金    鸟   

 从    前   ， 一    个    国    王    的    美    丽    花    园    里    长    着    一    棵    结    金    苹    果    的    树   ， 每    当    金    苹    果    结    果    时   ， 他    每    天    都    要    去    数    一    遍   。 有    一    年   ， 在    金    苹    果    成    熟    的    时    候   ， 他    发    现    每    过    一    个    晚    上   ， 金    苹    果    都    会    少    一    个   ， 国    王    非    常    恼    怒   ， 令    园    丁    通    宵    达    旦    地    在    树    下    看    守   。 园    丁    先    派    了    他    的    大    儿    子    去    看    守   。 到    了    午    夜    十    二    点    钟   ， 这    个    大    儿    子    睡    着    了   ， 第    二    天    早    晨    发    现    又    少    了    一    个    金    苹    果   。 当    晚   ， 园    丁    又    派    了    他    的    二    儿    子    去    看    守   ， 可    到    了    半    夜   ， 二    儿    子    也    睡    着    了   ， 早    晨    清    点    时    发    现    还    是    少    了    一    个   。 于    是    第    三    个    儿    子    请    求    去    看    守   ， 园    丁    开    始    不    想    让    他    去   ， 担    心    他    去    会    有    危    险   ， 但    最    后    还    是    答    应    了    儿    子    的    请    求   。 晚    上   ， 这    个    年    青    人    躺    在    树    下    小    心    看    守    着   。 时    钟    敲    过    十    二    下    后   ， 他    听    到    空    中    传    来    沙    沙    作    响    的    声    音   ， 仔    细    一    看   ， 原    来    树    上    飞    来    一    只    纯    金    的    鸟    儿   ， 正    在    用    嘴    猛    啄    着    一    个    苹    果   。 园    丁    的    儿    子    马    上    跳    了    起    来   ， 张    弓    搭    箭    向    金    鸟    射    去   ， 箭    并    没    有    射    中   ， 只    把    金    鸟    尾    巴    上    的    金    羽    毛    射    落    了    一    根   ， 金    鸟    飞    走    了   。 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 金    羽    毛    被    送    到    了    国    王    面    前   ， 国    王    马    上    召    集    群    臣    进    行    确    认   。 所    有    大    臣    都    一    致    认    为   ， 这    是    一    根    价    值    连    城    的    金    羽    毛   ， 比    王    国    里    的    所    有    财    富    都    要    值    钱   。 可    国    王    却    说   ：" 一    根    羽    毛    对    我    来    说    毫    无    用    处   ， 我    要    的    是    整    只    金    鸟   。"

 园    丁    的    大    儿    子    听    到    后   ， 认    为    这    是    一    件    很    容    易    的    事   ， 于    是    他    出    发    找    金    鸟    去    了   。 走    了    不    多    远   ， 他    来    到    一    片    树    林    前   ， 看    见    林    边    坐    着    一    只    狐    狸   ， 便    马    上    取    下    弓    箭    准    备    射    杀    它   。 可    那    狐    狸    竟    开    口    说    话    了   ：" 不    要    射    我   ， 我    将    给    你    一    个    善    意    的    忠    告   。 我    知    道    你    此    行    的    目    的    是    什    么   ， 你    一    定    是    想    去    找    那    只    金    鸟   。 今    天    晚    上   ， 你    将    走    到    一    个    村    庄   ， 你    到    达    那    儿    时   ， 会    看    到    两    个    门    对    着    门    的    小    旅    店   。 其    中    一    间    非    常    热    闹   ， 看    起    来    也    很    富    丽    堂    皇   ， 你    千    万    不    要    进    去   。 对    面    一    间    小    旅    店    尽    管    门    庭    萧    条    简    陋   ， 但    你    应    该    到    那    里    面    去    过    夜   。" 园    丁    的    大    儿    子    想   ：" 这    样    一    只    野    兽    知    道    什    么    事    情    呢   ？" 因    此   ， 他    还    是    张    弓    搭    箭    向    那    只    狐    狸    射    去   ， 但    却    没    有    射    中    它   ， 狐    狸    夹    起    尾    巴    跑    进    了    树    林   。 他    收    起    弓    箭    又    继    续    上    路    了   。 晚    上   ， 他    来    到    那    个    村    庄   ， 庄    子    里    果    然    有    两    个    小    旅    店   。 其    中    的    一    间    旅    店    里    面   ， 客    人    们    在    唱    歌    跳    舞   ， 尽    情    享    受   ， 而    另    一    间    小    旅    店    看    起    来    又    脏    又    破    旧   。 看    到    这    一    情    景   ， 他    说    道   ：" 要    是    我    住    进    这    间    破    旧    的    房    子   ， 而    不    去    那    间    可    爱    舒    畅    的    旅    店    享    受   ， 我    岂    不    是    一    个    大    傻    瓜    了   。" 所    以   ， 他    毫    不    犹    虑    地    走    进    了    那    间    热    闹    非    凡    的    房    子   ， 加    入    了    又    吃    又    喝    的    客    人    行    列   ， 最    后    还    住    了    下    来   ， 花    天    酒    地    地    过    着    堕    落    生    活   。 什    么    金    鸟    呀   ， 家    庭    呀   ， 早    让    他    忘    到    九    霄    云    外    去    了   。

