侏    儒    妖   

 从    前   ， 有    个    磨    坊    主   ， 他    的    女    儿    长    得    美    丽    无    比   ， 而    且    聪    明    伶    俐   ， 为    人    精    明   ， 因    而    她    父    亲    总    是    不    厌    其    烦    地    吹    嘘    她   ， 把    她    吹    得    天    花    乱    坠   。

 有    一    天   ， 磨    坊    主    应    召    进    宫   ， 他    对    国    王    吹    牛    说   ， 他    女    儿    能    把    稻    草    纺    成    金    子   。

 谁    知    国    王    是    个    见    钱    眼    开    的    人   ， 一    听    磨    坊    主    的    话   ， 马    上    就    吩    咐    召    见    姑    娘   。 姑    娘    进    宫    之    后   ， 国    王    把    她    领    到    一    间    装    满    了    稻    草    的    屋    子   ， 然    后    给    她    一    架    纺    车   ， 吩    咐    她    道   ：" 明    天    天    亮    之    前   ， 你    必    须    把    稻    草    全    给    我    纺    成    金    子   ， 不    然    的    话   ， 就    处    死    你   。"

 尽    管    姑    娘    一    再    说    明    她    根    本    没    有    这    种    本    领   ， 可    是    国    王    听    也    不    听   ， 把    门    一    锁   ， 扬    长    而    去   ， 屋    子    里    就    剩    下    了    她    一    个    人   。

 姑    娘    坐    在    屋    角    里   ， 面    对    自    己    的    厄    运   ， 愁    肠    百    结   ， 于    是    就    放    声    大    哭    起    来   。 正    在    这    时   ， 屋    门    突    然    打    开    了   ， 一    瘸    一    拐    地    走    进    来    一    个    小    矮    子   ， 样    子    滑    稽    可    笑   ， 他    对    姑    娘    说   ：" 晚    上    好   ， 姑    娘   。 干    嘛    哭    得    这    样    伤    心    呢   ？"

" 唉   ，" 姑    娘    回    答    说   ，" 我    必    须    把    这    么    多    的    稻    草    全    都    纺    成    金    子   ， 可    我    哪    儿    会    这    个    呀   ！"

" 要    是    我    替    你    纺   ，" 小    矬    子    说   ，" 你    拿    什    么    酬    谢    我    呢   ？"

" 把    我    漂    亮    的    项    链    送    给    你   。" 姑    娘    回    答    道   。

 小    矮    矮    相    信    姑    娘    说    的    话   ， 于    是    就    坐    到    了    纺    车    前   。 纺    车    不    停    地    转    啊    转   ， 发    出    欢    快    的    声    音   。 不    大    一    会    儿   ， 活    儿    就    干    完    了   ， 满    屋    稻    草    全    都    纺    成    了    金    子   。

 国    王    进    屋    一    看   ， 真    是    又    惊    又    喜   ， 可    他    的    心    却    变    得    更    加    贪    婪   。 他    把    磨    坊    主    的    女    儿    关    进    另    一    间    有    更    多    稻    草    的    屋    子   ， 吩    咐    她    再    把    这    间    屋    子    里    的    稻    草    纺    成    金    子   。 可    怜    的    姑    娘    不    知    如    何    是    好   ， 坐    在    那    里    又    哭    了    起    来   。 谁    知    正    在    这    时   ， 小    矮    子    打    开    屋    门    问    道   ：" 要    是    我    帮    你    纺   ， 你    拿    什    么    酬    谢    我    呢   ？"

" 把    这    枚    钻    石    戒    指    送    给    你   。" 姑    娘    回    答    说   。

 于    是   ， 她    的    这    个    矮    小    的    朋    友    接    过    了    戒    指   ， 然    后    走    到    纺    车    前   ， 纺    了    起    来   。 他    不    停    地    纺    啊    纺   ， 天    亮    之    前   ， 终    于    把    屋    里    的    稻    草    全    都    纺    成    了    金    子   。

 国    王    一    见    这    么    多    闪    闪    发    光    的    金    子   ， 满    心    欢    喜   ， 可    他    仍    然    不    满    足   ， 就    把    磨    坊    主    的    女    儿    带    到    了    另    一    间    更    大    的    屋    子   ， 并    且    对    她    说   ：" 要    是    你    今    晚    把    这    里    的    稻    草    全    都    纺    成    金    子   ， 我    就    娶    你    做    王    后   。"

 国    王    走    了   ， 剩    下    姑    娘    一    个    人    的    时    候   ， 小    矮    子    又    来    了   ， 问    姑    娘    说   ：" 要    是    我    第    三    次    还    替    你    纺    金    子   ， 你    拿    什    么    酬    谢    我    呢   ？"

