If the man scolded her, she was always ready with her tongue, and said, "Well, how should I wind it, when I have no reel?Just you go into the forest and get me one.""If that is all," said the man, "then I will go into the forest, and get some wood for making reels."Then the woman was afraid that if he had the wood he would make her a reel of it, and she would have to wind her yarn off, and then begin to spin again.She bethought herself a little, and then a lucky idea occurred to her, and she secretly followed the man into the forest, and when he had climbed into a tree to choose and cutthe wood, she crept into the thicket below where he could not see her, and cried, "He who cuts wood for reels shall die, And he who winds, shall perish." The man listened, laid down his axe for a moment, and began to consider what that could mean. "Hollo," he said at last, "what can that have been; my ears must have been singing, I won't alarm myself for nothing." So he again seized the axe, and began to hew, then again there came a cry from below: "He who cuts wood for reels shall die, And he who winds, shall perish." He stopped, and felt afraid and alarmed, and pondered over the circumstance. But when a few moments had passed, he took heart again, and a third time he stretched out his hand for the axe, and began to cut. But some one called out a third time, and said loudly,"He who cuts wood for reels shall die, And he who winds, shall perish." That was enough for him, and all inclination had departed from him, so he hastily descended the tree, and set out on his way home. The woman ran as fast as she could by by-ways so as to get home first. So when he entered the parlour, she put on an innocent look as if nothing had happened, and said, "Well, have you brought a nice piece of wood for reels?""No," said he, "I see very well that winding won't do," and told her what had happened to him in the forest, andfrom that time forth left her in peace about it. Neverthless after some time, the man again began to complain of the disorder in the house. "Wife," said he, "it is really a shame that the spun yarn should lie there all entangled!" "I'll tell you what," said she, "as we still don't come by any reel, go you up into the loft, and I will stand down below, and will throw the yarn up to you, and you will throw it down to me, and so we shall get a skein after all." "Yes, that will do," said the man. So they did that, and when it was done, he said, "The yarn is in skeins, now it must be boiled." The woman was again distressed; She certainly said, "Yes, we will boil it next morning early." but she was secretly contriving another trick. Early in the morning she got up, lighted a fire, and put the kettle on, only instead of the yarn, she put in a lump of tow, and let it boil. After that she went to the man who was still lying in bed, and said to him, "I must just go out, you must get up and look after the yarn which is in the kettle on the fire, but you must be at hand at once; mind that, for if the cock should happen to crow, and you are not attending to the yarn, it will become tow." The man was willing and took good care not to loiter. He got up as quickly as he could, and went into the kitchen. But when he reached the kettle and peeped in,he saw, to his horror, nothing but a lump of tow. Then the poor man was as still as a mouse, thinking he had neglected it, and was to blame, and in future said no more about yarn and spinning.But you yourself must own she was an odious woman!经典格林童话故事英文版篇二：金钥匙Once in the wintertime when the snow was very deep， a poor boy had to go out and fetch wood on a sled. After he had gathered it together and loaded it， he did not want to go straight home， because he was so frozen， but instead to make a fire and warm himself a little first. So he scraped the snow away， and while he was thus clearing the ground he found a small golden key. Now he believed that where there was a key， there must also be a lock， so he dug in the ground and found a little iron chest. "If only the key fits!" he thought. "Certainly there are valuable things in the chest." He looked， but there was no keyhole. Finally he found one， but so small that it could scarcely be seen. He tried the key， and fortunately it fitted. Then he turned it once， and now we must wait until he has finished unlocking it and has opened the lid. Then we shall find out what kind of wonderful things there were in the little chest.经典格林童话故事英文版篇三：农夫与魔鬼There was once on a time a far-sighted, crafty peasant whose tricks were much talked about. The best story is, however, how he once got hold of the Devil, and made a fool of him. The peasant had one day been working in his field, and as twilight had set in, was making ready for the journeyhome, when he saw a heap of burning coals in the middle of his field, and when, full of astonishment, he went up to it, a little black devil was sitting on the live coals. "Thou dost indeed sit upon a treasure!" said the peasant. "Yes, in truth," replied the Devil, "on a treasure which contains more gold and silver than thou hast ever seen in thy life!" - "The treasure lies in my field and belongs to me," said the peasant. "It is thine," answered the Devil, "if thou wilt for two years give me the half of everything thy field produces. Money I have enough of, but I have a desire for the fruits of the earth." The peasant agreed to the bargain. "In order, however, that no dispute may arise about the division," said he, "everything that is above ground shall belong to thee, and what is under the earth to me." The Devil was quite satisfied with that, but the cunning peasant had sown turnips.Now when the time for harvest came, the Devil appeared and wanted to take away his crop; but he found nothing buttheyellow withered leaves, while the peasant, full of delight, was digging up his turnips. "Thou hast had the best of it for once," said the Devil, "but the next time that won't do. What grows above ground shall be thine, and what is under it, mine." - "I am willing," replied the peasant; but when the time came to sow, he did not again sow turnips, but wheat. The grain became ripe, and the peasant went into the field and cut the full stalks down to the ground. When the Devil came, he found nothing but the stubble, and went away in a fury down into a cleft in the rocks. "That is the way to cheat the Devil," said the peasant, and went and fetched away the treasure.经典格林童话故事英文版篇四：巨人和裁缝A certain tailor who was great at boasting but ill at doing, took it into his head to go abroad for a while, and look about the world. As soon as he could manage it, he left his workshop, and wandered on his way, over hill and dale, sometimes hither, sometimes thither, but ever on and on. Once when he was out he perceived in the blue distance a steep hill, and behind it a tower reaching to the clouds, which rose up out of a wild dark forest. "Thunder and lightning," cried the tailor, "what is that?" and as he was strongly goaded by curiosity, he went boldly towards it. But what made the tailor open his eyes andmouth when he came near it, was to see that the tower had legs, and leapt in one bound over the steep hill, and was now standing as an all powerful giant before him. "What dost thou want here, thou tiny fly's leg?" cried the giant, with a voice as if it were thundering on every side. The tailor whimpered, "I want just to look about and see if I can earn a bit of bread for myself, in this forest." If that is what thou art after," said the giant, "thou mayst have a place with me." - "If it must be, why not? What wages shall I receive?" - "Thou shalt hear what wages thou shalt have. Every year three hundred and sixty-five days, and when it is leap-year, one more into the bargain. Does that suitthee?" - "All right," replied the tailor, and thought, in his own mind, "a man must cut his coat according to his cloth;I will try to get away as fast as I can." On this the giant said to him, "Go, little ragamuffin, and fetch me a jug of water." - "Had I not better bring the well itself at once, and the springtoo?" asked the boaster, and went with the pitcher to the water. "What! the well and the spring too," growled the giant in his beard, for he was rather clownish and stupid, and began to be afraid. "That knave is not a fool, he has a wizard in his body. Be on thy guard, old Hans, this is no serving-man for thee." When the tailor had brought the water, the giant badehim go into the forest, and cut a couple of blocks of wood and bring them back. "Why not the whole forest, at once, with one stroke. The whole forest, young and old, with all that is there, both rough and smooth?" asked the little tailor, and went to cut the wood. "What! the whole forest, young and old, with all that is there, both rough and smooth, and the well and its spring too," growled the credulous giant in his beard, and was still more terrified. "The knave can do much more than bake apples, and has a wizard in his body. Be on thy guard, old Hans, this is no serving-man for thee!" When the tailor had brought the wood, the giant commanded him to shoot two or three wild boars for supper. "Why not rather a thousand at one shot, and bring them all here?" inquired the ostentatious tailor. "What!" cried the timid giant in great terror; "Let well alone to-night, and lie down to rest."The giant was so terribly alarmed that he could not close an eye all night long for thinking what would be the best way to get rid of this accursed sorcerer of a servant. Time brings counsel. Next morning the giant and the tailor went to a marsh, round which stood a number of willow-trees. Then said the giant, "Hark thee, tailor, seat thyself on one of the willow-branches, I long of all things to see if thou art big enough to bend itdown." All at once the tailor was sitting on it, holding his breath, and making himself so heavy that the bough bent down. When, however, he was compelled to draw breath, it hurried him (for unfortunately he had not put hisvgoose in his pocket) so high into the air that he never was seen again, and this to the great delight of the giant. If the tailor has not fallen down again, he must be hovering about in the air.。

