金    山    王   

 古    时    候   ， 有    一    个    商    人    的    两    只    船    载    满    了    货    物   ， 正    从    海    上    航    行    归    来   。 他    的    全    部    财    产    都    投    到    这    两    只    船    上    了   ， 希    望    能    赚    更    多    的    钱   。 但    不    幸    的    消    息    传    来    说    它    们    都    在    海    上    失    踪    了   ， 所    以    他    一    下    子    由    一    个    有    钱    的    人    变    成    了    一    个    非    常    贫    穷    的    人   ， 除    了    剩    下    的    一    小    块    土    地   ， 他    已    一    无    所    有   。 商    人    有    一    儿    一    女   ， 两    个    小    孩    都    还    很    小   ， 还    不    能    离    家    到    外    面    去    玩    耍   。 为    了    排    遣    心    中    的    忧    愁    和    烦    恼   ， 商    人    经    常    去    那    块    土    地    上    散    心   。

 一    天   ， 他    正    独    自    在    那    儿    徘    徊   ， 一    个    毛    茸    茸    的    小    矮    人    站    在    了    他    面    前   。 小    矮    人    问    他    为    什    么    这    么    悲    伤   ， 是    什    么    事    使    得    他    心    情    如    此    沉    重   。 商    人    回    答    说   ：" 要    是    你    能    给    我    一    些    帮    助   ， 我    就    告    诉    你   。"" 谁    知    道    呢   ？ 说    不    定    只    有    我    能    帮    助    你   ，" 小    矮    人    说    道   ，" 告    诉    我   ， 到    底    是    怎    么    回    事   ， 也    许    我    能    为    你    做    点    什    么   。" 于    是   ， 商    人    告    诉    小    矮    人    说    他    的    全    部    财    产    都    沉    到    了    海    底   ， 他    现    在    已    成    了    一    个    穷    光    蛋   ， 除    了    这    一    小    块    土    地    外   ， 他    已    一    无    所    有    了   。 听    完    之    后   ， 小    矮    人    说    道   ：" 嗨   ！ 这    有    什    么    可    烦    恼    的   。 你    只    要    答    应    我   ， 在    十    二    年    后   ， 把    你    今    日    回    家    时    所    遇    到    的    第    一    件    东    西    送    到    这    里    给    我   ， 我    就    送    给    你    许    多    许    多    的    金    子   ， 让    你    心    满    意    足   。" 商    人    心    想   ， 这    并    不    是    什    么    大    的    要    求   ， 最    有    可    能    遇    到    的    是    他    的    狗   ， 也    可    能    是    其    它    某    种    东    西   ， 却    并    没    有    想    到    可    能    会    遇    到    自    己    的    小    孩   ， 所    以    他    同    意    了    这    约    定   ， 并    按    要    求    签    字    画    押   ， 完    成    了    交    易   。

 但    是    当    商    人    回    家    快    要    进    屋    时   ， 他    的    小    儿    子    看    到    了    他   ， 小    家    伙    非    常    高    兴   ， 从    房    间    后    面    爬    上    前    来   ， 牢    牢    地    抱    住    了    他    的    腿   。 父    亲    吃    了    一    惊   ， 到    这    时   ， 他    才    开    始    担    心    起    来   ， 才    意    识    到    自    己    做    了    些    什    么   ， 才    知    道    自    己    已    经    被    自    己    所    做    的    交    易    给    套    住    了   。 不    过    他    并    没    有    得    到    金    子   ， 于    是    就    自    己    安    慰    自    己   ， 心    想    这    也    许    只    是    小    矮    人    戏    弄    他   ， 不    过    是    与    他    开    了    一    个    玩    笑    而    已   。 一    个    月    过    去    了   。 一    天   ， 他    上    楼    到    一    个    堆    废    旧    破    烂    的    房    子    去    找    一    些    废    铁   ， 准    备    卖    掉    换    回    几    个    钱    来    用   ， 可    他    在    楼    板    上    看    到    的    竟    是    一    大    堆    金    子   ， 他    欣    喜    万    分   ， 又    开    始    重    操    旧    业   ， 开    始    经    商   。 慢    慢    地    他    变    得    越    来    越    富    有   ， 成    了    比    以    前    更    有    名    的    商    人   。

