少    女    和    狮    子   

 从    前   ， 有    一    个    商    人    准    备    出    门    作    一    次    短    途    旅    行   。 他    有    三    个    女    儿   ， 出    门    前   ， 他    问    他    的    女    儿    们    想    要    自    己    给    她    们    带    什    么    礼    物    回    来   。 大    女    儿    说    她    想    要    珍    珠   ， 二    女    儿    说    想    要    宝    石   ， 但    小    女    儿    却    说    道   ：" 亲    爱    的    爸    爸   ， 给    我    带    一    枝    玫    瑰    花    来    吧   。" 当    时    正    是    冬    天    寒    冷    时    节   ， 要    买    到    玫    瑰    花    可    以    说    是    一    件    不    可    能    的    事   。 爸    爸    知    道    这    个    最    漂    亮    的    女    儿    对    花    儿    情    有    独    钟   ， 所    以   ， 他    还    是    答    应    她    尽    一    切    努    力    为    她    带    一    枝    玫    瑰    花    回    来   。 亲    吻    了    三    个    女    儿    之    后   ， 父    亲    告    别    她    们    出    发    了   。

 当    商    人    返    程    回    家    时   ， 他    为    二    个    大    女    儿    买    到    了    他    们    所    要    的    珍    珠    和    宝    石   ， 可    不    管    他    到    哪    个    地    方   ， 要    想    为    小    女    儿    找    到    玫    瑰    花    却    是    白    费    气    力   。 当    他    到    各    地    的    花    园    寻    求    玫    瑰    花    时   ， 人    们    都    嘲    笑    他   ， 问    他    是    不    是    认    为    玫    瑰    花    是    在    冬    天    里    生    长    开    花    的   。 受    到    嘲    弄   ， 他    感    到    很    伤    心   ， 但    为    了    他    那    最    可    爱    的    小    女    儿   ， 他    并    不    在    乎   ， 心    里    仍    然    想    着    回    去    该    给    她    带    点    什    么    东    西   。 最    后    他    来    到    了    一    座    美    丽    的    城    堡   ， 城    堡    四    周    都    被    花    园    环    绕    着   。 非    常    奇    特    的    是    花    园    一    半    似    乎    是    春    暖    花    开    的    季    节   ， 另    一    半    却    是    严    冬    的    景    象   ； 一    边    是    满    园    最    美    丽    的    鲜    花    竞    相    开    放   ， 一    边    是    花    草    荒    芜   ， 白    雪    覆    盖   。 商    人    不    由    得    对    他    的    仆    人    说   ：" 啊   ！ 真    是    太    幸    运    了   ！" 说    完   ， 就    让    仆    人    到    玫    瑰    花    圃    那    儿    去    为    他    采    一    枝    玫    瑰    花   。 拿    到    了    玫    瑰    花   ， 他    们    格    外    高    兴   ， 正    准    备    离    开    时   ， 一    头    凶    猛    的    狮    子    跳    了    出    来   ， 咆    哮    着    说    道   ：" 无    论    是    谁    敢    偷    摘    我    的    玫    瑰    花   ， 我    就    要    吃    掉    谁   。" 商    人    吓    坏    了   ， 他    战    战    兢    兢    地    说    道   ：" 我    不    知    道    这    花    园    是    属    于    你    的   ， 有    什    么    办    法    能    救    我    一    命    吗   ？" 狮    子    说    道   ：" 不    能   ！ 没    有    什    么    办    法    能    救    你   ， 除    非    你    答    应    把    你    回    家    时    最    先    看    到    的    东    西    送    给    我   。 如    果    你    同    意    这    个    条    件   ， 我    就    不    吃    你   ， 连    玫    瑰    花    也    送    给    你    的    女    儿   。" 但    商    人    不    愿    意    答    应    这    条    件   ， 他    说    道   ：" 我    的    小    女    儿    最    爱    我   ， 每    次    回    家    她    总    是    最    先    跑    出    来    迎    接    我   ， 我    回    家    最    先    遇    到    的    可    能    正    是    我    的    小    女    儿   。" 此    时   ， 他    的    仆    人    吓    得    不    得    了   ， 说    道   ：" 也    许    最    先    遇    见    的    是    一    只    猫   ， 或    者    是    一    只    狗   。" 最    后   ， 商    人    怀    着    一    种    侥    幸    的    心    理    和    沉    重    的    心    情   ， 被    迫    同    意    了   。 他    拿    着    玫    瑰    花   ， 答    应    狮    子    把    他    回    去    时    最    先    遇    到    的    东    西    送    来   。

