魔    鬼    的    邋    遢    兄    弟   

 一    个    退    伍    士    兵    失    去    了    生    活    来    源   ， 不    知    道    怎    么    活    下    去   ， 他    走    到    了    森    林    中   。 他    走    了    一    会    儿   ， 碰    见    了    一    个    小    矮    人   ， 谁    知    这    矮    人    就    是    魔    鬼   。 小    矮    人    对    他    说   ：" 你    怎    么    啦   ， 看    上    去    很    烦    躁   。" 那    士    兵    回    答   ：" 我    饿    了   ， 可    又    没    钱   。" 魔    鬼    说   ：" 如    果    你    让    我    雇    你    做    我    的    仆    人   ， 你    今    生    今    世    就    有    吃    有    穿    了   。 你    得    替    我    服    务    七    年   ， 以    后    你    就    自    由    了   。 但    有    一    件    事    我    必    须    说    清    楚   ， 那    就    是    七    年    中    你    不    能    洗    脸   、 梳    头   、 剪    指    甲   、 剪    头    发    和    擦    眼    泪    水   。" 士    兵    回    答   ：" 好    吧   ， 如    果    没    有    别    的    办    法    的    话   。" 说    完    便    跟    着    小    矮    人    往    前    走   ， 小    矮    人    一    直    领    他    到    了    地    狱    里   。 然    后   ， 魔    鬼    告    诉    他    应    该    做    的    事   ： 他    得    烧    旺    大    锅    底    下    的    火   ， 锅    里    煮    着    的    是    魔    鬼    吃    的    烧    肉   ； 他    得    收    拾    屋    子   ， 把    垃    圾    扫    到    门    背    后   ， 并    随    时    保    持    各    处    整    洁   。 但    是   ， 如    果    他    一    旦    偷    看    锅    里    的    东    西   ， 他    就    要    倒    霉   。 士    兵    说   ：" 好    的   ， 我    会    注    意    的   。" 然    后   ， 老    魔    鬼    又    出    去    游    荡    了   ， 而    士    兵    则    开    始    着    手    他    的    新    任    务   ， 烧    火   ， 扫    地   ， 把    垃    圾    堆    到    门    后   ， 一    切    都    按    主    人    吩    咐    去    做   。 老    魔    鬼    回    家    来    检    查    一    切    是    否    照    做    了   ， 看    上    去    很    满    意   ， 就    又    出    去    了   。 这    时   ， 士    兵    才    有    闲    好    好    看    看    周    围    的    一    切   ： 只    见    地    狱    四    周    架    着    一    口    口    大    锅   ， 锅    下    火    势    正    旺   ， 锅    里    煮    得    噼    啪    直    响   ， 要    不    是    魔    鬼    特    别    关    照   ， 说    什    么    他    也    得    瞅    瞅    里    面    有    什    么   。 终    于   ， 他    实    在    忍    耐    不    住   ， 就    揭    开    第    一    个    锅    盖    一    点    儿   ， 往    里    瞅    去   。 可    他    却    看    见    了    他    原    来    的    下    士    坐    在    里    面   。" 哈    哈   ， 老    伙    计   ，" 他    说    道   ，" 我    怎    么    在    这    儿    见    到    你   ？ 以    前    你    管    我   ， 现    在    我    管    你    了   。" 说    着    很    快    盖    严    了    锅    盖   ， 并    添    了    些    新    柴   ， 扇    旺    了    火   。 然    后   ， 他    走    到    第    二    个    锅    前   ， 也    揭    开    一    点    儿    锅    盖    往    里    瞅   ， 看    见    里    边    坐    着    他    以    前    的    准    尉   ：" 哈    哈   ， 老    伙    计   ， 我    居    然    在    这    儿    见    到    你   。 以    前    你    管    我   ， 现    在    我    管    你    了   。" 他    又    盖    紧    锅    盖    并    搬    来    一    块    大    木    头   ， 把    火    烧    得    更    旺   。 接    着   ， 他    想    看    看    谁    会    坐    在    第    三    口    锅    里   ， 结    果    竟    是    他    以    前    的    将    军   。" 哈    哈   ， 老    伙    计   ， 我    怎    么    在    这    儿    见    到    你   。 以    前    你    管    我   ， 现    在    我    管    你    了   。" 说    着   ， 他    拿    来    只    风    箱   ， 把    将    军    下    面    的    火    吹    得    旺    旺    的   。 就    这    样   ， 士    兵    在    地    狱    里    服    役    了    七    年   ， 既    没    洗    脸   、 梳    头   ， 也    没    剪    指    甲   、 剪    头    发    甚    至    擦    眼    泪   。 他    觉    得    这    七    年    很    短   ， 就    像    才    半    年   。 当    期    满    这    一    天    到    来    时   ， 魔    鬼    走    过    来    说   ：" 喂   ， 汉    斯   ， 你    都    做    了    些    什    么   ？"" 我    烧    过    火   ， 扫    过    地   ， 并    把    垃    圾    堆    在    了    门    后   。"" 但    你    还    瞅    过    锅    里   ， 幸    亏    你    添    了    柴    火   ， 否    则    你    就    没    命    了   。 现    在   ， 你    的    服    务    期    到    了   ， 你    想    回    家    吗   ？"" 想   。" 士    兵    答    道   ：" 我    很    想    去    看    看    我    父    亲    在    家    怎    么    样   。" 魔    鬼    说   ：" 为    了    给    你    所    挣    的    酬    劳   ， 你    去    把    你    的    背    袋    装    满    垃    圾    带    回    家   。 你    走    的    时    候    也    不    许    洗    脸   、 梳    头   ， 要    留    着    长    长    的    头    发    胡    子   ， 还    有    没    剪    过    的    指    甲   ， 并    且    泪    眼    迷    蒙   。 当    人    家    问    你    从    那    里    来    时   ， 你    就    说   ：" 从    地    狱    来   。" 当    人    家    问    你    是    谁   ， 你    得    说   ：" 我    是    魔    鬼    的    邋    遢    兄    弟   ， 他    也    是    我    的    国    王   。" 士    兵    没    吭    声   ， 就    照    着    魔    鬼    说    的    去    做    了   ， 但    他    对    得    到    的    报    酬    一    点    也    不    满    意   。

