丛    林    中    的    守    财    奴   

 一    个    农    场    主    有    一    个    忠    诚    的    仆    人   ， 这    个    仆    人    辛    辛    苦    苦    地    给    他    干    了    三    年    的    活   ， 而    他    却    没    有    给    仆    人    付    过    任    何    工    钱   。 最    后    仆    人    打    定    主    意   ， 如    果    农    场    主    再    不    付    给    他    工    钱   ， 他    就    不    再    干    下    去    了   。 他    找    到    农    场    主    说   ：" 我    为    你    勤    勤    恳    恳    地    做    了    这    么    久    的    事   ， 相    信    你    会    根    据    我    的    劳    动    付    给    我    应    得    的    工    钱   。" 农    场    主    是    一    个    极    其    吝    惜    的    守    财    奴   ， 他    知    道    这    个    仆    人    头    脑    非    常    简    单   ， 所    以   ， 只    拿    出    三    便    士    给    他   ， 也    就    是    一    年    一    便    士    的    工    钱   。 可    怜    的    仆    人    竟    以    为    这    是    一    笔    大    数    目    的    钱    财   ， 自    言    自    语    地    说   ：" 我    为    什    么    还    要    在    这    儿    拚    命    干    活   ， 还    要    在    生    活    这    么    差    的    地    方    待    下    去    呢   ？ 我    现    在    可    以    到    外    面    广    阔    的    世    界    里    去    游    玩   ， 去    寻    找    自    己    的    快    乐    呀   ！" 说    完   ， 他    把    钱    放    进    自    己    的    钱    袋    里   ， 离    开    了    农    庄   ， 开    始    了    他    的    漫    游    旅    程   。

 一    天   ， 当    他    翻    过    山    岭   ， 独    自    又    唱    又    跳    地    走    在    一    片    田    野    上    时   ， 他    遇    到    了    一    个    小    矮    人   。 小    矮    人    问    他    是    什    么    事    使    得    他    这    么    高    兴    愉    快   ， 他    回    答    说   ：" 嗨   ！ 为    什    么    要    愁    眉    苦    脸    呢   ？ 我    身    体    健    康   ， 口    袋    里    有    我    三    年    储    蓄    的    一    大    笔    工    钱   ， 还    有    什    么    好    担    心    的    呢   ？" 小    矮    人    说    道   ：" 到    底    有    多    少    钱    呀   ？" 仆    人    回    答    道   ：" 整    整    三    便    士   。" 小    矮    人    试    探    道   ：" 我    太    穷    困    了   ， 真    希    望    你    能    把    那    些    钱    给    我   。" 仆    人    心    地    很    善    良   ， 看    到    他    个    子    这    么    矮   ， 的    确    是    个    贫    困    的    样    子   ， 对    他    很    同    情   ， 就    把    自    己    的    钱    都    给    了    他   。 作    为    回    报   ， 小    矮    人    对    他    说   ：" 你    有    这    么    一    颗    善    良    的    心   ， 我    将    满    足    你    三    个    愿    望   -- 一    便    士    一    个   ， 你    喜    欢    什    么    就    选    择    什    么   。" 仆    人    很    高    兴    自    己    交    上    了    好    运   ， 说    道   ：" 我    喜    欢    的    东    西    很    多   ， 但    并    不    是    钱   。 第    一   ， 我    要    一    张    弓   ， 用    这    张    弓   ， 任    何    被    我    瞄    准    的    东    西    都    会    掉    下    来   ； 第    二   ， 我    要    一    架    小    提    琴   ， 当    我    演    奏    时   ， 每    个    听    到    琴    声    的    人    都    会    跳    起    舞    来   ； 第    三   ， 我    希    望    每    个    人    都    会    满    足    我    提    出    的    要    求   。" 小    矮    人    说    他    就    会    有    他    希    望    的    东    西   ， 说    完   ， 就    像    变    戏    法    似    地    拿    出    一    副    弓    箭    和    一    架    小    提    琴    给    了    他   ， 然    后    就    不    见    了   。

