林    中    小    屋   

 从    前    在    一    片    偏    僻    的    森    林    边    上    有    个    小    木    屋   ， 里    面    住    着    一    个    贫    穷    的    樵    夫    和    他    的    女    人    以    及    三    个    女    儿   。 一    天    早    上   ， 樵    夫    去    砍    柴    前    对    女    人    说   ：" 今    天    叫    大    女    儿    到    森    林    中    给    我    送    午    饭   ， 不    然    我    的    活    就    干    不    完   。 为    了    使    她    不    迷    路   ， 我    会    带    一    袋    小    米   ， 沿    路    洒    在    地    上   。" 当    太    阳    正    照    在    森    林    的    上    空    时   ， 大    女    儿    上    路    了   ， 她    端    了    一    碗    汤   。 但    森    林    里    有    的    是    麻    雀   、 云    雀   、 燕    雀   、 画    眉    和    黄    雀   ， 它    们    早    就    把    小    米    啄    得    一    干    二    净    了   ， 大    女    儿    找    不    到    父    亲    所    留    的    路    径   ， 可    还    是    信    步    走    去   ， 走    啊    走   ， 一    直    走    到    太    阳    下    山   。 黑    夜    中    树    枝    哗    哗    作    响   ， 猫    头    鹰    毛    骨    悚    然    地    乱    叫   ， 大    女    儿    害    怕    极    了   。 这    时    她    看    到    了    不    远    处    树    丛    中    有    盏    灯    火    在    闪    动   ，" 那    儿    一    定    有    人    家   ， 他    们    定    会    留    我    过    夜    的   ，" 大    女    儿    心    里    想    着   ， 便    脚    步    不    停    地    朝    灯    光    走    去   ， 不    一    会    儿    功    夫   ， 她    就    来    到    了    房    子    前   ， 见    整    个    窗    户    被    映    得    通    明    透    亮   。 她    敲    了    敲    门   ， 里    面    传    来    了    一    声    粗    鲁    的    吼    声   ：" 进    来   ！" 大    女    儿    迈    进    了    黑    暗    的    过    道   ， 敲    了    敲    屋    里    的    房    门   。" 进    来    吧   ！" 那    声    音    嚷    道   。 大    女    儿    打    开    了    门   ， 看    见    一    个    白    发    苍    苍    的    老    人    正    坐    在    桌    旁   ， 双    手    托    着    腮   ， 白    花    花    的    胡    子    几    乎    拖    到    了    地   。 火    炉    旁    还    躺    着    三    只    动    物   ， 一    只    母    鸡   、 一    只    公    鸡    和    一    头    花    奶    牛   。 女    孩    告    诉    了    老    人    自    己    的    经    历   ， 并    请    求    在    此    过    夜   。 老    人    说   ：

" 漂    亮    的    小    母    鸡   ，

 威    武    的    小    公    鸡   ，

 肥    壮    的    花    奶    牛   ，

 你    们    意    下    如    何    呢   ？"

" 达    克    斯   。" 动    物    们    齐    声    叫    道   ， 那    意    思    准    是   ：" 我    们    大    伙    都    乐    意   。" 因    为    老    人    也    说   ：" 你    今    晚    可    以    在    这    儿    睡    觉    吃    饭   。 现    在    到    炉    边    给    大    伙    弄    点    吃    的    吧   ！" 女    孩    到    厨    房    里   ， 发    现    一    切    齐    全   ， 便    做    了    一    顿    丰    盛    的    晚    餐   ， 可    没    有    想    到    那    些    小    动    物   。 她    盛    了    满    满    的    一    盆    饭    端    到    桌    上   ， 在    老    人    的    身    旁    坐    下   ， 自    顾    自    地    吃    了    起    来   。 肚    子    填    饱    后   ， 女    孩    问    道   ：" 我    现    在    困    倦    了   ， 哪    里    可    以    弄    张    床    让    我    躺    下    来    美    美    地    睡    一    觉   ？" 只    听    动    物    们    答    道   ：

" 你    已    和    他    吃    了    饭   ，

 你    已    和    他    喝    过    汤   ，

 可    你    从    未    想    到    过    咱   ，

 你    自    个    去    找    张    睡    觉    的    床   。"