 随    着    岁    月    的    流    逝   ， 他    的    儿    子    长    大    了   ， 十    二    年    的    期    限    也    快    要    到    了   ， 商    人    非    常    忧    虑   ， 变    得    心    事    重    重   ， 烦    恼    和    懊    悔    就    像    写    在    脸    上    一    样   。 一    天   ， 儿    子    问    他    出    了    什    么    事   ， 父    亲    闭    着    嘴    不    肯    吐    露    真    情   。 最    后   ， 经    不    住    儿    子    的    反    复    询    问   ， 他    将    一    切    都    告    诉    了    儿    子   ： 自    己    当    初    与    一    个    丑    陋    的    小    矮    人    订    了    一    个    交    易   ， 因    为    没    有    料    到    回    家    首    先    遇    见    的    是    自    己    的    儿    子   ， 结    果    成    了    用    儿    子    换    大    量    金    子    的    交    易   。 十    二    年    就    要    到    了   ， 他    必    须    按    照    协    定    来    执    行   ， 但    自    己    又    不    愿    把    儿    子    送    去   ， 所    以    才    一    天    到    晚    愁    眉    苦    脸   。 听    了    父    亲    的    话   ， 儿    子    说    道   ：" 爸    爸   ， 你    用    不    着    为    这    件    事    而    烦    恼   ， 我    自    会    对    小    矮    人    有    所    交    待    的   。"

 到    了    小    矮    人    约    定    的    日    子   ， 父    子    俩    一    起    前    往    指    定    的    地    方   ， 儿    子    在    地    上    画    了    一    个    圆    圈   ， 自    己    和    父    亲    都    站    在    圆    圈    中    间   。 不    一    会    小    矮    人    来    了   ， 他    对    商    人    说   ：" 你    答    应    我    的    东    西    带    来    了    吗   ？" 商    人    没    有    做    声   ， 但    他    儿    子    回    答    道   ：" 你    要    什    么    东    西   ？" 小    矮    人    说   ：" 我    来    这    儿    是    和    你    父    亲    谈    话   ， 不    是    与    你    谈    话   。" 儿    子    说   ：" 你    用    心    计    欺    骗    了    我    爸    爸   ， 你    应    该    放    弃    你    们    的    协    约   。" 小    矮    人    回    答    说   ：" 不    行   ， 我    不    会    放    弃    我    的    权    力   。" 他    们    就    这    样    争    辩    了    很    久   ， 最    后    双    方    都    同    意   ， 把    这    个    儿    子    放    进    一    条    敞    篷    小    船    里   ， 先    让    船    紧    靠    在    河    岸    边   ， 由    父    亲    亲    手    把    船    推    开   ， 任    由    载    着    他    的    船    自    己    去    漂    流   。 商    量    完    毕   ， 儿    子    向    父    亲    告    别   ， 自    己    上    了    船   ， 船    被    推    开    了   ， 它    摇    晃    着    向    河    中    漂    去   。 由    于    摇    摆    幅    度    太    大   ， 船    竟    翻    了    过    去   。 商    人    认    为    自    己    的    儿    子    已    经    淹    死   ， 怀    着    悲    痛    的    心    情    回    家    去    了   。

 但    是    那    条    船    并    没    有    沉    下    去   ， 它    仍    然    平    稳    地    漂    流    在    水    面    上   ， 尽    管    船    翻    了   ， 少    年    躲    在    船    里    面    同    样    很    安    全   。 他    漂    呀   ！ 漂    呀   ！ 最    后    船    漂    到    一    块    陌    生    的    地    方    搁    浅    了   。 发    现    船    不    动    了   ， 少    年    潜    出    水    面   ， 登    上    河    岸   ， 看    到    眼    前    是    一    座    漂    亮    气    派    的    城    堡   。 他    走    进    去    才    发    现    许    多    房    屋    都    是    空    的   ， 整    座    城    堡    空    无    一    人   ， 显    得    很    凄    凉   。 然    而   ， 他    并    不    知    道    这    是    一    座    被    人    施    了    魔    法    的    城    堡   ， 最    后   ， 他    终    于    在    一    间    房    子    里    发    现    了    一    条    白    蛇   。

