当    音    乐    家    去   

 从    前   ， 一    个    农    夫    养    了    一    头    驴   。 这    头    驴    为    他    辛    勤    劳    作    已    经    有    许    多    年    了   ， 但    无    情    的    岁    月    加    上    多    年    的    劳    作   ， 使    他    现    在    衰    老    了   ， 干    活    一    天    不    如    一    天   ， 越    来    越    难    以    胜    任    以    前    的    工    作    了   。 因    此   ， 他    的    主    人    不    想    再    留    着    他   ， 准    备    将    他    杀    掉   。 可    是   ， 驴    子    却    看    出    了    主    人    的    心    意   ， 于    是    悄    悄    地    跑    了    出    去   ， 一    路    向    城    里    行    进   。

 他    想   ：" 到    了    那    里   ， 我    也    许    能    当    一    名    音    乐    家    了   。"

 走    了    一    段    路   ， 他    发    现    路    边    躺    着    一    条    狗   ， 像    是    极    度    疲    劳    一    样   ， 不    停    地    喘    着    气   。 驴    子    上    前    问    道   ：" 朋    友   ， 你    怎    么    气    喘    成    这    个    样    子    啊   ？" 这    条    狗    答    道   ：" 哎   ！ 因    为    我    老    了   ， 气    力    也    不    足    了   ， 再    也    不    能    随    我    的    主    人    一    同    出    去    打    猎   ， 所    以    主    人    准    备    把    我    打    死   。 我    就    跑    了    出    来   ， 可    现    在    我    靠    什    么    来    谋    生    呢   ？" 驴    说    道   ：" 这    样    吧   ， 我    准    备    到    城    里    去    当    音    乐    家   ， 要    是    你    愿    意    和    我    一    起    去    的    话   ， 我    们    倒    是    志    同    道    合   ， 你    愿    意    吗   ？" 狗    马    上    说    他    愿    意    一    起    去   ， 这    样   ， 他    们    成    了    同    路    人   。

 走    不    多    远   ， 他    们    看    见    一    只    猫    蹲    在    路    中    央   ， 一    副    愁    眉    苦    脸    的    样    子   。 驴    上    前    说    道   ：" 这    位    女    士   ， 请    告    诉    我    们   ， 你    这    是    怎    么    了   ？ 你    怎    么    这    样    一    付    没    精    打    采    的    样    子   。"" 我    嘛   ！" 猫    叹    了    口    气    说   ，" 谁    的    生    命    有    了    危    险   ， 他    的    精    神    还    能    好    得    起    来    吗   ？ 就    因    为    我    老    了   ， 只    想    躺    在    火    炉    边    休    息   ， 不    想    去    抓    房    里    的    老    鼠   ， 我    的    女    主    人    就    抓    住    我   ， 要    把    我    淹    死   。 尽    管    我    幸    运    地    从    她    那    儿    逃    了    出    来   ， 可    我    不    知    道    这    以    后    靠    什    么    维    持    生    计   。"" 好    吧   ！ 你    就    和    我    们    一    道    进    城    去   ， 晚    上    你    是    一    个    很    好    的    歌    手   ， 当    一    个    音    乐    家    会    带    给    你    好    运    的   。" 猫    听    了    这    一    建    议   ， 愉    快    地    加    入    了    他    们    的    行    列   。

