聪    明    的    格    蕾    特   

 从    前    有    个    名    叫    格    蕾    特    的    厨    娘   ， 她    有    一    双    红    跟    鞋   。 每    当    她    穿    着    这    双    鞋    子    外    出    的    时    候   ， 总    是    左    边    右    边    来    回    转   ， 心    里    赞    美    着    自    己   ：" 你    真    是    个    挺    漂    亮    的    姑    娘    呢   ！" 回    到    家   ， 她    总    要    高    兴    地    喝    上    一    口    酒   ， 而    酒    又    能    开    胃   ， 所    以    无    论    自    己    做    的    什    么    菜    她    都    觉    得    味    道    极    好   ， 直    到    吃    得    饱    饱    的    才    罢    休   ， 并    且    说   ：" 厨    娘    一    定    得    知    道    饭    菜    的    味    道    如    何   。"

 有    一    次   ， 主    人    对    她    说   ：" 格    蕾    特   ， 今    晚    我    有    个    朋    友    要    来   ， 准    备    两    只    烧    鸡   ， 味    道    一    定    要    好   。"" 我    会    把    这    事    儿    办    好    的   。" 格    蕾    特    回    答    道   。 她    杀    了    两    只    鸡   ， 用    开    水    烫    过   ， 拔    了    毛    之    后    又    把    它    们    用    铁    钎    插    上   。 傍    晚    时    分   ， 她    将    鸡    放    到    火    上    去    烤   ， 鸡    渐    渐    变    成    棕    色   ， 差    不    多    快    烤    好    了   ， 可    客    人    还    没    有    到   。 格    蕾    特    对    主    人    喊    道   ：" 如    果    客    人    还    不    来   ， 我    只    好    把    鸡    从    火    上    挪    开    了   。 但    是    现    在    是    鸡    味    道    最    好    的    时    候   ， 不    趁    这    会    儿    吃    简    直    太    可    惜    了   。" 主    人    说   ：" 我    这    就    去    把    客    人    接    来   。" 说    完    转    身    走    了   。 格    蕾    特    把    插    着    鸡    的    铁    钎    放    在    一    边   ， 想   ：" 老    待    在    火    边    让    人    又    渴    又    热   。 谁    知    道    他    们    什    么    时    候    才    来   ， 还    是    先    到    地    窖    里    去    拿    杯    喝    的    吧   。" 于    是   ， 她    跑    到    地    窖   ， 端    着    个    大    酒    壶   ， 说    了    句   " 上    帝    保    佑    你   ， 格    蕾    特   。" 就    喝    了    一    大    口    酒   。 可    她    觉    得    酒    应    该    源    源    不    断    地    喝    才    是   ， 于    是    又    痛    痛    快    快    喝    了    一    大    口   。