 这    条    白    蛇    是    一    个    被    施    了    魔    法    的    公    主   ， 她    看    见    他    来    了    非    常    高    兴   ， 说    道   ：" 我    的    救    星   ， 你    终    于    来    了    吗   ？ 我    等    你    等    了    十    二    年    之    久   ！ 因    为    只    有    你    才    能    解    救    我   。 今    天    晚    上   ， 有    十    二    个    人    要    来   ， 这    些    人    脸    色    漆    黑   ， 脖    子    上    带    着    铁    链   。 他    们    会    问    你    到    这    儿    来    干    什    么   ， 你    要    一    声    不    吭   ， 不    管    他    们    如    何    待    你   -- 或    打    你    或    折    磨    你   ， 你    都    要    忍    着   ， 千    万    别    说    一    个    字   ， 到    十    二    点    钟    他    们    就    会    离    去   。 第    二    天    晚    上   ， 又    会    来    另    外    十    二    个    人   ， 第    三    天    晚    上    又    会    来    二    十    四    个    人   ， 他    们    甚    至    会    砍    下    你    的    头   ， 但    一    到    晚    上    十    二    点   ， 他    们    的    魔    力    就    会    消    失   ， 我    也    就    恢    复    自    由    了   ， 到    那    时   ， 我    会    给    你    带    来    生    命    之    水   ， 还    你    一    个    活    泼    健    康    的    身    体   。" 少    年    答    应    了    她    的    要    求   。 接    连    发    生    的    一    切    都    如    白    蛇    所    说    的    一    样   。 商    人    的    儿    子    没    有    说    一    个    字   。 第    三    个    晚    上   ， 公    主    变    回    了    人    形   ， 她    来    到    他    面    前    救    活    了    他   ， 又    亲    吻    着    他   ， 整    个    城    堡    里    便    充    满    了    欢    声    和    笑    语   。 他    俩    举    行    了    隆    重    的    结    婚    庆    典   ， 少    年    当    上    了    金    山    王   。

 结    婚    后   ， 他    们    在    一    起    生    活    非    常    幸    福   ， 王    后    还    生    了    一    个    儿    子   。 八    年    过    去    了   ， 金    山    王    想    起    了    自    己    的    父    亲   ， 心    情    不    能    平    静    下    来   ， 他    渴    望    再    次    见    到    他    的    父    亲   ， 可    王    后    不    让    他    去   ， 说    道   ：" 我    知    道    会    有    不    幸    发    生    的   。" 可    他    仍    坚    持    要    去   ， 这    闹    得    王    后    终    日    寝    食    不    安   ， 王    后    没    办    法   ， 只    好    同    意    了   。 临    别    之    际   ， 王    后    送    给    他    一    只    如    意    戒    指    说   ：" 拿    着    这    个    戒    指   ， 戴    在    你    的    手    指    上   ， 无    论    你    想    要    什    么    时   ， 它    都    会    带    给    你    的   。 但    你    要    答    应    我   ， 千    万    不    可    用    这    个    戒    指    把    我    带    到    你    父    亲    面    前   。" 金    山    王    答    应    了    她    的    要    求   ， 将    戒    指    戴    在    手    指    上   ， 接    着    他    发    愿    希    望    自    己    能    马    上    到    父    亲    生    活    的    城    市    附    近   ， 一    刹    那    间   ， 他    发    现    自    己    已    经    站    在    了    老    家    的    城    门    口   。 卫    兵    见    他    穿    着    非    常    奇    怪    的    衣    裳   ， 不    让    他    进    城   ， 他    只    好    爬    上    附    近    的    一    座    山    头   ， 找    到    一    户    牧    羊    人   ， 向    房    东    借    了    一    件    旧    外    套    穿    在    身    上   ， 才    顺    利    地    进    了    城   。

