青    蛙    王    子   

 在    遥    远    的    古    代   ， 人    们    心    中    的    美    好    愿    望    往    往    能    够    变    成    现    实   。 就    在    那    个    令    人    神    往    的    时    代   ， 曾    经    有    过    一    位    国    王   。 国    王    有    好    几    个    女    儿   ， 个    个    都    长    得    非    常    美    丽   ； 尤    其    是    他    的    小    女    儿   ， 更    是    美    如    天    仙   ， 就    连    见    多    识    广    的    太    阳   ， 每    次    照    在    她    脸    上    时   ， 都    对    她    的    美    丽    感    到    惊    诧    不    已   。

 国    王    的    宫    殿    附    近   ， 有    一    片    幽    暗    的    大    森    林   。 在    这    片    森    林    中    的    一    棵    老    椴    树    下   ， 有    一    个    水    潭   ， 水    潭    很    深   。 在    天    热    的    时    候   ， 小    公    主    常    常    来    到    这    片    森    林   ， 坐    在    清    凉    的    水    潭    边    上   。 她    坐    在    那    里    感    到    无    聊    的    时    候   ， 就    取    出    一    只    金    球   ， 把    金    球    抛    向    空    中   ， 然    后    再    用    手    接    住   。 这    成    了    她    最    喜    爱    的    游    戏   。

 不    巧    的    是   ， 有    一    次   ， 小    公    主    伸    出    两    只    小    手    去    接    金    球   ， 金    球    却    没    有    落    进    她    的    手    里   ， 而    是    掉    到    了    地    上   ， 而    且    一    下    子    就    滚    到    了    水    潭    里   。 小    公    主    两    眼    紧    紧    地    盯    着    金    球   ， 可    是    金    球    忽    地    一    下    子    在    水    潭    里    就    没    影    儿    了   。 因    为    水    潭    里    的    水    很    深   ， 看    不    见    底   ， 小    公    主    就    哭    了    起    来   ， 她    的    哭    声    越    来    越    大   ， 哭    得    伤    心    极    了   。 哭    着    哭    着   ， 小    公    主    突    然    听    见    有    人    大    声    说   ：" 哎    呀   ， 公    主   ， 您    这    是    怎    么    啦   ？ 您    这    样    嚎    啕    大    哭   ， 就    连    石    头    听    了    都    会    心    疼    的    呀   。" 听    了    这    话   ， 小    公    主    四    处    张    望   ， 想    弄    清    楚    说    话    声    是    从    哪    儿    传    来    的   ， 不    料    却    发    现    一    只    青    蛙   ， 从    水    里    伸    出    他    那    丑    陋    不    堪    的    肥    嘟    嘟    的    大    脑    袋   。

" 啊   ！ 原    来    是    你    呀   ， 游    泳    健    将   ，" 小    公    主    对    青    蛙    说    道   ，" 我    在    这    儿    哭   ， 是    因    为    我    的    金    球    掉    进    水    潭    里    去    了   。"

" 好    啦   ， 不    要    难    过   ， 别    哭    了   ，" 青    蛙    回    答    说   ，" 我    有    办    法    帮    助    您   。 要    是    我    帮    您    把    您    的    金    球    捞    出    来   ， 您    拿    什    么    东    西    来    回    报    我    呢   ？"

" 亲    爱    的    青    蛙   ， 你    要    什    么    东    西    都    成    呵   ，" 小    公    主    回    答    说   ，" 我    的    衣    服   、 我    的    珍    珠    和    宝    石   、 甚    至    我    头    上    戴    着    的    这    顶    金    冠   ， 都    可    以    给    你   。"

 听    了    这    话   ， 青    蛙    对    小    公    主    说   ：" 您    的    衣    服   、 您    的    珍    珠   、 您    的    宝    石   ， 还    有    您    的    金    冠   ， 我    哪    样    都    不    想    要   。 不    过   ， 要    是    您    喜    欢    我   ， 让    我    做    您    的    好    朋    友   ， 我    们    一    起    游    戏   ， 吃    饭    的    时    候    让    我    和    您    同    坐    一    张    餐    桌   ， 用    您    的    小    金    碟    子    吃    东    西   ， 用    您    的    小    高    脚    杯    饮    酒   ， 晚    上    还    让    我    睡    在    您    的    小    床    上   ； 要    是    您    答    应    所    有    这    一    切    的    话   ， 我    就    潜    到    水    潭    里    去   ， 把    您    的    金    球    捞    出    来   。"

" 好    的   ， 太    好    了   ，" 小    公    主    说   ，" 只    要    你    愿    意    把    我    的    金    球    捞    出    来   ， 你    的    一    切    要    求    我    都    答    应   。" 小    公    主    虽    然    嘴    上    这    么    说   ， 心    里    却    想   ：" 这    只    青    蛙    可    真    够    傻    的   ， 尽    胡    说    八    道   ！ 他    只    配    蹲    在    水    潭    里   ， 和    其    他    青    蛙    一    起    呱    呱    叫   ， 怎    么    可    能    做    人    的    好    朋    友    呢   ？"