 就    在    商    人    回    到    家    门    前    时   ， 他    那    最    小    最    可    爱    的    女    儿    首    先    看    到    了    他   ， 马    下    飞    跑    出    屋   ， 迎    上    前    来    用    亲    吻    欢    迎    他    的    归    来   。 她    看    到    他    带    回    给    她    的    玫    瑰    花    时   ， 更    加    兴    高    采    烈    起    来   。 但    她    的    爸    爸    心    情    却    开    始    忧    愁    起    来   ， 悲    叹    着    说    道   ：" 天    哪   ！ 我    最    亲    爱    的    孩    子   ！ 这    朵    花    是    我    用    高    价    买    来    的   ， 为    了    它   ， 我    已    经    答    应    把    你    送    给    一    头    凶    猛    的    狮    子    了   。 它    得    到    你    时   ， 一    定    会    把    你    撕    成    碎    片   ， 然    后    将    你    吃    掉   。" 说    完   ， 把    事    情    的    经    过    都    告    诉    了    她   ， 说    准    备    让    她    不    去   ， 最    终    的    结    果    会    怎    样    就    听    天    由    命    吧   。

 但    她    女    儿    听    了    之    后   ， 安    慰    他    说   ：" 亲    爱    的    爸    爸   ， 你    必    须    履    行    自    己    的    诺    言   。 我    要    到    狮    子    那    儿    去   ， 并    设    法    驯    化    它   ， 它    也    许    会    让    我    安    然    无    恙    地    回    家    来    的   。"

 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 她    问    清    楚    去    路   ， 告    别    了    父    亲   ， 大    胆    地    踏    进    了    森    林   。 其    实   ， 那    头    狮    子    是    一    个    被    施    了    魔    法    的    王    子   ， 在    大    白    天   ， 他    和    他    的    大    臣    们    都    被    变    成    狮    子    的    形    象   ， 到    了    晚    上    又    一    起    变    回    正    常    人    的    样    子   。 当    这    位    少    女    来    到    城    堡    时   ， 狮    子    非    常    有    礼    貌    地    迎    接    她    的    到    来   ， 并    向    少    女    求    婚   ， 少    女    同    意    了    他    的    请    求   。 盛    大    的    结    婚    宴    会    举    行    之    后   ， 他    们    在    一    起    幸    福    地    生    活    了    很    长    一    段    日    子   。 每    当    夜    晚    降    临   ， 王    子    就    来    了   ， 他    召    集    大    臣    进    见   、 和    她    相    会   ， 但    天    一    亮    就    离    开    新    娘   ， 独    自    而    去   ， 她    不    知    道    他    去    了    哪    儿   ， 但    每    到    夜    晚    他    又    会    回    来   ， 天    天    都    是    这    样   。

 有    天   ， 王    子    对    她    说   ：" 明    天    你    的    大    姐    姐    结    婚   ， 你    爸    爸    要    在    家    里    举    行    一    个    盛    大    的    喜    庆    宴    会   ， 如    果    你    想    去    看    看    他    们   ， 我    就    让    我    的    狮    子    带    你    去    那    里   。" 这    对    时    时    刻    刻    都    想    去    看    看    父    亲    的    她    来    说   ， 真    是    太    高    兴    了   。 第    二    天    她    和    狮    子    们    一    道    出    发    了   ， 每    个    看    到    她    的    人    都    格    外    的    高    兴   。 因    为    他    们    认    为    她    被    狮    子    咬    死    已    经    很    久    了   ， 现    在    又    看    到    她    回    来    觉    得    真    不    容    易   。 她    告    诉    他    们    自    己    现    在    生    活    得    很    幸    福   。 她    在    家    一    直    待    到    婚    宴    结    束    才    返    回    森    林    里    去   。

 不    久   ， 二    姐    又    要    结    婚    了   ， 她    也    被    邀    请    去    参    加    结    婚    典    礼   。 她    对    王    子    说   ：" 这    次    你    必    须    和    我    一    同    前    往   ， 我    一    个    人    是    不    会    去    的   。" 但    他    不    同    意   ， 说    这    是    一    件    非    常    危    险    的    事    情   ， 因    为    只    要    有    一    丝    灯    火    的    光    照    着    他   ， 他    身    上    的    魔    法    就    会    更    加    邪    恶   ， 他    会    被    变    成    一    只    鸽    子   ， 要    被    迫    在    世    间    到    处    飞    行    七    年   。 可    她    却    不    答    应   ， 还    说    她    会    细    心    照    料   ， 不    会    让    一    丝    灯    火    的    光    线    照    到    他    身    上    的   。 最    后    他    俩    一    起    出    发    了   ， 还    带    上    了    他    们    的    孩    子   。 到    家    后   ， 她    选    择    了    一    间    墙    壁    很    厚    的    大    厅   ， 让    他    待    在    里    面   。 但    不    幸    的    是    厅    门    之    上    有    一    条    裂    缝   ， 谁    也    没    有    发    现   。

