacon, but they just met the deacon and got stuck helplessly. In this way, seven people have run after the little fool holding the golden goose.
They came to a city. The king who lives in the city has a daughter as cold as ice, and no one can make her laugh. So the king has publicly announced that whoever can make his daughter laugh can marry her.
When the little fool heard about it, he came to the princess with the golden goose and a bunch of followers. When the princess saw that seven people were inseparable and connected in a string, she immediately laughed and laughed endlessly.
So, the little fool proposed to marry the princess, but the king didn't agree, so he raised various objections, saying that in order to get him to nod and agree that the little fool should be his son-in-law, the little fool must first find someone who can drink a cellar of wine to see him.
The little fool remembered the little old man and went to the place where he cut down the old tree in the forest. I saw the little old man sitting there with a sad face. The little fool stepped forward and asked him what he was unhappy about.
The little old man replied, "I am so thirsty that nothing can quench my thirst." What about cold water? I can't take it anymore. Where's the wine I just drank a bucket, and it felt like a drop of water soaked a burnt stone. What's the use? "
"Listen, I can help you," said the little fool. "Come with me, and you can quench your thirst."
Then the little fool led the little old man into the king's wine cellar. The little old man walked to the front of the vat, drank and drank, and his back ached. When it was dark, he drank all the wine in the cellar.
The little fool once again proposed to marry the princess. When the king heard this, he flew into a rage: It is wishful thinking for a silly boy who is teased by everyone to be my son-in-law! So the king put forward more stringent conditions: the little fool must bring such a person into the palace ... he can finish a pile of bread as big as a mountain.
The little fool came to the place where he cut down the old tree in the forest again.
I saw a man sitting there, his belt tied tightly and he looked sad. "I ate a whole furnace of brown bread," he said to the little fool, "but I was so hungry. What can I do with this? My stomach is still empty. You see, if I don't starve to death, I will tighten my belt like this. "
The little fool was ecstatic and said, "get up!" I'll take you to a place where you can eat with an open stomach and be full. "
The little fool took him to the palace. The bread piled there looks like a mountain and is baked with flour from all over the country.
People from the forest began to eat with relish, and in less than a day, the pile of bread disappeared without a trace.
The little fool proposed to the princess for the third time, but the king pushed from pillar to post again.
This time, the king asked the little fool to get a boat that could sail on the sea and land. "Come and see me in a boat like this," he said, "and you can marry my daughter."
The little fool set off at once, went to the forest again and found the little old man with white hair. The little old man said to him, "I have drunk so much wine and eaten so much bread for you, and now I am willing to give you an amphibious boat." I did all this for you, because you are very friendly to me. "
So the little old man gave the little fool an amphibious boat. When the king saw the boat, it was difficult to stop the little fool's request.
The little fool married the princess. After the death of the king, the little fool succeeded to the throne and made the kingdom prosperous.
2: Three feathers
Once upon a time there was a king who had three sons. Both the eldest and the second are clever, but the youngest son is simple-minded and doesn't like to talk. People call him "simple-minded". The king is old and weak, and when he thinks about what will happen behind him, he finds it difficult to determine which son will inherit the throne. He called his three sons and said to them, "whoever brings back the most beautiful carpet will inherit the throne." He thinks they have nothing to argue about. He led his sons outside, blew a breath on the three feathers and said, "You should go separately in the direction pointed by the feathers." One of the three feathers faces east, the other faces west, and the third one flies straight up for a while, and then falls to the ground. The two brothers laughed at the "simpleton" brother because he had to stay here, and then they ran around looking for the most beautiful carpet. The little prince was very sad to sit on the ground and suddenly found a floor door next to the feather. He lifted the lid and saw several stairs, so he walked down them. Soon there will be another door. He stretched out his hand and knocked, and heard someone say inside:
"Qingqing maid is lame,
The lame dog jumped around,
Let's see who will come. "
When the door opened, I saw a big toad crouching there, surrounded by little toads. It asked the little prince what he wanted, and the little prince said, "I want the most beautiful carpet with the best texture in the world." The big toad called a little toad and said to it:
"Qingqing maid is lame,
The lame dog jumped around,
Bring a big box to have a look. "
The little toad went to the box, and the big toad opened the lid and took out a carpet from it for the simpleton. The quality of the carpet is very good, and the patterns and colors are very beautiful. No one in the world can weave it. After thanking Toad, the little prince came out with a carpet. Moreover, the two brothers think that their younger brother is stupid, and I believe that he can't find any good carpets, so he doesn't want to bother to find them. They all bought some wool handkerchiefs from the first shepherd's wife and brought them back. At this time, "simpleton" also came back. He gave his father a beautiful carpet. When the king saw it, he was surprised and said, "In all fairness, the throne belongs to the little prince."
