森    林    中    的    三    个    小    矮    人   

 从    前   ， 有    个    男    人    死    了    妻    子   ， 有    个    女    人    死    了    丈    夫   。 这    个    男    人    有    个    女    儿   ， 这    个    女    人    也    有    个    女    儿   。 两    个    小    姑    娘    互    相    认    识   ， 经    常    一    起    出    去    散    步   。 有    一    天   ， 她    们    散    完    步    后    一    起    来    到    女    人    的    家    里   ， 女    人    对    男    人    的    女    儿    说   ：" 听    着   ， 告    诉    你    爸    爸   ， 说    我    愿    意    嫁    给    他   ， 从    此    你    天    天    早    晨    都    能    用    牛    奶    洗    脸   ， 还    能    喝    上    葡    萄    酒   ， 而    我    自    己    的    女    儿    只    能    用    水    洗    脸   ， 也    只    能    喝    清    水   。" 小    姑    娘    回    到    家    中   ， 把    女    人    的    话    告    诉    了    她    爸    爸   。 男    人    说   ：" 我    该    怎    么    办    呢   ？ 结    婚    是    喜    事   ， 可    也    会    带    来    痛    苦   。" 他    迟    迟    拿    不    定    主    意   ， 最    后    脱    下    一    只    靴    子   ， 说   ：" 这    只    靴    子    的    底    上    有    个    洞   。 你    把    它    拎    到    阁    楼    上    去   ， 把    它    挂    在    一    根    大    钉    子    上   ， 然    后    往    里    面    灌    些    水   。 要    是    水    没    有    漏    出    来   ， 我    就    再    娶    个    妻    子   ； 可    要    是    水    漏    了    出    来   ， 我    就    不    娶   。" 姑    娘    按    她    父    亲    所    说    的    办    了   。 可    是    水    使    得    洞    胀    拢    了   ， 靴    子    里    灌    满    了    水    也    没    有    漏    出    来   。 她    把    结    果    告    诉    了    她    父    亲   ， 父    亲    又    亲    自    上    来    察    看   ， 看    到    情    况    果    然    如    此   ， 便    去    向    那    寡    妇    求    婚   ， 然    后    举    行    了    婚    礼   。

 第    一    天    早    晨   ， 两    个    姑    娘    起    来    后   ， 在    男    人    的    女    儿    的    面    前    果    然    放    着    洗    脸    的    牛    奶    和    喝    的    葡    萄    酒   ， 而    在    女    人    的    女    儿    的    面    前    放    着    的    只    有    洗    脸    的    清    水    和    喝    的    清    水   。 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 男    人    的    女    儿    和    女    人    的    女    儿    的    面    前    都    放    着    洗    脸    的    清    水    和    喝    的    清    水   。 到    了    第    三    天    早    晨   ， 男    人    的    女    儿    的    面    前    放    着    洗    脸    用    的    清    水    和    喝    的    清    水   ， 而    女    人    的    女    儿    的    面    前    却    放    着    洗    脸    用    的    牛    奶    和    喝    的    葡    萄    酒   。 以    后    天    天    都    是    这    样   。 那    女    人    成    了    她    继    女    的    死    敌   ， 对    她    一    天    坏    似    一    天   ， 她    还    万    分    嫉    妒    她    的    继    女   ， 因    为    她    的    继    女    美    丽    可    爱   ， 而    她    自    己    的    女    儿    又    丑    又    令    人    讨    厌   。

 冬    天    到    了   ， 一    切    都    冻    得    像    石    头    一    样    硬   ， 山    顶    和    山    谷    都    被    大    雪    覆    盖    着   。 一    天   ， 女    人    用    纸    做    了    件    衣    服   ， 把    她    的    继    女    叫    过    来   ， 说   ：" 听    着   ， 你    穿    上    这    件    衣    服   ， 到    森    林    里    去    给    我    采    一    篮    草    莓   ， 我    很    想    吃   。"" 天    哪   ！" 姑    娘    说   ，" 冬    天    怎    么    会    有    草    莓    呢   ？ 地    上    都    结    了    冰   ， 大    雪    把    一    切    都    盖    住    了   ， 再    说   ， 我    怎    么    能    穿    着    这    身    纸    衣    服    出    去    呢   ？ 外    面    冷    得    连    呼    出    的    气    都    能    冻    起    来   。 风    会    往    这    衣    服    里    面    吹   ， 荆    棘    也    会    把    它    挂    破    的   。"" 你    敢    跟    我    顶    嘴   ？" 继    母    说   ，" 你    快    给    我    去   ！ 要    是    没    有    采    到    一    篮    草    莓   ， 你    就    别    想    回    来   ！" 然    后    她    又    给    姑    娘    一    小    块    硬    梆    梆    的    面    包   ， 说   ：" 这    是    你    一    天    的    口    粮   ，" 心    里    却    在    想   ：" 你    在    外    面    不    会    冻    死    也    会    饿    死    的   ， 别    想    再    回    来    烦    我   。"

