Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Once upon a time there was a little girl whose father and mother had died, and she was so poor that she no longer had a room to live in, nor a bed to sleep in, and at last she had nothing else but the clothes she was wearing and a little piece of bread in her hand that some charitable soul had given her. She was good and pious1, however. And as she was thus forsaken2 by all the world, she went forth3 into the country, trusting in dear God.
Then a poor man met her, who said, "Ah, give me something to eat, I am so hungry."
She handed him her entire piece of bread, saying, "May God bless it for you," and went on her way.
Then came a child who moaned4 and said, "My head is so cold. Give me something to cover it with." So she took off her cap and gave it to the child. And when she had walked a little farther5, she met another child who had no jacket and was freezing. So she gave her jacket to that child, and a little farther on one begged for a dress, and she gave her dress away as well. At length she made her way into a forest and it was already dark. Then there came yet another child, and asked for a shift6, and the pious girl thought to herself, "It is a dark night and no one can see you. You can very well give your shift away," and she took it off, and gave it away as well.
And thus she stood there, with nothing left at all, when suddenly some stars fell down from heaven, and they were nothing else but hard shining talers, and although she had just given her shift away, she was now wearing a new one which was of the very finest linen7. Then she gathered together the money into it, and was rich all the days of her life.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Once upon a time there was a man and a woman who had long, but to no avail, wished for a child. Finally the woman came to believe that the good Lord would fulfill1 her wish. Through the small rear window of these people's house they could see into a splendid garden that was filled with the most beautiful flowers and herbs. The garden was surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared enter, because it belonged to a sorceress who possessed2 great power and was feared by everyone.
One day the woman was standing3 at this window, and she saw a bed planted with the most beautiful rapunzel. It looked so fresh and green that she longed for some. It was her greatest desire to eat some of the rapunzel. This desire increased with every day, and not knowing how to get any, she became miserably4 ill.
Her husband was frightened, and asked her, "What ails5 you, dear wife?"
"Oh," she answered, " if I do not get some rapunzel from the garden behind our house, I shall die."
The man, who loved her dearly, thought, "Before you let your wife die, you must get her some of the rapunzel, whatever the cost."
So just as it was getting dark he climbed over the high wall into the sorceress's garden, hastily dug up a handful of rapunzel, and took it to his wife. She immediately made a salad from it, which she devoured6 eagerly. It tasted so very good to her that by the next day her desire for more had grown threefold. If she were to have any peace, the man would have to climb into the garden once again. Thus he set forth7 once again just as it was getting dark. But no sooner than he had climbed over the wall than, to his horror, he saw the sorceress standing there before him.
"How can you dare," she asked with an angry look, "to climb into my garden and like a thief to steal my rapunzel? You will pay for this."
"Oh," he answered, "Let mercy overrule justice. I cam to do this out of necessity. My wife saw your rapunzel from our window, and such a longing8 came over her, that she would die, if she did not get some to eat."
The sorceress's anger abated9 somewhat, and she said, "If things are as you say, I will allow you to take as much rapunzel as you want. But under one condition: You must give me the child that your wife will bring to the world. It will do well, and I will take care of it like a mother."
In his fear the man agreed to everything.
When the woman gave birth, the sorceress appeared, named the little girl Rapunzel, and took her away. Rapunzel became the most beautiful child under the sun. When she was twelve years old, the fairy locked her in a tower that stood in a forest and that had neither a door nor a stairway, but only a tiny little window at the very top.
When the sorceress wanted to enter, she stood below and called out: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me. Rapunzel had splendid long hair, as fine as spun10 gold. When she heard the sorceress's voice, she untied11 her braids, wound them around a window hook, let her hair fall twenty yards to the ground, and the sorceress climbed up it.
A few years later it happened that a king's son was riding through the forest. As he approached the tower he heard a song so beautiful that he stopped to listen. It was Rapunzel, who was passing the time by singing with her sweet voice. The prince wanted to climb up to her, and looked for a door in the tower, but none was to be found.
He rode home, but the song had so touched his heart that he returned to the forest every day and listened to it. One time, as he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw the sorceress approach, and heard her say: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair. Then Rapunzel let down her strands12 of hair, and the sorceress climbed up them to her.
"If that is the ladder into the tower, then sometime I will try my luck."
And the next day, just as it was beginning to get dark, he went to the tower and called out: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair. The hair fell down, and the prince climbed up.
