铁    炉   

 在    希    望    还    有    用    处    的    时    代   ， 一    位    王    子    被    一    位    老    巫    婆    施    了    法   ， 困    在    森    林    中    的    一    个    大    铁    炉    里   。 许    多    年    过    去    了   ， 没    有    人    能    救    出    他   。 一    天   ， 一    位    公    主    来    到    了    大    森    林   ， 她    迷    路    了   ， 找    不    到    他    父    亲    的    王    国    了   。 她    在    森    林    里    胡    乱    转    了    九    天   ， 最    后    来    到    铁    炉    前   。 突    然    铁    炉    里    传    出    一    个    声    音   ：" 你    从    哪    里    来   ？ 要    到    哪    里    去   ？" 公    主    答    道   ：" 我    找    不    到    父    亲    的    王    国   ， 没    法    回    家    了   。" 铁    炉    里    的    声    音    又    说    道   ：" 我    会    很    快    帮    你    回    家    的   ， 只    要    你    肯    答    应    我    一    件    事   。 我    是    一    位    王    子   ， 我    的    国    家    比    公    主    你    的    要    强    大    得    多   ， 我    要    娶    你    为    妻   。"

 公    主    很    害    怕   ， 她    想   ：" 天    啊   ！ 我    怎    能    和    一    个    铁    炉    在    一    起    呢   ？" 不    过    她    太    想    回    家    了   ， 便    答    应    了    他    的    要    求   。 但    是    他    又    说   ：" 你    回    去    后    必    须    再    来   ， 带    一    把    刀    子   ， 在    铁    炉    上    刮    个    洞   。" 说    完   ， 他    派    了    个    向    导    送    公    主    回    家   ， 向    导    在    旁    边    一    直    不    做    声   ， 两    小    时    后   ， 公    主    就    到    家    了   。 公    主    回    来    了   ， 宫    中    一    片    欢    腾   ， 老    王    吻    了    女    儿   ， 可    公    主    愁    眉    苦    脸   ， 说   ：" 亲    爱    的    父    王   ， 我    可    吓    坏    了   ， 要    不    是    在    森    林    中    遇    到    了    一    个    铁    炉   ， 我    可    就    永    远    回    不    了    家    了   。 可    是    我    不    得    不    答    应    铁    炉    的    要    求   ， 回    去    把    他    救    出    来   ， 然    后    嫁    给    他   。" 老    王    一    听    几    乎    晕    了    过    去   ， 因    为    他    只    有    这    个    独    生    女    儿   。 于    是    商    量    着   ， 想    让    磨    坊    主    那    漂    亮    的    女    儿    顶    替    公    主    去   。 女    孩    被    带    到    森    林    里   ， 他    们    给    了    她    一    把    刀   ， 她    便    开    始    刮    起    铁    炉    来   。 她    刮    了    整    整    一    天   ， 却    没    有    刮    下    丝    毫    铁    片   。 天    快    亮    了   ， 炉    子    里    面    叫    道   ：" 外    面    像    是    白    天    了   。" 姑    娘    回    答    说   ：" 是    呀   ！ 我    好    像    听    到    爸    爸    磨    房    里    的    机    器    的    轰    鸣    声    了   。"" 这    么    说    你    是    磨    房    主    的    女    儿   ， 赶    快    走    开   ， 让    公    主    来   。" 姑    娘    马    上    离    开    了   ， 她    告    诉    国    王   ， 炉    子    里    的    人    只    要    公    主    去   。 国    王    听    了    很    害    怕   ， 公    主    也    吓    得    一    个    劲    地    哭   。 国    王    又    派    了    一    个    养    猪    人    的    女    儿    去    森    林   ， 还    给    了    她    一    块    金    子   ， 这    姑    娘    比    磨    房    主    的    女    儿    漂    亮    得    多   。 姑    娘    拿    着    刀    子    在    炉    子    上    刮    了    一    整    天   ， 可    还    是    没    刮    下    什    么    东    西   。 天    亮    时   ， 炉    里    的    声    音    又    叫    道   ：" 外    面    像    是    白    天    了   。" 姑    娘    回    答   ：" 是    啊   ！ 我    仿    佛    听    到    爸    爸    在    吹    牧    笛    了   。"" 这    么    说   ， 你    是    牧    人    的    女    儿    啦   ！ 你    马    上    回    去    要    公    主    来   ， 否    则    整    个    王    国    就    会    被    夷    为    平    地   ， 片    瓦    不    留   。" 公    主    得    知    后   ， 除    了    啼    哭   ， 也    没    办    法   ， 只    有    履    行    她    的    诺    言   。 于    是    她    告    别    了    她    的    父    王   ， 拿    着    把    刀    子   ， 径    直    向    森    林    中    的    那    铁    炉    走    去   。 一    到    那   ， 她    便    动    手    刮   ， 铁    皮    一    层    层    被    刮    开   ， 两    小    时    后   ， 一    个    小    洞    出    现    了   。 她    透    过    那    洞    朝    里    瞅    了    瞅   ， 原    来    炉    子    里    呆    着    位    年    轻    英    俊    的    小    伙    子   。 小    伙    子    浑    身    珠    光    宝    气   ， 公    主    不    禁    心    头    一    喜   。 她    继    续    刮   ， 不    久    就    刮    出    了    个    很    大    的    洞   ， 那    年    轻    人    可    以    钻    出    来    了   。 年    轻    人    一    出    来    就    说   ：" 现    在   ， 你    属    于    我   ， 我    属    于    你   。 你    是    我    的    新    娘   ， 是    你    救    了    我   。"

