She had seven little kids, and loved them all, just as a mother loves her children. One day she wanted to go into the woods to get

2、some food. So she called all seven to her and said, Children dear, I am going into the woods. Be on your guard for the wolf. If he gets in, he will eat up all of you all, even your skin and hair. The villain often disguises himself, but you will recognize him at on _ by his rough voi _ and his black

3、 feet. The kids said, Mother dear, we will take care of ourselves. You can go away without any worries. Then the old one bleated, and went on her way with her mind at ease. It was not long before someone knocked at the door and called out, Open the door, children dear, your mother is here, and has b

4、rought something for each one of you. But the little kids knew from the rough voi _ that it was the wolf. We will not open the door, they cried out. You are not our mother. She has a soft and gentle voi _, but your voi _ is rough. You are the wolf. So the wolf went to a shopkeeper and bought himself

5、 a large pie _ of chalk, which he ate, _ his voi _ soft. Then he came back and knocked at the door, calling out, Open the door, children dear. Your mother is here and has brought something for each one of you. But the wolf laid one of his black paws inside the window. The children saw it and cried o

6、ut, We will not open the door. Our mother does not have a black foot like you. You are the wolf. So the wolf ran to a baker and said, I have sprained my foot. Rub some dough on it for me. After the baker had rubbed dough on his foot, the wolf ran to the miller and said, Sprinkle some white flour on

7、my foot for me. The miller thought, The wolf wants to de _ive someone, and refused to do it, so the wolf said, If you will not do it, I will eat you up. That frightened the miller, and he _de his paw white for him. Yes, that is the way people are. Now the villain went for a third time to the door, k

8、nocked at it, and said, Open the door for me, children. Your dear little mother has e home, and has brought every one of you something from the woods. The little kids cried out, First show us your paw so we _y know that you are our dear little mother. So he put his paw inside the window, and when th

9、ey saw that it was white, they believed that everything he said was true, and they opened the door. But who came in? It was the wolf. They were terrified and wanted to hide. One jumped under the table, the second into the bed, the third into the stove, the fourth into the kitchen, the fifth into the

10、 cupboard, the sixth under the washbasin, and the seventh into the clock case. But the wolf found them all, and with no further ado he swallowed them down his throat, one after the other. However, he did not find the youngest kid, the one who was in the clock case. After satisfying his appetite he w

11、ent outside and lay down under a tree in the green meadow and fell asleep. Soon afterward the old goat came home from the woods. Oh, what a sight she saw there. The door stood wide open. Table, chairs, and benches were tipped over. The washbasin was in pie _s. The covers and pillows had been pulled

12、off the bed. She looked for her children, but they were nowhere to be found. She called them by name, one after the other, but no one answered. When she at last came to the youngest, a soft voi _ cried out, Mother dear, I am hiding in the clock case. She took it out, and it told her that the wolf ha

13、d e and had eaten up all the others. You can just i _gine how she cried for her poor children. Finally in her despair she went outside, and the youngest kid ran with her. They came to the meadow, and there lay the wolf by the tree, snoring so loudly that the branches shook. She looked at him from al

14、l sides and saw that something was moving and jiggling inside his full belly. Good gracious, she thought. Is it possible that my poor children, whom he has swallowed down for his supper, can still be alive? The mother goat sent the kid home and to fetch scissors, and a needle and thread, and then sh

15、e cut open the monsters paunch. She had scar _ly _de one cut, before a little kid stuck its head out, and as she continued to cut, one after the other all six jumped out, and they were all still alive. They were not even hurt, for in his greed the monster had swallowed them down whole. How happy the

16、y were! They hugged their dear mother, and jumped about like a tailor on his wedding day. But the mother said, Go now and look for some big stones. We will fill the godless beasts sto _ch with them while he is still asleep. The seven kids quickly brought the stones, and they put as _ny as _ny of the

17、m into his sto _ch as it would hold. Then the mother hurriedly sewed him up again. He was not aware of anything and never on _ stirred. The wolf finally awoke and got up onto his legs. Because the stones in his sto _ch _de him very thirsty, he wanted to go to a well and get a drink. But when he bega

18、n to walk and to move about, the stones in his sto _ch knocked against each other and rattled. Then he cried out: What rumbles and tumbles, Inside of me. I thought it was kids, But its stones that they be. When he got to the well and leaned over the water to drink, the heavy stones pulled him in, an

