Fairy Tales of the Glass Castle A long time ago, in a faraway place, there was a castle made of glass. When the weather is fine, the sun shines on the castle, shining like the whole castle is made of gold. No one knows why the castle is made of glass, which is really not a good idea, because if you are not careful, you may break things in the castle; But in any case, the residents of the castle never doubted its beauty. They will stand up and assure you: "Our castle is the most beautiful in the world. No matter which angle you look at it, you will see a different but equally beautiful castle. 」
Of course there is a king in the castle. He is a fat and white king. He is not a bad king except for greed. The king's daughter is speechless with beauty. She is not only beautiful and capable, but also has a natural good heart. The princess is eighteen years old this year. The boys in the city never dreamed of marrying a princess. They thought, "I hope the princess will marry a prince from all over the world." 」
Of course, the king also wants his daughter to marry a good prince, but his so-called good prince is: "My daughter is so beautiful, if she wants to marry her, she must be the richest prince." Therefore, when the news came out that he was going to marry his daughter, princes from all directions flocked to show their wealth to the king one after another. The first prince brought a cart full of gold. The king said, "This is nothing. Look at my gold. The king showed the poor prince his vault. This is a warehouse with at least one hundred carts of gold in it. The prince left in despair.
The second prince came, and he brought a car full of jewels. The king looked at it and said, "this is much better, but you can enjoy my jewelry." The king showed him his treasure house. There are not only many gems in it, but also large and flawless, so the second prince had to take his jewels home.
The third prince comes from the far east. He took a big ship, which was full of all kinds of art products and rare gems. The king was very satisfied when he saw what he had brought. Because the king didn't have enough artworks in his collection, he decided to marry his daughter.
But the fourth prince came. This prince is a soldier. He is wearing latosolic red armor. The prince brought nothing. He took a crown inlaid with diamonds that the king had seen and surrounded by rubies. The king said, "Samurai! Your gift is very good, but the quantity is too small. I still want to marry my daughter to that oriental. " The red warrior spoke. He said, "Your Majesty, this is only one thousandth of my gift. If I kill the big gray dragon in the south, you can get all my gifts, which are enough to fill your castle with jewels. The king was very moved and said, "All right! Dear soldier, if you kill the grey dragon within one month, then I will marry the princess to you, but if you don't finish the task as scheduled, the princess will belong to the East. 」
The Red Warrior added, "Before I go on an adventure, I want to see the legendary beautiful princess. Otherwise, how do I know if she is worth my adventure?" . The king smiled. He was full of confidence in his daughter, so he agreed to the samurai's request, but the samurai could only peep through the curtains.
The samurai looked at the princess outside her bedroom. At that time, the princess was playing with her parrot. The princess is singing a song, which is a folk song of the glass castle: "Oh! My love, I don't love your wealth, because you love me, so the place with you is heaven. " The samurai was completely fascinated. He only saw the beauty of the princess and her oriole-like voice, and he decided to kill the dragon with all his strength.
The samurai took his entourage to the mountains in the south. He tried to climb up, over thorns and cliffs, through the dangerous jungle and into the gray dragon cave. The grey dragon is sleeping. When he heard the samurai's voice, he looked up and said, "Ah! You daredevil, you stole my crown last time. What are you doing here now? 」
The samurai raised his sword and shouted, "In the name of God, I will kill you today!" " The soldier rushed forward, and the grey dragon stood up lazily, as if ignoring the soldier's attack.
The grey dragon just fluttered its wings gently, and the poor red warrior couldn't walk any further. The soldier tried and tried, but he couldn't reach the grey dragon. Grey dragons are very satisfied with the strength of their wings. He smiled, spewed terrible mucus and said, "You are no match for me at all! Look at your poor equipment and thin body. 」
The red warrior gasped and said, "but I have passion and love!" 」
Black dragon's eyes lit up and he said, "Passion and love alone are not enough to kill me. Tell you what! I will give you my wings, so that our duel will be fairer. Do you want to accept it? 」
The red warrior looked at the big wings of the gray dragon and he agreed. The grey dragon said a spell, and a pair of bat-like wings grew on the soldier's back. So he took another step forward. This time, he flew and cut on the gray dragon. Grey dragon watched him chop, and his ugly mouth rose slightly. The soldier soon found that he couldn't cut the scales of the gray dragon at all. He flew down, looked at the gray dragon and said, "Hey! Black dragon! This is still unfair! . I don't have a good weapon to penetrate your scales. 」
Black dragon said, "Do you want weapons? All right! I'll give you my teeth, which can easily penetrate Longlin! The red warrior agreed again. He picked up the dragon tooth and found it really sharp, but there was no handle, so he went down the mountain to find a blacksmith to install the handle. Because he has wings, he soon reached the foot of the mountain. When the residents saw his wings, they thought he was a demon and refused to help him. The samurai searched for a long time and found an old blacksmith. When the blacksmith heard that he was going to kill the dragon, he promised to make a handle for him. The blacksmith clenched his fist and said, "My son used to be a samurai. He went up the mountain to kill dragons to prove that he was the bravest warrior, but he never came back and his wife died of grief. I hope you can do it for us. " The samurai didn't listen to the old blacksmith, he just kept urging him. Finally, the grip of the dragon tooth sword was made, and the samurai left happily with the sword. The old blacksmith watched the Red Warrior fly back, sighed and went back to his room. The samurai reminded him of his son, and he also took the Dragon Tooth Sword back, put on the grip and never came back.