 大    儿    子    一    直    没    有    回    来   ， 也    没    有    听    到    他    的    消    息   。 过    了    一    些    时    候   ， 园    丁    只    好    让    二    儿    子    出    发    去    找    金    鸟   。 和    他    哥    哥    一    样   ， 他    也    遇    到    了    同    样    的    事    情   ： 首    先    是    看    到    那    只    狐    狸   ， 狐    狸    同    样    给    了    他    忠    告   ； 接    着    他    来    到    两    间    小    旅    店    门    口   ， 看    到    他    的    哥    哥    正    站    在    那    间    寻    欢    作    乐    的    旅    店    窗    口    叫    他    进    去   ， 他    经    不    住    那    种    诱    惑   ， 也    走    进    了    那    间    旅    店   ， 最    后   ， 也    和    他    哥    哥    一    样    把    金    鸟   、 家    庭    忘    到    九    霄    云    外    去    了   。

 又    过    了    好    些    时    候   ， 园    丁    的    小    儿    子    同    样    也    想    出    去    寻    找    金    鸟   ， 可    父    亲    怎    么    也    不    答    应   ， 因    为    他    非    常    喜    爱    这    个    儿    子   ， 担    心    他    去    了    会    遭    不    幸    而    回    不    了    家   。 可    他    的    小    儿    子    不    想    待    在    家    里   ， 在    他    软    磨    硬    泡    之    下   ， 父    亲    最    终    还    是    同    意    让    他    去    了   。 当    他    来    到    树    林    边    时   ， 他    遇    到    了    那    只    狐    狸   ， 聆    听    了    狐    狸    对    他    的    忠    告   。 他    没    有    像    他    那    两    个    哥    哥    一    样    用    弓    箭    射    它   ， 而    是    对    狐    狸    表    示    了    谢    意   。 所    以    那    只    狐    狸    说    道   ：" 坐    在    我    的    尾    巴    上    来    吧   ， 这    样    你    能    就    走    得    快    一    点   。" 他    听    从    它    的    话    坐    了    上    去   ， 狐    狸    马    上    跑    了    起    来   。 跨    过    树    丛   ， 越    过    乱    石   ， 速    度    之    快   ， 连    他    们    的    毛    发    也    在    风    中    嗖    嗖    作    响   。

