壮    士    汉    斯   

 从    前    有    一    对    夫    妇   ， 他    们    只    有    一    个    独    生    儿    子   ， 这    家    子    单    独    住    在    一    个    偏    僻    的    山    谷    里   。 一    次    女    人    带    着    年    仅    两    岁    的    汉    斯   ， 到    林    间    去    拾    冷    杉    枝   。 因    为    此    时    正    是    春    暖    花    开    的    时    候   ， 他    们    看    见    五    颜    六    色    的    花    正    高    兴   ， 突    然    丛    林    中    跳    出    了    两    个    强    盗   ， 掳    走    了    母    亲    和    孩    子   ， 带    着    他    们    朝    着    森    林    的    黑    暗    深    处    走    去   ， 那    儿    多    年    没    人    进    去    了   。 那    可    怜    的    女    人    苦    苦    哀    求    强    盗    放    走    她    们    母    子    俩   ， 可    强    盗    们    是    铁    石    心    肠   ， 根    本    不    听    她    的    哀    求   ， 只    管    用    力    地    赶    着    他    们    往    前    走   。 大    约    两    小    时    后   ， 他    们    来    到    了    一    座    有    门    的    岩    壁    前   ， 强    盗    们    敲    了    敲    门   ， 门    就    开    了   。 他    们    走    过    一    条    长    长    的    暗    道   ， 最    后    来    到    一    个    大    洞    里   ， 那    洞    被    炉    火    照    得    如    同    白    昼   。 只    见    四    周    的    墙    壁    上    挂    着    刀    剑    和    别    的    凶    器   ， 在    炉    光    的    照    射    下    闪    着    寒    光   。 中    间    摆    着    黑    桌    子   ， 桌    旁    另    有    四    个    强    盗    坐    在    那    儿    赌    博   ， 上    首    那    人    就    是    他    们    的    头    儿   。 他    看    见    女    人    走    来   ， 便    走    过    来    和    她    搭    话   ， 叫    她    别    害    怕   ， 说    只    管    放    心   ， 他    们    不    会    伤    害    她   ， 但    她    必    须    管    理    家    务   ， 如    果    她    把    一    切    都    弄    得    有    条    有    理   ， 他    们    是    不    会    亏    待    她    的   。 随    后    他    给    她    吃    一    些    东    西   ， 又    指    给    她    看    她    和    孩    子    的    床   。

 女    人    在    强    盗    窝    里    一    过    就    是    许    多    年   ， 汉    斯    现    在    已    渐    渐    长    大    强    壮    了   。 母    亲    给    他    讲    故    事   ， 叫    他    念    一    本    在    洞    里    找    到    的    破    旧    骑    士    书   。 汉    斯    九    岁    时   ， 他    用    松    木    枝    做    了    根    结    实    的    棍    子   ， 把    它    藏    在    床    后   ， 然    后    去    问    母    亲   ：" 娘   ， 现    在    请    你    告    诉    我   ， 谁    是    我    的    爹   ， 我    很    想    知    道   。！" 母    亲    默    不    作    声   ， 不    肯    向    他    说    什    么   ， 免    得    他    患    相    思    病   ， 她    知    道    那    些    无    法    无    天    的    强    盗    是    决    不    会    放    走    汉    斯    的   ， 但    想    到    汉    斯    不    能    回    到    他    爹    身    边    去   ， 她    的    心    都    快    碎    了   。 晚    上   ， 强    盗    们    抢    劫    回    来    时   ， 汉    斯    就    拿    出    他    的    棍    子   ， 走    到    强    盗    头    儿    跟    前    说   ：" 现    在    我    要    知    道    谁    是    我    的    爹   ， 如    果    不    立    刻    告    诉    我   ， 我    就    要    把    你    打    死   。" 强    盗    头    儿    一    听    哈    哈    大    笑   ， 给    了    汉    斯    一    个    耳    光   ， 打    得    他    滚    到    了    桌    子    底    下   。 汉    斯    爬    了    起    来   ， 没    有    说    话   ， 心    想   ：" 我    要    再    等    一    年   ， 到    时    我    要    再    试    试   ， 或    许    会    好    些   。" 