 一    回    到    树    林    里   ， 他    就    从    背    上    取    下    背    包    准    备    倒    空   。 可    一    打    开    包   ， 发    现    里    面    的    垃    圾    全    变    成    了    金    子   。" 真    没    想    到   ！" 他    高    兴    极    了   ， 说    着    便    走    进    城    去   。 一    个    店    主    站    在    旅    店    门    口   ， 见    到    士    兵    走    来   ， 吓    了    一    大    跳   ， 因    为    汉    斯    的    样    子    实    在    叫    人    害    怕   ， 比    吓    唬    麻    雀    的    稻    草    人    还    可    怕   。 店    主    叫    住    他   ， 问    道   ：" 你    从    哪    里    来   。"" 从    地    狱    来   。"" 你    是    谁   ？"" 是    魔    鬼    的    邋    遢    兄    弟   ， 他    也    是    我    的    国    王   。" 店    主    一    听   ， 就    不    让    他    进    入   。 可    当    汉    斯    向    店    主    亮    了    他    的    金    子    后   ， 店    主    就    亲    自    替    他    开    了    门   。 汉    斯    要    了    最    好    的    房    间    和    仆    人   ， 吃    饱    喝    足    了   ， 却    照    魔    鬼    吩    咐    并    不    洗    漱   ， 就    躺    下    睡    觉   。 但    是   ， 店    主    眼    前    一    直    晃    动    着    这    一    兜    金    子   ， 感    到    坐    卧    不    安   。 到    了    深    夜   ， 他    溜    进    去    偷    走    了    那    袋    金    子   。 第    二    天    早    上   ， 汉    斯    起    床    后   ， 想    付    了    房    钱    继    续    上    路   ， 一    看    他    的    背    袋    没    了   。 但    他    马    上    镇    定    下    来   ， 心    想   ：" 你    是    无    辜    受    害    呀   。" 所    以    他    径    直    回    到    地    狱   ， 向    老    魔    鬼    诉    苦   ， 并    求    他    帮    忙   。 魔    鬼    说   ：" 坐    下    来   ， 我    替    你    洗    脸   、 梳    头   、 剪    指    甲    和    头    发   ， 擦    去    眼    泪    水   。" 做    完    这    些    后   ， 他    又    给    了    他    一    背    袋    垃    圾   ， 说   ：" 去    吧   ， 告    诉    店    主    他    必    须    还    你    金    子   ， 否    则    我    就    去    逮    他   ， 让    他    顶    替    你    来    烧    火   。" 汉    斯    回    到    旅    店   ， 对    店    主    说   ：" 你    偷    了    我    的    金    子   ， 如    果    你    不    还    我   ， 你    就    得    到    地    狱    去    顶    替    我   ， 变    得    像    我    一    样    丑    陋    可    怕   。" 店    主    听    了   ， 还    了    他    的    金    子   ， 并    且    还    另    外    加    了    一    些   ， 只    求    他    别    声    张   ， 这    样   ， 汉    斯    就    成    了    一    个    富    人   。

 汉    斯    上    了    路   ， 回    父    亲    身    边    去    了   。 他    买    了    一    件    破    旧    褂    子    穿    上   ， 四    周    游    荡    着   ， 一    路    奏    乐    卖    艺   ， 因    为    他    在    地    狱    与    魔    鬼    在    一    起    时    学    会    了    这    一    手    艺   。 当    时   ， 当    政    的    是    位    老    国    王   ， 汉    斯    奉    命    前    去    为    国    王    演    奏   。 老    国    王    很    赞    赏    他    的    演    奏    技    艺   ， 就    把    他    的    大    女    儿    许    配    给    他    做    了    妻    子   。 当    公    主    听    说    要    嫁    给    一    个    穿    破    褂    子    的    平    民    百    姓    时   ， 就    说   ：" 我    宁    可    跳    海    淹    死   ， 也    不    想    嫁    给    他   。" 然    后   ， 国    王    就    把    小    女    儿    许    配    给    了    他   。 为    了    使    国    王    父    亲    高    兴   ， 小    公    主    倒    是    很    乐    意   。 这    样   ， 魔    鬼    的    邋    遢    兄    弟    娶    了    国    王    的    女    儿    做    妻    子   ， 当    老    国    王    死    后   ， 还    当    上    了    国    王   。