 当    他    们    来    到    那    个    村    庄    时   ， 年    青    人    跳    了    下    来   。 他    牢    记    狐    狸    的    忠    告   ， 不    加    思    索    地    就    走    进    了    那    间    普    普    通    通    的    简    陋    旅    店   ， 在    那    里    安    心    地    过    了    一    夜   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 他    正    要    上    路   ， 狐    狸    又    来    对    他    说   ：" 一    直    往    前    走   ， 你    将    看    到    一    座    城    堡   。 在    城    堡    前   ， 有    一    大    队    士    兵    躺    在    地    上    打    鼾    睡    觉   ， 你    不    要    惊    动    他    们   ， 进    城    堡    后    一    直    向    前    走   ， 你    会    找    到    一    间    房    子   。 房    子    里    有    一    只    木    鸟    笼   ， 笼    子    里    关    的    正    是    那    只    金    鸟   ， 木    笼    旁    边    还    有    一    只    漂    亮    的    金    鸟    笼   ， 你    千    万    不    要    将    金    鸟    从    那    只    普    通    鸟    笼    里    转    到    漂    亮    的    鸟    笼    去   ！ 否    则    你    将    后    悔    莫    及    的   。" 之    后   ， 狐    狸    又    把    尾    巴    伸    了    出    来    让    年    青    人    坐    上    去   。 跨    过    树    丛   ， 越    过    乱    石   ， 他    们    的    毛    发    又    在    风    中    嗖    嗖    作    响   。

 来    到    城    堡    门    前   ， 一    切    都    如    狐    狸    所    说    那    样   。 这    位    园    丁    的    儿    子    于    是    走    进    了    城    堡   ， 找    到    了    那    间    房    子   。 金    鸟    就    关    在    悬    挂    在    房    子    里    的    那    只    木    鸟    笼    子    里   ， 木    鸟    笼    的    下    面    还    放    着    一    只    金    鸟    笼   ， 旁    边    放    的    正    是    丢    失    的    三    个    金    苹    果   。 他    想   ： 将    如    此    漂    亮    的    鸟    装    在    这    么    一    只    普    通    的    鸟    笼    里    带    走    真    是    一    件    荒    唐    可    笑    的    事   。 所    以    他    打    开    木    鸟    笼   ， 将    金    鸟    抓    出    来    准    备    放    在    金    鸟    笼    里   。 就    在    这    时   ， 金    鸟    昂    首    大    叫    了    一    声   ， 所    有    的    士    兵    都    醒    了   ， 他    们    立    即    把    他    抓    住   ， 把    他    带    到    他    们    的    国    王    面    前   。 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 法    庭    开    庭    审    判    了    他   ， 一    切    陈    述    完    毕    后   ， 他    被    判    了    死    刑   ， 不    过    国    王    让    他    找    到    那    匹    跑    起    来    如    风    驰    电    掣    般    的    金    马   ， 要    是    他    办    到    了   ， 不    仅    可    以    免    去    他    的    死    刑   ， 而    且    还    可    以    让    他    带    走    那    只    金    鸟   。

 他    再    次    上    路    了   ， 一    路    上    唉    声    叹    气   ， 显    得    非    常    绝    望   。 这    时   ， 他    的    好    朋    友    狐    狸    又    来    了   ， 它    说   ：" 看    看   ， 你    不    听    我    的    忠    告   ， 才    发    生    了    这    些    事    情   。 不    过   ， 如    果    你    按    我    的    吩    咐    去    做    的    话   ， 我    将    告    诉    你    怎    么    去    找    那    匹    金    马   。 要    找    那    匹    马   ， 你    只    要    一    直    向    前   ， 就    会    走    进    一    座    城    堡   ， 那    匹    金    马    就    站    在    城    堡    里    的    马    厩    里   ， 马    夫    正    睡    在    这    马    厩    的    旁    边    打    着    鼾   。 你    悄    悄    地    把    马    牵    走   ， 将    马    厩    旁    那    付    旧    皮    制    马    鞍    给    马    套    上   ， 千    万    不    要    套    上    那    付    金    马    鞍   ！" 说    完   ， 年    青    人    坐    在    了    狐    狸    的    尾    巴    上   。 他    们    跨    过    树    丛   ， 越    过    乱    石   ， 毛    发    在    风    中    嗖    嗖    作    响   。