 王    子    立    刻    要    带    公    主    回    他    的    王    国   ， 但    公    主    请    求    再    去    见    父    王    一    面   。 王    子    答    应    了   ， 但    只    准    她    和    她    父    亲    最    多    说    三    句    话   。 公    主    急    匆    匆    地    赶    回    了    家   ， 可    她    的    话    儿    远    远    不    止    三    句   。 于    是    那    铁    炉    立    刻    不    见    了   ， 远    远    地    飞    过    了    玻    璃    山    和    锋    利    的    宝    剑    的    那    边   。 可    王    子    还    是    得    救    了   ， 不    再    被    关    在    里    面   。 随    后    公    主    告    别    了    父    王   ， 带    了    些    零    星    的    钱    儿   ， 又    回    到    森    林    里   。 她    四    处    寻    找    那    铁    炉   ， 可    哪    里    找    得    到   。 她    找    了    九    天   ， 已    是    饥    肠    辘    辘    了   ， 不    知    该    怎    么    办    好   ， 因    为    已    没    有    半    点    东    西    可    吃    了   。 天    黑    了   ， 她    爬    上    一    棵    小    树   ， 打    算    在    上    边    过    夜   ， 因    为    害    怕    野    兽   。 半    夜    时    分   ， 她    发    现    远    处    有    盏    小    灯   ， 心    想   ：" 啊   ， 这    下    我    得    救    了   ！" 她    滑    下    树   ， 向    那    灯    光    走    去   ， 一    边    走    一    边    祈    祷    着   。 她    来    到    了    一    座    小    旧    屋    前   ， 见    周    围    长    满    了    草   ， 门    外    堆    着    一    小    堆    木    柴   。" 唉   ， 我    现    在    怎    么    进    去    呀   ？" 她    心    里    嘀    咕    着   。 她    往    窗    户    里    探    了    探    头   ， 看    到    满    屋    子    是    大    大    小    小    的    癞    蛤    蟆   ， 却    有    一    张    铺    陈    华    丽    的    桌    子   ， 上    面    摆    着    酒    和    烤    肉   ， 碟    子    杯    子    都    是    银    的   。 于    是    她    鼓    起    勇    气    去    敲    门   ， 只    听    一    只    肥    大    的    蛤    蟆    立    刻    叫    道   ：