Once upon a time... 英语童话故事：小红帽There lived in a certain village a little country girl, the prettiest creature was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her; and her grandmother doted on her still more. This good woman had made for her a little red riding-hood; which became the girl so extremely well that everybody called her Little Red Riding-Hood.One day her mother, having made some custards, said to her: "Go, my dear, and see how thy grandmamma does, for I hear she has been very ill; carry her a custard, and this little pot of butter."Little Red Riding-Hood set out immediately to go to her grandmother, who lived in another village.As she was going through the wood, she met with Gaffer Wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he dared not, because of some faggot-makers hard by in the forest. He asked her whither she was going. The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and hear a wolf talk, said to him: "I am going to see my grandmamma and carry her a custard and a little pot of butter from my mamma.""Does she live far off?" said the Wolf."Oh! ay," answered Little Red Riding-Hood; "it is beyond thatmill you see there, at the first house in the village.""Well," said the Wolf, "and I'll go and see her too. I'll go this way and you go that, and we shall see who will be there soonest."The Wolf began to run as fast as he could, taking the nearest way, and the little girl went by that farthest about, diverting herself in gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and making nosegays of such little flowers as she met with. The Wolf was not long before he got to the old woman's house. He knocked at the door--tap, tap."Who's there?""Your grandchild, Little Red Riding-Hood," replied the Wolf, counterfeiting her voice; "who has brought you a custard and a little pot of butter sent you by mamma."The good grandmother, who was in bed, because she was somewhat ill, cried out"Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."The Wolf pulled the bobbin, and the door opened, and then presently he fell upon the good woman and ate her up in a moment, for it was above three days that he had not touched a bit. He then shut the door and went into the grandmother's bed, expecting Little Red Riding- Hood, who came some time afterward and knocked at the door--tap, tap."Who's there?"Little Red Riding-Hood, hearing the big voice of the Wolf, was at first afraid; but believing her grandmother had got a cold and was hoarse, answered:" 'Tis your grandchild, Little Red Riding-Hood, who has brought you a custard and a little pot of butter mamma sends you."The Wolf cried out to her, softening his voice as much as he could:"Pull the bobbin, and the latch will go up."Little Red Riding-Hood pulled the bobbin, and the door opened.The Wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bed-clothes:"Put the custard and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come and lie down with me."Little Red Riding-Hood undressed herself and went into bed, where, being greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her night-clothes, she said to her:"Grandmamma, what great arms you have got!""That is the better to hug thee, my dear.""Grandmamma, what great legs you have got!""That is to run the better, my child.""Grandmamma, what great ears you have got!""That is to hear the better, my child.""Grandmamma, what great eyes you have got!""It is to see the better, my child.""Grandmamma, what great teeth you have got!""That is to eat thee up."And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding-Hood, and ate her all up.。

格林童话英语故事阅读(2)格林童话英语故事：the GOLDEN BIRDA certain king had a beautiful garden， and in the garden stood a tree which bore goldenapples. These apples were always counted， and about the time when they began to grow ripeit was found that every night one of them was gone. The king became very angry at this， andordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree. The gardener set his eldest son towatch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep，and in the morning another of the apples wasmissing. Then the second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep， andin the morning another apple was gone. Then the third son offered to keep watch; but thegardener at first would not let him， for fear some harm should come to him：however，atlast he consented， and the young man laid himself under the tree to watch. As the clock strucktwelve he heard a rustling noise in the air， and a bird came flying that was of pure gold; andas it was snapping at one of the apples with its beak， the gardener's son jumped up and shotan arrow at it. But the arrow did the bird no harm; only it dropped a golden feather from itstail， and then flew away. The golden feather was brought to the king in the morning，and allthe council was called together. Everyone aGREed that it was worth more than all the wealth ofthe kingdom：but the king said， 'One feather is of no use to me， I must have the wholebird.'then the gardener's eldest son set out and thought to find the golden bird very easily; andwhen he had gone but a little way，he came to a wood， and by the side of the wood he saw afox sitting; so he took his bow and made ready to shoot at it. Thenthe fox said， 'Do notshoot me， for I will give you good counsel;I know what your business is，and that youwant to find the golden bird. You will reach a village in the evening; and when you get there，you will see two inns opposite to each other， one of which is very pleasant and beautiful tolook at： go not in there，but rest for the night in the other， though it may appear to you tobe very poor and mean.' But the son thought to himself，'What can such a beast as this knowabout the matter?' So he shot his arrow at the fox; but he missed it， and it set up its tailabove its back and ran into the wood. Then he went his way， and in the evening came to thevillage where the two inns were; and in one of these were people singing， and dancing， andfeasting; but the other looked very dirty， and poor. 'I should be very silly，' said he， 'if Iwent to that shabby house， and left this charming place'; so he went into the smarthouse， and ate and drank at his ease， and forgot the bird， and his country too.Time passed on; and as the eldest son did not come back，and no tidings were heard ofhim， the second son set out， and the same thing happened to him. He met the fox， whogave him the good advice： but when he came to the two inns， his eldest brother wasstanding at the window where the merrymaking was，and called to him to come in; and hecould not withstand the temptation，but went in，and forgot the golden bird and hiscountry in the same manner.Time passed on again， and the youngest son too wished to set out into the wide world toseek for the golden bird; but his father would not listen to it for a long while， for he was veryfond of his son， and was afraid that some ill luck might happen to him also， and prevent hiscoming back. However， at last it was aGREed he should go， for he would not rest at home;and as hecame to the wood， he met the fox， and heard the same good counsel. But he wasthankful to the fox， and did not attempt his life as his brothers had done; so the fox said，'Sit upon my tail，and you will travel faster.' So he sat down， and the fox began to run， andaway they went over stock and stone so quick that their hair whistled in the wind.When they came to the village， the son followed the fox's counsel， and without lookingabout him went to the shabby inn and rested there all night at his ease. In the morning camethe fox again and met him as he was beginning his journey， and said，'Go straight forward，till you come to a castle， before which lie a whole troop of soldiers fast asleep and snoring：take no notice of them， but go into the castle and pass on and on till you come to a room，where the golden bird sits in a wooden cage; close by it stands a beautiful golden cage; butdo not try to take the bird out of the shabby cage and put it into the handsome one，otherwise you will repent it.' Then the fox stretched out his tail again， and the young man sathimself down， and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.Before the castle gate all was as the fox had said： so the son went in and found the chamberwhere the golden bird hung in a wooden cage， and below stood the golden cage， and thethree golden apples that had been lost were lying close by it. Then thought he to himself， 'Itwill be a very droll thing to bring away such a fine bird in this shabby cage'; so he opened thedoor and took hold of it and put it into the golden cage. But the bird set up such a loudscream that all the soldiers awoke， and they took him prisoner and carried him before theking. The next morning the court sat to judge him; and when all was heard， it sentenced himto die，unless he should bring the king the golden horsewhich could run as swiftly as thewind; and if he did this， he was to have the golden bird given him for his own.So he set out once more on his journey， sighing， and in GREat despair， when on a suddenhis friend the fox met him，and said，'You see now what has happened on account of yournot listening to my counsel. I will still， however， tell you how to find the golden horse， if youwill do as I bid you. You must go straight on till you come to the castle where the horse standsin his stall： by his side will lie the groom fast asleep and snoring： take away the horsequietly， but be sure to put the old leathern saddle upon him， and not the golden one that isclose by it.' Then the son sat down on the fox's tail， and away they went over stock andstone till their hair whistled in the wind.All went right，and the groom lay snoring with his hand upon the golden saddle. But whenthe son looked at the horse，he thought it a GREat pity to put the leathern saddle upon it. 