 他    来    到    父    亲    的    家    里    见    到    了    父    亲   ， 并    向    他    说    明    自    己    是    他    的    儿    子   ， 商    人    却    不    相    信    他    的    话   。 他    说    他    确    实    有    过    一    个    儿    子   ， 但    儿    子    在    多    年    前    已    经    死    去   。 看    见    他    的    衣    着    就    像    是    一    个    贫    穷    的    牧    羊    人   ， 商    人    甚    至    连    一    点    东    西    也    不    拿    给    他    吃   。 金    山    王    坚    持    称    自    己    是    他    的    儿    子   ， 说    道   ：" 如    果    我    没    有    你    儿    子    身    上    你    们    所    熟    悉    的    特    有    标    记   ， 你    们    不    认    我    也    不    迟    嘛   。" 他    母    亲    插    上    来    说   ：" 对   ， 对   ！ 我    儿    子    的    右    臂    下    有    一    块    像    山    莓    样    的    胎    记   。" 于    是   ， 金    山    王    马    上    把    右    臂    下    的    胎    记    给    他    们    看   ， 他    们    这    才    相    信    他    所    说    的    是    实    话   。 接    着    他    告    诉    父    母    自    己    现    在    是    金    山    王   ， 并    和    一    位    公    主    结    了    婚   ， 还    有    了    一    个    七    岁    的    儿    子   。 他    父    亲    却    说    道   ：" 这    不    可    能    是    真    的   ， 一    个    英    俊    的    国    王    是    不    可    能    穿    着    牧    羊    人    的    外    套    外    出    旅    行    的   。" 听    到    这    话   ， 儿    子    很    气    恼   ， 竟    忘    了    他    对    王    后    的    承    诺   ， 转    过    戒    指   ， 发    愿    希    望    自    己    的    王    后    和    儿    子    都    来    这    儿   。 一    刹    那    间   ， 他    们    都    站    在    了    他    的    面    前   ， 但    王    后    却    哭    泣    着    说    他    违    背    了    自    己    的    诺    言   ， 不    幸    很    快    就    会    降    临   。 他    尽    量    地    安    慰    她   ， 劝    了    一    会    儿   ， 王    后    表    面    看    起    来    似    乎    已    经    平    静    下    来   ， 但    实    际    上    她    已    心    存    芥    蒂   ， 而    且    正    考    虑    着    如    何    采    取    报    复    的    手    段   。

 一    天   ， 金    山    王    带    着    王    后    一    起    出    城    到    了    商    人    的    那    块    地    头   。 他    指    给    她    看    那    块    地   ， 看    翻    船    的    地    方   ， 看    船    漂    流    的    宽    阔    水    面   。 走    着    走    着   ， 他    在    岸    边    坐    了    下    来   ， 说    道   ：" 我    太    累    了   ， 挨    着    我    坐    下    吧   ， 让    我    的    头    枕    在    你    的    腿    上    休    息    一    下   ， 睡    一    会    儿    觉   。" 公    主    依    言    坐    下   ， 他    很    快    就    睡    着    了   。 但    这    时    公    主    却    趁    机    把    他    手    指    上    的    戒    指    取    了    下    来   ， 又    慢    慢    地    抽    出    身    来   。 接    着   ， 她    发    愿    希    望    自    己    和    儿    子    马    上    都    回    到    自    己    王    国    的    家    里   ， 她    如    愿    以    偿    了   。

 金    山    王    醒    来    后   ， 发    现    只    有    自    己    一    人    孤    零    零    地    躺    在    地    上   ， 妻    子    不    见    了   ， 手    指    上    的    戒    指    也    已    不    知    去    向   。 他    自    言    自    语    说    道   ：" 我    还    有    什    么    脸    面    回    去    见    我    父    亲    呢   ？ 他    们    会    说    我    是    一    个    巫    师   ， 看    来    我    只    有    向    前    走    了   ， 我    要    回    到    自    己    的    王    国    去   。" 说    罢   ， 他    直    接    动    身    上    路    了   。 他    走    呀   ， 不    停    地    走    呀   ！ 一    天    来    到    了    一    座    山    边   ， 看    见    有    三    个    巨    人    正    在    分    遗    产   。 巨    人    们    看    到    他    走    过    去   ， 忙    叫    住    他    说    道   ：" 小    人    儿    头    脑    灵    活    聪    明   ， 请    你    来    为    我    们    分    配    这    遗    产    吧   。" 他    一    了    解   ， 原    来    他    们    的    遗    产    是    三    样    宝    物   ： 第    一    件    是    一    把    宝    刀   ， 拿    着    这    把    宝    刀    只    要    说    一    声   " 砍    下    他    的    头   ！" 敌    人    的    头    就    会    被    砍    下    来   ； 第    二    件    是    一    件    披    风   ， 披    在    身    上    后   ， 除    了    自    己    以    外   ， 任    何    人    都    看    不    到    自    己   ， 并    且    想    变    什    么    就    变    什    么   ； 第    三    件    是    一    双    鞋    子   ， 穿    上    鞋    子    后   ， 你    想    到    什    么    地    方   ， 它    马    上    可    以    带    你    到    那    个    地    方   。 金    山    王    眼    珠    一    转   ， 说    他    们    应    该    让    他    先    试    一    试    这    三    件    东    西    到    底    是    不    是    有    这    样    奇    妙   ， 试    过    了    之    后    才    可    能    知    道    它    们    的    价    值   ， 才    好    为    他    们    公    平    分    配   。 于    是    他    们    先    给    他    试    披    风   ， 他    穿    上    后    希    望    自    己    能    变    成    一    只    苍    蝇   ， 刚    发    过    愿   ， 他    就    真    的    变    成    了    一    只    苍    蝇   。 试    过    后    他    说    道   ：" 这    件    披    风    是    很    灵    的   ， 现    在    把    宝    刀    给    我    试    一    试   。"" 不    行   ！" 他    们    说   ，" 除    非    你    答    应    我    们    不    说   ' 砍    下    他    的    头   '， 要    不    然    我    们    把    刀    给    你    后   ， 你    一    念    咒    语   ， 我    们    岂    不    都    变    成    死    人    了   。" 金    山    王    说    好   ， 他    拿    刀    来    试    一    试    旁    边    的    那    棵    小    树   ， 看    看    这    刀    的    威    力   。 他    拿    着    刀    试    过    之    后    又    要    试    那    双    鞋   ， 他    们    只    好    把    鞋    也    递    给    了    他   。 这    一    来   ， 三    件    宝    物    都    到    了    他    手    中   ， 他    发    了    一    个    愿   ， 希    望    自    己    此    时    能    到    金    山    国    去   ， 一    眨    眼   ， 他    就    到    了    那    里   。 那    几    个    巨    人    怔    在    当    地   ， 争    了    老    半    天   ， 结    果    什    么    遗    产    也    没    有    分    到   。

