森    林    中    的    老    妇    人   

 从    前    有    个    贫    苦    的    小    女    仆    跟    着    她    的    主    人    家    一    起    穿    过    一    片    大    森    林   ， 当    他    们    走    到    森    林    的    中    间    时   ， 突    然    树    丛    中    窜    出    了    一    群    强    盗   ， 见    人    就    杀   。 小    女    孩    吓    得    魂    不    附    体   ， 赶    快    从    马    车    上    跳    了    下    来   ， 藏    在    树    后   ， 才    幸    免    于    难   ， 其    余    的    人    统    统    给    强    盗    杀    光    了   。 强    盗    们    带    着    他    们    的    战    利    品    扬    长    而    去   ， 这    时    小    女    孩    才    从    树    后    走    出    来   。 目    睹    了    眼    前    这    场    灾    难   ， 小    女    孩    不    禁    悲    痛    地    哭    了    起    来   ， 只    听    她    口    中    说   ：" 我    这    样    孤    苦    零    丁    的   ， 现    在    我    该    怎    么    办    呢   ？ 我    怎    样    才    能    走    出    这    林    子   ？ 林    间    又    无    别    人    住    在    这    里   ， 我    肯    定    会    饿    死    的   ！" 于    是    她    便    四    处    乱    走   ， 想    找    条    出    路   ， 但    一    切    均    是    枉    然   。 到    了    晚    上   ， 她    坐    在    一    棵    树    下   ， 祈    求    上    帝    的    庇    护   ， 心    想    不    管    发    生    什    么    事    情   ， 她    都    将    呆    在    原    地    不    动   。 过    了    一    会    儿   ， 一    只    白    鸽    飞    了    过    来   ， 口    衔    着    小    金    钥    匙   。 它    把    钥    匙    放    在    小    女    孩    的    手    上   ， 说   ：" 你    看    见    那    棵    大    树    上    的    小    锁    吗   ？ 用    这    片    小    钥    匙    去    打    开    它   ， 你    就    会    得    到    足    够    的    食    物   ， 也    不    会    再    挨    饿    了   。" 于    是    小    女    孩    走    到    树    前   ， 打    开    了    树    上    的    锁   ， 发    现    树    里    有    个    小    盘    子   ， 里    面    盛    着    牛    奶    和    白    白    的    面    包   ， 她    便    放    开    肚    皮    吃    了    个    饱   。 吃    完    后   ， 她    又    说   ：" 现    在    是    家    里    的    母    鸡    归    巢    的    时    候    了   ， 我    好    累   ， 要    是    能    有    张    床    睡    觉    该    有    多    好   ！" 刚    说    完   ， 白    鸽    又    飞    了    过    来   ， 口    里    叼    着    另    一    片    小    金    钥    匙   ， 说   ：" 打    开    那    边    那    棵    树   ， 你    就    会    得    到    一    张    床   。" 于    是    小    女    孩    又    去    打    开    了    那    棵    树   ， 发    现    一    张    白    色    的    床   ， 精    美    无    比   。 她    立    刻    感    谢    了    上    帝    当    晚    的    保    护   ， 便    躺    下    睡    着    了   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 那    白    鸽    又    飞    来    了   ， 口    里    又    叼    着    片    小    金    钥    匙   ， 说   ：" 打    开    那    棵    树   ， 你    能    找    到    衣    裳   。" 小    女    孩    便    打    开    了    树   ， 发    现    好    多    的    衣    服   ， 都    镶    嵌    着    金    银    珠    宝   ， 比    公    主    穿    的    还    要    漂    亮   。 从    此   ， 她    便    住    在    森    林    里   ， 那    只    白    鸽    每    天    飞    来    飞    去   ， 给    她    带    来    各    式    各    样    所    需    的    东    西   。