'Iwill give him the good one，' said he; 'I am sure he deserves it.' As he took up the goldensaddle the groom awoke and cried out so loud， that all the guards ran in and took himprisoner， and in the morning he was again brought before the court to be judged，and wassentenced to die. But it was agreed， that， if he could bring thither the beautiful princess， heshould live， and have the bird and the horse given him for his own.then he went his way very sorrowful; but the old fox came and said， 'Why did not you listento me? If you had， you would have carried away both the bird and the horse; yet will I oncemore give you counsel. Go straight on， and in the evening you will arrive at a castle. Attwelve o'clock at night the princess goes to the bathing-house： go up to her and give her akiss，and she will let you lead her away; but take care you do not sufferher to go and takeleave of her father and mother.' Then the fox stretched out his tail，and so away they wentover stock and stone till their hair whistled again.As they came to the castle， all was as the fox had said， and at twelve o'clock the young manmet the princes going to the bath and gave her the kiss，and she aGREed to run away withhim， but begged with many tears that he would let her take leave of her father. At first herefused， but she wept still more and more， and fell at his feet， till at last he consented; butthe moment she came to her father's house the guards awoke and he was taken prisoneragain.then he was brought before the king， and the king said，'You shall never have my daughterunless in eight days you dig away the hill that stops the view from my window.' Now this hill wasso big that the whole world could not take it away：and when he had worked for seven days，and had done very little，the fox came and said. 'Lie down and go to sleep; I will work foryou.' And in the morning he awoke and the hill was gone; so he went merrily to the king， andtold him that now that it was removed he must give him the princess.then the king was obliged to keep his word， and away went the young man and the princess;and the fox came and said to him， 'We will have all three， the princess， the horse， and thebird.' 'Ah!' said the young man， 'that would be a GREat thing，but how can you contriveit?''If you will only listen，' said the fox， 'it can be done. When you come to the king， and heasks for the beautiful princess，you must say， "Here she is!" Then he will be very joyful;and you will mount the golden horse that they are to give you， and put out your hand to takeleave of them; but shake hands with theprincess last. Then lift her quickly on to the horsebehind you; clap your spurs to his side， and gallop away as fast as you can.' All went right： then the fox said， 'When you come to the castle where the bird is， I will staywith the princess at the door，and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he seesthat it is the right horse， he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still， and say that youwant to look at it， to see whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into yourhand， ride away.' This， too， happened as the fox said; they carried off the bird， the princess mountedagain， and they rode on to a GREat wood. Then the fox came， and said， 'Pray kill me， andcut off my head and my feet.' But the young man refused to do it： so the fox said， 'I will atany rate give you good counsel： beware of two things; ransom no one from the gallows，and sit down by the side of no river.' Then away he went. 'Well，' thought the young man， 'itis no hard matter to keep that advice.' He rode on with the princess，till at last he came to the village where he had left his twobrothers. And there he heard a GREat noise and uproar; and when he asked what was thematter，the people said， 'Two men are going to be hanged.' As he came nearer， he saw thatthe two men were his brothers， who had turned robbers; so he said， 'Cannot they in anyway be saved?' But the people said 'No，' unless he would bestow all his money upon therascals and buy their liberty. Then he did not stay to think about the matter，but paid whatwas asked，and his brothers were given up，and went on with him towards their home.And as they came to the wood where the fox first met them，it was so cool and pleasant thatthe two brothers said， 'Let us sit down by the side of the river，and rest a while，to eatanddrink.' So he said， 'Yes，' and forgot the fox's counsel， and sat down on the side of theriver; and while he suspected nothing，they came behind，and threw him down the bank，and took the princess， the horse， and the bird， and went home to the king their master，and said. 'All this have we won by our labour.' Then there was GREat rejoicing made; but thehorse would not eat， the bird would not sing， and the princess wept.the youngest son fell to the bottom of the river's bed：luckily it was nearly dry， but his boneswere almost broken， and the bank was so steep that he could find no way to get out. Thenthe old fox came once more，and scolded him for not following his advice; otherwise no evilwould have befallen him：'Yet，' said he， 'I cannot leave you here， so lay hold of my tail andhold fast.' Then he pulled him out of the river， and said to him， as he got upon the bank，'Your brothers have set watch to kill you，if they find you in the kingdom.' So he dressedhimself as a poor man， and came secretly to the king's court， and was scarcely within thedoors when the horse began to eat，and the bird to sing，and princess left off weeping. Thenhe went to the king， and told him all his brothers' roguery; and they were seized andpunished，and he had the princess given to him again; and after the king's death he was heirto his kingdom.A long while after， he went to walk one day in the wood，and the old fox met him， andbesought him with tears in his eyes to kill him， and cut off his head and feet. And at last he didso，and in a moment the fox was changed into a man， and turned out to be the brother ofthe princess， who had been lost a GREat many many years.格林童话英语故事：the RoseJacob and Wilhelm GrimmOnce there was a poor woman who had two children.

下面是我为您整理的格林童话故事英语，希望对你有所帮助!格林童话故事英语篇一：不可置信的童话I will tell you something. I saw two roasted fowls flying; they flew quickly and had their breasts turned to heaven and their backs to hell, and an anvil and a mill-stone swam across the Rhine prettily, slowly, and gently, and a frog sat on the ice at Whitsuntide and ate a ploughshare. Three fellows who wanted to catch a hare, went on crutches and stilts; one of them was deaf, the second blind, the third dumb, and the fourth could not stir a step. Do you want to know how it was done? First, the blind man saw the hare running across the field, the dumb one called to the lame one, and the lame one seized it by the neck.There were certain men who wished to sail on dry land, and they set their sails in the wind, and sailed away over great fields. Then they sailed over a high mountain, and there they were miserably drowned. A crab was chasing a hare which was running away at full speed, and high up on the roof lay a cowwhich had climbed up there. In that country the flies are as big as the goats are here. Open the window, that the lies may fly out.格林童话故事英语篇二：铁约翰THERE was once on a time a King who had a great forest near his palace, full of all kinds of wild animals. One day he sent out a huntsman to shoot him a roe, but he did not come back. "Perhaps some accident has befallen him," said the King, and the next day he sent out two more huntsmen who were to search for him, but they too stayed away. Then on the third day, he sent for all his huntsmen, and said, "Scour the whole forest through, and do not give up until ye have found all three." But of these also, none came home again, and of the pack of hounds which they had taken with them, none were seen more. From that time forth, no one would any longer venture into the forest, and it lay there in deep stillness and solitude, and nothing was seen of it, but sometimes an eagle or a hawk flying over it. This lasted for many years, when a strange huntsman announced himself to the King as seeking a situation, and offered to go into the dangerous forest. The King, however, would not give his consent, and said, "It is not safe in there;I fear it would fare with thee no better than with the others,and thou wouldst never come out again." The huntsman replied, "Lord, I will venture it at my own risk, of fear I know nothing."The huntsman therefore betook himself with his dog to the forest. It was not long before the dog fell in with some game on the way, and wanted to pursue it; but hardly had the dog run two steps when it stood before a deep pool, could go no farther, and a naked arm stretched itself out of the water, seized it, and drew it under, When the huntsman saw that, he went back and fetched three men to come with buckets and bale out the water. When they could see to the bottom there lay a wild man whose body was brown like rusty iron, and whose hair hung over his face down to his knees. They bound him with cords, and led him away to the castle. There was great astonishment over the wild man; the King, however, had him put in an iron cage in his court-yard, and forbade the door to be opened on pain of death, and the Queen herself was to take the key into her keeping. And from this time forth every one could again go into the forest with safety.The King had a son of eight years, who was once playing in the court-yard, and while he was playing, his golden ball fell into the cage. The boy ran thither and said, "Give me my ball out."