 一    切    都    如    狐    狸    说    的    一    样   ， 那    马    夫    躺    在    那    儿    正    鼾    睡    着   ， 一    只    手    还    搭    在    金    马    鞍    上   。 当    这    位    园    丁    的    儿    子    看    到    金    马    后   ， 他    认    为    将    那    付    皮    制    马    鞍    套    在    金    马    上    也    太    委    屈    马    了   ， 心    想   ：" 我    将    给    金    马    配    那    付    好    的   ， 这    样    配    起    来    才    相    称   。" 当    他    拿    动    那    付    金    马    鞍    时   ， 马    夫    醒    了   ， 立    即    大    声    地    叫    了    起    来   。 听    到    叫    声   ， 卫    兵    们    马    上    冲    进    来    把    他    抓    住    了   。 第    二    天    早    晨   ， 他    再    次    被    送    上    了    法    庭   ， 审    判    结    果    是    判    处    死    刑   ， 但    如    果    他    能    带    来    一    位    远    方    的    美    丽    公    主   ， 就    可    免    去    死    刑   ， 金    马    也    归    他    所    有   ， 他    只    好    同    意    了   。

 怀    着    沉    痛    的    心    情   ， 他    又    上    路    了   。 那    只    熟    悉    的    狐    狸    再    次    出    现    在    他    面    前   ， 说    道   ：" 你    为    什    么    不    听    我    的    话    呢   ？ 如    果    你    听    了    我    的    话   ， 你    现    在    就    已    经    拥    有    金    鸟    和    金    马    了   。 这    样    吧   ， 我    再    给    你    一    个    忠    告   。 一    直    往    前    走   ， 到    晚    上    你    将    到    达    一    座    城    堡   。 晚    上    十    二    点    钟   ， 那    位    公    主    要    去    澡    堂   ， 你    跳    上    前    去   ， 亲    吻    她    一    下   ， 她    就    会    让    你    带    着    她    离    开    那    里   。 但    要    注    意   ， 千    万    不    要    答    应    她    去    向    她    父    母    告    别   ！" 说    完   ， 狐    狸    伸    出    尾    巴    让    他    坐    了    上    去   。 跨    过    树    丛   ， 越    过    乱    石   ， 他    们    的    毛    发    在    风    中    嗖    嗖    作    响   。

 当    他    来    到    那    座    城    堡    时   ， 一    切    都    如    狐    狸    所    说    的    那    样   。 晚    上    十    二    点    钟   ， 这    位    年    青    人    等    那    位    姑    娘    去    洗    澡    时   ， 跳    上    前    去    亲    吻    了    她    一    下   ， 她    便    马    上    说    愿    意    跟    他    走   ， 但    却    泪    水    涟    涟    地    恳    求    他    让    她    去    向    父    亲    告    别   。 开    始    他    拒    绝    了   ， 到    后    来    看    到    她    伤    心    的    样    子   ， 还    是    答    应    了    她   。 当    她    来    到    父    亲    的    房    间    时   ， 卫    兵    们    醒    了   ， 这    样    他    又    成    了    囚    犯   。

 他    被    带    到    了    国    王    面    前   ， 国    王    说   ：" 你    根    本    就    不    可    能    得    到    我    女    儿   ， 除    非    你    能    在    八    天    之    内   ， 把    我    窗    前    那    座    挡    住    我    视    线    的    山    给    挖    掉   。" 那    座    山    真    大   ， 即    使    动    用    全    世    界    的    人    来    挖   ， 恐    怕    也    挖    不    掉   ， 他    干    了    七    天    之    后   ， 那    座    山    还    像    没    动    过    似    的   。 正    在    他    绝    望    之    际   ， 狐    狸    又    来    了   ， 它    说   ：" 你    去    睡    觉    吧   ， 我    来    替    你    挖   。" 第    二    天    早    晨    醒    来   ， 那    座    山    不    见    了   ， 他    高    兴    地    来    到    了    国    王    面    前   ， 告    诉    他    那    座    山    已    经    挖    掉    了   ， 他    得    把    公    主    许    配    给    他   。