 走    不    多    久   ， 他    们    经    过    一    个    农    庄   ， 看    见    一    只    公    鸡    栖    息    在    一    扇    门    上    放    开    嗓    门    啼    叫    着   。" 妙    啊   ！" 驴    子    说   ，" 你    的    声    音    挺    不    错    的   ， 能    说    说    这    是    唱    的    什    么    吗   ？"" 唉   ！" 公    鸡    回    答    道   ，" 我    现    在    是    说    今    天    是    个    好    天    气   ， 正    好    是    洗    衣    日   ， 我    的    女    主    人    和    厨    师    不    仅    不    感    谢    我    这    番    苦    心   ， 还    准    备    明    天    把    我    杀    了   ， 给    星    期    天    来    的    客    人    煨    鸡    汤    喝   。"" 但    愿    不    会    发    生    这    样    的    事   ！" 驴    子    说    道   ，" 雄    鸡   ， 与    我    们    一    起    到    城    里    去    吧   ！ 不    管    怎    样   ， 总    比    待    在    这    儿    等    着    杀    头    要    好    得    多   ！ 再    说    也    没    人    知    道   。 要    是    我    们    轮    着    来    唱    歌   ， 我    们    就    能    组    织    一    场    音    乐    会    了   。 加    入    我    们    的    行    列    吧   ！" 公    鸡    说    道   ：" 好    吧   ！ 我    一    定    会    尽    心    尽    意    的   。" 他    们    四    个    一    起    高    兴    地    踏    上    了    进    城    的    路   。

 然    而   ， 城    里    不    是    一    天    能    走    到    的   ， 所    以    当    天    黑    下    来    时   ， 他    们    只    好    走    进    一    片    树    林    去    安    歇   。 驴    子    和    狗    睡    在    了    一    棵    大    树    下   ， 猫    爬    上    树    睡    在    树    杈    上   ， 而    公    鸡    则    认    为    待    的    地    方    越    高    越    安    全   ， 因    此    他    飞    到    了    树    顶    上   ， 他    还    有    一    个    习    惯   ， 就    是    在    睡    觉    前    要    看    看    周    围    的    每    个    东    西    是    不    是    有    什    么    不    对    劲   。 他    挺    直    脖    子    一    看   ， 发    现    远    处    有    光    线    射    过    来   ， 马    上    对    他    的    同    伴    们    叫    喊    道   ：" 不    远    的    地    方    一    定    有    一    所    房    子   ， 因    为    我    看    到    了    灯    光   。" 驴    子    说   ：" 如    果    真    有    房    子   ， 那    我    们    最    好    还    是    换    个    地    方    睡    吧   。 现    在    睡    的    地    方    太    糟    糕    了   。" 狗    又    接    着    说   ：" 而    且   ， 说    不    定    还    能    在    那    儿    找    到    几    根    骨    头    或    是    一    些    肉    哩   ！" 于    是   ， 他    们    一    起    向    公    鸡    看    见    的    方    向    走    去   。 随    着    他    们    走    近   ， 灯    光    变    得    越    来    越    明    亮    了   。 最    后   ， 他    们    来    到    一    座    强    盗    住    的    房    子    前   。

 他    们    当    中    驴    子    的    个    头    最    大   ， 他    走    到    窗    户    跟    前    偷    偷    朝    房    子    里    看    去   。 公    鸡    问    道   ：" 驴    儿   ， 你    看    见    什    么    了   ？"" 我    看    见    什    么    了   ？" 驴    子    重    复    说    道   ，" 我    看    见    一    张    桌    子    上    摆    满    了    各    种    好    吃    的    东    西   ， 强    盗    们    正    高    兴    地    坐    在    桌    子    周    围   。" 公    鸡    说    道   ：" 但    愿    这    是    为    我    们    准    备    的   "。 驴    子    也    说    道   ：" 是    啊   ！ 只    要    我    们    能    进    去    就    成   。" 接    着   ， 他    们    一    起    商    量    怎    样    才    能    把    强    盗    赶    走   。 最    后   ， 他    们    想    出    一    个    办    法   ： 驴    子    后    腿    站    立   、 前    腿    搭    到    窗    台    上   ， 狗    站    在    驴    的    背    上   ， 猫    又    爬    在    狗    的    背    上   ， 而    公    鸡    则    飞    起    来    坐    在    猫    的    头    上   。 他    们    站    好    后   ， 约    定    了    一    个    信    号   ， 然    后    一    齐    鸣    叫    起    来   。 驴    子    哇    呜    哇    呜    地    吼    叫   ， 狗    汪    汪    狂    地    吠   ， 猫    呜    呜    呜    地    叫    喊   ， 公    鸡    尖    声    啼    鸣   。 他    们    又    同    时    打    破    窗    户   ， 翻    进    了    房    间    里   。 玻    璃    的    碎    裂    声   ， 可    怕    的    喧    闹    声   ， 把    强    盗    们    完    全    吓    坏    了   ， 惊    慌    失    措    中   ， 以    为    是    可    怕    的    妖    怪    找    上    了    他    们   ， 拼    命    地    逃    了    出    去   。