格林童话故事英语篇三：克诺伊斯特和他的三个儿子BETWEEN Werrel and Soist there lived a man whose name was Knoist, and he had three sons. One was blind, the other lame, and the third stark-naked. Once on a time they went into a field, and there they saw a hare.The blind one shot it, the lame one caught it, the naked one put it in his pocket. Then they came to a mighty big lake, on which there were three boats, one sailed, one sank, the third had no bottom to it.They all three got into the one with no bottom to it. Then they came to a mighty big forest in which there was a mighty big tree; in the tree was a mighty big chapel in the chapel was a sexton made of beech-wood and a box-wood parson, who dealt out holy-water with cudgels."How truly happy is that one Who can from holy water run!"格林童话故事英语篇四：懒人海因茨Harry was lazy, and although he had nothing else to do but drive his goat daily to pasture, he nevertheless groaned when he went home after his day's work was done. "It is indeed a heavy burden," said he, "and a wearisome employment to drive a goat into the field this way year after year, till late into the autumn! If one could but lie down and sleep, but no, one must have one's eyes open lest it hurts the youngtrees, or squeezes itself through the hedge into a garden, or runs away altogether. How can one have any rest, or peace of one's life?" He seated himself, collected his thoughts, and considered how he could set his shoulders free from this burden. For a long time all thinking was to no purpose, but suddenly it was as if scales fell from his eyes. "I know what I will do," he cried, "I will marry fat Trina who has also a goat, and can take mine out with hers, and then I shall have no more need to trouble myself."So Harry got up, set his weary legs in motion, and went right across the street, for it was no farther, to where the parents of fat Trina lived, and asked for their industrious and virtuous daughter in marriage. The parents did not reflect long. "Birds of a feather, flock together," they thought, and consented.So fat Trina became Harry's wife, and led out both the goats. Harry had a good time of it, and had no work that he required to rest from but his own idleness. He only went out with her now and then, and said, "I merely do it that I may afterwards enjoy rest more, otherwise one loses all feeling for it."But fat Trina was no less idle. "Dear Harry," said sheone day, "why should we make our lives so toilsome when there is no need for it, and thus ruin the best days of our youth? Would it not be better for us to give the two goats which disturb us every morning in our sweetest sleep with their bleating, to our neighbor, and he will give us a beehive for them. We will put the beehive in a sunny place behind the house, and trouble ourselves no more about it. Bees do not require to be taken care of, or driven into the field; they fly out and find the way home again for themselves, and collect honey without giving the very least trouble." "Thou hast spoken like a sensible woman," replied Harry. "We will carry out thy proposal without delay, and besides all that, honey tastes better and nourishes one better than goat's milk, and it can be kept longer too."The neighbor willingly gave a beehive for the two goats. The bees flew in and out from early morning till late evening without ever tiring, and filled the hive with the most beautiful honey, so that in autumn Harry was able to take a whole pitcherful out of it.。

双语格林童话：牧鹅姑娘Thegoosegirl

双语格林童话：牧鹅姑娘ThegoosegirlAnd when they reached the fields she sat down and began to comb out her hair; then Conrad came up and wanted to seize upon some of it, and she cried:"O wind, blow Conrad's hat away,Make him run after as it flies,While I with my gold hair will play,And do it upin seemly wise."Then the wind came and blew Conrad's hat very far away, so that he had to run after it, and when he came back again her hair was put up again, so that he could pull none of it out; and they tended the geese until the evening.And after they had got home, Conrad went to the old King and said: "I will tend the geese no longer with that girl!" - "Why not?" asked the old King. "Because she vexes me the whole day long," answered Conrad. Then the old King ordered him to tell how it was. "Every morning," said Conrad, "as we pass under the dark gate-way with the geese, there is an old horse's head hanging on the wall, and she says to it:'O Falada, dost thou hang there?'And the head answers:'Princess, dost thou so meanly fare?But if thy mother knew thy pain,Her heart would surely break in twain.'"And besides this, Conrad related all that happened in the fields, and how he was obliged to run after his hat.The old King told him to go to drive the geese next morning as usual, and he himself went behind the gate and listened howthe maiden spoke to Falada; and then he followed them into the fields, and hid himself behind a bush; and he watched the goose-boy and the goose-girl tend the geese; and after a while he saw the girl make her hair all loose, and how it gleamed and shone. Soon she said:"O wind, blow Conrad's hat away,And make him follow as it flies,While I with my gold hair will play,And bind it upin seemly wise."Then there came a gust of wind and away went Conrad's hat, and he after it, while the maiden combed and bound up her hair; and the old King saw all that went on. At last he went unnoticed away, and when the goose-girl came back in the evening he sent for her, and asked the reason of her doing all this. "That I dare not tell you," she answered, "nor can I tell any man of my woe, for when I was in danger of my life I swore an oath not to reveal it." And he pressed her sore, and left her no peace, but he could get nothing out of her. At last he said, "If you will not tell it me, tell it to the iron oven," and went away. Then she crept into the iron oven, and began to weep and to lament, and at last she opened her heart and said, "Here I sit forsaken of all the world, and I am a King's daughter, and a wicked waiting-woman forced me to give up my royal garments and my place at the bridegroom's side, and I am made a goose-girl, and have to do mean service. And if my mother knew, it would break her heart." Now the old King was standing outside by the oven-door listening, and he heard all she said, and he called to her and told her to come out of the oven. And he caused royal clothing to be put upon her, and it was a marvel to see how beautiful she was.The old King then called his son and proved to him that he had the wrong bride, for she was really only a waiting-woman, and that the true bride was here at hand, she who had been the goose-girl. The Prince was glad at heart when he saw her beauty and gentleness; and a great feast was made ready, and all the court people and good friends were bidden to it. The bridegroom sat in the midst with the Princess on one side and the waiting-woman on the other; and the false bride did not know the true one, because she was dazzled with her glittering braveries. When all the company had eaten and drunk and were merry, the old King gave the waiting-woman a question to answer, as to what such an one deserved, who had deceived her masters in such and such a manner, telling the whole story, and ending by asking, "Now, what doom does such an one deserve?" - "No better than this," answered the false bride, "that she be put naked into a cask, studded inside with sharp nails, and be dragged along in it by two white horses from street to street, until she be dead." - "Thou hast spoken thy own doom," said the old King, "as thou hast said, so shall it be done." And when the sentence was fulfilled, the Prince married the true bride, and ever after they ruled over their kingdom in peace and blessedness.。

格林童话故事英文格林童话故事英文JORINDA AND JORINDELThere was once an old castle， that stood in the middle of a deep gloomy wood， and in the castle lived an old fairy. Now this fairy could take any shape she pleased. All the day long she flew about in the form of an owl， or crept about the country like a cat; but at night she always became an old woman again. When any young man came within a hundred paces of her castle， he became quite fixed， and could not move a step till she came and set him free; which she would not do till he had given her his word never to come there again： but when any pretty maiden came within that space she was changed into a bird， and the fairy put her into a cage， and hung her up in a chamber in the castle. There were seven hundred of these cages hanging in the castle， and all with beautiful birds in them.Now there was once a maiden whose name was Jorinda. She was prettier than all the pretty girls that ever were seen before，and a shepherd lad， whose name was Jorindel， was very fond of her， and they were soon to be married. One day they went to walk in the wood， that they might be alone; and Jorindel said，We must take care that we dont go too near to the fairys castle. It was a beautiful evening; the last rays of the setting sun shone bright through the long stems of the trees upon the green underwood beneath，and the turtle-doves sang from the tall birches.Jorinda sat down to gaze upon the sun; Jorindel sat by her side; and both felt sad， they knew not why; but it seemed as if they were to be parted from one another for ever.