19、d he drowned miserably. When the seven kids saw what had happened, they ran up and cried out, The wolf is dead! The wolf is dead! And with their mother they dan _d for joy around about the well. 从前有只老山羊。牠生了七只小山羊，并且像所有母亲爱孩子一样爱牠们。一天，牠要到森林里去取食物，便把七个孩子全叫过来，对牠们说：亲爱的孩子们，我要到森林里去一下，你们一定要提防狼。要是让狼进屋，它会把你们全部吃掉

20、的连皮带毛通通吃光。这个坏蛋常常把自己化装成别的样子，但是，你们只要一听到他那粗哑的声音、一看到牠那黑黑的爪子，就能认出牠来。小山羊们说：好妈妈，我们会当心的。你去吧，不用担心。老山羊咩咩地叫了几声，便放心地去了。 没过多久，有人敲门，而且大声说：开门哪，我的好孩子。你们的妈妈回来了，还给你们每个人带来了一点东西。可是，小山羊们听到粗哑的声音，立刻知道是狼来了。我们不开门，牠们大声说，你不是我们的妈妈。我们的妈妈说话时声音又软又好听，而你的声音非常粗哑，你是狼!於是，狼跑到杂货商那里，买了一大块白垩土，吃了下去，结果嗓子变细了。然后它又回来敲山羊家的门，喊道：开门哪，我的好孩子。你们的妈妈回来

21、了，给你们每个人都带了点东西。可是狼把牠的黑爪子搭在了窗户上，小山羊们看到黑爪子便一起叫道：我们不开门。我们的妈妈没有你这样的黑爪子。你是狼!於是狼跑到麵包师那里，对他说：我的脚受了点伤，给我用麵团揉一揉。等麵包师用麵团给牠揉过之后，狼又跑到磨坊主那里，对他说：在我的脚上洒点白麵粉。磨坊主想：狼肯定是想去骗甚么人，便拒绝了它的要求。可是狼说：要是你不给我洒麵粉，我就把你吃掉。磨坊主害怕了，只好洒了点麵粉，把狼的爪子弄成了白色。人就是这个德行! 这个坏蛋第三次跑到山羊家，一面敲门一面说：开门哪，孩子们。你们的好妈妈回来了，还从森林里给你们每个人带回来一些东西。小山羊们叫道：你先把脚给我们看看，好

22、让我们知道你是不是我们的妈妈。狼把爪子伸进窗户，小山羊们看到爪子是白的，便相信它说的是真话，打开了屋门。然而进来的是狼!小山羊们吓坏了，一个个都想躲起来。第一只小山羊跳到了桌子下，第二只钻进了被子，第三只躲到了炉子里，第四只跑进了厨房，第五只藏在柜子里，第六只挤在洗脸盆下，第七只爬进了钟盒里。狼把它们一个个都找了出来，毫不客气地把它们全都吞进了肚子。只有躲在钟盒里的那只最小的山羊没有被狼发现。狼吃饱了之后，心满意足地离开了山羊家，来到绿草地上的一棵大树下，躺下身子开始呼呼大睡起来。 没过多久，老山羊从森林里回来了。啊!牠都看到了些甚么呀!屋门敞开着，桌子、椅子和凳子倒在地上，洗脸盆摔成了碎片，

23、被子和枕头掉到了地上。牠找牠的孩子，可哪里也找不到。牠一个个地叫它们的名字，可是没有一个出来答应牠。最后，当牠叫到最小的山羊的名字时，一个细细的声音喊叫道：好妈妈，我在钟盒里。老山羊把牠抱了出来，牠告诉妈妈狼来过了，并且把哥哥姐姐们都吃掉了。大家可以想像出老山羊失去孩子后哭得多么伤心! 老山羊最后伤心地哭着走了出去，最小的山羊也跟着跑了出去。当牠们来到草地上时，狼还躺在大树下睡觉，呼噜声震得树枝直抖。老山羊从前后左右打量着狼，看到那傢伙鼓得老高的肚子里有甚么东西在动个不停。天哪，牠说，我的那些被牠吞进肚子里当晚餐的可怜的孩子，难道牠们还活着吗?最小的山羊跑回家，拿来了剪刀和针线。老山羊剪开那恶