At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as she had never seen before came in to her. However, the prince began talking to her in a very friendly manner, telling her that his heart had been so touched by her singing that he could have no peace until he had seen her in person. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him as her husband, she thought, "He would rather have me than would old Frau Gothel." She said yes and placed her hand into his. She said, "I would go with you gladly, but I do not know how to get down. Every time that you come, bring a strand13 of silk, from which I will weave a ladder. When it is finished I will climb down, and you can take me away on your horse. They arranged that he would come to her every evening, for the old woman came by day.
The sorceress did not notice what was happening until one day Rapunzel said to her, "Frau Gothel, tell me why it is that you are more difficult to pull up than is the young prince, who will be arriving any moment now?"
"You godless child," cried the sorceress. "What am I hearing from you? I thought I had removed you from the whole world, but you have deceived me nonetheless."
In her anger she grabbed Rapunzel's beautiful hair, wrapped it a few times around her left hand, grasped a pair of scissors with her right hand, and snip14 snap, cut it off. And she was so unmerciful that she took Rapunzel into a wilderness15 where she suffered greatly.
On the evening of the same day that she sent Rapunzel away, the fairy tied the cut-off hair to the hook at the top of the tower, and when the prince called out: Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair. she let down the hair.
The prince climbed up, but above, instead of his beloved Rapunzel, he found the sorceress, who peered at him with poisonous and evil looks.
"Aha!" she cried scornfully. "You have come for your Mistress Darling, but that beautiful bird is no longer sitting in her nest, nor is she singing any more. The cat got her, and will scratch your eyes out as well. You have lost Rapunzel. You will never see her again."
The prince was overcome with grief, and in his despair he threw himself from the tower. He escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell poked16 out his eyes. Blind, he wandered about in the forest, eating nothing but grass and roots, and doing nothing but weeping and wailing17 over the loss of his beloved wife. Thus he wandered about miserably for some years, finally happening into the wilderness where Rapunzel lived miserably with the twins that she had given birth to.
He heard a voice and thought it was familiar. He advanced toward it, and as he approached, Rapunzel recognized him, and crying, through her arms around his neck. Two of her tears fell into his eyes, and they became clear once again, and he could see as well as before. He led her into his kingdom, where he was received with joy, and for a long time they lived happily and satisfied.
从前有一个男人和一个女人，他俩一直想要个孩子，可总也得不到。最后，女人只好希望上帝能赐给她一个孩子。他们家的屋子后面有个小窗户，从那里可以看到一个美丽的花园，里面长满了奇花异草。可是，花园的周围有一道高墙，谁也不敢进去，因为那个花园属於一个女巫。这个女巫的法力非常大，世界上人人都怕她。一天，妻子站在窗口向花园望去，看到一块菜地上长着非常漂亮的莴苣。这些莴苣绿油油、水灵灵的，立刻就勾起了她的食欲，非常想吃它们。这种欲望与日俱增，而当知道自己无论如何也吃不到的时候，她变得非常憔悴，脸色苍白，痛苦不堪。她丈夫吓坏了，问她：「亲爱的，你哪里不舒服呀？「啊，她回答，「我要是吃不到我们家后面那个园子里的莴苣，我就会死掉的。丈夫因为非常爱她，便想：「与其说让妻子去死，不如给她弄些莴苣来，管它会发生甚么事情呢。黄昏时分，他翻过围墙，溜进了女巫的花园，飞快地拔了一把莴苣，带回来给她妻子吃。妻子立刻把莴苣做成色拉，狼吞虎嚥地吃了下去。这莴苣的味道真是太好了，第二天她想吃的莴苣居然比前一天多了两倍。为了满足妻子，丈夫只好决定再次翻进女巫的园子。於是，黄昏时分，他偷偷地溜进了园子，可他刚从墙上爬下来，就吓了一跳，因为他看到女巫就站在他的面前。「你好大的胆子，她怒气沖沖地说，「竟敢溜进我的园子来，像个贼一样偷我的莴苣！「唉，他回答，「可怜可怜我，饶了我吧。我是没办法才这样做的。我妻子从窗口看到了你园子中的莴苣，想吃得要命，吃不到就会死掉的。女巫听了之后气慢慢消了一些，对他说：「如果事情真像你说的这样，我可以让你随便采多少莴苣，但我有一个条件：你必须把你妻子将要生的孩子交给我。我会让她过得很好的，而且会像妈妈一样对待她。丈夫由於害怕，只好答应女巫的一切条件。妻子刚刚生下孩子，女巫就来了，给孩子取了个名字叫「莴苣，然后就把孩子带走了。