The samurai flew back to the cave and challenged the grey dragon without wings and teeth again. This time, the grey dragon easily tore the warrior's armor into pieces with its claws, so the red warrior begged the grey dragon for scales. After Long Lin, the samurai asked the dragon for the ability to breathe fire. Finally, the samurai asked the dragon for mercy. The samurai looked at the gray dragon lying on the ground without scales, claws and fire-breathing mouths and wings, and his heart was very proud. He laughed at the sky, only to find that his hearty laughter was gone, turned into a dumb gasp, and spit out bursts of fire clouds. The samurai suddenly felt that his body was getting bigger and bigger, as if it were going to explode. His Long Lin seemed to stick to his flesh, and the Dragon's Tooth Sword disappeared. He felt his teeth sting his mouth, and finally he fainted on the ground because of severe physical pain.
"Ah! You should wake up! " The red warrior heard a grateful voice. He opened his eyes and saw a mature soldier armed to the teeth. The soldier looks so small! The Red Warrior asked, "Who are you? Friend, please help me! 」
The mature soldier said, "Young man! I am the grey dragon you want to kill! 」
The red knight shouted, "You are the grey dragon. What about the grey dragon now? Are you still alive? 」
The mature soldier said in a pitying and sorry tone, "black dragon is immortal, you! Now it's the grey dragon. 」
The red warrior shouted even louder, "I am the gray dragon!" " You lied to me. He tried to rush forward and kill the big liar, but found himself running on four legs. His running shook the earth. He stopped and fell to the ground.
The princess of Caton Castle once had a tenant farmer. He and his wife live in a distant forest. They have two children, a boy and a girl. They are poor because all their possessions are a cow and a cat.
The tenant farmer and his wife often quarrel. You can be sure that if the old man wants to do this, the old lady will always do it. One day, the old woman cooked porridge for the evening. When they went to work, the old man wanted to scrape the bottom of the pot. But the old woman wouldn't let him shave. She means that only she, no one else, has the right to scrape the bottom of the pot. They quarreled so much that they refused to give in to each other. Finally, the old woman picked up the pot and spoon and ran away. The old man grabbed the spoon and ran after it. They walked through the forest and mountains, with the old lady in front and the old man behind, but the story didn't tell us who scraped the bottom of the pot at last.
After a while, there was still no news from their parents, so the two children had to fend for themselves. They agreed to divide the house and property. But as often happens, it is very difficult to divide the property, because there is nothing to divide except a cow and a cat, and they all want the cow. While the two of them were negotiating, the cat came to the young tenant farmer's daughter, courted her, touched her knee gently, and Mimi cried, "Want me!" Want me! " Because the boy insisted on the cow, the girl finally had to give in to the cat. Brother and sister broke up, and the boy took his cow. The little girl and her cat are walking on the forest path. No one told me where they were going before they came to a magnificent palace.
As we approached the palace, the cat shouted to its owner Mimi, "If you are willing to take my advice, it will bring you happiness." Well, the girl believed in the cat's resourcefulness and promised to listen to it. At this moment, the cat said, "Take off your old clothes and climb to a very high tree. Then I went to the palace and said that the daughter of a noble king was suddenly attacked on the road and all her belongings and clothes were taken away. " Well, the tenant farmer's daughter did as the cat said. She took off her clothes and climbed a tree. The cat ran to the palace at once, and the little girl sat in the leaves of the tree, waiting quietly to see how everything would develop.
When the king who ruled this country learned that a foreign princess had suffered so much trouble and violence, he felt great indignation. He asked his servant to bring clothes and other things to invite the princess into the palace. The tenant farmer's daughter put on those elegant new clothes. She looked exactly like a princess, and then she followed the king's waiter. When she came to the palace, everyone was attracted by her beauty and nobility, and the young prince was the most moved. But the queen felt something was wrong. She asked where the beautiful princess's palace was.
As the cat taught her, the girl replied, "I live in a palace called Caton Castle, which is far from here."
The old queen is not satisfied with this answer. She wants to know whether this foreign girl is really the king's daughter. To this end, she came to the guest's room at night, put a soft silk mattress on the bed, but secretly put a bean under the sheet, "because," she thought, "if she were a princess, she would certainly be able to detect the bean." They politely took the tenant farmer's daughter to the bedroom. But the cat noticed the queen's cunning and told her master about it. Early in the morning, the old queen came in and asked her guests how they slept at night. The girl answered as the cat taught her, "I fell asleep because I was so tired on the road." But I think the bed is particularly hard, as if there is a big mountain below. if in
I slept better in my own bed at Caton Castle. "At this moment, the queen thought, she must be of noble birth, but she thought to herself that she would test her.