" 绿    色    的    小    侍    女   ，

 盘    腿    儿    小    侍    女   ，

 盘    腿    的    小    狗    儿   ，

 蹦    来    又    蹦    去    呀   ，

 快    看    外    面    是    谁    哟   。"

 一    只    小    蛤    蟆    蹦    来    开    了    门   。 公    主    进    了    屋   ， 大    伙    儿    都    欢    迎    她   ， 请    她    坐    下   。 蛤    蟆    问    公    主   ：" 你    从    哪    来   ？ 要    到    哪    去   ？" 于    是    公    主    向    它    们    说    了    自    己    的    遭    遇   ： 因    为    自    己    和    父    王    多    说    了    几    句   ， 铁    炉    和    王    子    就    不    见    了   ， 现    在    就    是    到    天    涯    海    角    她    也    要    找    到    他   。 于    是    老    蛤    蟆    又    说    道   ：

" 绿    色    的    小    侍    女   ，

 盘    腿    儿    小    侍    女   ，

 盘    腿    的    小    狗    儿   ，

 蹦    来    又    蹦    去    呀   ，

 快    把    大    盒    子    背    过    来   。"

 小    蛤    蟆    又    蹦    过    去    背    来    一    个    盒    子   。 随    后    它    们    让    公    主    饱    餐    了    一    顿   ， 又    给    她    铺    了    张    床   ， 上    面    垫    着    丝    绸    和    丝    绒   ， 卧    在    上    面    舒    服    极    了   。 公    主    祈    祷    完    了    后   ， 就    睡    着    了   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 公    主    醒    了   ， 老    蛤    蟆    从    大    盒    中    拿    出    了    三    根    针    叫    她    带    着   ， 说    定    有    用    处   ， 因    为    公    主    只    有    翻    过    一    座    玻    璃    山   ， 绕    过    三    口    宝    剑   ， 渡    过    一    个    大    湖   ， 才    能    找    到    王    子   。 带    着    这    三    件    礼    物   ， 公    主    上    路    了   。 她    走    到    了    玻    璃    山    前   ， 山    上    很    滑   ， 她    将    三    口    针    轮    番    插    在    脚    跟    下   ， 顺    利    地    翻    过    了    山   ； 到    了    那    边   ， 她    把    针    插    在    一    个    地    方   ， 并    做    好    记    号   。 随    后    又    到    了    三    口    锋    利    的    宝    剑    前   ， 她    站    在    犁    轮    上   ， 从    剑    上    滚    了    过    去   。 最    后   ， 她    又    来    到    一    个    大    湖    旁   ， 又    渡    过    了    大    水   ， 来    到    一    座    美    丽    的    大    宫    殿    前   。 她    肯    定    从    大    森    林    的    铁    炉    中    救    出    来    的    王    子    就    在    这    宫    中   ， 于    是    走    了    进    去   ， 装    出    一    副    可    怜    相   ， 说    是    希    望    有    人    雇    佣    她   。 这    时    候   ， 王    子    正    准    备    和    另    一    位    姑    娘    结    婚   ， 因    为    他    以    为    公    主    早    死    了   。

