背    囊   、 帽    子    和    号    角   

 从    前    有    兄    弟    三    人   ， 他    们    的    家    境    每    况    愈    下   ， 最    后    竟    穷    得    连    一    点    吃    的    东    西    都    没    有    了   ， 只    好    忍    饥    挨    饿   。 于    是   ， 有    一    天   ， 他    们    说   ：" 我    们    不    能    再    这    样    下    去    了   ， 还    不    如    到    外    面    的    世    界    去    碰    碰    运    气    哩   ！"

 他    们    果    真    上    了    路   ， 走    过    了    一    条    又    一    条    道    路   ， 穿    过    了    一    片    又    一    片    草    地   ， 去    了    很    多    很    多    的    地    方   ， 可    还    是    没    有    碰    上    好    运   。

 一    天   ， 他    们    来    到    一    片    大    森    林    里   。 在    森    林    的    中    间   ， 他    们    发    现    了    一    座    山   。 他    们    走    近    一    看   ， 原    来    那    座    山    竟    全    是    由    银    子    堆    积    而    成    的    银    山   。 于    是   ， 老    大    说   ：" 这    下    我    可    找    到    我    想    要    的    好    运    啦   ， 我    不    再    奢    望    更    多    的    东    西    了   。" 说    罢   ， 他    便    尽    自    己    最    大    的    力    气    搬    了    一    大    堆    银    子   ， 转    身    独    自    回    家    去    了   。 另    外    两    兄    弟    却    说   ：" 我    们    所    希    望    的    好    运    并    不    光    是    银    子    哩   。" 于    是   ， 他    们    碰    都    没    碰    一    下    那    成    堆    的    银    子   ， 便    又    继    续    往    前    赶    路   。 他    们    一    连    走    了    两    天   ， 来    到    了    一    座    堆    满    金    子    的    小    山    前   。 这    时   ， 老    二    停    下    脚    步   ， 想    了    想   ， 一    时    还    拿    不    定    主    意   。" 怎    么    办    呢   ？" 他    说   ：" 我    是    该    拿    上    够    我    享    用    一    辈    子    的    金    子    回    家    去    呢   ， 还    是    继    续    往    前    走    呢   ？" 终    于   ， 他    下    定    决    心   ， 把    口    袋    里    装    满    金    子   ， 然    后    向    弟    弟    道    了    别   ， 也    自    个    儿    回    家    去    了   。

 可    是    老    三    却    说   ：" 银    子    也    罢   ， 金    子    也    罢   ， 都    不    能    令    我    动    心   。 我    不    会    放    弃    任    何    追    求    幸    福    的    机    会   ， 说    不    定    我    会    得    到    比    金    子   、 银    子    更    好    的    东    西   。" 于    是   ， 他    继    续    往    前    赶    路   ， 又    一    连    走    了    三    天   ， 终    于    来    到    一    片    森    林    里   。 这    片    森    林    比    前    面    经    过    的    任    何    一    片    森    林    都    要    大   ， 好    一    片    无    边    无    际    的    大    森    林   ！ 可    是    在    这    儿    他    却    找    不    到    任    何    可    以    充    饥    的    东    西   ， 他    现    在    几    乎    已    是    精    疲    力    尽    了   ， 于    是   ， 他    爬    上    一    棵    大    树   ， 想    看    看    站    到    树    上    是    否    能    见    到    森    林    的    尽    头   ， 可    是    那    森    林    还    是    一    眼    望    不    到    边   ， 除    了    无    数    的    树    梢   ， 其    它    什    么    也    看    不    见   。 他    又    只    好    爬    下    树    来   ， 可    他    实    在    是    饿    得    发    慌    了   。 这    时   ， 他    想   ：" 要    是    能    让    我    再    饱    饱    地    吃    上    一    顿    就    好    了   ！" 谁    知    他    刚    一    着    地   ， 就    惊    异    地    发    现    树    下    正    放    着    一    张    桌    子   ， 桌    子    上    摆    满    了    丰    盛    的    食    物   ， 阵    阵    热    气    正    向    他    迎    面    扑    来   。" 这    下    我    的    愿    望    总    算    是    及    时    得    到    了    满    足   ！" 说    着   ， 他    也    不    去    想    那    些    食    物    是    谁    送    来    的   ， 或    是    谁    烧    的   ， 就    站    到    桌    旁    大    吃    了    起    来   ， 直    到    完    全    吃    饱   。 之    后   ， 他    想   ：" 让    这    么    漂    亮    的    桌    布    在    森    林    里    糟    蹋    掉   ， 真    是    太    可    惜    了   ！" 于    是    他    就    把    它    整    整    齐    齐    地    叠    好   ， 放    进    口    袋   ， 又    继    续    往    前    赶    路   。 到    了    傍    晚   ， 他    又    觉    得    饿    了    起    来   ， 就    试    着    把    那    块    桌    布    铺    开   ， 说   ：" 我    真    希    望    你    能    再    摆    上    一    些    好    吃    的   ！" 话    刚    一    出    口   ， 只    见    那    桌    布    的    每    一    块    地    方    都    摆    满    了    极    其    精    美    的    食    物   。" 现    在    我    可    知    道    我    的    饭    是    从    哪    里    来    的    啦   。" 他    自    言    自    语    地    说    道   ：" 我    不    稀    罕    什    么    银    山   、 金    山   ， 却    宁    肯    要    你   ！" 因    为    他    很    清    楚   ， 这    是    一    张    如    意    桌    布   。 可    是    这    块    桌    布    还    不    足    以    让    他    安    居    乐    业   ， 他    还    要    继    续    周    游    世    界   ， 再    去    碰    一    碰    自    己    的    运    气   。