 盛    大    的    婚    礼    举    行    了   ， 就    在    结    婚    队    伍    从    教    堂    返    回    经    过    这    座    大    厅    时   ， 队    伍    里    举    着    的    火    炬    有    一    丝    光    线    从    厅    门    的    裂    缝    射    进    了    大    厅   ， 正    好    照    在    王    子    的    身    上   。 刹    那    间   ， 王    子    消    失    了   ， 等    他    妻    子    进    来    找    他    时   ， 只    发    现    一    只    白    色    的    鸽    子   。 他    对    她    说   ：" 我    必    须    在    世    界    各    地    到    处    飞    行    七    年   ， 而    且    时    常    会    掉    落    一    根    白    色    的    羽    毛   ， 那    是    我    给    你    指    出    我    去    的    方    向   ， 你    跟    着    它   ， 最    终    就    会    追    上    我   ， 从    而    解    救    我   ， 让    我    获    得    自    由    之    身   。"

 说    完   ， 他    飞    出    了    大    门   ， 她    紧    跟    着    鸽    子    毫    不    犹    豫    地    追    去   。 他    飞    啊   ！ 不    停    地    飞   ！ 她    追    啊   ！ 不    停    地    追   ！ 在    天    地    之    间    的    广    阔    世    界    里   ， 她    循    着    他    不    时    掉    落    的    白    色    羽    毛    指    引    之    路   ， 勇    往    直    前   ； 她    心    身    合    一   ， 对    世    间    万    事    不    闻    不    问   ， 决    不    旁    顾   ； 她    也    不    休    息   ， 不    睡    觉   。 整    整    七    年    终    于    就    要    过    去    了   ， 她    心    情    开    始    兴    奋    起    来   ， 以    为    一    切    艰    难    困    苦    和    烦    恼    忧    愁    都    会    随    着    七    年    的    到    来    而    结    束   。 然    而   ， 现    实    却    将    她    们    美    好    的    希    望    击    得    粉    碎   ： 一    天   ， 她    正    在    路    上    追    寻    着   ， 却    怎    么    找    也    找    不    着    白    色    羽    毛    了   。 她    抬    眼    在    天    空    搜    寻   ， 别    说    是    白    鸽   ， 就    连    鸟    的    影    子    都    没    看    到   。" 老    天    爷   --，" 她    长    叹    一    声   ，" 没    有    人    能    帮    助    我    了   ！"

 她    迎    着    太    阳    走    去   ， 对    着    太    阳    说    道   ：" 太    阳    啊   ！ 你    的    光    辉    普    照    在    大    地    之    上   ， 你    俯    视    着    群    山   、 峡    谷   ， 你    可    曾    看    见    过    一    只    白    鸽    吗   ？"" 没    有   ！" 太    阳    真    的    说    话    了   ，" 我    没    有    看    见    白    鸽   ， 但    我    送    给    你    一    个    小    匣    子   ， 在    你    最    需    要    帮    助    时    就    打    开    它   。" 她    很    感    激    地    向    太    阳    道    谢    之    后   ， 继    续    寻    找    着    白    鸽    的    踪    迹   。

 随    着    夜    幕    的    降    临   ， 月    亮    慢    慢    地    升    起    来    了   ， 看    到    月    光    映    着    大    地   ， 她    对    着    月    亮    大    声    喊    道   ：" 月    亮    啊   ！ 你    的    清    辉    整    夜    照    映    在    山    川    田    野    之    上   ， 你    可    曾    看    见    过    一    只    白    鸽    吗   ？"" 没    有   ！" 月    亮    真    的    说    话    了   ，" 我    帮    不    了    你    的    忙   ， 但    我    送    给    你    一    只    鸡    蛋   ， 在    你    最    需    要    之    时    就    打    碎    它   。" 她    真    诚    地    向    月    亮    道    谢    之    后   ， 又    继    续    寻    找    着    白    鸽    的    踪    迹   。