 晚    上   ， 公    主    洗    完    所    有    的    碟    子   ， 便    从    口    袋    中    拿    出    一    个    坚    果    准    备    吃   ， 可    谁    知    一    嗑    开   ， 里    面    竟    有    一    件    非    常    漂    亮    的    宫    廷    礼    服   ！ 王    子    的    未    婚    妻    听    说    了    这    事   ， 来    向    她    要    那    套    衣    服   ， 说   ：" 这    衣    根    本    不    适    合    洗    碟    的    女    佣    穿   。' 她    想    买    下    它   。 公    主    回    答    说   ， 不   ， 她    可    舍    不    得    卖   ， 除    非    她    答    应    她    的    条    件   ， 即    许    她    在    新    郎    的    房    间    里    睡    一    夜   ， 新    娘    就    可    以    得    到    它   。 新    娘    实    在    太    喜    欢    这    件    漂    亮    的    衣    服    啦   ， 只    好    答    应    条    件   。 晚    上   ， 新    娘    对    新    郎    说   ：" 那    个    傻    丫    头    要    在    你    房    间    睡    一    夜   ， 你    同    意    吗   ？" 只    要    你    愿    意   ， 我    没    意    见   。" 于    是    新    娘    让    他    喝    了    杯    酒   ， 里    面    渗    了    些    催    眠    药   ， 这    样    王    子    当    然    就    呼    呼    睡    起    大    觉    来   ， 无    论    公    主    怎    样    呼    唤    都    无    动    静   。 公    主    哭    诉    了    一    整    夜   ， 说   ：" 是    我    从    森    林    中    的    一    个    铁    炉    里    把    你    救    了    出    来   ， 为    了    找    你   ， 我    翻    过    了    玻    璃    山   ， 跨    过    了    三    口    宝    剑   ， 趟    过    了    一    个    大    湖   ， 可    你    连    话    儿    都    不    听    我    说   ！" 这    些    话    被    门    外    的    仆    人    听    得    一    清    二    楚   ， 早    上    全    告    诉    了    他    们    的    主    人   。 第    二    天    晚    上   ， 公    主    嗑    开    第    二    颗    坚    果   ， 又    得    了    件    漂    亮    的    礼    服   ， 王    子    的    未    婚    妻    又    想    买   ， 可    女    仆    不    希    罕    她    的    钱   ， 她    又    拿    来    和    新    娘    交    换   ， 请    求    准    她    再    在    新    郎    房    中    睡    一    夜   。 可    王    子    又    喝    了    一    杯    加    了    安    眠    药    的    酒   ， 依    旧    呼    呼    大    睡    了    一    夜   。 公    主    又    哭    诉    了    一    整    夜   ， 这    些    又    被    仆    人    听    见    了   ， 告    诉    了    他    们    的    主    人   。 第    三    天    晚    上   ， 公    主    嗑    开    了    第    三    颗    坚    果   ， 这    回    里    面    是    件    纯    金    做    的    衣    服   。 新    娘    一    见    又    想    要   ， 公    主    给    了    她   ， 条    件    是    允    许    她    再    在    王    子    的    房    里    睡    一    夜   。 这    回    王    子    早    有    防    备   ， 没    有    喝    催    眠    药    水   。 公    主    又    开    始    哭    诉   ：" 我    最    最    亲    爱    的    人    呀   ！ 我    把    你    从    森    林    中    的    那    只    炉    子    里    救    了    出    来   ......" 听    到    这    话   ， 王    子    跳    了    起    来   ，" 你    是    我    的    真    新    娘   ， 你    是    我    的   ， 我    是    你    的   。" 于    是    他    们    夜    里    坐    上    一    辆    马    车    走    了   ， 他    们    拿    走    了    假    新    娘    的    衣    服   ， 叫    她    不    能    起    床   。 他    们    渡    过    了    大    湖   ， 坐    上    犁    轮    滚    过    了    利    剑   ， 踏    着    针    儿    翻    过    了    玻    璃    山   ， 最    后    来    到    了    小    旧    屋    前   。 他    们    一    踏    进    屋    去   ， 小    屋    立    刻    变    成    了    一    座    宏    伟    的    大    宫    殿   ， 蛤    蟆    们    也    被    解    去    了    法    术   ， 原    来    尽    是    些    公    主    和    王    子   。 他    们    欢    天    喜    地   ， 一    个    个    高    兴    极    啦   ！ 公    主    与    王    子    举    行    了    婚    礼   ， 他    们    留    在    那    座    宫    殿    里   ， 那    宫    殿    可    比    公    主    父    亲    的    大    得    多   。 公    主    的    父    王    年    岁    大    了   ， 一    个    人    孤    零    零    地    住    着   ， 于    是    他    们    便    把    他    接    了    来   ， 这    样    他    们    就    有    了    两    个    王    国   ， 从    此    生    活    幸    福    又    美    满   。

 那    边    跑    来    只    老    鼠    啦   ，

 我    这    故    事    也    讲    完    了   。