24、魔的肚子，刚剪了第一刀，一只小羊就把头探了出来。牠继续剪下去，六只小羊一个个都跳了出来，全都活着，而且一点也没有受伤，因为那贪婪的坏蛋是把牠们整个吞下去的。这是多么令人开心的事啊!牠们拥抱自己的妈妈，像当新娘的裁缝一样高兴得又蹦又跳。可是羊妈妈说：你们去找些大石头来。我们趁这坏蛋还没有醒过来，把石头装到牠的肚子里去。七只小山羊飞快地拖来很多石头，拚命地往狼肚子里塞;然后山羊妈妈飞快地把狼肚皮缝好，结果狼一点也没有发觉，牠根本都没有动弹。 狼终於睡醒了。牠站起身，想到井边去喝水，因为肚子里装着的石头使它口渴得要死。可牠刚一迈脚，肚子里的石头便互相碰撞，发出哗啦哗啦的响声。牠叫道： 是甚么东西，在

25、碰撞我的骨头? 我以为是六只小羊，可怎么感觉像是石头? 牠到了井边，弯腰去喝水，可沉重的石头压得牠掉进了井里，淹死了。七只小山羊看到后，全跑到这里来叫道：狼死了!狼死了!牠们高兴地和妈妈一起围着水井跳起舞来。 The Six Swans Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm A king was on _ hunting in a great forest, and he chased his prey so eagerly that none of his men could follow him. As evening approached he stopped and look

26、ed around, and saw that he was lost. He looked for a way out of the woods, but he could not find one. Then he saw an old wo _n with a bobbing head who approached him. She was a witch. My dear wo _n, he said to her, can you show me the way through the woods? Oh, yes, your _jesty, she answered, I can

27、indeed. However, there is one condition, and if you do not fulfill it, you will never get out of these woods, and will _ here of hunger. What sort of condition is it? asked the king. I have a daughter, said the old wo _n, who is as beautiful as anyone you could find in all the world, and who well de

28、serves to bee your wife. If you will _ke her your queen, I will show you the way out of the woods. The king was so frightened that he consented, and the old wo _n led him to her cottage, where her daughter was sitting by the fire. She re _ived the king as if she had been expecting him. He saw that s

29、he was very beautiful, but in spite of this he did not like her, and he could not look at her without secretly shuddering. After he had lifted the girl onto his horse, the old wo _n showed him the way, and the king arrived again at his royal castle, where the wedding was _lebrated. The king had been

30、 _rried before, and by his first wife he had seven children, six boys and one girl. He loved them more than anything else in the world. Fearing that the stepmother might not treat them well, even do them harm, he took them to a secluded castle which stood in the middle of a forest. It was so well hi

31、dden, and the way was so difficult to find, that he himself would not have found it, if a wise wo _n had not given him a ball of _gic yarn. Whenever he threw it down in front of him, it would unwind itself and show him the way. However, the king went out to his dear children so often that the queen

32、took noti _ of his absen _. She was curious and wanted to know what he was doing out there all alone in the woods. She gave a large sum of money to his servants, and they revealed the secret to her. They also told her about the ball of yarn which could point out the way all by itself. She did not re

33、st until she discovered where the king kept the ball of yarn. Then she _de some little shirts of white silk. Having learned the art of witchcraft from her mother, she sewed a _gic charm into each one of them. Then one day when the king had ridden out hunting, she took the little shirts and went into

34、 the woods. The ball of yarn showed her the way. The children, seeing that someone was approaching from afar, thought that their dear father was ing to them. Full of joy, they ran to meet him. Then she threw one of the shirts over each of them, and when the shirts touched their bo _s they were trans

35、formed into swans, and they flew away over the woods. The queen went home very pleased, believing that she had gotten rid of her stepchildren. However, the girl had not run out with her brothers, and the queen knew nothing about her. The next day the king went to visit his children, but he found no

36、one there but the girl. Where are your brothers? asked the king. Oh, dear father, she answered, they have gone away and left me alone. Then she told him that from her window she had seen how her brothers had flown away over the woods as swans. She showed him the feathers that they had dropped into t

37、he courtyard, and which she had gathered up. The king mourned, but he did not think that the queen had done this wicked deed. Fearing that the girl would be stolen away from him as well, he wanted to take her away with him, but she was afraid of her stepmother and begged the king to let her stay jus

38、t this one more night in the castle in the woods. The poor girl thought, I can no longer stay here. I will go and look for my brothers. And when night came she ran away and went straight into the woods. She walked the whole night long without stopping, and the next day as well, until she was too tir

39、ed to walk any further. Then she saw a hunters hut and went inside. She found a room with six little beds, but she did not dare to get into one of them. Instead she crawled under one of them and lay down on the hard ground where she intended to spend the night. The sun was about to go down when she