一    年    又    过    去    了   ， 他    又    拿    出    了    那    根    棍    子   ， 抹    掉    上    面    的    灰    尘   ， 仔    细    瞧    了    瞧   ， 说   ：" 这    是    根    挺    结    实    有    力    的    棍    子   。" 晚    上   ， 强    盗    们    回    来    了   ， 一    坛    接    一    坛    地    喝    酒   ， 然    后    一    个    个    都    醉    得    低    下    了    头   。 这    时    汉    斯    拿    出    了    棍    子   ， 走    到    强    盗    头    子    的    跟    前   ， 问    他    爹    是    谁   。 强    盗    头    儿    只    给    他    一    个    耳    光   ， 又    打    得    他    滚    下    了    桌    子   。 但    没    过    久   ， 他    又    爬    了    起    来   ， 抡    起    棍    子    就    给    头    儿    和    其    他    的    强    盗    一    顿    痛    打   ， 打    得    他    们    手    脚    不    能    动    弹   。 母    亲    站    在    角    落    里   ， 看    到    他    是    这    样    的    勇    猛    强    壮   ， 满    脸    惊    讶   。 汉    斯    打    完    强    盗   ， 就    走    到    母    亲    跟    前   ， 说   ：" 现    在    我    该    办    正    事    了   ， 但    我    现    在    想    知    道   ， 谁    是    我    的    爹   。"" 亲    爱    的    汉    斯   ， 来   ， 我    们    这    就    去    找   ， 一    定    要    把    他    找    到   。" 她    取    下    了    头    儿    开    门    的    钥    匙   ， 汉    斯    又    去    找    了    一    个    大    面    粉    袋   ， 装    了    满    满    一    袋    金    银    财    宝   ， 扛    在    肩    上   ， 他    们    便    离    开    了    山    洞   。 汉    斯    从    黑    暗    的    洞    中    走    到    太    阳    里   ， 展    现    在    他    眼    前    的    是    那    绿    色    的    森    林   、 无    数    的    鲜    花    和    小    鸟   ， 还    有    天    上    的    朝    阳   ， 他    站    在    那    儿   ， 眼    睛    睁    得    大    大    的   ， 仿    佛    眼    前    的    一    切    是    在    梦    中   。

 母    亲    带    着    他    寻    找    回    家    的    路   ， 几    小    时    后   ， 他    们    终    于    平    平    安    安    地    来    到    了    一    片    寂    寞    的    山    谷    中   ， 他    们    的    小    屋    就    在    眼    前   。 父    亲    正    坐    在    门    前   ， 当    他    认    出    了    自    己    的    妻    子   ， 并    听    说    汉    斯    就    是    自    己    的    儿    子    时   ， 欢    喜    得    哭    了    起    来   ， 他    以    为    他    们    母    子    早    死    了   。 汉    斯    虽    说    只    有    十    二    岁   ， 却    比    父    亲    高    一    个    头   。 他    们    一    齐    回    到    屋    里   ， 汉    斯    刚    把    口    袋    放    在    炉    边    的    长    凳    上   ， 屋    子    就    吱    嘎    摇    晃    起    来    了   ， 凳    也    断    裂    了   。 父    亲    叫    道   ：" 天    啊   ！ 这    是    怎    么    回    事   ， 现    在    你    把    我    的    屋    子    给    打    破    了   。"" 别    担    心   ， 爹   ，" 汉    斯    说   ，" 这    袋    子    里    装    的    东    西   ， 比    造    一    座    新    屋    子    需    要    的    钱    还    多    呢   ！" 父    子    俩    立    刻    动    手    建    新    房   ， 还    买    来    了    牲    口    和    土    地   ， 开    始    经    营    农    庄   。 汉    斯    犁    地   ， 他    走    在    犁    头    后    面   ， 把    犁    深    深    地    按    在    了    土    里   ， 前    面    的    牛    儿    几    乎    都    不    必    拉    了   。