 国    王    不    得    不    实    践    他    的    诺    言   ， 让    这    位    年    青    人    和    公    主    离    去   。 路    上   ， 狐    狸    跑    来    对    他    说   ：" 我    们    将    拥    有    所    有    的    三    件    宝    贝   ： 公    主   ， 金    马   ， 金    鸟   。" 年    青    人    听    了    说    道   ：" 真    的    吗   ！ 这    可    是    一    件    不    容    易    的    事   ， 你    怎    么    办    到    呢   ？"

 狐    狸    说    道   ：" 只    要    你    听    我    的    吩    咐   ， 就    能    办    到   。 当    你    去    见    那    个    国    王    时   ， 他    会    问    你    要    美    丽    的    公    主   ， 你    把    公    主    给    他   ， 他    肯    定    非    常    高    兴   。 在    骑    上    他    给    你    的    金    马    后   ， 你    伸    手    向    他    们    告    别   ， 最    后    与    公    主    握    手   ， 然    后    趁    这    个    机    会    迅    速    把    她    拉    上    马    来    坐    在    你    后    面   ， 再    猛    踢    金    马   ， 全    速    飞    驰    离    去   。"

 一    切    都    进    行    得    很    顺    利   ， 少    年    骑    着    马    带    着    公    主    与    狐    狸    会    合    了   。 狐    狸    又    对    他    说   ：" 当    你    去    金    鸟    所    在    的    那    座    城    堡    时   ， 我    和    公    主    就    留    在    城    门    边   ， 你    骑    着    金    马    进    城    去   ， 给    那    个    国    王    交    差   。 他    看    到    确    实    是    他    要    的    马    时   ， 就    会    让    你    带    走    金    鸟   。 但    你    必    须    坐    在    马    上    不    动   ， 就    说    你    想    看    看    那    只    鸟   ， 以    便    证    实    是    不    是    那    只    真    正    的    金    鸟   。 当    你    将    金    鸟    提    到    手    上    时   ， 立    即    飞    驰    离    开   。"

 一    切    都    如    狐    狸    吩    咐    的    那    样   ， 他    带    着    金    鸟    出    了    城    堡   ， 和    公    主    会    合    后   ， 他    们    策    马    来    到    了    一    片    大    树    林   ， 这    时   ， 狐    狸    对    他    说   ：" 请    杀    死    我    吧   ， 砍    下    我    的    头    和    脚   。" 但    年    青    人    拒    绝    了   ， 他    认    为    这    是    忘    恩    负    义    之    举   。 狐    狸    又    说   ：" 你    不    杀    我    就    算    了   ， 但    不    管    怎    样   ， 我    还    是    将    给    你    一    个    忠    告   ： 有    两    件    事    你    要    当    心   ， 千    万    不    要    从    绞    刑    架    上    赎    回    任    何    人   ， 千    万    不    要    坐    在    河    岸    边   。" 说    完   ， 狐    狸    就    离    去    了   。 年    青    人    想   ：" 好    吧   ！ 要    做    到    这    些    也    不    是    什    么    难    事   。"

 他    和    公    主    骑    着    马    往    回    家    的    路    上    走   。 当    他    们    来    到    两    个    哥    哥    居    留    的    村    庄    时   ， 听    到    了    一    片    吵    闹    声    和    喧    哗    声   ， 他    向    一    个    人    打    听    发    生    了    什    么    事   ， 那    人    说   ：" 有    两    个    人    要    被    绞    死    了   。" 来    到    近    前    一    看   ， 那    两    个    人    竟    是    他    的    哥    哥   ， 他    俩    现    在    已    经    沦    为    强    盗    了   。 他    马    上    问   ：" 难    道    就    没    有    办    法    能    救    他    们    了    吗   ？" 那    人    说   ：" 没    有    办    法   ， 除    非    有    人    肯    为    这    两    个    恶    棍    拿    出    他    全    部    的    钱   ， 才    能    买    得    他    们    的    自    由   。" 听    到    这    句    话   ， 他    不    假    思    索    地    拿    出    了    所    要    的    赎    金   ， 将    两    个    哥    哥    救    了    下    来   ， 然    后    与    两    个    哥    哥    一    起    走    上    了    回    家    的    路   。

