小    海    兔    的    故    事   

 从    前   ， 在    一    座    巍    峨    的    城    堡    里    住    着    位    公    主   ， 城    墙    的    上    面    有    一    座    宫    殿   ， 殿    内    开    有    十    二    个    窗    户   ， 可    以    看    到    四    面    八    方   。 每    次    公    主    踏    上    宫    殿    的    顶    楼   ， 放    眼    四    方   ， 整    个    王    国    尽    在    她    的    眼    下   。 每    当    她    从    第    一    扇    窗    户    往    外    看   ， 她    可    以    比    任    何    人    都    看    得    清    楚   ， 从    第    二    扇    看    时   ， 则    能    看    得    更    清    楚   ， 从    第    三    扇    看    时    还    要    清    楚    些   ， 如    此    类    推   ， 一    扇    胜    似    一    扇   ， 到    最    后    一    扇    时   ， 无    论    是    天    上    地    下    的    一    切    都    能    看    见   ， 世    上    没    有    什    么    能    逃    脱    她    的    眼    睛   。 公    主    为    人    傲    慢   ， 目    空    一    切   ， 并    希    望    永    远    独    揽    大    权   ， 而    且    她    又    对    外    宣    称   ， 如    果    有    人    想    成    为    她    的    丈    夫   ， 就    得    躲    起    来    让    她    找    不    着   ， 否    则    就    别    想    得    太    美   。 有    人    来    试    过    了   ， 结    果    被    发    现    了   ， 连    脑    袋    也    搬    了    家   ， 挂    在    了    柱    子    上   。 现    在    城    外    已    经    立    着    九    十    七    根    柱    子   ， 每    根    上    面    都    挂    着    一    个    人    头   ， 很    长    一    段    时    间    内    没    有    人    敢    来    一    试    了   。 公    主    这    下    可    高    兴    啦   ！ 心    想   ：" 这    下    我    可    以    永    远    自    由    自    在    了   。" 不    久    宫    廷    里    来    了    三    兄    弟   ， 声    称    想    试    试    自    己    的    运    气   。 老    大    想    只    要    爬    进    石    灰    窑    就    可    万    事    大    吉    了   ， 结    果    公    主    从    第    一    扇    窗    口    便    瞧    见    了    他   ， 便    叫    他    出    来   ， 杀    了    他    的    头   。 老    二    爬    进    宫    殿    下    的    地    窖   ， 公    主    又    从    第    一    扇    窗    口    瞧    见    了    他   ， 结    果    他    也    惨    遭    了    同    样    的    命    运   ， 脑    袋    被    挂    在    了    第    九    十    九    根    柱    子    上   。 最    后    老    三    走    上    前    去   ， 乞    求    公    主    给    他    一    段    时    间    考    虑   ， 并    请    她    发    发    慈    悲   ， 给    他    两    次    机    会   ， 如    果    第    三    次    不    成   ， 便    自    甘    认    命   。 公    主    瞧    他    长    得    英    俊   ， 乞    求    又    诚    恳   ， 最    后    还    是    答    应    了   ，" 好    吧   ！ 我    就    让    你    试    试    吧   ， 不    过    你    休    想    得    逞   。"

 他    怎    么    才    能    逃    过    她    的    眼    睛    呢   ？ 年    青    人    想    了    好    久   ， 可    就    是    想    不    出    好    法    子   。 他    干    脆    扛    着    枪    打    猎    去    了   。 看    见    远    处    有    一    只    乌    鸦   ， 他    仔    细    瞄    准   ， 正    要    开    枪   ， 乌    鸦    突    然    叫    道   ：" 别    开    枪   ， 我    会    报    答    你    的   ！" 他    放    下    了    枪   ， 继    续    往    前    赶   ， 不    久    便    来    到    了    一    片    湖    水    旁   。 在    那    儿    他    发    现    了    一    条    鱼    从    水    的    深    处    跃    上    水    面   ， 他    又    举    枪    瞄    准    了   ， 鱼    儿    叫    道   ：" 别    开    枪   ， 我    会    报    答    你    的   ！" 他    于    是    让    鱼    儿    继    续    跃    上    跃    下   。 接    着    他    又    遇    到    一    只    跛    脚    的    狐    狸   ， 他    开    了    枪    不    过    没    有    打    中   ， 只    听    狐    狸    叫    道   ：" 你    最    好    帮    我    把    脚    上    的    刺    拔    出    来   。" 他    于    是    照    做    了   。 可    当    他    正    要    杀    掉    狐    狸    并    剥    下    它    的    皮    时   ， 狐    狸    叫    道   ：" 别    杀    我   ！ 我    会    报    答    你    的   ！" 这    位    年    轻    人    放    走    了    它   。

 很    快    天    就    黑    了   ， 他    只    得    回    家    去   。

 明    天    他    就    得    躲    起    来   ， 但    无    论    他    怎    样    绞    尽    脑    汁   ， 都    想    不    出    个    藏    身    之    处   。 他    走    进    了    森    林   ， 来    到    了    乌    鸦    的    跟    前    说   ：" 我    让    你    活    了    命   ， 现    在    告    诉    我    该    躲    到    何    处   ， 这    样    公    主    才    看    不    见    我   。" 乌    鸦    低    头    沉    思    了    好    一    会   ， 最    后    他    哇    哇    大    叫    着    说   ，" 有    办    法    了   ！" 它    从    自    己    的    窝    里    掏    出    一    个    个    蛋   ， 破    成    两    半   ， 然    后    把    年    青    人    关    在    里    面   ， 蛋    壳    又    缝    合    如    初   ， 它    又    坐    在    上    面   。 当    公    主    走    到    第    一    扇    窗    口    时   ， 没    能    看    见    他   ， 其    它    几    扇    窗    口    也    看    不    见   ， 于    是    她    开    始    不    安    起    来    了   。 但    当    她    到    了    第    十    一    扇    窗    口    时   ， 她    终    于    瞧    见    了    他   。 她    命    令    手    下    开    枪    杀    死    了    乌    鸦   ， 把    蛋    带    来    破    开   ， 年    青    人    只    得    出    来    了   。 她    说   ：" 我    已    饶    了    你    一    次   ， 你    好    自    为    之   ， 否    则    你    就    完    了   ！"