But the other two brothers argued that "simpleton" couldn't be king because he didn't think through anything. They made the king fidgety, so they had to play again. The king went on to say, "whoever brings me the most beautiful ring will inherit the throne." Then he took his three sons outside, blew three feathers into the air and told them to follow the direction indicated by the feathers. The eldest prince and the second prince are one east and one west, and the "simpleton" feather rises upwards and then falls in place. His brothers laughed at him and said that he couldn't find the gold ring, but he took out the old gold ring and took it to the gold shop to make it again. The little prince climbed down like last time and asked the big toad for the most beautiful ring in the world.
Toad ordered to bring in a big box and take out a shiny gem ring from it. Its craftsmanship is superb, and craftsmen on the ground can't do it. When the little prince brought the gold ring to the king, his father said, "The throne belongs to the little prince." But the two brothers are still unwilling. They keep putting pressure on their father to promise to play again. He also said that whoever brings the most beautiful girl home will succeed. The king still blew three feathers into the air, pointing in the same direction as before.
The simpleton immediately went down to the big toad and said, "I want to take the most beautiful girl in the world home!" " ""oh? The most beautiful girl! " The big toad said, "She is not at home now. But you can still take her home. " With that, he gave him a hollow radish covered with six little mice.
"Fool," said the little prince helplessly, "what's the use of these?" The big toad said, "Just catch a little toad and put it in." He grabbed one and put it in. Before the little toad sat down, he immediately turned into a beautiful and dignified girl, a radish into a real carriage, and six little mice into six good horses.
The simpleton kissed the girl and immediately rushed back to the carriage to see his father. His two brothers also came back later. They didn't want to go to great lengths to find a beautiful girl, but they brought back the first peasant girl they met. The king looked at it and said, "When I die, the throne will be inherited by the little prince."
The two brothers quarreled and said, "We don't agree with' simpleton' being king!" The noise made the king deaf. They asked to hang a circle in the middle of the hall, whose wife could jump over and inherit the throne. They thought to themselves, "The peasant girl is strong and strong. There will be no problem jumping over that circle. That beautiful girl will definitely fall to her death." The king had no choice but to agree. First, two village girls jumped off a building. They jumped, but they were so clumsy that they broke their hands and feet. It was the turn of the little prince's beautiful girl, and she passed with a slight leap, as light as a deer. Now no one has anything to say. The little prince inherited the throne and became a wise king.
3: Thousand-skinned beast
Once upon a time, there was a king whose wife had blonde hair, and her beauty was unparalleled in the world. Unfortunately, she is ill and will die soon. She called the king to her side and said, "If you want to marry another woman after my death, promise me that you must marry a beautiful blonde like me." 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, "It can't go on like this. The king must marry another one so that we can have a queen. " So he sent messengers from all directions to find a beautiful girl like the late queen. However, the whole country is looking for it, but it can't be found. Occasionally, they found a beautiful blonde without the queen's blonde hair, so the messengers had to go home empty-handed.
The king has a daughter who looks exactly like her mother and has blonde hair. She grew up day by day. The king looked at her and felt that she looked like her late wife everywhere, so he had a strong love for her. He said to the ministers, "I want to marry my daughter, who is the reappearance of my ex-wife." I can't find anyone more like her. The ministers said in utter amazement, "God forbids 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, "Before I agree to your request, I must get three clothes: one is as golden as the sun, one is as silver as the moon, and the other is as bright as the star." Besides, I want a cloak, which must be sewn from the fur of thousands of different animals. Every animal in your country must offer a piece of fur. "The princess thought," This is impossible. This will make my father change his mind. However, the king did not give up. He asked the most skilled girl to knit those three clothes ... one is as bright as the sun, the other is as silver as the moon, and the other is as bright as the stars. He also told the best hunters to catch every animal, then take its fur and sew a cloak with thousands of skins. When everything was ready, the king spread his cloak in front of the princess and said,
"We will have a wedding tomorrow."