「莴苣慢慢长成了天底下最漂亮的女孩。孩子十二岁那年，女巫把她关进了一座高塔。这座高塔在森林里，既没有楼梯也没有门，只是在塔顶上有一个小小的窗户。每当女巫想进去，她就站在塔下叫道：
「莴苣，莴苣，
把你的头发垂下来。
莴苣姑娘长着一头金丝般浓密的长发。一听到女巫的叫声，她便松开她的发辫，把顶端绕在一个窗钩上，然后放下来二十公尺。女巫便顺着这长发爬上去。
一两年过去了。有一天，王子骑马路过森林，刚好经过这座塔。这时，他突然听到美妙的歌声，不由得停下来静静地听着。唱歌的正是莴苣姑娘，她在寂寞中只好靠唱歌来打发时光。王子想爬到塔顶上去见她，便四处找门，可怎么也没有找到。他回到了宫中，那歌声已经深深地打动了他，他每天都要骑马去森林里听。一天，他站在一棵树后，看到女巫来了，而且听到她冲着塔顶叫道：
「莴苣，莴苣，
把你的头发垂下来。
莴苣姑娘立刻垂下她的发辫，女巫顺着它爬了上去。王子想：「如果那就是让人爬上去的梯子，我也可以试试我的运气。第二天傍晚，他来到塔下叫道：
「莴苣，莴苣，
把你的头发垂下来。
头发立刻垂了下来，王子便顺着爬了上去。
莴苣姑娘看到爬上来的是一个男人时，真的大吃一惊，因为她还从来没有看到过男人。但是王子和蔼地跟她说话，说他的心如何如何被她的歌声打动，一刻也得不到安宁，非要来见她。莴苣姑娘慢慢地不再感到害怕，而当他问她愿不愿意嫁给他时，她见王子又年轻又英俊，便想：「这个人肯定会比那教母更喜欢我。她於是就答应了，并把手伸给王子。她说：「我非常愿意跟你一起走，可我不知道怎么下去。你每次来的时候都给我带一根丝线吧，我要用丝线编一个梯子。等到梯子编好了，我就爬下来，你就把我抱到你的马背上。因为老女巫总是在白天来，所以他俩商定让王子每天傍晚时来。女巫甚么也没有发现，直到有一天莴苣姑娘问她：「我问你，教母，我拉你的时候怎么总觉得你比那个年轻的王子重得多？他可是一下子就上来了。「啊！你这坏孩子！女巫嚷道，「你在说甚么？我还以为你与世隔绝了呢，却不想你竟然骗了我！她怒气沖沖地一把抓住莴苣姑娘漂亮的辫子，在左手上缠了两道，又用右手操起一把剪刀，喳喳喳几下，美丽的辫子便落在了地上。然后，她又狠心地把莴苣姑娘送到一片荒野中，让她淒惨痛苦地生活在那里。
莴苣姑娘被送走的当天，女巫把剪下来的辫子绑在塔顶的窗钩上。王子走来喊道：
「莴苣，莴苣，

A merchant had done well at the fair. He had sold all his wares1, and filled his moneybag with gold and silver. He now wanted to make his way toward home, and to be in his own house before nightfall. So he loaded his duffel bag with the money onto his horse, and rode away.
At noon made a rest stop in a town. When he was about to continue on his way, a servant brought him his horse and said, "Sir, a nail is missing from the shoe on his left hind2 hoof3."
"Let it be," answered the merchant. "The shoe will certainly stay on for the six hours that I still have to ride. I am in a hurry."
That afternoon, when he dismounted once again and had his horse fed, a servant came into the inn and said, "Sir, a shoe is missing from your horse's left hind hoof. Shall I take him to the blacksmith?"
"Let it be," answered the man. "The horse can manage for the few hours that I still have to ride. I am in a hurry."
He rode on, but before long the horse began to limp. It did not limp long before it began to stumble, and it did not stumble long before it fell down and broke a leg. The merchant had to leave the horse where it was, and unbuckle the duffel bag, load it onto his shoulder, and walk home on foot, not arriving there until very late that night.
"All this bad luck," he said to himself, "was caused by that cursed nail."
Haste makes waste.

双语童话范文4
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Once upon a time there was a king, who had a wife with golden hair, and she was so beautiful that her equal was not to be found anywhere on earth.
It happened that she fell ill, and when she felt that she was about to die, she called the king to her and said, "If you want to remarry after my death then do not take anyone who is not as beautiful as I am, and who does not have such golden hair as mine. That you must promise me."
After the king had promised her this, she closed her eyes and died.
For a long time the king could not be comforted, and he did not consider taking a second wife. Finally his councilors said, "There is no other way. The king must remarry, so that we will have a queen."
Then messengers were sent out far and wide to seek a bride, who in beauty was entirely1 the equal of the deceased queen. However, no such bride could be found in the whole world. And even if a bride this beautiful had been found, she would not have had such golden hair. Thus the messengers returned home without success.