 第    二    年    春    天   ， 汉    斯    对    父    亲    说   ：" 爹   ， 这    些    钱    你    留    着   。 请    给    我    做    根    百    斤    重    的    旅    行    杖   ， 我    要    出    远    门    了   。" 手    杖    做    好    后   ， 汉    斯    便    离    开    了    家   ， 他    走    呀    走   ， 来    到    了    一    座    深    深    的    黑    森    林   。 他    在    那    里    听    到    有    什    么    东    西    在    喀    嚓    作    响   ， 便    向    周    围    看   ， 看    见    一    棵    松    树   ， 从    下    到    上    像    一    根    绳    子    一    样    拧    在    一    起   。 他    再    抬    头    往    上    瞧   ， 看    见    一    个    大    汉    正    抓    住    树    干   ， 把    它    扭    来    扭    去   ， 好    像    那    根    本    不    是    棵    大    树   ， 而    是    根    柳    条   。" 喂   ！ 你    在    上    面    干    什    么   ？" 那    汉    子    说   ：" 我    昨    天    打    了    捆    柴   ， 想    搓    根    绳    子    去    捆    柴   。" 汉    斯    心    想   ：" 他    力    气    倒    挺    大    的   。" 于    是    他    对    汉    子    喊    道   ：" 别    干    这    个    了   ， 跟    我    走    吧   。" 那    汉    子    从    树    上    爬    了    下    来   ， 个    儿    比    汉    斯    还    高    出    整    整    一    个    头   。" 你    就    叫   ' 扭    树    者   ' 好    了   。" 汉    斯    对    他    说   。 他    们    继    续    往    前    走   ， 听    见    什    么    东    西    在    敲    打   ， 每    打    一    下   ， 大    地    都    要    抖    几    抖   。 不    久   ， 他    们    来    到    一    坐    岩    壁    前   ， 只    见    一    个    巨    人    站    在    那    里   ， 正    用    拳    头    把    崖    石    大    块    大    块    地    打    下    来   。 汉    斯    问    他    做    什    么   ， 巨    人    回    答    说   ：" 我    晚    上    睡    觉    时   ， 熊   、 狼    和    其    它    的    猛    兽    老    在    我    身    边    嗅    来    嗅    去   ， 叫    我    不    能    入    睡   ， 所    以    我    想    建    造    间    房    子   ， 晚    上    睡    在    里    面   ， 这    样    才    能    安    宁    些   。" 汉    斯    心    想   ：" 唉   ， 是    的   ， 这    人    你    也    用    得    着   。" 于    是    他    说   ：" 别    造    啦   ， 和    我    们    一    道    走    吧   。 你    就    叫   ' 劈    石    人   ' 好    了   。" 巨    人    答    应    了   ， 便    和    他    们    一    起    走    过    森    林   ， 凡    是    他    们    走    到    的    地    方   ， 野    兽    全    被    吓    住   ， 然    后    从    他    们    身    边    跑    开    了   。 晚    上   ， 他    们    来    到    一    座    古    老    的    无    人    居    住    的    宫    殿    前   ， 走    进    去    睡    在    了    大    厅    里   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 汉    斯    走    进    宫    前    的    花    园    里   ， 发    现    那    儿    全    荒    芜    了   ， 长    满    了    荆    棘    丛   。 他    正    走    来    走    去    时   ， 一    头    野    猪    猛    地    朝    他    冲    来   ， 他    用    手    杖    只    打    了    它    一    下   ， 它    就    马    上    倒    下    了   。 于    是    他    把    野    猪    扛    在    肩    上   ， 带    了    上    去   ， 大    伙    儿    把    野    猪    叉    在    铁    杆    上    烤    着    吃   ， 吃    得    高    兴    极    了   。 他    们    每    天    轮    留    去    打    猎   ， 留    一    人    看    家    做    饭   ， 每    人    每    天    可    以    吃    九    磅    肉   。 第    一    天    扭    树    者    留    在    家    中   ， 汉    斯    和    劈    石    人    去    打    猎   ， 当    扭    树    者    忙    着    做    饭    时   ， 一    个    满    脸    皱    纹    的    小    老    头    走    进    宫    殿   ， 向    他    要    肉    吃   。" 可    恶    的    家    伙   ， 走    开   ， 你    还    想    吃    什    么    肉   ！" 他    回    答    说   。 但    使    他    惊    讶    的    是   ， 那    很    不    起    眼    的    小    人    儿   ， 跳    到    了    扭    树    者    的    身    上   ， 用    拳    头    乱    打    他   ， 他    竟    不    能    抵    抗   ， 最    后    倒    在    上    直    喘    气   。 小    老    头    直    到    完    全    解    了    恨   ， 方    才    离    去   。 另    外    两    个    人    打    猎    回    来   ， 扭    树    者    只    字    不    提    那    个    老    头    和    挨    打    的    事   。 他    心    想   ：" 等    他    俩    呆    在    家    里    的    时    候   ， 也    尝    尝    那    个    好    斗    的    小    老    头    的    厉    害    吧   。" 仅    仅    是    这    想    法    已    经    够    他    乐    一    阵    子    的    了   。