 接    着    她    回    到    火    边   ， 在    鸡    上    抹    黄    油   ， 继    续    烤   ， 并    快    乐    地    转    动    着    手    里    的    铁    钎   。 鸡    的    香    气    实    在    太    诱    人    了   ， 于    是    格    蕾    特    对    自    己    说   ：" 也    许    缺    了    点    什    么   ， 该    尝    尝    味    道    才    是   。" 她    用    手    指    蘸    着    尝    了    一    点   ， 说   ：" 多    好    的    烤    鸡    呀   ！ 现    在    不    吃    真    是    罪    过   。" 于    是    她    跑    到    窗    口   ， 看    看    主    人    有    没    有    带    着    客    人    来   ， 她    没    见    任    何    人    影   ， 于    是   ， 又    回    到    烤    鸡    边   ， 想   ：" 一    只    鸡    翅    都    烤    焦    了   ， 我    还    是    把    它    揪    下    来    吃    了    的    好   。" 她    切    下    鸡    翅   ， 吃    了   ， 觉    得    味    道    好    极    了   。 吃    完    后   ， 她    想   ：" 另    一    只    也    应    该    切    下    来   ， 要    不    然    主    人    会    发    现    少    了    东    西   。" 吃    完    两    只    翅    膀   ， 她    又    到    窗    口    看    主    人    来    了    没    有   ， 还    是    没    看    到   。 格    蕾    特    猛    然    想    到   ：" 天    知    道   ？ 他    们    或    许    根    本    不    打    算    来    了   ， 也    许    到    别    处    去    了   。" 她    自    言    自    语    地    说   ，" 格    蕾    特   ， 反    正    烤    鸡    已    经    被    你    吃    过    了   ， 不    如    痛    痛    快    快    地    再    喝    上    一    口   ， 然    后    把    整    只    鸡    都    吃    掉   。 只    有    吃    完    你    才    会    安    心   。 何    必    白    白    浪    费    上    帝    的    恩    赐    呢   ！" 所    以    她    又    跑    到    地    窖    痛    痛    快    快    地    喝    了    一    气   ， 然    后    快    快    活    活    地    把    整    只    鸡    都    吃    掉    了   。 这    时    主    人    还    是    没    回    来   ， 格    蕾    特    的    眼    睛    盯    上    了    另    一    只    鸡   ， 说   ：" 一    只    鸡    在    哪    儿   ， 另    一    只    也    该    在    那    儿   ， 两    个    应    该    在    一    起    嘛   ！ 既    然    吃    了    一    只   ， 再    吃    一    只    也    没    什    么    错   。 我    想    再    来    一    大    口    酒    对    我    没    什    么    坏    处   。" 便    又    喝    完    一    杯    酒   ， 然    后    让    另    一    只    鸡    也    跟    着    第    一    只    去    了   。

 正    当    格    蕾    特    吃    得    高    兴    的    时    候   ， 主    人    回    来    了   ， 冲    她    喊    道   ：" 快   ， 客    人    随    后    就    到    了   。"" 好    的   ， 先    生   ， 我    这    就    端    上    来   。" 格    蕾    特    回    答    说   。 这    时    主    人    进    来    看    桌    子    有    没    有    摆    好   ， 而    且    拿    了    一    把    大    餐    刀    来   ， 在    楼    梯    上    磨    了    磨   ， 打    算    切    鸡   。 不    久   ， 客    人    来    了   ， 很    有    礼    貌    地    轻    轻    敲    了    敲    门   。 格    蕾    特    跑    去    看    是    谁   ， 一    看    是    客    人   ， 赶    忙    将    食    指    竖    在    嘴    上    示    意    他    不    要    出    声   ， 悄    声    说   ：" 嘘   ！ 嘘   ！ 快    跑    吧   ， 如    果    让    我    主    人    抓    住    你    就    倒    霉    了   。 他    是    邀    你    来    吃    晚    饭   ， 可    他    真    实    的    目    的    是    要    切    下    你    的    两    只    耳    朵   。 你    听   ， 他    正    在    使    劲    磨    刀    呢   ！" 客    人    确    实    听    到    了    磨    刀    声   ， 赶    忙    朝    楼    下    跑   。 格    蕾    特    也    不    闲    着   ， 冲    着    主    人    大    叫   ：" 你    请    的    客    人    太    好    了   ！"" 为    什    么    这    么    说   ？ 什    么    意    思   ？"" 我    正    端    着    烤    鸡    要    上    桌   ， 他    抢    了    就    跑   ！"" 真    是    高    招   ！" 她    主    人    说   ， 心    里    为    两    只    鸡    感    到    挺    可    惜   。" 留    下    一    只    也    行    啊   ， 我    也    就    有    得    吃    了   。" 于    是    他    追    出    来   ， 喊   ：" 留    下    一    只   ， 就    一    只   ！" 意    思    是    说    让    客    人    留    下    一    只    烤    鸡   ， 别    两    只    都    拿    走   。 可    客    人    听    了    以    为    是    让    他    留    下    一    只    耳    朵   ， 于    是    更    加    拼    命    地    往    家    跑   ， 好    将    两    只    耳    朵    带    回    家   。