 老    人    说   ：" 上    楼    去    吧   ， 那    儿    的    房    间    内    有    两    张    床   。 把    铺    盖    给    抖    抖   ， 铺    上    白    床    单   ， 一    会    我    就    来    睡   。" 于    是    女    孩    上    了    楼   ， 她    抖    了    抖    床   ， 铺    上    一    张    干    净    的    床    单   ， 就    躺    在    那    床    上    睡    着    了   ， 连    老    人    都    没    等   。 过    了    一    会    儿   ， 白    发    老    人    上    来    了   ， 他    举    着    蜡    烛    仔    细    打    量    了    这    个    女    孩   ， 摇    了    摇    头   ， 看    到    她    已    睡    熟   ， 老    人    打    开    了    一    道    活    门   ， 将    女    孩    沉    入    了    地    窖    中   。

 那    天    樵    夫    很    晚    才    回    家   ， 一    进    门    就    指    责    女    人    让    他    在    林    子    里    饿    了    一    天   。" 这    可    不    怪    我   ，" 女    人    说   ，" 大    女    儿    早    就    提    着    饭    出    门    了   ， 她    准    是    迷    路    了   ， 明    天    肯    定    会    回    来    的   。" 第    二    天    樵    夫    天    不    亮    就    起    床    进    森    林    去    伐    木   ， 他    只    好    让    二    女    儿    给    他    送    饭   。" 这    次    我    要    带    一    袋    扁    豆   ， 豆    比    米    粒    要    大    些   ， 我    女    儿    会    看    得    更    清    楚   ， 不    会    迷    路   。" 很    快    午    饭    的    时    间    到    了   ， 于    是    二    女    儿    带    着    父    亲    的    饭    上    路    了   ， 可    小    扁    豆    一    粒    也    看    不    见   ， 森    林    中    的    鸟    儿    像    前    天    一    样    把    扁    豆    吃    得    精    光   ， 现    在    路    上    一    粒    都    不    剩    了   。 二    女    儿    在    大    森    林    中    转    来    转    去   ， 到    晚    上    她    也    来    到    了    老    人    的    屋    前   。 老    人    同    样    让    她    进    了    屋   ， 她    向    老    人    要    吃    的    和    一    张    床   。 白    胡    子    老    人    又    问    那    些    小    动    物   ：

" 漂    亮    的    小    母    鸡   ，

 威    武    的    小    公    鸡   ，

 肥    壮    的    花    奶    牛   ，

 你    们    意    下    如    何    呢   ？"

 动    物    们    又    一    次    齐    声    叫   " 达    克    斯   "。 接    下    来    发    生    的    一    切    均    和    前    一    天    一    样   ， 二    女    儿    做    了    顿    丰    盛    的    晚    餐   ， 同    老    人    一    起    吃    喝   ， 不    过    也    没    有    理    那    些    小    动    物   。 等    她    吃    完    喝    好   ， 就    要    老    人    给    她    个    睡    觉    的    地    方   ， 小    动    物    们    齐    声    答    道   ：

" 你    已    和    他    吃    了    饭   ，

 你    已    和    他    喝    过    汤   ，

 可    你    从    未    想    到    过    咱   ，

 你    自    个    去    找    张    睡    觉    的    床   。"

 白    胡    子    老    人    进    来    时   ， 小    女    孩    早    就    睡    熟    了   ， 老    人    看    了    看    她   ， 摇    了    摇    头   ， 也    把    她    放    入    地    窖    中   。