 青    蛙    得    到    了    小    公    主    的    许    诺    之    后   ， 把    脑    袋    往    水    里    一    扎   ， 就    潜    入    了    水    潭   。 过    了    不    大    一    会    儿   ， 青    蛙    嘴    里    衔    着    金    球   ， 浮    出    了    水    面   ， 然    后    把    金    球    吐    在    草    地    上   。 小    公    主    重    又    见    到    了    自    己    心    爱    的    玩    具   ， 心    里    别    提    有    多    高    兴    了   。 她    把    金    球    拣    了    起    来   ， 撒    腿    就    跑   。

" 别    跑   ！ 别    跑   ！" 青    蛙    大    声    叫    道   ，" 带    上    我    呀   ！ 我    可    跑    不    了    您    那    么    快   。"

 尽    管    青    蛙    扯    着    嗓    子    拼    命    叫    喊   ， 可    是    没    有    一    点    儿    用   。 小    公    主    对    青    蛙    的    喊    叫    根    本    不    予    理    睬   ， 而    是    径    直    跑    回    了    家   ， 并    且    很    快    就    把    可    怜    的    青    蛙    忘    记    得    一    干    二    净   。 青    蛙    只    好    蹦    蹦    跳    跳    地    又    回    到    水    潭    里    去   。

 第    二    天   ， 小    公    主    跟    国    王    和    大    臣    们    刚    刚    坐    上    餐    桌   ， 才    开    始    用    她    的    小    金    碟    进    餐   ， 突    然    听    见    啪    啦    啪    啦    的    声    音   。 随    着    声    响   ， 有    个    什    么    东    西    顺    着    大    理    石    台    阶    往    上    跳   ， 到    了    门    口    时   ， 便    一    边    敲    门    一    边    大    声    嚷    嚷   ：" 小    公    主   ， 快    开    门   ！" 听    到    喊    声   ， 小    公    主    急    忙    跑    到    门    口   ， 想    看    看    是    谁    在    门    外    喊    叫   。 打    开    门    一    看   ， 原    来    是    那    只    青    蛙   ， 正    蹲    在    门    前   。 小    公    主    见    是    青    蛙   ， 猛    然    把    门    关    上   ， 转    身    赶    紧    回    到    座    位   ， 心    里    害    怕    极    了   。 国    王    发    现    小    公    主    一    副    心    慌    意    乱    的    样    子   ， 就    问    她   ：

" 孩    子   ， 你    怎    么    会    吓    成    这    个    样    子   ？ 该    不    是    门    外    有    个    巨    人    要    把    你    抓    走    吧   ？"

" 啊   ， 不    是    的   ，" 小    公    主    回    答    说   ，" 不    是    什    么    巨    人   ， 而    是    一    只    讨    厌    的    青    蛙   。"" 青    蛙    想    找    你    做    什    么    呢   ？"

" 唉   ！ 我    的    好    爸    爸   ， 昨    天   ， 我    到    森    林    里    去    了   。 坐    在    水    潭    边    上    玩    的    时    候   ， 金    球    掉    到    水    潭    里    去    了   ， 于    是    我    就    哭    了   。 我    哭    得    很    伤    心   ， 青    蛙    就    替    我    把    金    球    捞    了    上    来   。 因    为    青    蛙    请    求    我    做    他    的    朋    友   ， 我    就    答    应    了   ， 可    是    我    压    根    儿    没    有    想    到   ， 他    会    从    水    潭    里    爬    出    来   ， 爬    这    么    远    的    路    到    这    儿    来   。 现    在    他    就    在    门    外    呢   ， 想    要    上    咱    这    儿    来   。" 正    说    着    话    的    当    儿   ， 又    听    见    了    敲    门    声   ， 接    着    是    大    声    的    喊    叫   ：

" 小    公    主    啊    我    的    爱   ，

 快    点    儿    把    门    打    开   ！

 爱    你    的    人    已    到    来   ，

 快    点    儿    把    门    打    开   ！

 你    不    会    忘    记    昨    天   ，

 老    椴    树    下    水    潭    边   ，

 潭    水    深    深    球    不    见   ，

 是    你    亲    口    许    诺    言   。"

 国    王    听    了    之    后    对    小    公    主    说   ，" 你    决    不    能    言    而    无    信   ， 快    去    开    门    让    他    进    来   。" 小    公    主    走    过    去    把    门    打    开   ， 青    蛙    蹦    蹦    跳    跳    地    进    了    门   ， 然    后    跟    着    小    公    主    来    到    座    位    前   ， 接    着    大    声    叫    道   ，" 把    我    抱    到    你    身    旁    呀   ！"