As soon as the princess couldn't change her father's mind, she decided to fly away. At night, while people were sleeping, the princess took out a gold ring, a gold spinning wheel and a gold spool from the jewelry box, then put three clothes, such as sunshine, moon and stars, into a small box, blackened her hands, feet and face with smoke, put on a cloak with a thousand layers of skin and set off. She resigned herself to walking all night and 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. He happened to be out hunting that day. The hounds ran to 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 hiding there." After the hunter went, he came back and said, "There is a strange animal sleeping in a tree hole. Its skin is made up of thousands of skins." We have never seen such an animal before. The king went on to say, "Let's see if we 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 cried in horror," I am a poor child abandoned by my parents. Have pity on me and take me away. "The hunter said," Thousand skins beast, I think it's okay for you to go to the kitchen to help sweep the dust. "Come with me." They put the princess in a carriage and took her back to the palace. They pointed to an opaque cloakroom under the stairs and said to her, "Mao, you can live here." From then on, the princess was sent to the kitchen to pick firewood, carry water, sweep the ashes, pluck chicken and duck feathers, pick vegetables, dig out the stove, and do all kinds of dirty and tired work. Thousands of animals lived a miserable life there for a long time. 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 up the ashes." The princess picked up the oil lamp and returned to her room. She took off her fur cloak and washed the black smoke from her face, hands and feet. Her beauty immediately sparkled. She opened the small box, took out the golden dress and put it on, and went into the banquet hall. People made way for her. Although no one knows her, everyone thinks she has the temperament 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!" At the end of the song, the princess knelt down to the king. When the king looked up again, the princess had disappeared. He called the guards standing at the gate of the palace to ask, but everyone said they had never seen them. The princess ran back to the room, quickly took off her clothes, redrawn her face, and her hands and feet were covered with black soot. She put on a fur cloak and went to the kitchen to sweep the ashes. The cook said, "Let's sweep the ashes tomorrow morning. Let's make a bowl of soup for the king first. I'm going upstairs to have a look. " Be careful not to drop dirty things like hair into the soup, or I will punish you for starving! "When the cook left, Qianpi beast made a bowl of bread soup for the king, which was the best one she made, and then put the gold ring she brought into 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 soup. After drinking, he found the gold ring. He couldn't believe it. He sent for the cook. When the cook heard the king's call, he was so scared that he said to the beast, "You must have dropped your hair in the soup. If so, I'll give you a good beating. " 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 the method is different." The chef replied, "I admit that I didn't make the soup, but that hairy guy did." 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, "My job is to be kicked." The king then asked, "Where did you get the gold ring in the soup?" "I don't know any gold rings." When the king saw that he couldn't ask anything, he had to let her go back.
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. But you must come back in half an hour to make the soup that the king likes. " She promised to run back to her room, quickly wash away the smoke and black, put on a moonlight dress and walked into the ballroom like a princess. The king came forward and was glad to see her again. When the dance music started, they danced and danced together, but when the music ended, she quickly disappeared again, so fast that the king himself didn't see where she had gone. The princess ran and jumped into her room, turned herself into a furry animal and ran back to the kitchen to prepare the king's soup. When the cook went upstairs to watch the excitement, she quietly put the golden spinning wheel into the soup bowl. The servant brought the soup to the king, who liked it as much as 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 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." You always put something in the soup, which makes the king love your soup more than my soup. "But because of her well-meaning 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 Starlight Glimmer's dress and came to the hall. The king came forward to dance with her again, thinking that she was more beautiful like this, and put a ring on her when she was not looking. The king ordered the dance music to be extended, so when a song ended, the stipulated time had exceeded. 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 hurried back to the kitchen to make soup for the king, and put the gold spool in the soup while the chef was away. The king found the golden spool in the bowl, immediately called a thousand-skinned beast, found the white finger that was not blackened, and saw the ring he put on her when dancing. He gripped the hand tightly and the princess tried to break free. The cloak opened a crack, and the starlight on the clothes immediately leaked out. The king grabbed the cloak and pulled it, and the princess's golden hair suddenly shone. She stood there, slim and elegant, unable to hide any longer. When she washes away the black smoke, that kind of beauty will be unparalleled. The king said, "You are my dear bride. Please don't leave me again "They got married at that time and lived happily ever after.