" 我    再    也    没    什    么    可    送    给    你    啦   。" 她    回    答    说   。

" 那    么   ， 你    得    答    应    我   ，" 小    矮    子    接    着    说    道   ，" 等    你    做    了    王    后   ， 把    你    生    的    第    一    个    孩    子    送    给    我   。"

" 那    可    万    万    不    行   。" 姑    娘    心    里    想   ， 可    是    她    现    在    已    走    投    无    路   ， 就    答    应    了    他    的    要    求   。 小    矮    子    又    一    次    把    稻    草    全    都    纺    成    了    金    子   。

 次    日    清    晨   ， 国    王    又    来    了   ， 发    现    一    切    如    愿    以    偿   ， 就    娶    了    磨    坊    主    的    女    儿    做    王    后   。

 王    后    的    第    一    个    孩    子    出    生    了   ， 她    欢    天    喜    地   ， 却    把    小    矮    子    和    她    自    己    的    诺    言    给    忘    了   。 谁    知    有    一    天   ， 小    矮    子    突    然    来    到    她    的    房    间   ， 提    醒    她    不    要    忘    记    了    自    己    许    下    的    诺    言   。 对    这    突    如    其    来    的    不    幸   ， 她    悲    痛    欲    绝   ， 只    得    提    出    将    王    国    所    有    的    金    银    财    宝    都    给    他   ， 作    为    交    换    的    条    件   ， 可    是    小    矮    子    说    什    么    也    不    答    应   。 王    后    失    声    痛    哭   ， 哭    得    像    个    泪    人    似    的   ， 小    矮    子    见    了    心    也    就    软    了    下    来   ， 对    她    说    道   ：" 我    宽    限    你    三    天    时    间   ， 要    是    你    在    这    三    天    之    内    能    说    出    我    的    名    字   ， 你    就    把    孩    子    留    下   。"

 于    是   ， 王    后    派    遣    很    多    信    使    去    全    国    各    地   ， 打    听    没    有    听    说    过    的    名    字   。

 次    日   ， 小    矮    子    又    来    了   ， 她    就    开    始    把    所    有    记    得    起    来    的    名    字    都    说    了    出    来   ， 什    么    迪    姆    斯    啦   ， 本    杰    明    啦   ， 简    罗    米    啦   ， 等    等   。 可    是    小    矮    子    每    听    一    个    都    说   ：" 我    不    叫    这    个   。"

 第    二    天   ， 她    把    听    到    过    的    滑    稽    名    字    都    说    了    出    来   ， 什    么    罗    圈    腿    啦   ， 小    罗    锅    啦   ， 八    字    脚    啦   ， 诸    如    此    类   。 可    是    小    矮    子    每    听    一    个    还    是    说   ：" 我    不    叫    这    个   。"

 第    三    天   ， 有    个    信    使    回    来    说   ：" 我    正    在    上    山    的    时    候   ， 发    现    森    林    中    有    一    个    小    棚    子   ， 棚    子    前    燃    着    一    堆    篝    火   ， 一    个    滑    稽    可    笑    的    小    矮    子    用    一    只    脚    围    着    火    堆    蹦    过    来   ， 跳    过    去   ， 一    边    蹦    跳    一    边    唱    着   ：

' 今    天    我    酿    酒   ，

 明    天    露    一    手   ；

 又    唱    又    跳    多    快    活   ，

 明    天    小    孩    就    归    我   ；

 王    后    绞    尽    脑    汁    儿    却    说    不    准   ，

 本    人    名    叫    龙    佩    尔    斯    迪    尔    钦   ！'"

 王    后    听    了    高    兴    得    跳    了    起    来   。 过    了    一    会    儿   ， 小    矮    子    又    来    了   ， 进    门    便    问   ：" 王    后   ， 我    叫    什    么    名    字    啊   ？" 王    后    回    答    说   ：" 你    是    不    是    叫    约    翰    哪   ？"" 不    对   ！"" 那    你    是    不    是    叫    汤    姆    呢   ？"" 也    不    对   ！"

" 也    许    你    叫    龙    佩    尔    斯    迪    尔    钦    吧   ？"

" 肯    定    是    巫    婆    告    诉    你    的   ！ 肯    定    是    巫    婆    告    诉    你    的   ！" 小    矮    子    喊    叫    着   ， 气    得    直    跺    脚   ， 结    果    右    脚    深    深    地    陷    进    了    地    里   。 他    不    得    不    弯    下    腰    去   ， 用    双    手    紧    紧    抱    住    小    腿   ， 用    尽    全    身    力    气    才    拔    了    出    来   。 随    后   ， 他    便    急    急    忙    忙    溜    走    了   ， 这    场    虚    惊    也    就    结    束    了   ， 大    伙    于    是    开    怀    大    笑   。 王    后    后    来    再    也    没    有    见    到    过    他   。