 第    三    天    早    上   ， 樵    夫    对    女    人    说   ：" 今    天    就    让    小    女    儿    给    我    送    饭    吧   ， 她    向    来    乖    巧    玲    俐   ， 不    像    她    姐    姐    在    林    子    里    面    黄    蜂    般    地    乱    转   ， 她    会    沿    着    正    道    走    的   。" 可    女    人    舍    不    得    小    女    儿   ， 只    听    她    说   ：" 难    道    连    我    最    爱    的    孩    子    也    要    失    去    吗   ？"" 放    心    吧   ！" 樵    夫    答    道   ，" 我    们    的    女    儿    不    会    迷    路    的   ， 她    是    那    样    的    聪    明    玲    俐   ， 加    之    我    会    沿    路    洒    上    些    豌    豆   。 豌    豆    比    扁    豆    大    得    多   ， 准    能    给    她    指    路   。" 可    小    女    儿    提    着    篮    子    出    来    时   ， 发    现    鸽    子    已    啄    走    了    所    有    的    豌    豆   ， 她    也    不    知    道    该    向    那    边    拐   。 她    难    过    极    了   ， 心    里    总    惦    记    着    父    亲    还    饿    着   ， 还    想    到    如    果    自    己    不    能    回    家   ， 母    亲    是    多    么    伤    心    啊   ！ 最    后    天    黑    时   ， 她    瞧    见    了    一    盏    灯   ， 于    是    她    也    来    到    了    那    座    屋    子    前   。 她    很    有    礼    貌    地    请    求    老    人    让    她    留    宿    过    夜   。 白    胡    子    老    人    又    一    次    问    他    的    小    动    物   ：

" 漂    亮    的    小    母    鸡   ，

 威    武    的    小    公    鸡   ，

 肥    壮    的    花    奶    牛   ，

 你    们    意    下    如    何    呢   ？"

" 达    克    斯   。" 动    物    们    齐    声    答    道   。 于    是    小    女    孩    就    走    到    了    动    物    们    躺    着    的    火    炉    旁   ， 她    轻    轻    地    抚    摸    着    公    鸡    和    母    鸡   ， 用    自    己    的    双    手    为    它    们    梳    理    光    洁    的    羽    毛   ， 又    拍    了    拍    奶    牛    的    双    角    间   。 然    后    她    又    按    老    人    的    意    思    做    了    顿    香    喷    喷    的    饭   ， 端    在    桌    上    摆    好   ， 心    想   ：" 我    可    不    能    只    顾    自    己    吃   ， 却    让    这    些    可    爱    的    小    家    伙    饿    肚    子   ， 外    面    可    吃    的    多    着    呢   ！ 我    还    是    先    给    它    们    弄    点    吃    的    吧   ！" 于    是    她    走    了    出    来   ， 找    了    些    大    麦    亲    自    拌    好    先    给    公    鸡    和    母    鸡    吃   ， 然    后    又    给    母    牛    抱    了    一    捆    新    鲜    的    草    料   。" 我    希    望    你    们    会    喜    欢    这    些    吃    的   ， 可    爱    的    小    家    伙   ，" 女    孩    说    道   ，" 如    果    口    渴    了   ， 就    来    喝    口    清    甜    的    水    吧   。" 说    完    她    又    提    来    一    桶    水   。 公    鸡    和    母    鸡    跳    到    桶    边   ， 把    头    伸    进    水    里   ， 然    后    昂    起    头   ， 像    鸟    儿    喝    水    一    样   ； 花    奶    牛    也    喝    了    一    大    口   。 动    物    们    吃    饱    后   ， 女    孩    在    老    人    的    身    边    坐    下   ， 用    老    人    吃    剩    的    东    西    填    饱    了    肚    子   。 过    了    一    会    儿   ， 公    鸡    和    母    鸡    便    将    头    埋    在    翅    膀    下   ， 母    牛    的    眼    睛    也    开    始    不    停    眨    巴    着    打    瞌    睡    了   。

 于    是    女    孩    就    问   ：" 我    们    不    该    去    睡    觉    吗   ？"

" 漂    亮    的    小    母    鸡   ，

 威    武    的    小    公    鸡   ，

 肥    壮    的    花    奶    牛   ，

 你    们    意    下    如    何    呢   ？"

 小    动    物    们    回    答    道   ：" 达    克    斯   。

 你    已    和    我    们    吃    了    饭   ，

 你    已    和    我    们    喝    过    汤   ，

 你    总    好    心    记    得    咱   ，

 愿    你    今    晚    睡    得    平    安   。"

 于    是    女    孩    上    了    楼   ， 抖    了    抖    二    张    羽    毛    床   ， 铺    好    了    新    床    单   ， 这    时    白    胡    子    老    人    进    来    了   ， 在    一    张    床    上    躺    下    来   ， 他    的    胡    子    一    直    拖    到    了    床    的    另    一    头   。 女    孩    也    躺    下    了   ， 她    先    做    了    祷    告   ， 这    才    进    入    了    梦    乡   。