 一    切    归    于    平    静    后   ， 这    几    个    闯    荡    江    湖    的    不    速    之    客    坐    了    下    来   ， 匆    匆    吃    起    了    强    盗    们    留    下    的    食    物   ， 那    狼    吞    虎    咽    的    样    子    就    像    他    们    已    经    一    个    月    没    吃    东    西    似    的   。 他    们    吃    饱    之    后   ， 把    灯    灭    了   ， 各    自    依    自    己    的    习    惯    找    到    了    休    息    的    地    方   ， 驴    子    躺    在    院    子    里    的    一    堆    草    上   ， 狗    趴    在    门    后    面    的    一    个    垫    子    上   ， 猫    蜷    曲    在    仍    有    炉    灰    余    热    的    壁    炉    前   ， 公    鸡    栖    息    在    房    顶    的    屋    梁    上   。 他    们    走    了    这    许    多    路   ， 已    相    当    困    倦   ， 不    久    就    睡    着    了   。

 到    了    半    夜   ， 强    盗    们    从    远    处    看    见    房    子    没    了    灯    光   ， 一    切    都    显    得    很    安    静   ， 想    到    自    己    在    惊    慌    中    是    否    逃    得    太    匆    忙    了   。 其    中    一    个    胆    子    大    一    些    的    强    盗    准    备    去    看    看   。 当    他    走    进    厨    房    时   ， 没    有    发    现    异    案    情    况   ， 便    摸    索    着    找    到    了    一    盒    火    柴    想    把    蜡    烛    点    燃   。 偶    然    看    见    了    猫    那    双    闪    烁    着    火    焰    般    的    亮    光    的    眼    睛   ， 他    误    认    为    是    没    有    熄    灭    的    炉    中    炭    火   ， 便    将    火    柴    凑    上    前    去    想    点    燃    它   。 但    猫    却    不    懂    得    开    玩    笑   ， 起    身    猛    地    向    强    盗    的    脸    上    扑    去   ， 又    是    啐    又    是    抓   。 那    强    盗    吓    了    一    大    跳   ， 急    忙    撤    腿    就    往    门    外    跑   。 可    到    门    口    却    被    那    条    狗    扑    上    来    在    腿    上    咬    了    一    口   ， 穿    过    院    子    时    驴    子    又    踢    了    他    一    脚   。 公    鸡    此    时    被    吵    闹    声    惊    醒    了   ， 拼    命    地    叫    了    起    来   ， 那    强    盗    被    唬    得    连    滚    带    爬    地    跑    回    了    树    林    中    同    伴    的    藏    身    处   ， 心    有    余    悸    地    对    强    盗    头    子    说   ：" 多    恐    怖    啊   ， 一    个    可    怕    的    巫    婆    待    在    屋    子    里   ， 她    向    我    的    脸    上    吐    唾    沫   ， 又    用    那    长    长    的   ， 瘦    骨    伶    伶    的    爪    子    抓    我    的    脸   ； 门    后    面    藏    着    一    个    人   ， 手    里    拿    着    一    把    刀   ， 一    下    子    刺    在    了    我    的    腿    上   ； 院    子    里    站    着    一    个    黑    色    的    怪    物   ， 他    拿    着    一    根    大    棒    向    我    乱    打   ； 房    屋    的    顶    梁    上    还    坐    了    一    个    恶    魔   ， 他    大    喊    道   ：' 把    那    个    恶    棍    扔    到    这    儿    来   ！'" 从    此   ， 强    盗    们    再    也    不    敢    回    那    屋    子    了   ， 而    那    些    音    乐    家    们    也    就    高    兴    地    在    里    面    住    了    下    来   。 我    敢    说    他    们    现    在    仍    住    在    那    里    面    呢   。