 第    二    天    他    来    到    了    湖    边   ， 把    鱼    儿    招    到    身    边   ， 说   ：" 我    放    过    你    的    生   ， 现    在    告    诉    我    该    躲    在    何    处   ， 这    样    公    主    才    看    不    见    我   。" 鱼    儿    想    了    一    会    儿   ， 最    后    较    道   ：" 有    了   ！ 我    可    以    把    你    藏    在    我    肚    子    里   。" 鱼    儿    把    他    吞    进    肚    内   ， 游    入    湖    底   。 公    主    从    窗    口    往    外    瞧   ， 既    使    在    第    十    一    扇    窗    口    也    没    能    看    见   ， 这    下    她    可    慌    了   。 不    过    在    最    后    一    扇    窗    口    她    还    是    瞧    见    了    他   ， 于    是    命    令    手    下    把    鱼    儿    抓    来    杀    掉   ， 年    青    人    钻    了    出    来   ， 现    在    他    的    心    情    就    可    想    而    知    了   。 公    主    说   ：" 我    已    饶    了    你    两    次   ， 小    心    你    的    脑    袋    别    挂    在    第    一    百    根    柱    子    上   。"

 最    后    一    天   ， 他    心    事    重    重    地    走    到    郊    外   ， 又    遇    到    了    狐    狸   。" 你    可    是    个    找    藏    身    处    的    行    家   ，" 他    说   ，" 我    可    饶    过    你    的    命   ， 现    在    告    诉    我    该    躲    在    何    处   ， 这    样    公    主    才    看    不    见    我    呢   ？"" 那    可    难    了   ，" 狐    狸    答    道   ， 露    出    一    副    若    有    所    思    的    样    子   ， 最    后    他    叫    道   ，" 有    了   ！" 于    是    领    着    他    走    到    泉    水    旁   。 他    跳    了    进    去   ， 然    后    又    冒    了    出    来   ， 模    样    恰    似    市    集    上    的    摊    贩   ， 专    营    皮    货    的    商    人   。 年    青    人    只    得    也    跟    着    跳    入    水    中   ， 马    上    变    成    了    一    只    小    海    兔   。 商    人    来    到    城    里   ， 展    出    了    这    只    小    动    物   。 许    多    人    都    围    上    来    看    希    奇   ， 最    后    公    主    也    来    了   ， 对    这    小    家    伙    爱    不    释    手   ， 于    是    买    下    了    它   ， 给    了    商    人    一    大    笔    钱   。 商    人    在    把    小    海    兔    交    给    公    主    前   ， 对    小    海    兔    说   ：" 等    公    主    走    到    窗    前    时   ， 赶    快    爬    到    她    辫    子    下   。" 现    在    轮    到    公    主    来    找    他    了   。 她    走    到    窗    前   ， 一    扇    挨    着    一    扇   ， 从    第    一    扇    到    第    十    一    扇    窗    口    查    看   ， 可    她    竟    都    看    不    见    他   。 既    使    是    到    第    十    二    扇    窗    口    也    没    有    瞧    见   ， 这    下    她    变    得    惶    恐    不    安    了   。 只    见    她    愤    怒    万    分   ， 猛    地    关    上    窗    户   ， 结    果    窗    户    上    的    玻    璃    碎    成    了    无    数    块   ， 整    个    城    堡    都    给    震    动    了   ！"

 她    转    过    身    来   ， 正    好    和    自    己    发    辫    下    的    海    兔    碰    了    个    满    怀   。 她    一    把    抓    起    海    兔   ， 扔    在    地    上   ， 大    叫   ：" 滚    开   ！ 给    我    滚    得    远    远    的   ！" 海    兔    立    刻    奔    向    商    人   。 他    们    俩    急    匆    匆    地    奔    向    泉    水    边   ， 扑    嗵    一    声    跳    入    水    中   ， 从    此    又    恢    复    了    原    形   。 年    轻    人    感    谢    了    狐    狸   ， 并    说   ：" 和    你    比    起    来   ， 乌    鸦    和    鱼    儿    真    是    大    傻    瓜   ， 你    真    是    诡    计    多    端   ， 名    不    虚    传    啊   ！"

 年    轻    人    径    直    来    到    宫    廷   ， 公    主    早    就    在    那    儿    等    着    他    了   ， 从    此    她    接    受    了    命    运    的    安    排   。 婚    礼    举    行    得    很    隆    重   ， 现    在    他    已    做    了    国    王   ， 成    了    一    国    之    君    了   。 至    于    第    三    次    他    藏    在    何    处   ， 谁    帮    助    了    他   ， 他    可    从    未    告    诉    过    妻    子   ， 于    是    她    就    以    为    他    是    凭    借    自    己    的    能    力    做    到    一    切    的   ， 从    此    公    主    也    更    加    敬    重    他   ， 因    为    她    想   ：" 他    可    比    我    更    有    能    耐   。"