Now the king had a daughter who was just as beautiful as her deceased mother, and who also had such golden hair. After she had come of age, the king looked at her one day that she resembled his deceased wife in every way, and he suddenly felt a great love for her.
Then he said to his councilors, "I will marry my daughter, for she is the image of my deceased wife, and nowhere else can I find a bride who is her equal."
When the councilors heard this they were horrified2 and said, "God has forbidden that a father should marry his daughter. Nothing good can come from sin, and the kingdom will be pulled along into ruin."
The daughter was even more horrified when she heard her father's decision. Hoping to dissuade3 him from his intentions, she said to him, "Before I fulfill4 your wish, I must have three dresses: one as golden as the sun, one as silver as the moon, and one that glistens5 like the stars. Further, I must have a cloak put together from a thousand kinds of pelts6 and fur. Every animal in your kingdom must contribute a piece of its skin for it."
Now she thought, "That will be entirely impossible for him to achieve, and in this way I will divert my father from his wicked thoughts."
But the king did not give in, and the most skilled maidens7 in his kingdom had to weave the three dresses, one as golden as the sun, one as silver as the moon, and one that glistened9 like the stars. And his huntsmen had to capture all the animals in his entire kingdom and take a piece of skin from each one. From these a cloak of a thousand kinds of fur was made.
Finally, when everything was finished, the king had the cloak brought to him. Spreading it out, he said, "Tomorrow is our wedding day."
When the king's daughter saw that there was no more hope to change her father's mind, she made the decision to run away. During the night, while everyone was asleep, she got up and took three things from among her valuables: a golden ring, a little golden spinning wheel, and a little golden reel. She put the three dresses from the sun, moon, and stars into a nutshell, put on the cloak of all kinds of fur, blackened her hands and face with soot10. Then surrendering herself to God, she set forth11. She walked the entire night until she came to a great forest. Being tired, she sat down in a hollow tree and fell asleep.
The sun came up, and she continued to sleep, and she was still asleep by broad daylight. Now it came to pass that the king who owned these woods was hunting in them. When his dogs approached the tree they sniffed12 then ran around it barking.
The king said to the huntsmen. "See what kind of wild animal is hiding there."
The huntsmen followed his command, and when they returned they said, "A strange animal, like none we have ever seen before, is lying in the hollow tree. There are a thousand kinds of fur on its skin. It is just lying there asleep."
The king said, "See if you can capture it alive, then tie it onto the cart and bring it along."
When the huntsmen took hold of the girl, she awoke. Filled with fear, she cried out, "I am a poor child who has been abandoned by her father and mother. Have pity on me and take me with you."
Then they said, "All-Kinds-of-Fur, you are good for the kitchen. Come with us. You can sweep up the ashes."
Thus they set her on the cart and drove her home to the royal castle. There they showed her a little cubbyhole under the stairs, where the light of day never entered, and said, "This is where you can live and sleep, you furry13 little animal."
Then she was sent to the kitchen, where she carried wood and water, tended the fire, plucked the poultry14, sorted vegetables, swept up the ashes, and did all the dirty work.
All-Kinds-of-Fur lived there miserable15 for a long time. Oh, you beautiful princess, what will become of you?
Now one day it happened that a banquet was being held in the castle, and she said to the cook, "May I go up for a little while and take a look? I will stand outside the door."
The cook answered, "Yes, go ahead. But you have to be back here in a half hour and carry out the ashes."
Then she took her oil lamp and went into her cubbyhole. Taking off her fur cloak, she washed the soot from her hands and face so that her full beauty again came to light. Then she opened the nut and took out her dress that glistened like the sun. And after she had done all this she went upstairs to the banquet. Everyone stepped out of her way, for no one knew her, and everyone thought that she was a princess.
The king approached her, reached his hand out to her, and danced with her, and thought in his heart, "My eyes have never before seen such beauty."
When the dance had ended, she curtsied, and while the king was looking around, she disappeared, and no one knew where she had gone. The guards who stood watch in front of the castle were called and questioned, but no one had seen her.
Now she had run back to her cubbyhole, quickly taken off her dress, blackened her hands and face, put on the fur cloak, and was once again All-Kinds-of-Fur.
After she had returned to the kitchen and was about to set to work and sweep up the ashes, the cook said, "That's enough until tomorrow. Make the king's soup for me, so I can have a look upstairs, but don't let a hair fall into it, or in the future there will nothing more for you to eat."
Then the cook went away, and All-Kinds-of-Fur made soup for the king. She made bread soup, and as good as she knew how. When it was done, she got her golden ring from the cubbyhole and placed it in the bowl that the soup was in.