 第    二    天    劈    石    人    留    在    家    里   ， 他    的    遭    遇    跟    扭    树    者    一    模    一    样   ， 因    为    他    不    肯    拿    肉    给    他    吃   ， 结    果    也    被    小    老    头    好    好    地    揍    了    一    顿   。 当    他    们    回    来    时   ， 扭    树    者    当    然    知    道    他    出    了    事   ， 但    他    俩    都    不    做    声   ， 心    想   ：" 让    汉    斯    也    尝    尝    这    滋    味    吧   。"

 第    三    天   ， 轮    到    汉    斯    留    在    家    中    做    饭   ， 他    正    在    厨    房    里    认    真    干    活   ， 站    在    上    面    打    锅    里    的    泡    沫   ， 小    人    儿    来    了   ， 毫    不    客    气    地    要    肉    吃   。 汉    斯    想   ：" 这    是    个    可    怜    的    小    老    头   ， 我    愿    意    从    我    的    那    份    中    分    些    给    他   ， 这    样    也    不    叫    别    人    吃    亏   。" 于    是    他    递    给    了    他    一    块    肉   。 那    矮    子    吃    完    后   ， 又    要    了    一    块   ， 好    心    的    汉    斯    又    给    了    他   ， 并    告    诉    他    这    块    肉    很    好   ， 他    该    满    意    了   。 没    想    到    小    矮    子    又    第    三    次    开    口    要   ，" 你    脸    皮    真    厚   。" 汉    斯    说   ， 就    不    再    给    他    肉    了   。 那    恶    矮    子    就    要    跳    到    汉    斯    的    身    上   ， 像    对    待    扭    树    者    和    劈    石    人    一    样    待    他   ， 但    是    他    找    错    人    了   。 汉    斯    毫    不    费    力    地    给    了    他    几    个    耳    光   ， 打    得    他    滚    下    了    台    级   ， 汉    斯    去    追    他   ， 因    为    人    高    腿    长    的    缘    故   ， 反    而    让    他    给    拌    倒    了   ， 当    他    爬    起    来    时   ， 矮    子    在    他    的    前    面    直    乐   。 汉    斯    一    直    追    到    森    林    里   ， 看    到    他    溜    进    了    一    个    洞    里   。 汉    斯    只    好    回    家    了   ， 不    过    记    住    了    那    个    地    方   。 那    两    人    回    来    时   ， 看    见    汉    斯    安    然    无    恙   ， 都    很    惊    讶   ， 汉    斯    把    发    生    的    一    切    告    诉    了    他    们   ， 于    是    他    们    不    再    隐    瞒    他    们    的    遭    遇   。 汉    斯    笑    道   ：" 都    怪    你    们   ， 谁    叫    你    们    要    如    此    吝    啬    你    们    的    肉   ， 你    们    这    么    大    的    个    儿   ， 却    被    小    人    儿    打    了    一    顿   ， 可    真    是    丢    人   。" 于    是    他    们    三    人    带    上    箩    筐    和    绳    子   ， 朝    小    矮    子    溜    进    去    的    地    洞    走    去   。 他    们    让    汉    斯    坐    在    箩    筐    里   ， 随    身    带    着    棍    子   ， 然    后    把    他    放    进    洞    口   。 汉    斯    下    到    底    后   ， 寻    着    了    一    道    门   ， 他    打    开    了    门   ， 发    现    那    里    坐    着    位    美    丽    如    画    的    少    女   ， 简    直    美    得    无    法    形    容   。 少    女    旁    边    坐    着    那    个    小    矮    子   ， 正    冷    冷    地    瞪    着    汉    斯   ， 那    样    子    就    像    一    只    野    猫   。 少    女    被    锁    链    拴    着   ， 可    怜    巴    巴    地    望    着    汉    斯   ， 这    引    起    了    汉    斯    的    巨    大    同    情    心   。 汉    斯    想   ：" 我    得    把    她    从    这    恶    矮    子    手    上    救    出    来   。" 于    是    他    用    棍    子    打    了    他    一    下   ， 他    就    倒    在    地    上    死    了   。 