 小    公    主    听    了    吓    得    发    抖   ， 国    王    却    吩    咐    她    照    青    蛙    说    的    去    做   。 青    蛙    被    放    在    了    椅    子    上   ， 可    心    里    不    太    高    兴   ， 想    到    桌    子    上    去   。 上    了    桌    子    之    后    又    说   ，" 把    您    的    小    金    碟    子    推    过    来    一    点    儿    好    吗   ？ 这    样    我    们    就    可    以    一    快    儿    吃    啦   。" 很    显    然   ， 小    公    主    很    不    情    愿    这    么    做   ， 可    她    还    是    把    金    碟    子    推    了    过    去   。 青    蛙    吃    得    津    津    有    味   ， 可    小    公    主    却    一    点    儿    胃    口    都    没    有   。 终    于   ， 青    蛙    开    口    说   ，" 我    已    经    吃    饱    了   。 现    在    我    有    点    累    了   ， 请    把    我    抱    到    您    的    小    卧    室    去   ， 铺    好    您    的    缎    子    被    盖   ， 然    后    我    们    就    寝    吧   。"

 小    公    主    害    怕    这    只    冷    冰    冰    的    青    蛙   ， 连    碰    都    不    敢    碰    一    下   。 一    听    他    要    在    自    己    整    洁    漂    亮    的    小    床    上    睡    觉   ， 就    哭    了    起    来   。

 国    王    见    小    公    主    这    个    样    子   ， 就    生    气    地    对    她    说   ，" 在    我    们    困    难    的    时    候    帮    助    过    我    们    的    人   ， 不    论    他    是    谁   ， 过    后    都    不    应    当    受    到    鄙    视   。"

 于    是   ， 小    公    主    用    两    只    纤    秀    的    手    指    把    青    蛙    挟    起    来   ， 带    着    他    上    了    楼   ， 把    他    放    在    卧    室    的    一    个    角    落    里   。 可    是    她    刚    刚    在    床    上    躺    下   ， 青    蛙    就    爬    到    床    边    对    她    说   ，" 我    累    了   ， 我    也    想    在    床    上    睡    觉   。 请    把    我    抱    上    来   ， 要    不    然    我    就    告    诉    您    父    亲   。"

 一    听    这    话   ， 小    公    主    勃    然    大    怒   ， 一    把    抓    起    青    蛙   ， 朝    墙    上    死    劲    儿    摔    去   。

" 现    在    你    想    睡    就    去    睡    吧   ， 你    这    个    丑    陋    的    讨    厌    鬼   ！"

 谁    知    他    一    落    地   ， 已    不    再    是    什    么    青    蛙   ， 却    一    下    子    变    成    了    一    位    王    子   ： 一    位    两    眼    炯    炯    有    神   、 满    面    笑    容    的    王    子   。 直    到    这    时    候   ， 王    子    才    告    诉    小    公    主   ， 原    来    他    被    一    个    狠    毒    的    巫    婆    施    了    魔    法   ， 除    了    小    公    主    以    外   ， 谁    也    不    能    把    他    从    水    潭    里    解    救    出    来   。 于    是   ， 遵    照    国    王    的    旨    意   ， 他    成    为    小    公    主    亲    密    的    朋    友    和    伴    侣   ， 明    天   ， 他    们    将    一    道    返    回    他    的    王    国   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 太    阳    爬    上    山    的    时    候   ， 一    辆    八    骑    马    拉    的    大    马    车    已    停    在    了    门    前   ， 马    头    上    都    插    着    洁    白    的    羽    毛   ， 一    晃    一    晃    的   ， 马    身    上    套    着    金    光    闪    闪    的    马    具   。 车    后    边    站    着    王    子    的    仆    人   -- 忠    心    耿    耿    的    亨    利   。 亨    利    的    主    人    被    变    成    一    只    青    蛙    之    后   ， 他    悲    痛    欲    绝   ， 于    是    他    在    自    己    的    胸    口    套    上    了    三    个    铁    箍   ， 免    得    他    的    心    因    为    悲    伤    而    破    碎    了   。

 马    车    来    接    年    轻    的    王    子    回    他    的    王    国    去   。 忠    心    耿    耿    的    亨    利    扶    着    他    的    主    人    和    王    妃    上    了    车    厢   ， 然    后    自    己    又    站    到    了    车    后    边    去   。 他    们    上    路    后    刚    走    了    不    远   ， 突    然    听    见    噼    噼    啦    啦    的    响    声   ， 好    像    有    什    么    东    西    断    裂    了   。 路    上   ， 噼    噼    啦    啦    声    响    了    一    次    又    一    次   ， 每    次    王    子    和    王    妃    听    见    响    声   ， 都    以    为    是    车    上    的    什    么    东    西    坏    了   。 其    实    不    然   ， 忠    心    耿    耿    的    亨    利    见    主    人    是    那    么    地    幸    福   ， 因    而    感    到    欣    喜    若    狂   ， 于    是    那    几    个    铁    箍    就    从    他    的    胸    口    上    一    个    接    一    个    地    崩    掉    了   。