 当    金    山    王    来    到    金    山    国    城    堡    附    近    时   ， 他    听    到    的    尽    是    喜    庆    的    音    乐    和    欢    快    的    笑    声   。 周    围    的    人    们    告    诉    他   ， 王    后    就    要    与    另    一    个    王    子    举    行    结    婚    盛    典    了   。 听    到    这    些   ， 他    非    常    气    愤   ， 马    上    披    上    披    风   ， 走    进    城    堡   ， 来    到    了    王    后    身    边   ， 没    有    人    能    看    见    他   。 他    要    捉    弄    王    后   ， 所    以   ， 每    当    有    仆    人    把    吃    的    东    西    放    到    王    后    的    盘    子    上    时   ， 他    就    把    那    些    东    西    拿    起    来    吃    掉   。 当    仆    人    端    给    王    后    一    杯    葡    萄    酒    时   ， 他    也    接    过    来    喝    掉   。 因    此   ， 尽    管    不    断    有    人    给    她    送    来    吃    的    和    喝    的   ， 但    她    的    盘    子    却    始    终    是    空    的   。

 到    了    这    时   ， 王    后    才    感    到    恐    惧   ， 才    有    了    懊    悔    之    意   ， 她    走    到    自    己    的    房    间   ， 伤    心    地    哭    了    起    来   。 金    山    王    跟    着    她    来    到    了    房    间    里   ， 听    到    她    自    言    自    语    地    说    道   ：" 老    天    呀   ！ 难    到    救    我    的    人    还    没    有    来    吗   ？

 为    什    么    魔    法    还    在    缠    着    我    呢   ？"

" 你    这    个    女    骗    子   ！" 他    说    道   ：" 救    你    的    人    实    际    上    已    经    来    了   ， 现    在    就    在    你    旁    边   ， 他    这    不    是    在    惩    罚    你    吗   ？" 说    完   ， 他    脱    下    披    风   ， 现    出    原    形   ， 走    出    去    要    遣    散    大    伙   ， 说    婚    典    结    束    了   ， 他    这    个    国    王    已    经    回    来    了   ， 但    那    些    王    公    贵    族    和    顾    问    们    都    嘲    笑    他   。 他    走    进    他    们    中    间    没    有    和    他    们    多    说   ， 只    是    问    他    们    是    安    安    静    静    地    自    己    离    去   ， 还    是    不   。 这    些    人    都    很    势    利   ， 平    时    也    凶    霸    惯    了   ， 他    们    不    仅    不    离    去   ， 而    且    还    转    过    身    来    要    抓    他   。 他    便    抽    出    宝    刀   ， 念    了    一    句    咒    语   ， 那    些    叛    逆    之    人    的    头    就    都    落    在    了    他    的    面    前   。 一    切    结    束    后   ， 他    又    成    了    金    山    王   。