少    女    身    上    的    锁    链    也    立    刻    松    脱    了   ， 她    告    诉    汉    斯   ， 她    本    是    位    公    主   ， 被    一    个    野    蛮    的    公    爵    掠    了    来   ， 关    在    这    里   。 因    为    她    不    答    应    嫁    给    他   ， 公    爵    让    矮    子    作    看    守    人    看    着    她   ， 她    可    受    够    了    他    的    折    磨   。 随    后    汉    斯    把    少    女    放    进    箩    筐   ， 让    那    两    个    把    他    拉    了    上    去   。 箩    筐    又    放    了    下    来   ， 但    汉    斯    已    不    相    信    那    两    位    同    伴    了   ， 心    想   ：" 他    们    已    经    表    现    得    不    老    实    了   ， 没    有    把    小    矮    子    的    事    情    告    诉    我   ， 谁    知    他    们    安    什    么    心   ？" 于    是    他    只    把    自    己    的    棍    子    放    进    去   。 幸    亏    如    此   ， 因    为    箩    筐    才    吊    到    了    半    空    中   ， 他    们    又    把    它    松    下    来    了   ， 如    果    汉    斯    真    的    坐    在    了    里    面   ， 就    会    摔    个    必    死    无    疑    了   。 汉    斯    被    困    在    洞    中   ， 不    知    怎    样    才    能    从    那    里    爬    出    去   ， 他    想    来    想    去   ， 还    是    想    不    出    个    好    办    法   。 他    于    是    就    走    来    走    去   ， 不    知    不    觉    间    来    到    了    少    女    曾    经    呆    过    的    小    屋   ， 发    现    那    小    矮    人    的    指    头    上    套    着    枚    戒    指   ， 闪    闪    发    光   ， 于    是    他    便    褪    了    下    来   ， 戴    在    自    己    的    手    上   ， 他    然    后    把    戒    指    转    动    了    一    下   ， 突    然    听    到    有    什    么    东    西    在    头    顶    作    响   ， 他    抬    头    一    看   ， 原    来    空    中    有    几    位    神    仙    在    翱    翔   ， 他    们    说   ， 他    是    他    们    的    主    子   ， 问    他    要    干    什    么   ？ 汉    斯    起    先    还    不    作    声   ， 但    很    快    便    吩    咐    他    们    把    自    己    抬    上    去   。 他    们    照    办    了   ， 他    觉    得    自    己    仿    佛    飞    了    起    来   。 但    等    他    到    了    上    面    时   ， 已    不    见    他    们    的    影    儿    了   。 他    又    走    到    宫    殿    里   ， 也    找    不    着    个    人   ， 扭    树    者    和    劈    石    人    都    跑    了   ， 还    带    走    了    那    位    美    丽    的    公    主   。 汉    斯    于    是    又    转    动    戒    指   ， 神    仙    又    来    了   ， 说    那    两    个    人    在    海    上   。 汉    斯    便    不    停    地    跑   ， 一    直    追    到    了    海    边   。 他    在    那    里    朝    远    望    去   ， 发    现    离    岸    边    很    远    的    海    面    上    有    条    小    船   ， 他    的    不    忠    实    的    伙    伴    正    坐    在    里    面   。 汉    斯    气    极    了   ， 不    加    思    索    地    带    着    他    的    棍    子   ， 跳    下    水    中   ， 向    前    方    游    去   。 哪    知    棍    子    实    在    太    重   ， 拖    着    他    直    往    下    沉   ， 几    乎    把    他    淹    死    了   。 于    是    他    赶    紧    转    动    戒    指   ， 眨    眼    间    神    仙    又    来    了   ， 带    着    他    像    闪    电    般    地    靠    近    了    小    船   。 汉    斯    挥    动    棍    子   ， 把    他    们    俩    都    打    落    在    水    里   ， 给    了    那    两    个    家    伙    应    有    的    惩    罚   。 美    丽    的    公    主    刚    才    给    吓    怕    了   ， 汉    斯    再    一    次    救    了    她   ， 摇    着    橹    把    她    送    回    了    她    父    母    家   ， 后    来    和    她    结    了    婚   ， 一    切    皆    大    欢    喜   。