When the dance was over, the king had his soup brought to him. He ate it, and it tasted so good to him, that he thought he had never eaten a better soup. But when he reached the bottom of the bowl, he saw a golden ring lying there, and he could not imagine how it had gotten there.
He ordered the cook to come before him. The cook was terrified when he heard this order, and he said to All-Kinds-of-Fur, "For sure you let a hair fall into the soup. If that's true, you'll get a beating."
When the cook came before the king he was asked who had cooked the soup, and he answered, "I cooked it."
The king said, "That is not true, for it was made in a different way, and much better than usual."
The cook answered, "I must confess that I did not cook it, it was the little furry animal."
The king said, "Go and have her come up here."
When All-Kinds-of-Fur arrived, the king asked, "Who are you."
"I am a poor child who no longer has a father or a mother."
He asked further, "What are you doing in my castle?"
She answered, "I am good for nothing, except having boots thrown at my head."
He asked further, "Where did you get the ring that was in the soup?"
She answered, "I do not know anything about the ring."
Thus the king could learn nothing, and he had to send her away again.
Some time later there was another banquet, and All-Kinds-of-Fur, as before, asked the cook for permission to have a look. He answered, "Yes, but come back in a half hour and cook the bread soup for the king that he likes so much."
She ran to her cubbyhole, quickly washed herself then took from the nut the dress that was as silver as the moon and put it on. Then she went upstairs and looked like a princess. The king came up to her and was delighted to see her again, and because a dance was just beginning, they danced together. But as soon as the dance was over she again disappeared so quickly that the king did not notice where she went.
She ran to her cubbyhole, turned herself back into a furry animal, and went to the kitchen to make the bread soup. While the cook was upstairs she got the golden spinning wheel and put it in the bowl, so that the soup was prepared on top of it. Then it was taken to the king, who ate it, and it tasted as good to him as the last time. He had the cook brought before him, who again had to confess that All-Kinds-of-Fur had made the soup. All-Kinds-of-Fur again came before the king, and she answered that she was only good for having boots thrown at her head, and that she knew nothing at all about the little golden spinning wheel.
When the king gave a banquet for the third time, everything happened as before. But this time the cook said, "You are a witch, you furry animal, always putting something in the soup that makes it very good and taste better to the king." But because she asked, he allowed her to look in on the ball at the appointed time.
This time she put on the dress that glistened like the stars, and thus clothed she stepped into the hall. The king danced again with the beautiful maiden8, thinking that she had never been so beautiful. And while he was dancing he placed a golden ring on her finger, without her noticing it. Further, he had ordered that this dance should last a long time. When it was over, he tried to keep hold of her by her hands, but she tore herself loose and jumped so quickly into the crowd that she disappeared before his eyes. She ran as fast as she could to her cubbyhole beneath the steps, but because she had stayed away too long, more than a half hour, she could not take off the beautiful dress, but instead just threw the fur cloak on over it. And in her haste she did not cover herself entirely with soot, and one finger remained white.
All-Kinds-of-Fur now ran into the kitchen, made the bread soup for the king, and while the cook was away, put the golden reel in it.
When the king found the reel at the bottom of his bowl had All-Kinds-of-Fur called before him. Catching16 sight of the white finger, he saw the ring that he had put on her while they were dancing. He seized her by the hand and held her fast. As she attempted to free herself and run away, her fur cloak opened a little, and the dress of stars glistened out. The king grabbed the cloak and tore it off. He golden hair appeared, and she stood there in full splendor17, no longer able to hide. And after she had wiped the soot and ashes from her face, she was more beautiful than anyone who had ever been seen on earth.
The king said, "You are my dear bride, and we shall never part."