 一    天    傍    晚   ， 在    一    片    荒    无    人    烟    的    大    森    林    里   ， 他    遇    到    了    一    个    正    在    烧    木    炭    的    满    身    黑    灰    的    烧    炭    佬   ， 只    见    那    烧    炭    佬    的    木    炭    旁    还    烤    着    一    些    准    备    当    晚    餐    用    的    马    铃    薯   。" 晚    上    好   ， 黑    乌    鸦   ，" 小    伙    子    说    道   ：" 你    孤    零    零    地    一    个    人    怎    么    生    活    呀   ？"

" 每    天    都    一    样   ，" 烧    炭    佬    回    答    说   ，" 每    晚    都    吃    马    铃    薯   。 我    招    待    你    吃    一    顿   ， 怎    么    样   ？"" 非    常    感    谢   ，" 旅    行    者    说   ，" 我    可    不    愿    抢    走    你    的    晚    饭   ， 你    并    没    想    到    会    来    客    人   。 不    过   ， 要    是    你    愿    意   ， 我    倒    想    邀    请    你    和    我    一    起    吃    饭    哩   。"

" 可    是    有    谁    来    替    你    弄    饭    呢   ？" 烧    炭    佬    问    道   ，" 我    看    你    什    么    都    没    带   ， 方    圆    几    里    内    没    有    任    何    人    会    给    你    送    来    食    物   。"" 即    便    是    这    样   ， 我    们    还    是    有    饭    吃   。" 他    回    答    道   ，" 而    且    那    还    是    你    从    来    没    有    尝    过    的    可    口    美    味    哩   ！" 说    着   ， 他    便    从    自    己    的    行    囊    中    取    出    那    块    桌    布   ， 铺    在    地    上   ， 然    后    说   ：" 小    桌    布   ， 快    上    菜   ！" 转    眼    之    间   ， 桌    布    上    便    摆    满    了    各    种    烧    肉    和    烤    肉   ， 而    且    样    样    都    是    热    气    腾    腾   ， 就    像    刚    从    厨    房    里    端    上    来    的    一    样   。 烧    炭    佬    惊    异    得    张    大    了    眼    睛   ， 却    也    不    等    主    人    再    邀    请   ， 便    动    手    吃    了    起    来   。 他    把    大    块    大    块    的    肉    直    往    他    那    黑    洞    洞    的    嘴    里    塞   。 当    他    俩    把    食    物    全    都    一    扫    而    光    之    后   ， 烧    炭    佬    笑    了    笑    说   ：" 听    着   ， 你    的    这    块    桌    布    很    合    我    的    意   ， 在    这    座    森    林    里   ， 没    有    任    何    人    替    我    烧    好    吃    的   ， 而    它    对    我    正    合    适   。 我    想    和    你    交    换    一    下   。 你    瞧   ， 那    边    角    落    里    挂    着    一    只    士    兵    用    的    背    囊   ， 它    虽    然    又    破    又    不    起    眼   ， 却    有    着    神    奇    的    魔    力   。 反    正    我    再    也    用    不    着    了   ， 所    以    我    想    象    它    来    换    你    的    桌    布   。"