Once upon a time there was a sweet little girl. Everyone who saw her liked her, but most of all her grandmother, who did not know what to give the child next. Once she gave her a little cap made of red velvet. Because it suited her so well, and she wanted to wear it all the time, she came to be known as Little Red Cap.One day her mother said to her, "Come Little Red Cap. Here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother. She is sick and weak, and they will do her well. Mind your manners and give her my greetings. Behave yourself on the way, and do not leave the path, or you might fall down and break the glass, and then there will be nothing for your grandmother. And when you enter her parlor, don't forget to say 'Good morning,' and don't peer into all the corners first.""I'll do everything just right," said Little Red Cap, shaking her mother's hand.The grandmother lived out in the woods, a half hour fromthe village. When Little Red Cap entered the woods a wolf came up to her. She did not know what a wicked animal he was, and was not afraid of him."Good day to you, Little Red Cap.""Thank you, wolf.""Where are you going so early, Little Red Cap?""To grandmother's.""And what are you carrying under your apron?""Grandmother is sick and weak, and I am taking her some cake and wine. We baked yesterday, and they should be good for her and give her strength.""Little Red Cap, just where does your grandmother live?""Her house is good quarter hour from here in the woods, under the three large oak trees. There's a hedge of hazel bushes there. You must know the place," said Little Red Cap.The wolf thought to himself, "Now that sweet young thing is a tasty bite for me. She will taste even better than the old woman. You must be sly, and you can catch them both."He walked along a little while with Little Red Cap, then he said, "Little Red Cap, just look at the beautiful flowers that are all around us. Why don't you go and take a look? And I don't believe you can hear how beautifully the birds are singing. You are walking along as though you were on your way to school. It is very beautiful in the woods."Little Red Cap opened her eyes and when she saw the sunbeams dancing to and fro through the trees and how the ground was covered with beautiful flowers, she thought, "If a take a fresh bouquet to grandmother, she will be very pleased. Anyway, it is still early, and I'll be home on time." And she ran off the path into the woods looking for flowers. Each time she pickedone she thought that she could see an even more beautiful one a little way off, and she ran after it, going further and further into the woods. But the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked on the door."Who's there?""Little Red Cap. I'm bringing you some cake and wine. Open the door.""Just press the latch," called out the grandmother. "I'm too weak to get up."The wolf pressed the latch, and the door opened. He stepped inside, went straight to the grandmother's bed, and ate her up. Then he put on her clothes, put her cap on his head, got into her bed, and pulled the curtains shut.Little Red Cap had run after the flowers. After she had gathered so many that she could not carry any more, she remembered her grandmother, and then continued on her way to her house. She found, to her surprise, that the door was open. She walked into the parlor, and everything looked so strange that she thought, "Oh, my God, why am I so afraid? I usually like it at grandmother's."She called out, "Good morning!" but received no answer.Then she went to the bed and pulled back the curtains. Grandmother was lying there with her cap pulled down over her face and looking very strange."Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!""All the better to hear you with.""Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!""All the better to see you with.""Oh, grandmother, what big hands you have!""All the better to grab you with!""Oh, grandmother, what a horribly big mouth you have!""All the better to eat you with!"The wolf had scarcely finished speaking when he jumped from the bed with a single leap and ate up poor Little Red Cap. As soon as the wolf had satisfied his desires, he climbed back into bed, fell asleep, and began to snore very loudly.A huntsman was just passing by. He thought, "The old woman is snoring so loudly. You had better see if something is wrong with her."He stepped into the parlor, and when he approached the bed, he saw the wolf lying there. "So here I find you, you old sinner," he said. "I have been hunting for you a long time."He was about to aim his rifle when it occurred to him that the wolf might have eaten the grandmother, and that she still might be rescued. So instead of shooting, he took a pair of scissors and began to cut open the wolf's belly. After a few cuts he saw the red cap shining through., and after a few more cuts the girl jumped out, crying, "Oh, I was so frightened! It was so dark inside the wolf's body!"And then the grandmother came out as well, alive but hardly able to breathe. Then Little Red Cap fetched some large stones. She filled the wolf's body with them, and when he woke up and tried to run away, the stones were so heavy that he immediately fell down dead.The three of them were happy. The huntsman skinned the wolf and went home with the pelt. The grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine that Little Red Cap had brought. And Little Red Cap thought, "As long as I live, I will never leave the path and run off into the woods by myself if mother tells me not to."They also tell how Little Red Cap was taking some bakedthings to her grandmother another time, when another wolf spoke to her and wanted her to leave the path. But Little Red Cap took care and went straight to grandmother's. She told her that she had seen the wolf, and that he had wished her a good day, but had stared at her in a wicked manner. "If we hadn't been on a public road, he would have eaten me up," she said."Come," said the grandmother. "Let's lock the door, so he can't get in."Soon afterward the wolf knocked on the door and called out, "Open up, grandmother. It's Little Red Cap, and I'm bringing you some baked things."They remained silent, and did not open the door. Gray-Head crept around the house several times, and finally jumped onto the roof. He wanted to wait until Little Red Cap went home that evening, then follow her and eat her up in the darkness. But the grandmother saw what he was up to. There was a large stone trough in front of the house."Fetch a bucket, Little Red Cap," she said to the child. "Yesterday I cooked some sausage. Carry the water that I boiled them with to the trough." Little Red Cap carried water until the large, large trough was clear full. The smell of sausage arose into the wolf's nose. He sniffed and looked down, stretching his neck so long that he could no longer hold himself, and he began to slide. He slid off the roof, fell into the trough, and drowned. And Little Red Cap returned home happily, and no one harmed her.从前有个可爱的小姑娘,谁见了都喜欢,但最喜欢她的是她的奶奶,简直是她要甚么就给她甚么。

格林童话英文版：One-eye,Two-eyes,andThree-eyes

格林童话英文版：One-eye,Two-eyes,andThree-eyesTHERE was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-eyes, because she had three eyes; and her third eye was also in the centre of her forehead. However, as Two-eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, "Thou, with thy two eyes, art no better than the common people; thou dost not belong to us!" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy. It came to pass that Two-eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, "Why art thou weeping, little Two-eyes?" Two-Eyes answered, "Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes at me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave? To-day they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry." Then the wise woman said, "Wipe away thy tears, Two-eyes, and I will tell thee something to stop thee ever suffering from hunger again; just say to thy goat, "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat."and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before thee, with the most delicious food upon it of which thou maysteat as much as thou art inclined for, and when thou hast had enough, and hast no more need of the little table, just say, "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away."and then it will vanish again from thy sight." Hereupon the wise woman departed. But Two-eyes thought, "I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry." and she said, "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat."and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon; and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, "Lord God, be with us always, Amen." and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it. And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her, "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away."and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. "That is a delightful way of keeping house!" thought Two-eyes, and was quite glad and happy.本文In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not remark it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, "There is something wrong about Two-eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her; she must have discovered other ways of getting food." In order that they mightlearn the truth, they resolved to send One-eye with Two-eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-eyes did when she was there, and whether any one brought her anything to eat and drink. So when Two-eyes set out the next time, One-eye went to her and said, "I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in One-eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "Come, One-eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you." One-eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes sang constantly, "One eye, wakest thou? One eye, sleepest thou?"until One-eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-eyes saw that One-eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat."and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried, "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away."and in an instant all was gone. Two-eyes now awakened One-eye, and said, "One-eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, and in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again." So they went home, and again Two-eyes let her little dish stand untouched, and One-eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, "I fell asleep when I was out." Next day the mother said to Three-eyes, "This time thou shalt go and observe if Two-eyes eats anything when she is out, and if any one fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret." So Three-eyes went to Two-eyes, and said, "I willgo with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in Three-eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-eyes." Three-eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes began the same song as before, and sang, "Three eyes, are you waking?"but then, instead of singing,"Three eyes, are you sleeping?"as she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang,"Two eyes, are you sleeping?"and sang all the time,"Three eyes, are you waking? Two eyes, are you sleeping?"Then two of the eyes which Three-eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that Three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when Two-eyes thought that Three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm,"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat."。