 她    睡    得    沉    沉    的   ， 到    了    半    夜    却    被    房    子    里    的    一    阵    吵    声    给    弄    醒    了   。 房    内    各    处    都    在    砰    砰    着    响   ， 门    已    被    冲    开   ， 碰    在    了    墙    壁    上   ； 屋    梁    仿    佛    脱    了    接    头   ， 吱    呀    响    着   ， 就    像    楼    梯    塌    下    来    似    的   。 最    后    是    一    声    巨    响   ， 好    像    是    整    个    屋    顶    塌    陷    了   。 然    而    很    快    一    切    就    都    平    静    如    初   ， 女    孩    也    未    伤    一    根    毫    发   ， 她    静    静    地    躺    在    那    里   ， 很    快    又    进    入    了    梦    乡   。 清    晨    灿    烂    的    阳    光    普    照    着    大    地   ， 她    醒    了   ， 啊   ， 展    现    在    她    眼    前    的    是    怎    样    一    副    情    景    呀   ！ 她    正    躺    在    一    间    大    厅    里   ， 周    围    的    一    切    无    不    闪    耀    着    皇    宫    的    辉    煌   。 墙    壁    上    挂    着    一    张    绿    色    的    丝    绸   ， 上    面    一    朵    朵    金    色    的    花    儿    开    得    正    艳   ； 床    是    象    牙    做    的   ， 上    面    铺    着    红    色    天    鹅    绒   ； 紧    挨    床    边    摆    着    把    椅    子   ， 上    面    放    着    双    缀    满    珍    珠    的    拖    鞋   。 女    孩    以    为    自    己    在    梦    中   ， 这    时    三    个    衣    着    考    究    的    仆    人    走    了    过    来   ， 问    她    有    何    吩    咐   。" 你    们    只    管    去    吧   ， 我    要    马    上    起    床    为    老    人    做    早    餐   ， 我    还    要    去    喂    那    可    爱    的    母    鸡   、 公    鸡    和    奶    牛   。" 女    孩    答    道   。 她    还    以    为    老    人    已    经    起    床    了   ， 就    朝    他    的    床    望    去   ， 可    老    人    没    躺    在    那    里   ， 见    到    的    却    是    位    陌    生    人   。 她    端    详    着    他   ， 发    现    他    是    那    样    英    俊    潇    洒   。 他    醒    了   ， 说   ：" 我    是    一    位    王    子   ， 中    了    一    位    巫    师    的    魔    法   ， 变    成    了    一    个    满    头    银    发    的    老    人   ， 成    天    住    在    森    林    里   ， 谁    也    不    准    跟    我    在    一    起   ， 除    了    我    那    三    个    仆    人   ， 不    过    他    们    也    变    成    了    公    鸡   、 母    鸡    和    奶    牛   ， 直    到    有    位    心    地    善    良    的    姑    娘    来    到    我    们    中    间   ， 这    样    魔    法    就    可    消    除   。 这    位    姑    娘    不    仅    要    待    人    仁    慈   ， 对    动    物    也    要    怜    惜   ， 只    有    你    才    做    到    了    这    一    切   。 是    你    在    午    夜    时    分    使    我    们    获    得    了    自    由   ， 森    林    中    的    那    座    小    木    屋    也    变    成    了    我    原    来    的    王    宫   。" 说    完   ， 他    们    就    起    床    了   。 王    子    立    即    命    令    三    个    仆    人    去    把    女    孩    的    父    母    接    来   ， 参    加    他    们    的    婚    礼   。" 可    是    我    那    两    个    姐    姐    现    在    何    处    呢   ？" 女    孩    问    道   。" 我    把    她    们    关    在    地    窖    中   ， 明    天    她    们    就    会    被    带    到    森    林    中   ， 做    一    个    烧    炭    翁    的    使    女   ， 直    到    她    们    变    得    更    仁    慈   ， 不    再    让    动    物    们    饿    肚    子    为    止   。"