 晚    风    吹    拂    过    来   ， 吹    到    她    身    边    时   ， 她    大    声    说    道   ：" 晚    风    啊   ！ 你    穿    过    树    林   ， 拂    过    林    梢   ， 摇    动    着    树    叶   ， 你    可    曾    看    见    过    一    只    白    鸽    吗   ？"" 没    有   ！" 晚    风    真    的    说    话    了   ，" 但    我    可    以    问    问    其    它    的    风    儿   ， 它    们    也    许    看    见    过   。" 东    风    和    西    风    来    了   ， 它    们    都    说    没    有    看    见    白    鸽   ， 但    南    风    却    说    道   ：" 我    看    见    过    这    只    白    鸽   ， 他    飞    到    红    海    去    了   。 因    为    七    年    已    经    过    去   ， 他    变    成    了    一    只    狮    子   。 此    刻    他    正    在    和    一    条    飞    龙    搏    斗   ， 那    条    龙    是    一    个    被    施    了    魔    法    的    公    主   ， 她    想    把    你    和    他    分    开    呢   。" 听    到    这    消    息    后   ， 晚    风    说    道   ：" 我    告    诉    你    一    个    诀    窍   ， 你    到    红    海    去   ， 靠    右    边    的    岸    上    有    一    排    柳    树    枝   ， 你    按    顺    序    数    过    去   ， 数    到    第    十    一    枝    时   ， 将    它    折    断   ， 然    后    用    柳    树    枝    去    抽    打    那    条    龙   ， 狮    子    就    会    赢    得    胜    利   。 他    们    两    个    也    会    变    回    人    的    样    子    出    现    在    你    面    前   ， 千    万    记    住   ， 你    要    立    即    上    前    挽    着    你    心    爱    的    王    子    动    身    回    家   。"

 于    是   ， 这    可    怜    的    人    儿    又    踏    上    了    追    寻    之    路   ， 来    到    了    红    海   。 一    切    正    如    晚    风    所    说    的    一    样   ， 她    拔    下    第    十    一    棵    柳    树    枝   ， 用    力    抽    打    那    条    飞    龙   。 刹    那    间   ， 狮    子    变    成    了    王    子   ， 飞    龙    也    变    成    了    一    位    公    主   。 惊    喜    之    下   ， 她    竟    把    晚    风    给    她    的    告    诫    忘    了   ， 结    果    让    那    个    公    主    看    准    机    会   ， 用    手    臂    挽    着    王    子   ， 带    着    他    离    去    了   。

 这    位    远    道    而    来    的    不    幸    女    人    又    被    抛    弃    了   ， 孤    独    凄    凉    又    伴    随    着    她   。 但    是   ， 她    没    有    气    馁   ， 仍    然    鼓    足    勇    气    说    道   ：" 我    要    继    续    追    寻    他   ， 只    要    是    风    能    吹    到    的    地    方   ， 有    公    鸡    啼    叫    的    地    方   ， 哪    怕    是    天    涯    海    角   ， 我    也    去    寻    找   ， 一    定    要    再    次    找    到    他    为    止   。" 她    又    开    始    了    艰    难    的    跋    涉   。

 功    夫    不    负    有    心    人   ， 她    终    于    来    到    了    一    座    城    堡   ， 王    子    正    是    被    公    主    带    到    了    这    里   。 看    来    这    儿    正    筹    备    着    一    个    宴    会   ， 她    向    路    人    一    打    听   ， 原    来    是    要    举    行    一    个    结    婚    宴    会   。" 啊   ！ 上    帝    保    佑    我   ！" 她    说    道   。 然    后    拿    出    太    阳    送    给    她    的    小    匣    子   ， 打    开    一    看   ， 里    面    放    着    的    是    一    套    闪    烁    着    阳    光    般    光    彩    的    令    人    眩    目    的    礼    服   。 她    穿    上    礼    服   ， 走    进    了    王    宫   ， 所    有    的    人    都    把    目    光    移    到    了    她    身    上   。 新    娘    看    见    她    穿    的    礼    服   ， 非    常    羡    慕   ， 问    她    是    否    愿    意    出    卖   ， 她    回    答    说   ：" 金    子    和    银    子    是    买    不    到    的   ， 除    非    用    血    和    肉    才    能    换    取   。" 公    主    不    懂    她    的    话   ， 问    她    是    什    么    意    思   ， 她    说   ：" 今    天    晚    上   ， 让    我    在    新    郎    的    房    内    和    他    谈    一    次    话   ， 我    就    把    这    礼    服    送    给    你   。" 公    主    最    后    同    意    了   。 但    她    吩    咐    她    的    仆    人    给    王    子    喝    一    杯    安    眠    药    水   ， 让    他    既    不    可    能    听    到    这    个    女    人    说    话   ， 也    不    可    能    看    到    她   。