格林童话英文版6FaithfulJohn

格林童话英文版6 Faithful John6. Faithful JohnThere was once on a time an old king who was ill, and thought to himself, "I am lying on what must be my death-bed." Then said he, " Tell Faithful John to come to me." Faithful John was his favourite servant, and was so called, because he had for his whole life long been so true to him. When therefore he came beside the bed, the King said to him, "Most faithful John, I feel my end approaching, and have no anxiety except about my son. He is still of tender age, and cannot always know how to guide himself. If thou dost not promise me to teach him everything that he ought to know, and to be his foster-father, I cannot close my eyes in peace." Then answered Faithful John, "I will not forsake him, and will serve him with fidelity, even if it should cost me my life." On this, the old King said, "Now I die in comfort and peace." Then he added, "After my death, thou shalt show him the whole castle:all the chambers, halls, and vaults, and all the treasures which lie therein, but the last chamber in the long gallery, in which is the picture of the princess of the Golden Dwelling, shalt thou not show. If he sees that picture, he will fall violently in love with her, and will drop down in a swoon, and go through great danger for her sake, therefore thou must preserve him from that." And when Faithful John had once more given his promise to the old King about this, the King said no more, but laid his head on his pillow, and died.When the old King had been carried to his grave, Faithful John told the young King all that he had promised his father on his deathbed, and said, "This will I assuredly perform, and will be faithful to thee as I have been faithful to him, even if it should cost me my life." When the mourning was over, Faithful John said to him, "It is now time that thou shouldst see thine inheritance. I will show thee thy father's palace." Then he took him about everywhere, up and down, and let him see all the riches, and the magnificent apartments, only there was one room which he did not open, that in which hung the dangerous picture. The picture was, however, so placed that when the door was opened you looked straight on it, and it was so admirably painted that it seemed to breathe and live, and there was nothing more charming or more beautiful in the whole world. The young King, however, plainly remarked that Faithful John always walked past this one door, and said, "Why dost thou never open this one for me?" "There is something within it," he replied, "which wouldterrify thee." But the King answered, "I have seen all the palace, and I will know what is in this room also," and he went and tried to break open the door by force. Then Faithful John held him back and said, "I promised thy father before his death that thou shouldst not see that which is in this chamber, it might bring the greatest misfortune on thee and on me." "Ah, no," replied the young King, "if I do not go in, itwill be my certain destruction. I should haveThen Faithful John saw that there was no help for it now, and with a heavy heart and many sighs, sought out the key from the great bunch.When he had opened the door, he went in first, and thought by standing before him he could hide the portrait so that the King should not see it in front of him, but what availed that? The King stood on tip-toe and saw it over his shoulder. And when he saw the portrait of the maiden, which was so magnificent and shone with gold and precious stones, hefell faintingto the ground. Faithful John took him up, carried him to his bed,and sorrowfully thought, "The misfortune has befallen us, Lord God, what will be the end of it?" Then he strengthened him with wine, until he came to himself again. The first words the King said were, "Ah, the beautiful portrait! whose it it?" "That is the princess of the Golden Dwelling," answered Faithful John. Then the King continued, "My love for her is so great, that if all the leaves on all the trees were tongues, they could not declare it. I will give my life to win her. Thou art my most Faithful John, thou must help me."The faithful servant considered within himself for a long time howto set about the matter, for it was difficult even to obtain a sight of the King's daughter. At length he thought of a way, and said to the King, "Everything which she has about her is of gold -- tables, chairs, dishes, glasses, bowls, and household furniture. Among thy treasures are five tons of gold; let one of the goldsmiths of the Kingdom work these upinto all manner of vessels and utensils, into all kinds of birds, wild beasts and strange animals, such as may please her, and we will go there with them and try our luck."The King ordered all the goldsmiths to be brought to him, and they had to work night and day until at last the most splendid things were prepared. When everything was stowed on board a ship, Faithful John put on the dress of a merchant, and the King was forced to do the same in order to make himself quite unrecognizable. Then they sailed across the sea, and sailed on until they came to the town wherein dwelt the princess of the Golden Dwelling.Faithful John bade the King stay behind on the ship, and wait for him. "Perhaps I shall bring the princess with me," said he, "therefore see that everything is in order; have the golden vessels set out and the whole ship decorated." Then he gathered together in his apron all kinds of gold things, went on shore and walked straight to the royal palace. When he entered the courtyard of the palace, a beautiful girl was standing there by the well with two golden buckets in her hand, drawing water with them. And when she was just turning round to carry away the sparkling water she saw the stranger, and asked who he was. So he answered, "I am a merchant," and opened his apron, and let her look in. Theng-maid. When the King's daughter saw the wares, she was quite delighted and said, "They are so beautifully worked, that I will buy them all of thee." But Faithful John said, "I am only the servant of a rich merchant. The things I have here are not to be compared with those my master has in his ship. They are the most beautiful and valuable things that have ever been made in gold." She wanted to have everything brought to her there, but he said, "There are so many of them that itwould take a great many days to do that, and so many rooms would be required to exhibit them, that your house is not big enough." Then her curiosity and longing were still more excited, until at last she said, "Conduct me to the ship, I will go there myself, and behold the treasures of thine master."On this Faithful John was quite delighted, and led her to the ship, and when the King saw her, he perceived that her beauty was even greater than the picture had represented it to be, and thought no other thanthat his heart would burst in twain. Then she got into the ship, and the King led her within. Faithful John, however, remained behind with the pilot, and ordered the ship to be pushed off, saying, "Set all sail,till it fly like a bird in air." Within, however, the King showed her the golden vessels, every one of them, also the wild beasts and strange animals. Many hours went by whilst she was seeing everything, and in her delight she did not observe that the ship was sailing away. After she had looked at the last, she thanked the merchant and wanted to go home, but when she came to the side of the ship, she saw that it was on the deep sea far from land, and hurrying onwards with all sail set. "Ah," cried she in her alarm, "I am betrayed! I am carried away and havefallen into the power of a merchant -- I would die rather!" The King, however, seized her hand, and said, "I am not a merchant. I am a king, and of no meaner origin than thou art, and if I have carried thee away with subtlety, that has come to pass because of my exceeding great love for thee. The first time that I looked on thy portrait, I fell faintingto the ground." When the princess of the Golden Dwelling heard that, she was comforted, and her heart was inclined unto him, so that shewillingly consented to be his wife.It so happened, however, while they were sailing onwards over the deep sea, that Faithful John, who was sitting on the fore part of the vessel, making music, saw three ravens in the air, which came flying towards them. On this he stopped playing and listened to what they were saying to each other, for that he well understood. One cried, "Oh, there he is carrying home t"Oh, yes, if any one else gets on it swiftly, and takes out thepistol which must be in its holster, and shoots the horse dead with it, the young King is saved. But who knows that? And whosoever does know it, and tells it to him, will be turned to stone from the toe to the knee." Then said the second, "I know more than that; even if the horse be killed, the young King will still not keep his bride. When they go into the castle together, a wrought bridal garment will be lying there in a dish, and looking as if it were woven of gold and silver; it is, however, nothing but sulphur and pitch, and if he put it on, it will burn him to the very bone and marrow." Said the third, "Is there no escape at all?""Oh, yes," replied the second, "if any one with gloves on seizes the garment and throws it into the fire and burns it, the young King will be saved. "But what avails that?" Whosoever knows it and tells it to him, half his body will become stone from the knee to the heart."Then said the third, "I know still more; even if the bridal garmentbe burnt, the young King will still not have his bride. After the wedding, when the dancing begins and the young queen is dancing, shewill suddenly turn pale and fall down as if dead, and if some one does not lift her up and draw three drops of blood from her right breast and spit them out again, she will die. But if any one who knows that were to declare it, he would become stone from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot." When the ravens had spoken of this together, theyflew onwards, and Faithful John had well understood everything, but from that time forth he became quiet and sad, for if he concealed what he had heard from his master, the latter would be unfortunate, and if he