" 那    我    得    先    知    道    它    有    些    什    么    魔    力   。" 小    伙    子    说   。

" 这    我    可    以    告    诉    你   。" 烧    炭    佬    回    答    说   ，" 你    只    要    用    手    在    上    面    拍    打    拍    打   ， 每    拍    一    次   ， 就    会    出    来    一    名    军    官    和    六    个    士    兵   ， 他    们    全    都    全    副    武    装   ， 并    且    你    让    他    们    干    什    么   ， 他    们    就    会    干    什    么   。"" 我    无    所    谓   ，" 小    伙    子    回    答    道   ，" 如    果    你    一    定    要    换   ， 那    就    换    吧   。" 说    完   ， 他    便    把    桌    布    递    给    烧    炭    佬   ， 然    后    从    挂    钩    上    取    下    那    个    背    囊   ， 挎    在    肩    上   ， 就    向    烧    炭    佬    道    了    别   ， 继    续    上    路    了   。 他    走    了    没    多    远   ， 就    想    试    试    那    个    背    囊    的    魔    力   ， 便    在    上    面    拍    了    拍   。 在    他    面    前    立    刻    出    现    了    七    个    勇    士   ， 那    为    头    的    说   ：" 我    的    主    人   ， 您    有    何    吩    咐   ？"" 快    速    跑    到    烧    炭    佬    那    儿    去    把    我    的    如    意    桌    布    取    回    来   ！" 于    是   ， 勇    士    们    便    向    左    跑    去   ， 不    一    会    儿   ， 他    们    就    从    烧    炭    佬    那    儿    把    他    的    桌    布    拿    来    还    给    了    小    伙    子   。 然    后   ， 他    就    命    令    他    们    退    下   ， 自    己    又    继    续    往    前    赶    路   ， 希    望    一    路    上    能    碰    上    更    好    的    运    气   。 太    阳    落    山    的    时    候   ， 他    又    碰    到    了    另    一    个    烧    炭    佬   。 那    烧    炭    佬    正    在    火    旁    做    晚    饭   。" 你    要    是    愿    意    和    我    一    块    儿    吃    盐    煮    马    铃    薯   ，" 这    黑    家    伙    说   ，" 那    就    请    坐    下    吧   ， 只    可    惜    没    有    油   。"

" 不   ，" 小    伙    子    回    答    说   ，" 这    次    让    我    来    请    你    吧   。" 说    着   ， 他    就    铺    开    桌    布   ， 上    面    即    刻    就    摆    满    了    许    多    美    味    佳    肴   。 他    们    一    起    尽    情    地    大    吃    了    一    顿   ， 开    心    极    了   。 吃    完    饭   ， 烧    炭    佬    说   ：" 在    那    边    的    搁    板    上    放    着    一    顶    破    帽    子   ， 它    有    着    神    奇    的    力    量   ， 只    要    你    把    它    戴    起    来   ， 在    头    上    转    一    转   ， 就    会    有    十    二    门    大    炮    一    齐    开    火   。 它    们    可    以    摧    毁    任    何    东    西   ， 没    有    谁    能    抵    挡    得    住   。 这    帽    子    对    我    已    经    毫    无    用    处   ， 我    想    拿    它    换    你    的    桌    布   。"

" 很    好   。" 小    伙    子    边    说    边    拿    起    帽    子    戴    在    头    上   ， 然    后    把    桌    布    留    给    了    烧    炭    佬   。 可    他    走    了    没    多    远   ， 就    又    拍    了    拍    他    的    背    囊   ， 命    令    士    兵    们    又    为    他    取    回    了    那    块    桌    布   。" 好    事    一    件    接    着    一    件   ，" 他    想   ，" 看    样    子    我    还    会    走    好    运    哩   ！" 正    如    他    所    想    的    那    样   ， 他    走    了    一    天    之    后   ， 又    遇    到    了    第    三    个    烧    炭    佬   。 他    也    和    前    面    两    个    烧    炭    佬    一    样   ， 邀    请    小    伙    子    吃    他    那    没    放    油    的    马    铃    薯   。 可    小    伙    子    却    让    他    与    自    己    一    起    享    用    如    意    桌    布    上    的    美    味   。 烧    炭    佬    太    喜    欢    这    块    桌    布    了   ， 最    后    便    提    出    要    用    一    只    号    角    来    换    他    的    桌    布   。 而    这    只    号    角    有    与    那    顶    帽    子    完    全    不    同    的    魔    力   。 只    要    一    吹    它   ， 所    有    的    墙    垣   、 堡    垒    连    同    城    市    和    村    庄   ， 都    会    纷    纷    坍    塌    下    来   ， 变    成    一    片    废    墟   。 小    伙    子    立    刻    用    自    己    的    桌    布    与    烧    炭    佬    交    换    了    他    的    号    角   。 可    是    不    久   ， 他    又    派    士    兵    去    把    桌    布    要    了    回    来   。 就    这    样   ， 最    后    背    囊   、 帽    子    和    号    角    这    三    样    东    西    全    都    归    他    一    人    所    有    了   。" 这    下    行    啦   ，" 他    说   ，" 我    也    该    回    去    看    看    我    那    两    个    哥    哥    过    得    怎    么    样    了   。"