Then their wedding was celebrated18, and they lived happily until they died. #p#
从前有个国王，他的妻子长着一头金发，她的美貌在世界上是绝无仅有的。可不幸的是她病倒了，而且很快就要死了。她将国王叫到跟前说：「如果你想在我死后再娶，答应我一定要娶一个和我一样美、一样有一头金发的女人。国王答应了，王后便闭上眼睛死了。
国王难过了很长时间，根本无心再娶。最后他的大臣们说：「不能再这样下去了，国王一定要再娶一个，我们也好有个王后。於是向四面八方派出使者，寻找和已故王后一样美丽的姑娘。可是全国都找遍了却没有找到，偶尔找到一个漂亮的，又没有王后那样的金发，使者们只好空手而归。
国王有个女儿，长得和母亲一模一样，而且也是一头金发，她一天一天长大了。国王看着她，觉得她无处不似已故的妻子，因而对她产生了强烈的爱。他对大臣们说：「我要娶我女儿，她就是我前妻的再现。我再也找不到有谁更像她了。大臣们大惊失色地说：「上帝是禁止父亲娶女儿的。犯这样的罪不会有好结果，而且整个国家都会遭殃的。
公主得知父亲的打算后更是震惊，可她希望能使父亲改变主意。於是她对父亲说：「在我答应你的要求之前，我必须得到三件衣服：一件像太阳那样金光闪耀、一件像月亮那样银光四溢、一件像星星那样明亮闪烁。除此以外，我还要一件斗篷，必须是用上千种不同动物的皮毛缝制的。你国度里的每一种动物都必须献上一块皮毛。公主想：「这些都是不可能办到的。这样就可以让父亲改变主意了。然而国王没有放弃，他吩咐手艺最巧的姑娘织那三件衣服……一件像太阳般闪耀、一件像月亮般流银、一件像星星般璀灿；他还吩咐最优秀的猎人去捕捉每一种动物，然后取其皮毛缝制千兽皮斗篷。等一切准备停当，国王叫人在公主面前展开斗篷，说：我们明天就举行婚礼。「公主一看没法让父亲回心转意，便决定远走他乡。晚上，当人们都睡熟之后，公主从珠宝盒里取出一个金戒指、一个金纺轮和一个金线轴，然后将阳光、月亮和星星三件衣服等物装进一只小匣子，用烟灰将手脚和脸涂得黑黑的，披上千兽皮斗篷出发了。她听天由命地走了一整夜，来到一座大森林里。她累极了，便爬进一个树洞睡着了。
太阳出来了，公主还没醒；中午了，她仍然熟睡着。这森林是一个国王的，那天他刚巧出来打猎，猎狗跑到树洞口嗅了又嗅，然后围着树汪汪「直叫。国王对跟来的猎手说：去看看是甚么野兽躲在那儿。「猎人去了之后回来说：有头奇怪的动物在树洞里睡觉，身上的皮是上千种兽皮拼起来的。我们以前还从没见过这种动物呢。「国王於是说：试试能不能活捉。如果能就捆好让我带回王宫去。「猎手抓住了公主，姑娘惊恐万状地喊道：我是个被父母遗弃的可怜的孩子，可怜可怜我，带我走吧。「猎手说：千皮兽，我看你在厨房里帮着扫扫炉灰还行。跟我来吧。「他们让公主上了马车，把她带回了王宫，指着楼梯底下一间不透光的衣帽间对她说：毛傢伙，你住在这儿吧。「从此公主被派到厨房扛柴火、挑水、扫炉膛灰、拔鸡鸭毛、拣菜、掏炉膛……，干各种又髒又累的活儿。千皮兽在那里度过了很长一段时间的悲惨生活。啊，美丽的公主，你现在都成甚么模样了！
然而有一天，宫里开宴会，公主对厨师说：能让我上楼看一看么？只在门外看看。「去吧。「厨师说，不过过半小时你得回来掏炉膛灰。「公主拿起油灯回到自己那间斗室，脱下毛斗篷，洗净脸上和手脚上的烟黑，她的美貌立刻大放光彩。她打开小匣子，拿出那件金光灿烂的衣服穿上，走进宴会大厅。人们纷纷给她让路，尽管没人认识她，可都觉得她有公主的气派。国王走过来，伸手邀请她跳舞，心想：我还从来没见过这么美丽的人呢！「一曲终了时，公主向国王行了个曲膝礼。等国王抬头再看时，公主已不知去向了。他召来站在宫门口的卫兵问，可谁都说没见过。公主跑回了那间斗室，迅速脱下衣服，把脸和手脚重新涂上黑烟灰，穿上毛斗篷来到厨房扫炉灰。厨师说：明早再扫炉灰吧，先给国王做一碗汤，我要上楼去看看。当心别把头发之类的髒东西掉进汤里，否则我罚你挨饿！「厨师走了，千皮兽为国王做了一碗麵包汤，这是她做得最好的一种，然后将她带来的金戒指放到汤里。
国王跳完舞，叫人把汤送去。他很爱喝那种汤，似乎以前从来没有喝过这么好味道的汤。喝到最后，他发现了那只金戒指，简直不敢相信。他命人去召厨师，厨师一听国王召见，吓得对千皮兽说：准是你把头发掉进汤里了。如果真是那样，我非狠狠揍你一顿不可。「他来到国王面前，国王问他汤是谁做的。厨师说：我做的。「国王又说：不对，汤的味道比以前好多了，而且做法不同。「厨师回答说：我承认汤的确不是我做的，是那个毛傢伙做的。「国王说：叫他来。「千皮兽来到国王面前，国王问：你是甚么人？「我是个没有父母的可怜姑娘。「国王又问：你在我宫里有甚么用？「她回答说：我的作用就是让人踢打。「国王接着问：汤里的金戒指哪里来的？「我不知道甚么金戒指。「国王一看甚么都问不出来，只好让她回去了。

Once upon a time there was a small girl who was strong willed and forward, and whenever her parents said anything to her, she disobeyed them. How could anything go well with her?