discovered it to him, he himself must sacrifice his life. At length, however, he said to himself, "I will save my master, even if it bring destruction on myself."When therefore they came to shore, all happened as had been foretold by the ravens, and a magnificent chestnut horse sprang forward. "Good," said the King, "he shall carry me to my palace," and was about to mountit when Faithful John got before him, jumped quickly on it, drew the pistol out of the holster, and shot the horse. Then the other attendants of the King, who after all were not very fond of Faithful John, cried, "How shameful to kill the beautiful animal, that was to have carried the King to his palace." But the King said, "Hold your peace ar, and said, "Behold, now he is even burning the King's bridal garment!" But theyoung King said, "Who knows what good he may have done, leave him alone, he is my most faithful John."And now the wedding was solemnized: the dance began, and the bride also took part in it; then Faithful John was watchful and looked into her face, and suddenly she turned pale and fell to the ground, as if she were dead. On this he ran hastily to her, lifted her up and bore herinto a chamber -- then he laid her down, and knelt and sucked the three drops of blood from her right breast, and spat them out. Immediately she breathed again and recovered herself, but the young King had seen this, and being ignorant why Faithful John had done it, was angry and cried, "Throw him into a dungeon." Next morning Faithful John was condemned, and led to the gallows, and when he stood on high, and was about to be executed, he said, "Every one who has to die is permitted before his end to make one last speech; may I too claim the right?" "Yes," answered the King, "it shall be granted unto thee." Then said Faithful John, "I am unjustly condemned, and have always been true to thee," and he related how he had hearkened to the conversation of the ravens when on the sea, and how he had been obliged to do all these things in order to save his master. Then cried the King, "Oh, my most Faithful John. Pardon, pardon -- bring him down." But as Faithful John spoke the last word he had fallen down lifeless and become a stone.Thereupon the King and the Queen suffered great anguish, and theKing said, "Ah, how ill I have requited great fidelity!" and ordered the stone figure to be taken up and placed in his bedroom beside his bed.And as often as he looked on it he wept and said, "Ah, if I could bring thee to life again, my most faithful John." Some time passed and the Queen bore twins, two sons who grew fast and were her delight. Once when the Queen was at church and the two children were sitting playing beside their father, the latter full of grief again looked at the stone figure, sighed and said, "Ah, if I could but bring thee to life again, my most faithful John." Then the stone began to speak and said, "Thou canstbring me to life again if thou wilt use for that purpose what is dearest to thee." Then cried the King, "I will give everything I have in the world for thee." The stone continued, "If thou wilt will cutoff the heads of thy two children with thine own hand, and sprinkle me with their blood, I shall be restored to lThe King was terrified when he heard that he himself must kill his dearest children, but he thought of faithful John's great fidelity, and how he had died for him, drew his sword, and with his own hand cut off the children's heads. And when he had smeared the stone with their blood, life returned to it, and Faithful John stood once more safe and healthy before him. He said to the King, "Thy truth shall not go unrewarded,"and took the heads of the children, put them on again, and rubbed the wounds with their blood, on which they became whole again immediately, and jumped about, and went on playing as if nothing had happened. Then the King was full of joy, and when he saw the Queen coming he hidFaithful John and the two children in a great cupboard. When she entered, he said to her, "Hast thou been praying in the church?" "Yes," answeredshe, "but I have constantly been thinking of Faithful John and what misfortune has befallen him through us." Then said he, "Dear wife, we can give him his life again, but it will cost us our two little sons, whom we must sacrifice." The Queen turned pale, and her heart was full of terror, but she said, "We owe it to him, for his great fidelity." Then the King was rejoiced that she thought as he had thought, and went and opened the cupboard, and brought forth Faithful John and the children, and said, "God be praised, he is delivered, and we have our little sons again also," and told her how everything had occurred. Then they dwelt together in much happiness until their death.。

部分格林童话中英文对照

The Elves and the ShoemakerThere was once a shoemaker, who, through no fault of his own, became so poor that at last he had nothing left but just enough leather to make one pair of shoes. He cut out the shoes at night, so as to set to work upon them next morning; and as he had a good conscience, he laid himself quietly down in his bed, committed himself to heaven, and fell asleep. In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was going to get to work, he found the pair of shoes made and finished, and standing on his table. He was very much astonished, and could not tell what to think, and he took the shoes in his hand to examine them more nearly; and they were so well made that every stitch was in its right place, just as if they had come from the hand of a master-workman.Soon after, a purchaser entered, and as the shoes fitted him very well, he gave more than the usual price for them, so that the shoemaker had enough money to buy leather for two more pairs of shoes.He cut them at night, and intended to set to work the next morning with fresh spirit; when he got up they were alreadyfinished, and a customer even was not lacking, who gave him so much money that he was able to buy leather enough for four new pairs. Early next morning he found the four pairs also finished, and so it always happened; whatever he cut out in the evening was worked up by the morning, so that he was soon in the way of making a gook living, and in the end became very well to do.One night, not long before Christmas, when the shoemaker had finished cutting out, and before he went to bed, he said to his wife,“How would it be if we were to sit up tonight and see who it is that does us this service?”His wife agreed, and set a light to burn. Then they both hid in a corner of the room, behind some coats that were hanging up, and then they began to watch. As soon as it was midnight they saw come in two neatly-formed naked little men, who seated themselves before the shoemaker's table, and took up the work that was already prepared, and began to stitch, to pierce, and to hammer so cleverly and quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker's eyes could scarcely follow them, so full ofwonder was he. And they never left off until everything was finished and was standing ready on the table, and then they jumped up and ran off.The next morning the shoemaker's wife said to her husband, “Those little men have made us rich, and we ought to show ourselves grateful. With all their running about, and having nothing to cover them, they must be cold. I'll tell you what: I will make little shirts, coats, waistcoats, and breeches for them, and knit each of them a pair of stockings, and you shall make each of them a pair of shoes. ”The husband consented willingly, and at night, when everything was finished, they laid the gifts together on the table, instead of the cut-out work, and placed themselves so that they could observe how the little men would behave. When midnight came, they rushed in, ready to set work, but when they found, instead of the pieces of prepared leather, the neat little garments put ready forthem, they stood a moment in surprise, and then they testified the greatest delight. With the greatest swiftness they took up the pretty garments and slipped them on, singing,“What spruce and dandy boys are we!No longer cobblers we will be. ”Then they hopped and danced about, jumping over the chairs and tables, and at last danced out at the door.From that time they were never seen again; but it always went well with the shoemaker as long as he lived, and whatever he took in hand prospered.as if…好像；尤如asleep [+'sli:p] adj. 熟睡的astonish [+'st&niM] vt. 吃惊be astonished惊愕but [(弱)b+t,(强)b)t]prep. 但是commit [k+'mit] vt. 承诺；委托commit oneself to 承诺(某事)conscience ['k&nM+ns]n. 良心elf [elf]n. 小精灵enough [i'n)f]adj. 足够的enter ['ent+]vi. 进入examine [ig'z$min] vi. 检查；察看fall [f&:l] vi.

But they were as pious, good, industrious, and amiable children as any that were in the world, only Snow-White was more quiet and gentle than Rose-Red. For Rose-Red would run and jump about the meadows, seeking flowers and catching butterflies, while Snow-White sat at home helping her mother to keep house, or reading to her if there were nothing else to do. The two children loved one another dearly, and always walked hand in hand when they went out together; and when they talked of it they agreed that they would never separate from each other, and that whatever one had the other should share. Often they ran deep into the forest and gathered wild berries; but no beast ever harmed them. For the hare would eat cauliflowers out of their hands, the fawn would graze at their side, the goats would frisk about them in play, and the birds remained perched on the boughs singing as if nobody were near. No accident ever befell them; and if they stayed late in the forest, and night came upon them, they used to lie down on the moss and sleep till morning; and because their mother knew they would do so, she felt no concern about them. One time when they had thus passed the night in the forest, and the dawn of morning awoke them, they saw a beautiful child dressed in shining white sitting near their couch. She got upand looked at them kindly, but without saying anything went into the forest. The children saw they had slept close to the edge of a pit, into which they would have certainly fallen had they walked farther in the dark. Their mother told them the figure was doubtless the good angel who watches over children.Snow-White and Rose-Red kept their mother's cottage so clean that it was a pleasure to enter it. Every morning in the summer-time Rose-Red would first put the house in order, and then gather a nose gay for her mother, in which she always placed a bud from each rose tree. Every winter's morning Snow-White would light the fire and put the kettle on to boil, and although the kettle was made of copper it yet shone like gold, because it was scoured so well. In the evening, when the flakes of snow were falling, the mother would say;“Go, Snow White, and bolt the door”;and then they used to sit down on the hearth, and the mother would put on her spectacles and read out of a great book while her children sat spinning. By their side, too, lay a little lamb, and on a perch behind them a little white dove reposed with her head under her wing.One evening, when they were thus sitting comfortablytogether, there came a knock at the door as if somebody wished to come in.