 他    回    到    家    中   ， 看    到    两    个    哥    哥    已    经    用    它    们    的    银    子    和    金    子    造    了    非    常    漂    亮    的    房    子   ， 过    着    富    足    的    生    活   。 当    他    前    去    看    望    他    们    时   ， 由    于    他    身    上    穿    着    破    外    套   ， 头    上    戴    着    顶    旧    帽    子   ， 背    上    还    背    着    个    烂    行    囊   ， 他    们    便    不    但    不    认    他    是    自    己    的    弟    弟   ， 还    嘲    笑    他    说   ：" 你    自    称    是    我    们    那    瞧    不    起    金    子    银    子   、 而    要    寻    找    更    大    的    幸    福    的    弟    弟   ， 那    你    就    肯    定    会    像    一    位    凯    旋    的    国    王    一    样    衣    锦    荣    归   ， 怎    么    倒    成    了    个    叫    花    子    呢   ？" 说    着   ， 他    们    就    把    他    赶    出    了    家    门   。 听    了    他    们    这    番    话   ， 他    勃    然    大    怒   ， 接    二    连    三    地    拍    打    着    他    的    背    囊   ， 直    至    在    他    面    前    整    整    齐    齐    地    排    列    出    一    百    五    十    个    全    副    武    装    的    士    兵   。 然    后   ， 他    命    令    这    些    士    兵    把    他    那    两    个    目    空    一    切    的    哥    哥    抽    打    了    一    顿   ， 直    打    得    他    们    认    识    他    是    谁    为    止   。 邻    居    们    听    见    喧    闹    跑    了    过    来   ， 想    要    帮    助    那    两    个    处    在    困    境    中    的    哥    哥   ， 可    是    他    们    却    对    付    不    了    那    些    士    兵    们   。 消    息    最    终    传    到    了    国    王    那    里   ， 国    王    听    了   ， 非    常    生    气   ， 便    命    令    一    个    队    长    带    着    他    的    士    兵    们    前    去    把    这    个    捣    乱    的    家    伙    赶    出    城    去   。 谁    知    这    个    背    着    行    囊    的    小    伙    子    却    召    来    了    更    多    的    士    兵   ， 把    那    个    队    长    和    他    的    士    兵    们    一    个    个    都    打    得    鼻    青    脸    肿   ， 狼    狈    而    逃   。 于    是   ， 国    王    说   ：" 得    好    好    地    治    一    治    那    个    流    浪    汉   ！" 第    二    天   ， 他    又    派    去    了    一    支    更    强    大    的    军    队   ， 可    是    他    们    的    下    场    也    好    不    到    哪    儿    去   。 那    年    轻    人    不    仅    派    了    更    多    的    士    兵    去    对    付    他    们   ， 而    且    为    了    尽    快    取    胜    还    一    连    转    了    两    下    头    上    的    帽    子   ， 于    是    大    炮    齐    鸣   ， 直    打    得    国    王    的    士    兵    们    仓    皇    逃    窜   。" 现    在    我    绝    不    和    国    王    讲    和   ，" 小    伙    子    说   ，" 除    非    他    把    他    的    女    儿    嫁    给    我   ， 并    让    我    继    承    他    的    王    位   。" 然    后   ， 他    派    人    把    自    己    的    要    求    告    知    了    国    王   ， 国    王    便    对    自    己    的    女    儿    说   ：" 这    是    个    不    得    不    吞    的    苦    果   。 除    了    接    受    他    的    要    求    之    外   ， 我    还    有    什    么    办    法    呢   ？ 要    想    得    到    和    平   ， 保    住    头    上    的    王    冠   ， 我    不    得    不    委    屈    你    啦   ！"