 这    种    生    活    多    美    好    啊   ！

 一    天   ， 白    鸽    飞    来    说    道   ：" 你    能    替    我    办    点    事    吗   ？"" 十    分    愿    意   ，" 小    女    孩    答    道   。 小    白    鸽    说   ：" 我    将    带    你    到    一    间    小    屋    前   ， 你    走    进    去   ， 里    边    会    有    一    个    老    妇    人    坐    在    火    炉    边    对    你    说   ' 你    好   ！' 但    是    千    万    别    回    答    她   ， 不    管    她    做    什    么   ， 你    从    她    右    边    走    过    去   ； 再    往    前   ， 会    有    一    扇    打    开    的    门   ， 走    进    去   ， 那    儿    有    各    式    各    样    的    戒    指   ， 还    有    珠    光    宝    石    的    戒    指   ， 华    贵    无    比   。 同    样    别    碰    它    们   ， 只    找    一    个    样    式    普    通    的   ， 拿    到    后    赶    快    回    到    我    这    里    来   。" 小    女    孩    便    走    到    了    小    屋    前   ， 只    见    那    儿    果    真    坐    着    个    老    妇    人   ， 她    盯    着    小    女    孩    说   ：" 你    好   ， 我    的    孩    子   。" 小    女    孩    没    有    搭    理    她   ， 径    直    打    开    了    门   。" 走    开   ！" 老    妇    人    一    边    嚷   ， 一    边    来    扯    她    的    衣    服    想    抓    住    她   ，" 那    是    我    的    房    子   ， 没    有    我    的    允    许   ， 谁    也    不    准    进    去   ！" 小    女    孩    也    不    说    话   ， 挣    脱    她    径    直    冲    进    屋    内   。 屋    里    的    桌    子    上    确    有    许    多    戒    指   ， 在    她    眼    前    闪    闪    发    光   。 小    女    孩    翻    遍    了    所    有    的    戒    指   ， 想    找    出    那    只    模    样    普    通    的   ， 但    没    找    着   。 她    找    啊    找    啊   ， 这    时    她    突    然    留    意    到    那    老    妇    人    手    提    一    只    鸟    笼   ， 正    准    备    偷    偷    摸    摸    地    溜    走   。 小    女    孩    马    上    赶    过    去   ， 劈    手    夺    过    鸟    笼   ， 举    在    眼    前    仔    细    一    看   ， 原    来    里    边    有    只    小    鸟    的    口    中    正    叼    着    一    个    模    样    普    通    的    戒    指   。 于    是    她    便    伸    手    进    去    拿    出    了    戒    指   ， 高    高    兴    兴    地    跑    了    回    去   。 她    以    为    小    白    鸽    一    定    会    来    取    戒    指   ， 但    是    它    却    没    有    来   。 小    女    孩    只    好    靠    在    一    棵    树    上   ， 静    静    地    等    候    小    白    鸽   。 她    就    这    样    一    直    靠    树    站    着   ， 这    时    她    只    觉    得    树    儿    又    软    又    松   ， 树    枝    也    垂    了    下    来   。 突    然   ， 树    枝    变    成    了    两    只    手    臂    一    下    抱    住    了    她   。 小    女    孩    扭    头    一    看   ， 原    来    她    靠    在    上    面    的    树    儿    竟    变    成    了    一    位    英    俊    潇    洒    的    年    轻    人   。 他    就    是    这    样    地    抱    着    小    女    孩   ， 深    情    地    吻    着    她   ， 说   ：" 是    你    破    了    那    个    老    巫    婆    的    妖    术   ， 把    我    救    了    出    来   。 她    曾    把    我    变    成    一    棵    树   ， 每    天   ， 我    还    得    做    两    小    时    的    白    鸽   。 只    要    她    掌    握    着    这    个    戒    指   ， 我    便    没    法    恢    复    人    形   。" 接    着   ， 那    些    被    巫    婆    变    成    树    的    仆    人    和    马    匹   ， 都    脱    了    巫    术   ， 一    个    个    站    在    他    的    身    后   。 这    位    年    轻    人    原    来    是    位    王    子    殿    下   ， 王    子    将    他    们    重    新    带    回    宫   。 后    来    王    子    和    小    女    孩    成    了    亲   ， 生    活    过    得    幸    福    又    快    乐   。