40、heard a rushing sound and saw six swans fly in through the window. Landing on the floor, they blew on one another, and blew all their feathers off. Then their swan-skins came off just like shirts. The girl looked at them and recognized her brothers. She was happy and crawled out from beneath the bed

41、. The brothers were no less happy to see their little sister, but their happiness did not last long. You cannot stay here, they said to her. This is a robbers den. If they e home and find you, they will murder you. Cant you protect me? asked the little sister. No, they answered. We can take off our

42、swan-skins for only a quarter hour each evening. Only during that time do we have our hu _n forms. After that we are again transformed into swans. Crying, the little sister said, Can you not be redeemed? Alas, no, they answered. The conditions are too difficult. You would not be allowed to speak or

43、to laugh for six years, and in that time you would have to sew together six little shirts from asters for us. And if a single word were to e from your mouth, all your work would be lost. After the brothers had said this, the quarter hour was over, and they flew out the window again as swans. Neverth

44、eless, the girl firmly resolved to redeem her brothers, even if it should cost her her life. She left the hunters hut, went to the middle of the woods, seated herself in a tree, and there spent the night. The next morning she went out and gathered asters and began to sew. She could not speak with an

45、yone, and she had no desire to laugh. She sat there, looking only at her work. After she had already spent a long time there it happened that the king of the land was hunting in these woods. His hunt _en came to the tree where the girl was sitting. They called to her, saying, Who are you? But she di

46、d not answer. Come down to us, they said. We will not harm you. She only shook her head. When they pressed her further with questions, she threw her golden neckla _ down to them, thinking that this would satisfy them. But they did not stop, so she then threw her belt down to them, and when this did

47、not help, her garters, and then one thing at a time everything that she had on and could do without, until finally she had nothing left but her shift. The hunt _en, however, not letting themselves be dissuaded, climbed the tree, lifted the girl down, and took her to the king. The king asked, Who are

48、 you? What are you doing in that tree? But she did not answer. He asked her in every language that he knew, but she re _ined as speechless as a fish. Because she was so beautiful, the kings heart was touched, and he fell deeply in love with her. He put his cloak around her, lifted her onto his horse

49、 in front of himself, and took her to his castle. There he had her dressed in rich garments, and she glistened in her beauty like bright daylight, but no one could get a word from her. At the table he seated her by his side, and her modest _nners and courtesy pleased him so much that he said, My des

50、ire is to _rry her, and no one else in the world. A few days later they were _rried. Now the king had a wicked mother who was dissatisfied with this _rriage and spoke ill of the young queen. Who knows, she said, where the girl who cannot speak es from? She is not worthy of a king. A year later, afte

51、r the queen had brought her first child into the world, the old wo _n took it away from her while she was asleep, and _eared her mouth with blood. Then she went to the king and aused her of being a cannibal. The king could not believe this, and would not allow anyone to harm her. She, however, sat t

52、he whole time sewing on the shirts, and caring for nothing else. The next time, when she again gave birth to a beautiful boy, the de _itful mother-in-law did the same thing again, but the king could not bring himself to believe her ausations. He said, She is too pious and good to do anything like th

53、at. If she were not speechless, and if she could defend herself, her inno _n _ would e to light. But when the old wo _n stole away a newly born child for the third time, and aused the queen, who did not defend herself with a single word, the king had no choi _ but to bring her to justi _, and she wa

54、s senten _d to _ by fire. When the day came for the senten _ to be carried out, it was also the last day of the six years during which she had not been permitted to speak or to laugh, and she had thus delivered her dear brothers from the _gic curse. The six shirts were finished. Only the left sleeve

55、 of the last one was missing. When she was led to the stake, she laid the shirts on her arm. Standing there, as the fire was about to be lighted, she looked around, and six swans came flying through the air. Seeing that their redemption was near, her heart leapt with joy. The swans rushed towards he

56、r, swooping down so that she could throw the shirts over them. As soon as the shirts touched them their swan-skins fell off, and her brothers stood before her in their own bo _s, vigorous and handsome. However, the youngest was missing his left arm. In its pla _ he had a swans wing. They embra _d an

57、d kissed one another. Then the queen went to the king, who was greatly moved, and she began to speak, saying, Dearest hu _and, now I _y speak and reveal to you that I am inno _nt, and falsely aused. Then she told him of the treachery of the old wo _n who had taken away their three children and hidden them. Then to the kings great joy they were brought forth. As a punishment, the