One day she said to her parents: "I have heard so much about Frau Trude. Someday I want to go to her place. People say such amazing things are seen there, and such strange things happen there, that I have become very curious.
Her parents strictly1 forbade her, saying: "Frau Trude is a wicked woman who commits godless acts. If you go there, you will no longer be our child.
But the girl paid no attention to her parents and went to Frau Trude's place anyway.
When she arrived there, Frau Trude asked: "Why are you so pale?"
"Oh," she answered, trembling all over, "I saw something that frightened me."
"What did you see?"
"I saw a black man on your steps."
"That was a charcoal2 burner."
"Then I saw a green man."
"That was a huntsman."
"Then I saw a blood-red man."
"That was a butcher."
"Oh, Frau Trude, it frightened me when I looked through your window and could not see you, but instead saw the devil with a head of fire."
"Aha!" she said. "So you saw the witch properly outfitted3. I have been waiting for you and wanting you for a long time. Light the way for me now!"
With that she turned to girl into a block of wood and threw it into the fire. When it was thoroughly4 aglow5 she sat down next to it, and warmed herself by it, saying: "It gives such a bright light!"

Once upon a time there was a prince who had a fiancée whom he loved very much. Once when he was sitting beside her very happily, news came that his father was deathly ill, and wanted to see him before he died.
Then he said to his beloved1, "I must now go and leave you. I give you a ring to remember me by. As soon as I am king, I will return and take you home with me."
Then he rode away, and when he reached his father, the latter was mortally ill and near death.
The king said to him, "My dearest son, I wanted to see you one more time before my end. Promise me to marry the woman of my choice," and he named a certain princess who was to become his wife.
The son was so grieved2 that without thinking he said, "Yes, dear father, your will shall be done."
Then the king closed his eyes and died.
After the son had been proclaimed3 king, and the period of mourning had passed, he had to keep the promise that he had given his father. He proposed4 marriage to the princess, and she was promised to him.
His first fiancée heard about this, and was so saddened by his faithlessness that she nearly died.
Then her father said to her, "Dearest child, why are you so sad? You shall have whatever you want."
She thought for a moment and then said, "Dear father, I want eleven girls exactly like myself in appearance, figure, and size."
The father said, "If it is possible, your wish shall be fulfilled," and he had his entire kingdom searched until eleven girls were found who were exactly like his daughter in appearance, figure, and size.
When they came to the princess, she had twelve huntsmen's outfits6 made, each one like the others. The eleven girls put on the huntsmen's outfits, and she herself put on the twelfth outfit5.
After this she took leave of her father, and rode away with them. They rode to the court of her former fiancé, whom she loved so dearly. There she asked if he needed any huntsmen, and if he would take all of them into his service. The king looked at her without recognizing her. Because they were such good-looking fellows, he said, yes, that he would willingly take them, and then they were the king's twelve huntsmen.
Now the king had a lion that was a miraculous7 animal, for he knew all hidden and secret things. It happened that one evening the lion said to the king, "You think that you have twelve huntsmen."
"Yes," said the king, "they are twelve huntsmen."
The lion continued, "You are mistaken. They are twelve girls."
The king said, "That is absolutely not true. How can you prove that to me?"
"Oh, just have some peas scattered8 in your antechamber," answered the lion, "and then you shall soon see. Men have a firm step, and when they walk over the peas, none of them will be moved. On the other hand, girls trip and skip and shuffle9 their feet, rolling the peas about."
The king liked this advise and had peas scattered on the floor.
Now one of the king's servants liked the huntsmen, and when he heard that they were going to be put to this test, he went to them and told them everything, saying, "The lion wants to make the king believe that you are girls."
The princess thanked him, then said to her girls, "Be strong, and step firmly on the peas."
The next morning the king had the twelve huntsmen called before him. When they came into the antechamber where the peas were lying, they stepped so firmly on them, and had such a strong, sure walk, that not one of the peas rolled or moved.
After they had gone, the king said to the lion, "You lied to me. They walk just like men."
The lion said, "They knew that were going to be put to a test, and acted like they were strong. Just have twelve spinning wheels brought into the antechamber. They will go up to them and admire them. No man would do that."