 当    他    们    来    到    第    一    次    遇    到    狐    狸    的    树    林    时   ， 那    里    很    凉    爽   ， 两    个    哥    哥    高    兴    地    说   ：" 我    们    到    河    边    去    坐    坐   ， 休    息    一    会    儿   ， 吃    点    东    西   ， 喝    几    口    水    吧   ！" 他    马    上    说   ：" 好    吧   ！" 完    全    忘    了    狐    狸    的    忠    告   ， 来    到    河    边    坐    了    下    来   ， 根    本    没    有    想    到    会    有    什    么    不    幸    的    事    情    发    生   。 两    个    哥    哥    心    怀    鬼    胎   ， 悄    悄    地    走    到    他    后    面   ， 猛    地    把    他    推    下    了    河    岸   ， 然    后    带    着    公    主   、 金    马    和    金    鸟    回    家    去    了   。 他    们    见    到    国    王    后   ， 进    言    说   ：" 所    有    这    些    都    是    由    我    们    辛    勤    拼    搏    争    来    的   。" 这    一    来   ， 大    家    高    兴    极    了   。 但    那    匹    马    却    不    进    食    了   ， 鸟    也    不    肯    唱    歌    了   ， 公    主    整    天    整    天    地    哭    泣   。

 年    青    的    小    儿    子    落    到    河    床    上   ， 幸    运    的    是    河    床    几    乎    是    干    的   ， 可    是    他    的    骨    头    几    乎    都    给    摔    断    了   ， 在    河    床    上    躺    了    很    久    才    站    起    来   。 河    沿    非    常    陡    峭   ， 他    没    能    找    到    上    岸    的    路   。 狐    狸    再    一    次    出    现    了   ， 它    责    备    他    不    听    它    的    忠    告   ， 否    则    就    不    会    有    这    场    祸    患   。 最    后    狐    狸    又    说   ：" 我    不    能    让    你    留    在    这    儿   ， 我    就    再    从    危    难    中    救    你    一    次    吧   。 来   ！ 抓    住    我    的    尾    巴   ， 牢    牢    地    抓    紧   。" 接    着   ， 将    他    拉    上    了    河    岸   。 上    岸    之    后   ， 狐    狸    对    他    说   ：" 你    的    哥    哥    还    在    提    防    着    你   ， 只    要    你    一    露    面   ， 被    他    们    发    现    了   ， 他    们    就    会    杀    了    你   。" 他    只    好    将    自    己    打    扮    成    一    个    穷    人    模    样   ， 悄    悄    地    来    到    国    王    的    院    子    里   。 他    刚    一    进    门   ， 马    儿    开    始    进    食    了   ， 鸟    儿    也    开    始    唱    歌    了   ， 公    主    也    不    再    哭    泣   。 当    他    见    到    国    王    后   ， 将    他    哥    哥    的    所    有    欺    诈    劣    迹    都    告    诉    了    他   ， 国    王    马    上    派    人    将    他    们    抓    了    起    来   ， 并    惩    办    了    他    们   。 公    主    又    回    到    了    他    的    身    边   ， 后    来    国    王    去    世    了   ， 他    便    成    了    这    个    王    国    的    继    承    人   。

 很    久    以    后   ， 有    一    天   ， 他    到    那    片    树    林    去    散    步   ， 又    遇    见    了    那    只    狐    狸   。 狐    狸    声    泪    俱    下    地    恳    求    他    把    它    杀    死   ， 切    下    它    的    头    和    脚   ， 最    后    他    不    得    不    这    样    做    了   。 刚    做    完   ， 狐    狸    马    上    变    成    了    一    个    人   ， 这    人    竟    是    公    主    失    踪    了    多    年    的    哥    哥   。