 于    是   ， 小    伙    子    和    公    主    就    举    行    了    婚    礼   。 可    是    公    主    很    不    满    意   ， 因    为    她    的    丈    夫    是    个    头    上    戴    着    破    帽    子   ， 背    上    背    着    个    旧    行    囊    的    平    民   。 于    是   ， 她    整    日    整    夜    地    寻    思    着    自    己    如    何    才    能    除    掉    他   。 突    然   ， 她    灵    机    一    动   ， 心    想   ：" 莫    非    他    那    神    奇    的    力    量    就    藏    在    他    的    旧    背    囊    里    吧   ？" 于    是   ， 她    就    假    装    对    他    十    分    亲    热   ， 等    他    心    软    了   ， 她    便    说   ：" 你    真    该    把    那    个    破    背    囊    取    下    来    才    是    呵   ， 它    让    你    太    难    看    了   ， 连    我    都    为    你    感    到    害    臊    呐   ！"" 不   ， 宝    贝   ，" 他    回    答    说   ，" 这    个    背    囊    是    我    最    重    要    的    宝    物   ， 有    了    它   ， 我    就    不    怕    世    界    上    的    任    何    人   。" 接    着    他    就    把    背    囊    的    魔    力    告    诉    了    公    主   。 公    主    听    了    便    一    头    扑    到    他    的    怀    里   ， 装    出    要    吻    他    的    样    子   ， 可    是    她    却    巧    妙    她    把    背    囊    从    他    的    肩    上    取    了    下    来   ， 拎    着    它    飞    快    地    逃    走    了   。 当    他    不    再    追    来    时   ， 她    便    拍    打    那    个    背    囊   ， 命    令    士    兵    们    去    抓    住    他    们    以    前    的    主    人   ， 并    把    他    赶    出    王    宫   。 士    兵    们    遵    命    而    去   ， 那    个    不    忠    的    妻    子    还    派    了    更    多    的    士    兵    去    追    赶    他   ， 直    到    把    他    赶    出    城    去    才    罢    休   。 要    是    他    没    有    那    顶    小    帽    子   ， 那    他    可    就    真    完    了   ， 当    时    他    的    手    一    被    松    开   ， 便    转    了    两    下    头    上    的    帽    子   ， 于    是    大    炮    齐    鸣   ， 转    瞬    之    间    便    轰    倒    了    所    有    的    士    兵   。 公    主    只    得    亲    自    跑    来    求    饶   ， 由    于    她    说    得    那    么    恳    切   ， 又    保    证    改    过    自    新   ， 他    被    她    的    虚    情    假    意    打    动    了   ， 便    同    意    与    她    和    解   。 于    是    她    就    装    出    对    他    挺    友    好    的    样    子   ， 似    乎    她    已    非    常    爱    他   。 可    是    过    了    不    久   ． 她    又    迷    住    了    他    的    心    窍   ， 让    他    透    露    出    即    使    有    人    夺    走    了    他    的    背    囊   ， 只    要    他    还    有    他    的    帽    子   ， 那    别    人    还    是    奈    何    他    不    得    的    秘    密   。 当    公    主    知    道    这    个    秘    密    后   ， 便    等    他    睡    着    时   ， 悄    悄    摘    下    了    他    的    帽    子   ， 并    派    人    把    他    扔    到    街    上   。 幸    亏    他    还    有    那    只    号    角    哩   ！ 一    气    之    下   ， 他    便    拼    命    地    吹    了    起    来   ， 顷    刻    之    间   ， 所    有    的    墙    垣   、 堡    垒   、 城    市    和    村    庄    都    纷    纷    倒    塌    了    下    来   ， 把    国    王    和    公    主    全    都    给    砸    死    了   。 如    果    他    没    有    放    下    号    角   ， 再    多    吹    那    么    一    下    子   ， 那    么    整    个    王    国    都    会    坍    塌   ， 变    成    一    片    废    墟   。 就    这    样   ， 再    也    没    有    谁    对    付    得    了    他    了   ， 于    是    他    便    成    了    统    治    整    个    王    国    的    君    主   。