 姑    娘    只    好    顺    从    地    穿    上    纸    衣    服   ， 提    着    篮    子    走    了    出    去   。 外    面    一    片    冰    天    雪    地   ， 连    一    棵    绿    草    都    找    不    到   。 她    来    到    森    林    里    后   ， 看    到    一    座    小    房    子   ， 里    面    有    三    个    小    矮    人    在    向    外    张    望   。 她    向    他    们    问    好   ， 然    后    轻    轻    地    敲    了    敲    门   。 他    们    叫   " 进    来   "， 她    便    走    进    屋   ， 坐    在    炉    子    旁    的    长    凳    上    烤    火   ， 吃    她    的    早    饭   。 小    矮    人    们    说   ：" 也    分    一    点    给    我    们    吧   。"" 好    的   ，" 她    说    着    便    把    面    包    掰    成    两    半   ， 给    了    他    们    一    半   。 他    们    问   ：" 你    大    冬    天    穿    着    这    身    薄    薄    的    衣    服    到    森    林    里    来    干    吗   ？"" 唉   ，" 她    回    答   ，" 我    得    采    一    篮    草    莓   ， 否    则    我    就    回    不    了    家    了   。" 等    她    吃    完    面    包    后   ， 他    们    递    给    她    一    把    扫    帚   ， 说   ：" 去    帮    我    们    把    后    门    的    雪    扫    掉    吧   。" 可    等    她    出    去    后   ， 三    个    小    矮    人    却    商    量    了    起    来   ：" 她    这    么    可    爱   ， 又    把    面    包    分    给    了    我    们   ， 我    们    送    她    什    么    好    呢   ？" 第    一    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    送    给    她    的    礼    物    是   ： 她    一    天    比    一    天    更    美    丽   。" 第    二    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    送    给    她    的    礼    物    是   ： 她    一    开    口    说    话    就    吐    出    金    子    来   。" 第    三    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    送    给    她    的    礼    物    是   ： 一    个    国    王    娶    她    当    王    后   。"

 姑    娘    这    时    正    按    照    他    们    的    吩    咐   ， 用    扫    帚    把    小    屋    后    面    的    雪    扫    掉   。 她    看    到    了    什    么   ？ 雪    下    面    露    出    了    红    彤    彤    的    草    莓   ！ 她    高    兴    极    了   ， 赶    紧    装    了    满    满    一    篮    子   ， 谢    了    小    矮    人   ， 还    和    他    们    一    一    握    手    道    别   ， 然    后    带    着    她    继    母    垂    涎    的    东    西    跑    回    家    去    了   。 谁    知   ， 她    进    门    刚    说    了    声   " 晚    上    好   "， 嘴    里    就    掉    出    来    一    块    金    子   ！ 于    是   ， 她    把    自    己    在    森    林    里    遇    到    的    事    情    讲    了    出    来   ， 而    且    每    讲    一    句   ， 嘴    里    就    掉    出    来    一    块    金    子   ， 弄    得    家    里    很    快    就    堆    满    了    金    子   。" 瞧    她    那    副    德    行   ！" 继    母    的    女    儿    嚷    道   ，" 就    这    样    乱    扔    金    子   ！" 她    心    里    嫉    妒    得    要    命   ， 也    渴    望    着    到    森    林    里    去    采    草    莓   。 她    母    亲    却    说   ：" 不    行   ， 我    的    好    女    儿   ， 外    面    太    冷    了   ， 你    会    冻    死    的   。" 可    是    她    女    儿    缠    着    不    放   ， 她    最    后    只    好    让    步   。 她    给    女    儿    缝    了    件    皮    袄   ， 硬    要    她    穿    上   ； 然    后    又    给    她    抹    了    黄    油    的    面    包    和    蛋    糕   ， 让    她    带    着    路    上    吃   。

