三    个    纺    纱    女   

 从    前    有    个    女    孩   ， 非    常    懒    惰   ， 怎    么    着    都    不    愿    意    纺    纱   。

 终    于    有    一    天   ， 母    亲    感    到    忍    无    可    忍   ， 就    打    了    她    一    顿   ， 她    于    是    嚎    啕    大    哭    起    来   。 正    巧    这    时    王    后    乘    车    从    门    前    经    过   ， 听    见    了    哭    声   ， 吩    咐    把    车    停    下    来   ， 进    屋    问    那    位    母    亲    为    什    么    打    女    儿   。 做    母    亲    的    怎    好    意    思    说    自    己    的    女    儿    如    何    如    何    的    懒    惰   ， 于    是    就    回    答    说   ：" 我    叫    她    不    要    再    纺    了   ， 可    她    就    是    不    听   ， 在    纺    车    上    仍    然    纺    个    不    停   。

 我    穷    啊   ， 哪    买    得    起    那    么    多    的    亚    麻    呀   。"

 王    后    听    了    说    道   ：" 我    最    爱    纺    纱   。 让    你    的    女    儿    随    我    进    宫    去    吧   ， 我    有    的    是    亚    麻   ， 她    愿    意    纺    多    少    就    纺    多    少   。"

 母    亲    听    了    这    话   ， 打    心    眼    儿    里    高    兴   ， 满    口    答    应    下    来   ， 王    后    便    带    着    女    孩    走    了   。

 她    们    到    了    王    宫    之    后   ， 王    后    领    着    女    孩    上    了    楼   ， 把    三    间    库    房    指    给    她    看   ， 只    见    库    房    里    装    满    了    最    好    的    亚    麻   。" 喏   ， 你    就    为    我    纺    这    些    亚    麻    吧   ，" 王    后    说    道   ，" 你    什    么    时    候    纺    完    了   ， 就    嫁    给    我    的    长    子   。"

 女    孩    听    了    心    里    一    阵    惊    恐   -- 即    使    她    每    天    从    早    纺    到    晚   ， 纺    到    她    三    百    岁    的    时    候   ， 也    休    想    把    那    么    多    的    亚    麻    纺    完   。 剩    下    女    孩    独    自    一    人    时   ， 她    就    哭    了    起    来   。 她    就    这    样    哭    哭    啼    啼    地    坐    着   ， 一    晃    儿    三    天    过    去    了   ， 还    没    动    手    纺    纱    呢   。 第    三    天   ， 女    孩    不    知    如    何    是    好   ， 忧    心    忡    忡    地    来    到    窗    前   。 恰    在    这    时    她    看    见    有    三    个    女    人    走    了    过    来   ： 第    一    个    女    人    的    一    个    脚    板    又    宽    又    平   ； 第    二    个    的    下    嘴    唇    很    长   ， 耷    拉    到    下    巴    上   ； 而    第    三    个    的    一    只    大    拇    指    非    常    宽    大   。 这    三    个    女    人    走    到    窗    下    停    住    了    脚   ， 问    女    孩    为    什    么    忧    心    忡    忡   ， 她    就    向    她    们    诉    说    了    自    己    的    苦    恼   。" 只    要    你    不    嫌    我    们    丢    人   ，" 他    们    对    女    孩    说    道   ，" 请    我    们    参    加    你    的    婚    礼   ， 说    我    们    是    你    的    表    姐   ， 并    且    让    我    们    与    你    同    桌    喝    喜    酒   ， 我    们    就    帮    你    把    这    些    亚    麻    纺    完   。"

" 我    非    常    乐    意   。" 女    孩    回    答    说   。

 说    罢   ， 女    孩    就    让    这    三    个    长    相    奇    特    的    女    人    进    屋    来   。 她    们    进    来    后    刚    一    坐    下    就    开    始    纺    纱   。 每    次    王    后    来   ， 女    孩    生    怕    王    后    发    现   ， 便    把    那    三    个    纺    纱    女    藏    起    来   ， 而    让    王    后    看    已    经    纺    好    的    纱   。 王    后    看    了    之    后   ， 对    她    赞    不    绝    口   。

 库    房    里    所    有    的    亚    麻    都    纺    完    了   ， 这    三    个    纺    织    女    便    跟    女    孩    告    别   ， 临    行    前    对    她    说    道   ：" 你    可    千    万    不    要    忘    记    了    对    我    们    许    下    的    诺    言   ， 这    关    系    到    你    自    己    的    幸    福    啊   。"

 女    孩    领    着    王    后    看    了    三    间    空    荡    荡    的    库    房    和    堆    得    像    小    山    似    的    纱    线   ， 王    后    于    是    就    安    排    了    婚    礼   。

" 我    有    三    位    表    姐   ，" 女    孩    说   ，" 她    们    待    我    非    常    好   。 在    我    自    己    幸    福    如    意    的    时    候   ， 怎    么    也    不    愿    意    冷    漠    了    她    们   。 请    允    许    我    邀    请    她    们    来    参    加    婚    礼   ， 并    且    让    她    们    在    婚    宴    上    和    我    们    坐    在    一    起   。"

 王    后    和    王    子    欣    然    同    意   。 婚    礼    那    天   ， 三    个    纺    纱    女    果    然    来    了   。 她    们    打    扮    得    怪    模    怪    样    的   ， 很    令    人    发    笑   。 新    娘    马    上    迎    上    去    说   ：

" 欢    迎    你    们   ， 亲    爱    的    表    姐    们   。"

" 你    的    几    个    表    姐    怎    么    长    得    这    么    丑   ？" 王    子    问    道   。 随    后   ， 他    转    身    走    到    那    个    大    脚    板    女    人    身    边   ， 问    道   ：" 您    的    一    只    脚    怎    么    会    这    样    大    呢   ？"

" 踏    纺    车    踏    的    呗   。" 她    回    答    道   。

 新    郎    又    走    到    第    二    个    女    人    身    旁   ， 问    道   ：" 您    的    嘴    唇    怎    么    会    耷    拉    着    呢   ？"

" 舔    麻    线    舔    的    呗   。" 她    回    答    说   。

 然    后    他    问    第    三    个    女    人   ：" 您    的    大    拇    指    怎    么    会    这    样    宽    呢   ？"

" 捻    麻    线    捻    的    呗   。" 她    回    答    说   。

 王    子    听    罢    三    人    的    回    答   ， 大    惊    失    色   ， 于    是    就    说   ：" 我    美    丽    的    新    娘    今    后    绝    不    再    碰    纺    车    一    下   。"

 就    这    样   ， 女    孩    从    此    再    也    用    不    着    干    纺    纱    这    个    讨    厌    的    活    儿    了   。