 诚    实    的    仆    人    怀    着    惊    奇    而    又    兴    奋    的    心    情    上    路    了   。 要    是    说    他    前    一    阵    子    是    十    分    快    乐    的    话   ， 那    他    现    在    可    以    说    是    一    百    分    的    快    乐   ， 他    唱    得    比    刚    才    更    欢   ， 跳    得    更    起    劲    了   。 不    久   ， 他    遇    见    了    一    个    老    守    财    奴   ， 在    他    们    相    遇    的    地    方    有    一    棵    树   ， 树    梢    的    嫩    枝    上    站    着    一    只    鸟    儿   ， 鸟    儿    叫    得    正    欢   。 守    财    奴    说    道   ：" 哟   ！ 多    么    漂    亮    的    鸟    啊   ！ 要    是    能    买    到    这    样    一    只    鸟   ， 花    多    少    钱    我    也    愿    意   。" 仆    人    听    见    后    说    道   ：" 如    果    真    是    这    样   ， 我    很    快    就    会    要    它    下    来   。" 说    罢   ， 他    举    起    他    的    弓   ， 望    上    瞄    准   ， 那    鸟    儿    马    上    掉    下    来    落    进    了    树    下    的    灌    木    丛    中   。 守    财    奴    一    见   ， 也    不    谈    钱    的    事   ， 马    上    爬    进    树    丛    中    去    找    鸟    儿   ， 但    他    刚    刚    爬    到    里    面    时   ， 仆    人    拿    起    小    提    琴    拉    了    起    来   。 随    着    琴    声    的    传    出   ， 守    财    奴    开    始    跳    起    舞    来   ， 他    在    树    丛    中    跳    来    跳    去   ， 越    跳    越    高   ， 树    丛    中    的    荆    棘    很    快    就    钩    破    了    他    的    衣    裳   ， 使    他    浑    身    的    衣    裳    都    成    了    破    布    条   ， 身    上    也    被    划    破   ， 伤    痕    累    累   ， 鲜    血    淋    漓   。 守    财    奴    哭    道   ：" 哎    哟   ！ 看    在    上    帝    的    份    上   ！ 大    师   ， 大    师    呀   ！ 请    别    再    拉    小    提    琴    了   ， 我    做    了    什    么    要    遭    受    这    份    罪    啊   ？" 仆    人    说    道   ：" 你    吝    啬    小    气   ， 剥    削    了    许    许    多    多    的    贫    穷    人    们   ， 这    只    是    你    得    到    的    报    应   。" 说    完   ， 他    拉    起    了    另    一    首    曲    子   。 守    财    奴    开    始    哀    求    他   ， 答    应    给    他    钱   ， 让    他    能    停    止    跳    舞   、 爬    出    树    丛   。 但    他    却    又    不    肯    多    给    钱   。 仆    人    就    把    琴    声    拉    得    更    响    了   ， 守    财    奴    跟    着    跳    得    越    来    越    剧    烈   ， 出    的    钱    也    越    来    越    多   ， 最    后    他    答    应    把    钱    袋    里    的    整    整    一    百    个    金    币    都    给    仆    人   ， 这    些    金    币    都    是    他    刚    刚    从    穷    人    那    儿    榨    取    来    的   。 当    仆    人    看    到    这    么    多    钱   ， 说    道   ：" 我    就    同    意    你    的    请    求    了   。" 于    是   ， 他    拿    起    钱    袋   ， 收    好    提    琴   ， 高    高    兴    兴    地    又    踏    上    了    旅    途   。

 仆    人    一    走   ， 守    财    奴    慢    慢    地    从    树    丛    中    爬    了    出    来   ， 他    浑    身    衣    不    遮    体   ， 一    副    凄    凄    惨    惨    的    样    子   ， 不    禁    愤    恨    不    已   ， 开    始    考    虑    起    怎    样    进    行    报    复    来   ， 他    要    用    奸    计    来    对    付    仆    人   。 最    后    他    跑    到    法    官    那    里   ， 控    告    说    有    一    个    恶    棍    强    迫    他    进    行    交    易   ， 骗    抢    了    他    的    钱    财   ， 这    个    家    伙    的    背    后    挂    着    一    张    弓   ， 脖    子    上    挎    着    一    架    小    提    琴   。 法    官    听    了   ， 派    出    巡    警    到    处    去    找   ， 说    不    管    在    哪    里    找    到    都    要    把    他    带    到    法    庭    来   。 巡    警    们    不    久    就    抓    到    了    这    个    仆    人   ， 并    把    他    带    到    了    法    庭   ， 要    对    他    进    行    审    判   。