 这    个    姑    娘    进    了    森    林    之    后   ， 径    直    向    小    屋    走    去   。 三    个    小    矮    人    又    在    屋    里    向    外    张    望   ， 可    是    她    根    本    不    和    他    们    打    招    呼   ， 既    不    看    他    们   ， 也    不    和    他    们    说    话   ， 大    摇    大    摆    地    走    进    屋   ， 一    屁    股    坐    到    炉    子    旁   ， 吃    起    自    己    的    面    包    和    蛋    糕    来   。" 分    一    点    给    我    们    吧   ，" 小    矮    人    们    说   ； 可    是    她    却    回    答   ：" 这    都    不    够    我    自    己    吃    的   ， 怎    么    能    分    给    别    人    呢   ？" 等    她    吃    完   ， 他    们    又    说   ：" 这    里    有    把    扫    帚   ， 把    后    门    的    雪    扫    干    净   。" 她    回    答   ：" 我    又    不    是    你    们    的    佣    人   。" 看    到    他    们    不    会    给    她    任    何    礼    物    了   ， 她    便    自    己    冲    出    了    屋    子   。 三    个    小    矮    人    商    量    道   ：" 像    她    这    种    坏    心    肠    的    小    懒    鬼   ， 又    不    肯    施    舍    给    别    人    东    西   ， 我    们    该    送    她    什    么    呢   ？" 第    一    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    让    她    长    得    一    天    比    一    天    丑   ！" 第    二    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    让    她    一    开    口    说    话    就    从    嘴    里    跳    出    一    只    癞    蛤    蟆   ！" 第    三    个    矮    人    说   ：" 我    让    她    不    得    好    死   ！" 姑    娘    在    屋    外    找    草    莓   ， 可    一    个    也    找    不    到   ， 只    好    气    鼓    鼓    地    回    家    去    了   。 她    开    口    给    母    亲    讲    自    己    在    森    林    里    的    遭    遇   ， 可    是   ， 她    每    讲    一    句    话   ， 嘴    里    就    跳    出    来    一    只    癞    蛤    蟆   ， 把    大    家    都    吓    坏    了   。

 这    一    来    继    母    更    是    气    坏    了   ， 千    方    百    计    地    盘    算    着    怎    么    折    磨    丈    夫    的    女    儿   ， 可    是    这    姑    娘    却    长    得    一    天    比    一    天    更    美   。 终    于   ， 继    母    取    出    一    只    锅    子   ， 架    在    火    堆    上   ， 在    里    面    煮    线    团   。 线    团    煮    过    之    后   ， 她    把    它    捞    出    来   ， 搭    在    姑    娘    的    肩    膀    上   ， 然    后    又    给    姑    娘    一    把    斧    头   ， 让    她    去    结    冰    的    小    河   ， 在    冰    面    上    凿    一    个    洞   ， 在    洞    里    漂    洗    线    团   。 姑    娘    顺    从    地    来    到    河    边   ， 走    到    河    中    央    凿    冰   。 她    正    凿    着   ， 岸    上    驶    来    了    一    辆    华    丽    的    马    车   ， 里    面    坐    着    国    王   。 马    车    停    了    下    来   ， 国    王    问   ：" 姑    娘   ， 你    是    谁   ？ 在    这    里    干    什    么   ？"" 我    是    个    可    怜    的    女    孩   ， 在    这    里    漂    洗    线    团   。" 国    王    很    同    情    她   ， 而    且    又    看    到    她    长    得    这    么    美    丽   ， 便    对    她    说   ：" 你    愿    意    和    我    一    起    走    吗   ？"" 当    然    愿    意    啦   。" 她    回    答   ， 因    为    她    非    常    高    兴    能    离    开    继    母    和    继    母    的    女    儿   。 姑    娘    坐    到    国    王    的    马    车    上   ， 和    国    王    一    起    回    到    宫    中   。 他    俩    立    刻    就    举    行    了    婚    礼   ， 正    像    三    个    小    矮    人    许    诺    过    的    一    样   。 一    年    后   ， 年    轻    的    王    后    生    下    了    一    个    儿    子   。 她    的    继    母    早    已    听    说    她    交    上    了    好    运   ， 这    时    也    带    着    亲    生    女    儿    来    到    王    宫   ， 假    装    是    来    看    王    后    的   。 可    是    看    到    国    王    刚    出    去   ， 而    且    旁    边    又    没    有    别    人   ， 这    坏    心    肠    的    女    人    就    抓    住    王    后    的    头   ， 她    的    女    儿    抓    住    王    后    的    脚   ， 把    她    从    床    上    抬    下    来   ， 从    窗    口    把    她    扔    进    了    外    面    的    大    河    里   。 然    后   ， 继    母    的    丑    女    儿    躺    在    床    上   ， 老    婆    子    从    头    到    脚    把    她    盖    了    起    来   。 当    国    王    回    到    房    间   ， 想    和    他    的    妻    子    说    话    的    时    候   ， 老    婆    子    叫    了    起    来   ：" 嘘   ， 唬   ， 不    要    打    搅    她   ， 她    现    在    正    在    发    汗   。 今    天    不    要    打    搅    她   。" 国    王    丝    毫    没    有    怀    疑   ， 一    直    等    到    第    二    天    早    晨    才    过    来   。 他    和    妻    子    说    话   ， 谁    知    她    刚    开    口   ， 嘴    里    就    跳    出    来    一    只    癞    蛤    蟆   ， 而    不    像    从    前    那    样    掉    出    金    子    来   。 国    王    问    这    是    怎    么    回    事   ， 老    婆    子    便    说    这    是    发    汗    发    出    来    的   ， 很    快    就    会    好    的   。 但    是    当    天    夜    里   ， 王    宫    里    的    小    帮    工    看    见    一    只    鸭    子    从    下    水    道    里    游    了    出    来   ， 而    且    听    见    它    说   ：