 到    了    晚    上   ， 王    子    睡    着    了   ， 她    被    带    到    他    的    房    间    里   。 她    在    他    靠    近    脚    的    一    头    坐    下    说    道   ：" 我    追    寻    你    有    七    年    了   ， 太    阳   、 月    亮   、 晚    风    都    帮    我    寻    找    你   ， 最    后    我    帮    你    战    胜    了    飞    龙   ， 难    道    你    就    把    我    完    全    给    忘    了    吗   ？" 可    惜    王    子    此    时    睡    得    正    香   ， 她    的    话    传    到    他    耳    朵    里   ， 迷    迷    糊    糊    就    好    像    是    风    拂    过    杉    树    的    沙    沙    声    响   。

 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 她    被    带    了    出    去   ， 无    可    奈    何    之    下   ， 只    得    交    出    了    那    件    金    光    闪    闪    的    礼    服   。 看    到    自    己    的    努    力    竟    毫    无    结    果   ， 她    走    出    王    宫   ， 伤    心    得    跑    到    外    面    的    草    地    上    便    瘫    了    下    来   ， 失    声    痛    哭   。 坐    了    一    会    儿   ， 她    想    起    了    月    亮    送    给    自    己    的    那    个    鸡    蛋   ， 马    上    将    蛋    拿    出    来    打    碎   ， 从    蛋    里    面    立    即    跑    出    一    只    纯    金    的    母    鸡    和    十    二    只    纯    金    的    小    鸡   。 它    们    一    出    壳    就    在    四    周    唧    唧    地    闹    着    玩    耍    起    来   ， 又    依    偎    在    母    鸡    的    翅    膀    下    面   ， 构    成    了    一    幅    世    间    最    美    的    画    卷   。 看    着    这    群    美    丽    可    爱    的    金    鸡   ， 她    站    起    来    极    不    情    愿    地    赶    着    它    们    向    王    宫    走    去   。 听    到    小    鸡    诱    人    的    叫    声   ， 新    娘    从    窗    户    里    探    出    头    来    看    到    了    可    爱    的    鸡    群   ， 便    兴    奋    地    跑    出    来   ， 问    她    是    不    是    愿    意    出    卖    这    群    金    鸡   。" 金    子    和    银    子    是    买    不    到    的   ， 除    非    用    血    和    肉    才    能    换    取   。" 公    主    又    想    和    昨    天    一    样    来    欺    骗    她   ， 就    答    应    了    她    的    要    求   。

 但    公    主    没    有    料    到   ， 晚    上    王    子    来    到    房    间    里    时   ， 他    问    仆    人    为    什    么    昨    晚    风    吹    得    沙    沙    地    响   。 仆    人    心    虚   ， 只    好    把    一    切    都    告    诉    了    王    子   ： 他    如    何    给    王    子    服    安    眠    药    水   ， 而    一    个    可    怜    的    少    妇    来    到    王    子    的    房    间    里    对    他    诉    说    不    止   ， 他    却    在    呼    呼    大    睡   ， 今    晚    她    还    要    来    这    儿    等    等   。 王    子    听    过    之    后   ， 小    心    翼    翼    地    倒    掉    了    安    眠    药    水   ， 睡    在    了    床    上   。 待    那    少    妇    到    来    又    开    始    向    他    诉    说    自    己    的    悲    哀    与    不    幸   、 诉    说    自    己    对    他    的    爱    是    多    么    的    忠    贞    不    移    时   ， 他    听    出    了    这    是    他    心    爱    的    妻    子    的    声    音   。 他    一    下    子    跳    了    起    来   ， 说    道   ：" 啊   ！ 你    把    我    从    梦    魇    中    唤    醒    了   ， 因    为    我    被    这    个    陌    生    的    公    主    用    咒    语    迷    住   ， 完    全    把    你    忘    记    了   ， 在    这    幸    福    的    时    刻   ， 我    要    感    谢    上    帝    又    把    你    送    回    到    我    的    身    边   。"

 他    们    害    怕    被    公    主    发    现   ， 于    是   ， 趁    着    黑    夜    悄    悄    地    逃    出    王    宫   ， 夜    以    兼    程    地    向    自    己    的    家    园    赶    去   。 他    们    终    于    又    见    到    了    自    己    的    孩    子    了   ， 孩    子    已    经    长    大   ， 看    起    来    真    是    神    采    飘    逸   ， 俊    美    非    常   ， 人    见    人    爱   。 一    家    人    终    于    又    团    聚    在    一    起    了   ， 他    们    消    除    了    魔    障   ， 过    上    了    正    常    人    的    幸    福    生    活   ， 一    辈    子    再    也    没    有    分    离    过   。