 守    财    奴    开    始    了    他    的    控    告   ， 说    仆    人    骗    抢    了    他    的    钱    财   。 仆    人    分    辩    说   ：" 不    是    这    样   ， 事    实    是    我    为    你    演    奏    一    首    曲    子    后    你    给    我    的    报    酬   。" 但    是    法    官    说    这    是    不    可    能    的    事    情   ， 驳    回    了    仆    人    的    辩    护    词   ， 判    了    他    绞    刑   ， 草    草    地    将    这    个    案    子    结    了   。

 仆    人    被    带    了    出    去   ， 但    当    他    站    在    绞    刑    架    台    子    上    时   ， 他    说    道   ：" 法    官    大    人   ， 请    答    应    我    最    后    一    个    心    愿   。" 法    官    回    答    说   ：" 只    要    你    的    要    求    不    是    赦    免    你   ， 我    都    可    以    答    应   。"" 我    不    是    要    求    你    赦    免    我   ， 只    是    想    请    你    允    许    我    最    后    演    奏    一    次    小    提    琴   。" 守    财    奴    一    听   ， 大    叫    道   ：" 啊   ， 不   ！ 不   ！ 看    在    上    帝    的    份    上   ， 千    万    不    要    听    他    演    奏   ！ 千    万    不    要    让    他    演    奏   ！" 法    官    却    说    道   ：" 就    让    他    演    奏    吧   ， 他    很    快    就    会    演    奏    完    的   。" 其    实   ， 这    完    全    是    小    矮    人    送    给    他    的    第    三    件    礼    物   ， 没    有    人    能    够    拒    绝    他    的    要    求   。

 这    时   ， 守    财    奴    叫    道   ：" 快    把    我    捆    起    来   ， 快    把    我    捆    起    来   ！ 我    不    想    再    遭    受    这    种    痛    苦   。" 但    仆    人    已    经    拿    好    了    小    提    琴   ， 开    始    奏    响    了    曲    子   。 当    琴    发    出    第    一    声    音    调    时   ， 法    官   、 书    记    员    和    监    管    人    以    及    所    有    的    人    都    开    始    摆    动    起    来   ， 此    时    已    没    有    人    能    够    去    捆    那    个    守    财    奴    了   。 第    二    声    音    调    传    来   ， 行    刑    的    人    放    开    仆    人   ， 也    跳    了    起    来   。 到    他    奏    完    曲    子    的    第    一    小    节   ， 所    有    的    人   -- 法    官   、 法    庭    理    事    和    守    财    奴   ， 包    括    所    有    的    旁    观    者   -- 都    一    同    跳    起    舞    来   ， 开    始    他    们    跳    得    很    愉    快   ， 很    兴    奋   ， 但    不    一    会    儿    就    累    坏    了   。 演    奏    没    停    下    来   ， 他    们    跳    舞    也    不    能    停    下    来   。 他    们    开    始    叫    喊   ， 开    始    乞    求    他    不    要    再    拉    琴    了   ， 但    他    对    他    们    的    乞    求    置    若    罔    闻   ， 一    刻    也    没    有    停    止   ， 一    直    到    法    官    不    仅    赦    免    了    他    的    死    罪   ， 而    且    还    答    应    把    那    一    百    块    金    币    归    还    给    他   ， 他    才    放    下    小    提    琴   。

 接    着   ， 他    叫    住    守    财    奴    说   ：" 现    在    告    诉    大    家   ， 你    这    个    流    氓   ， 无    赖   ， 你    在    哪    儿    得    来    的    这    些    金    币   ？ 不    然    的    话   ， 我    就    只    拿    你    一    个    人    来    消    遣   。" 说    罢    又    把    小    提    琴    拿    了    起    来   ， 守    财    奴    吓    坏    了   ， 只    好    当    着    大    家    的    面    承    认    说   ：" 我    是    侵    吞    得    来    的   ， 我    承    认    都    是    巧    取    豪    夺    得    来    的   。 你    是    公    平    合    理    挣    得    的   。" 仆    人    放    下    小    提    琴   ， 走    下    了    绞    刑    架   ， 守    财    奴    则    被    推    了    上    去   ， 取    代    了    仆    人    的    位    置   。