The king liked this advice, and he had the spinning wheels set up in the antechamber.
But the servant who was honest with the huntsmen went to them and told them about the proposal10.
So when they were alone, the princess said to her eleven girls, "Be strong and do not look around at the spinning wheels."
The next morning when the king had his twelve huntsmen summoned11, they walked through the antechamber without looking at the spinning wheels at all.
Then the king again said to the lion, "You lied to me. They are men, for they did not look at the spinning wheels."
The lion answered, "They knew that they were going to be put to a test, and acted like they were strong."
The king, however, refused to believe the lion anymore.
The twelve huntsmen always accompanied the king hunting, and the longer he knew them, the better he liked them. Now it happened that once when they were out hunting, news came that the king's bride was approaching. When the true bride heard this, it hurt her so much that it almost broke her heart, and she fainted and fell to the ground.
Thinking that something had happened to his dear huntsman, the king ran up to him in order to help him. Pulling the huntsman's glove off, he saw the ring that he had given to his first fiancée, and when he looked into her face, he recognized her. Then his heart was so touched that he kissed her, and when she opened her eyes he said, "You are mine, and I am yours, and no one in the world can change that."
He sent a messenger12 to the other bride, and asked her to return to her own kingdom, for, as he informed her, he already had a wife, and someone who had found an old key did not need a new one.
After this their wedding was celebrated13, and the lion was accepted back into favor, because, after all, he had told the truth.#p#
从前有个王子，有个未婚妻，他非常爱她。有一次，他正和姑娘高高兴兴在一起，传来国王病重的消息，并说国王想在死前再见王子一面。於是他对姑娘说：「我现在必须离开你。我给你一个戒指作纪念，等我当了国王就回来娶你。他骑上马走了。他来到父亲身边的时候，父亲已生命垂危，父亲对他说：「最亲爱的儿子，在我死前，我想见你一面。请你答应我按照我的意愿结婚。他还向他说明他应该娶某公主为妻。儿子十分悲痛，不加思索地答应说：「好的，亲爱的父亲，我一定照您的意志去做。不一会儿，国王就闭上眼睛去世了。
王子就此继承了王位。丧期过后，他按照对父亲的承诺，派人去向那位公主求婚，他的求婚被接受了。当他的第一个未婚妻听到这消息后，对他的不忠感到十分难过，几乎要气死了。父亲问她：「我最亲爱的孩子，你怎么这么悲伤？你要甚么我都会给你的。她想了想说：「亲爱的父亲，我要十一个和我的相貌、体态和身材都一模一样的姑娘。父亲说：「只要可能我就满足你的愿望。於是派人到全国各地找，直到找回十一个相貌、体态和身材都和他女儿一样的姑娘。
他们来到国王的女儿跟前，她早已要人做了十二套相同的猎装，让那十一个姑娘穿上，然后自己穿上最后那套。她告别父亲，和十一个姑娘骑着马来到她十分锺爱的未婚夫的宫殿前。她问他那里是否需要猎人，是否能让她们十二个人都在他宫里供职。国王没有认出来，看到他们都那么英俊，便说：「行。并表示他很愿意全部接纳他们。从此他们便成了国王十二个猎人。
国王有只神奇的狮子，能识破所有伪装的人和事物。有天晚上，狮子对国王说：「你以为你僱佣了十二个猎人是吗？「是啊，他们的确是十二个猎人。国王回答。可狮子接着说：「你错了，她们是十二个姑娘。「这怎么可能？你能证明吗？狮子回答说：「可以。只要你叫人在厅里撒些豌豆，你马上就可以看出来……男人脚步稳健，从豌豆上踩过去动都不会动；可女人脚步轻，一步一跳的，拖着步子，会踩得豆子到处乱滚。国王认为这办法不错，就让人去撒豌豆。
但是国王的一个仆人和猎人们很要好，当他听说要考验他们时，就去把他听到的告诉了猎人，而且说：「狮子想让国王相信你们是女的。
公主感谢他，然后对姑娘们说：「你们要装出有力气的样子，重重地踏在豆子上。第二天早上，国王叫十二个猎人来，於是她们来到撒了豌豆的前厅里。她们迈着稳健有力的步子，坚定地踏在豆子上，所以豆子一颗都没乱滚。她们走后，国王对狮子说：「你骗了我，他们和男人一样地走。狮子说：「有人已经告诉她们你要试验，所以使足了力气。你让人拿些纺车摆在前厅里，她们准会十分高兴地走过去。这是男人们不会感兴趣的东西。国王觉得这个建议很好，於是让人在前厅里摆了几部纺车。