" 国    王   ， 你    在    做    什    么   ？

 你    是    睡    着    了    还    是    醒    着   ？"

 看    到    小    帮    工    没    有    回    答   ， 它    又    说   ：

" 我    的    两    位    客    人    在    做    什    么   ？"

 小    帮    工    说   ：

" 她    们    睡    熟    了   。"

 鸭    子    又    问   ：

" 我    的    小    宝    宝    在    做    什    么   ？"

 小    帮    工    回    答   ：

" 他    在    摇    篮    里    睡    得    好    好    的   。"

 鸭    子    变    成    了    王    后    的    模    样   ， 上    去    给    孩    子    喂    奶   ， 摇    着    他    的    小    床   ， 给    他    盖    好    被    子   ， 然    后    又    变    成    鸭    子   ， 从    下    水    道    游    走    了   。 她    这    样    一    连    来    了    两    个    晚    上   ， 第    三    天    晚    上   ， 她    对    小    帮    工    说   ：" 你    去    告    诉    国    王   ， 让    他    带    上    他    的    宝    剑   ， 站    在    门    槛    上   ， 在    我    的    头    上    挥    舞    三    下   。" 小    帮    工    赶    紧    跑    去    告    诉    国    王   ， 国    王    提    着    宝    剑    来    了   ， 在    那    幽    灵    的    头    顶    上    挥    舞    了    三    下   。 他    刚    舞    到    第    三    下   ， 她    的    妻    子    就    站    在    了    他    的    面    前   ， 像    以    前    一    样    健    康    强    壮   。 国    王    高    兴    极    了   ， 可    他    仍    然    把    王    后    藏    进    密    室   ， 等    着    礼    拜    天    婴    儿    受    洗    的    日    子    到    来   。 洗    礼    结    束    之    后   ， 他    说   ：" 要    是    有    人    把    别    人    从    床    上    拖    下    来   ， 并    且    扔    进    河    里   ， 这    个    人    该    受    到    什    么    样    的    惩    罚   ？" 老    婆    子    说   ：" 对    这    样    坏    心    肠    的    人   ， 最    好    的    惩    罚    是    把    他    装    进    里    面    插    满    了    钉    子    的    木    桶   ， 从    山    坡    上    滚    到    河    里    去   。"" 那    么   ，" 国    王    说   ，" 你    已    经    为    自    己    做    出    了    判    决   。" 国    王    命    令    搬    来    一    只    这    样    的    木    桶   ， 把    老    婆    子    和    她    的    女    儿    装    进    去   ， 并    且    把    桶    盖    钉    死   ， 把    桶    从    山    坡    上    滚    了    下    去   ， 一    直    滚    到    河    心   。