The next night, the queen came to the guest's room and made the bed with a soft silk mattress, but some peas were placed on the first mattress, "because," she thought, "if she is really the king's daughter as she said, she will definitely feel something." The tenant farmer's daughter was then politely taken to the bedroom.
But the cat noticed the queen's plot and told the hostess about it. The next morning, the queen hurried in and asked her guests how they slept at night. The girl answered as the cat taught me, "Well, I slept in general at night because I was very tired, but I think there is a stone under me." . I slept much more comfortably in my own bed at Caton Castle. "At this moment, what will the Queen say except that she is a real princess? But her doubts have not been dispelled. She sat there thinking about testing the foreign girl again to see if she was really as noble as she said.
On the third night, the queen came to the guest's room again. Make the bed for the tenant's daughter with a soft silk mattress, but she put a straw under the second mattress, "because," she thought, "if she were the daughter of a king, she would definitely feel this way." Then the tenant farmer's daughter was politely taken to her bedroom. But the cat noticed the queen's strategy and told her master about it. Early in the morning, the queen came in and asked the guests how they slept at night. According to the cat's answer, the girl said, "Because I was very tired, of course I fell asleep, but I felt like there was a big tree under me." When I was in the palace of Caton Castle, they made me a more comfortable bed. "The queen knew that she could never tell right from wrong in this way, so she decided to observe carefully and see her performance in other ways.
The next day, the queen gave her guests a beautiful silk dress, just like aristocratic women often wear. The tenant farmer's daughter thanked her for such a nice gift, but she didn't think much, but the cat warned her master that the old queen would test her. After a while, the queen asked the princess if she would like to go out for a walk with her. The daughter of the tenant agreed, and then they came to a garden together. The maids were very careful, especially afraid of soiling the edge of the skirt, because it rained at night, but the foreign girl walked quietly, regardless of her skirt dragging on the ground. Then the queen said, "dear princess! Be careful of your skirt. " The tenant's daughter proudly replied, "This is not the only skirt here. When I was in my own palace in Katen Castle, it was much better than here. " Now the old queen no longer doubts that the girl is always used to wearing silk clothes, so she thinks she must be the daughter of a king. The queen no longer stopped her son from pursuing her, and in addition, the daughter of the tenant farmer readily agreed.
The princess in the castle stands a magnificent diamond castle deep in the dense forest. Everything in the castle is priceless. The gates made of gold diamonds, the window frames made of silver diamonds, and even the garbage bins there are all made of diamonds. In this magnificent castle, there lived a lovely little princess for many years. There, there was no one to accompany her except the little princess Bing Xin. Princess Bingxin can only watch the flowers grow in the garden alone every day. Why is a girl in flower season willing to give up her freedom and stay alone?
Because when there are other people besides Bing Xin in this castle; What a happy time it was for the noble emperor, the beautiful queen and a large group of amiable servants to live together in this castle! During that time, Princess Bingxin was loved by her parents and grew up playing with her childhood sweetheart. Since a huge demon of unknown origin flew to the castle, it occupied everything and killed everyone there. He killed the emperor, queen and servant. When it was Bing Xin's turn, the devil accidentally saw a natural blue diamond ring on the princess's hand. That diamond ring was a relic that Bing Xin gave her before her parents died. It has a lot of energy! Enough power to destroy the whole castle! Princess Bingxin, who didn't know the secret at that time, naively thought that it didn't kill her because she couldn't bear it! Still foolishly locked in the castle, waiting for her dear prince to come and take her out.
Another quiet night. Bing Xin, who stayed in the castle for five years, is now quietly watching the stars in the open-air garden. Sitting in a rocking chair, holding a cup of warm water, staring at the little guy shining in the sky. This is beyond comparison Loneliness. . So lonely. . Why are you always alone? . His royal highness the prince. . Why haven't you come yet? . Father and mother. . I really want to see you. . When can I go out? . . . A few tears flowed from the empty eyes. . Suddenly, a meteor flashed across the sky, breaking all the tranquility. She seems to understand something. Late at night, a petite figure moved in the direction of the castle gate. . . The door won't open. . . Climb the wall! . . . . So high. . Reluctantly climb over. . Bing Xin, who is bent on running away, has no idea. Because of her subtle voice, the devil's ears, which used to sleep next to the castle, stood upright, and his red eyes opened with a bang, looking for it in the direction of Bing Xin. Roar-boom, before Bing Xin escaped, the devil came to her, provoked * and spewed a fireball at her. Ah! Devil! -You killed them! I'll kill you! -at this time, she has lost her mind and picked up a stick and rushed at it. . . As a result, it is conceivable that she was swallowed up by the devil. . .
Suddenly, a light came from the devil. . . This is a huge energy that can be destroyed! -Demons, castles, forests, princesses, disappear with the light. . .
It's over. . Mom. . Dad. . I'm coming. . Wait for me. . . .