“Make haste, Rose-Red,” cried her mother;“make haste and open the door; perhaps there is some traveler outside who needs shelter.”So Rose-Red went and drew the bolt and opened the door, expecting to see some poor man outside, but instead, a great fat Bear poked his black head in. Rose-Red shrieked out and ran back, the little lamb bleated, the dove fluttered on her perch, and Snow-White hid herself behind her mother's bed. The bear, however, began to speak, and said.“Be not afraid, I will do you no harm; but I am half frozen, and wish to come in and warm myself.”“Poor Bear!”cried the mother.“Come in and lie down before the fire; but take care you do not burn your skin”; and then she continued:“Come here, Rose-Red and Snow-White, the Bear will not harm you, he means honorably.” So they both came back, and by degrees the lamb, too, and thedove overcame their fears and welcomed the rough visitor.“You children,”said the Bear, before he entered, “come and knock the snow off my coat.” And they fetched their brooms and swept him clean. Then he stretched himself before the fireand grumbled out his satisfaction; and in a little while the children became familiar enough to play tricks with the unwildly animal. They pulled his long, shaggy skin, set their feet upon his back and rolled him to and fro, and even ventured to beat him with a hazel stick, laughing when he grumbled. The bear bore all their tricks good-temperedly, and if they hit him too hard he cried out:“Leave me my life, you children,Snow-White and Rose-Red,Or you'll never wed.”When bedtime came and others were gone, the mother said to the Bear:“You may sleep here on the hearth if you like, and you will be safely protected from the cold and bad weather.”As soon as day broke the two children let the Bear out again, and he trotted away over the snow, and ever afterwards he came every evening at a certain hour. He would lie down on the hearth and allow the children to play with him as much asthey liked, till by degrees they became so accustomed to him that the door was left unbolted till their black friend arrived.But as soon as spring returned, and everything out of doors was green gagin, the Bear one morning told Snow-White that he must leave her, and could not return during the whole summer.“Where are you going, then, dear Bear?” asked Snow-White. “ I am obliged to go into the forest and guard my treasures from the evil Dwarfs; for in winter, when ground is hard , they are obliged to keep in their holes, and cannot work through; but now, since the sun has thawed the earth and warmed it, the Dwarfspierce through, and steal all they can find; and what has once passed into their hands, and gets concealed by them in their caves, is not easily brought to light.” Snow-White, however, was very sad at the departure of the Bear, and opened the door so hesitatingly that when he pressed through it he left behind on the latch a piece of his hairy coat; and through the hole which was made in his coat SnowWhite fancied she saw the glittering of gold; but she was not quite certain of it. The Bear, however, ran hastily away, and was soon hidden behind the trees.Some time afterwards the mother sent the children into the wood to gather sticks; and while doing so, they came to a tree which was lying across the path, on the trunk of which something kept bobbing up and down from the grass, and they could not imagine what it was. When they came nearer they saw a Dwarf , with an old wrinkled face and a Snow-White beard a yard long. The end of this beard was fixed on a split of the tree, and the little man kept jumping about like a dog tied by a chain, for he did not know how to free himself. He glared at the maidens with his red fiery eyes, and exclaimed, “Why do you stand there? Are you going to pass without offering me any assistance? ”“What have you done, little man?” asked Rose-Red. “You stupid , gaping goose ! ” exclaimed he. “I wanted to have the tree split, in order to get a little wood for my kitchen, for the little wood which we use is soon burned up with great fagots, not like what you rough, greedy people devour! I had driven the wedge in properly, and everything was going on well, when the smooth wood flew upward, and the tree closed so suddenly together that I could not draw my beautiful beard out, and here it sticks and I cannot get away, There, don't laugh, you milk-faced things! Are you dumbfounded?”The children took all the pains they could to pull the Dwarf's beard out; but without success. “I will run and fetch some help, ”cried Rose-Red at length. “Crack-brained sheepshead that you are!” snarled the Dwarf. “What are you going to call other people for? You are too many now for me; can you think of nothing else?”“Don't be impatient,” replied Snow-White; “I have thought of something ”; and pulling her scissors out of her pocket she cut off the end of the beard. As soon as the Dwarf found himself at liberty, he snatched up his sack, which lay between the roots of the tree, filled with gold, and throwing it over his shoulder marched off , grumbling and groaning and crying:“ Stupid people! to cut off a piece of my beautiful beard. Plague take you ! ” and away he went without once looking at the children.Some time afterwards Snow-White and Rose-Red went fishing, and as they neared the pond they saw something like a great locust hopping about on the bank, as if going to jump into the water.They ran up and recognized the Dwarf. “What are you after?” asked Rose-Red. “You will fall into the water. ”“ I am not quite such a simpleton as that , ” replied the Dwarf ; “ but do you not see this fish will pull me in?” The little man had been sitting there angling, and unfortunately the wind had entangled his beard with the fishing line; and so a great fish bit at the bait, the strength of the weak little fellow was not able to draw it out, and the fish had the best of struggle. The Dwarf held on by the reeds and rushes which grew near; but to no purpose, for the fish pulled him where it liked, and he must soon have been drawn into the pond. Luckily just then the two maidens arrived , and tried to release the beard of the Dwarf from the fishing line; but both were too closely entangled for it to be done. So the maiden pulled out her scissors again and cut off another piece of the beard. When the Dwarf saw this done he was in a great rage, and exclaimed : “ You donkey ! That is the way to disfigure my face. Was it not enough to cut itonce, but you must now take away the best part of my fine beard? I dare not show myself again now to my own people. I wish you had run the soles off your boots before you had come here ! ” So saying, he took up a bag of pearls which lay among the rushes , and without speaking another word, slipped off and disappeared behind a stone.Not many days after this adventure, it chanced that the mother sent the two maidens to the next town to buy thread, needles and pins, laces and ribbons. Their road passed over a common , on which here and there great pieces of rock were lying about. Just over their heads they saw a great bird flying round and round, and every now and then dropping lower and lower, till at last it flew down behind a rock. Immediately afterwards they heard a piercing shriek, and running up they saw with affright that the eagle had caught their old acquaintance, the Dwarf, and was trying to carry him off. The compassionate children thereupon laid hold of the little man, and held him fast till the bird gave up the struggle and flew off. As soon then as the Dwarf had recovered from his fright, he exclaimed in his sqeaking voice: “Could you not hold me more gently? You have seized my fine brown coat in such a manner that it is ail torn and full of holes, meddling and interfering rubbish that you are!”With these words he shoul -dered a bag filled with precious stones, and slipped away to his cave among the rocks.The maidens were now accustomed to his ingratitude, and so they walked on to the town and transacted their business there. Coming home, theyreturned over the same common, andunawares walked up to a certain clean spot on which the Dwarf had shaken out his bag of precious stones, thinking nobody was near. The sun was shining, and the bright stones gilttered in its beams and displayed such a variety of colors that the two maidens stopped to admire them.“What are you standing there gaping for?”asked the Dwarf, while his face grew as red as copper with rage; he was continuing to abuse the poor maidens, when a loud roaring noise was heard, and presently a great black Bear came rolling out of the forest. The Dwarf jumped up terrified, but he could not gain his retreat before the Bear overtook him. Thereupon, he cried out: “Spare me, my dear Lord Bear ! I will give you all my treasures. See these beautiful precious stones which lie here; only give me my life ; for what have you to fear from a little weak fellow like me? You could not touch me with your big teeth. There are two wicked girls, take them; they would make nice meals, as fat as young quails; eat them for heaven's sake. ”The Bear, however, without troubling himself to speak , gave the bad-hearted Dwarf a single blow with his paw, and henever stirred after.The maidens were then going to run away, but the Bear called after them: “Snow-White and RoseRed , fear not ! Wait a bit and I will accompany you. ” They recognized his voice and stopped; and when the Bear came, his rough coat suddenly fell off, and he stood up a tall man, dressed entirely in gold. “I am a king's son, ”he said , “And I was condemned by the wicked Dwarf , who stole all my treasures, to wander about in this forest, in the form of a bear, till his death released me. Now he has received his well deserved punishment. ”Then they went home, and Snow-White was married to the prince, and Rose-Red to his brother, with whom they shared the immense treasure which the Dwarf had collected. The old mother also lived for many years happily with her two children, and the rose trees which had stood before the cottage were planted now before the palace, and produced every year beautiful red and white rosses.agree [+'gri:]vi.同意alone [+'l+un]adv.单独的amiable ['eimj+bl]adj.和善的as～as像…一样beast [bi:st]n.野兽berry ['beri] n.浆果bloom [blu:m]vi.开花butterfly ['b)t+flai]n.蝴蝶cauliflower ['k&liflau+]n.花椰菜cottage ['k&tidN]n.小屋dearly ['di+li]adv.深深地(爱着)else [els]adv.其它ever ['ev+]adv.永远forest ['f&rist] n.森林gather ['g$J+]vt.收集gentle ['dNentl]adj.温柔的grow [gr+u]vi.(grew [gru:], grown [gr+un])生长hand in hand 手挽着手hare [h#+]n.野兔harm [h%:m]vt.伤害hut [h)t]n.小茅屋industrious [in'd)str+s]adj.勤劳的jump [dN)mp]vi.跳跃keep house做家务like [laik]prep.像…一样meadow ['med+u]n.草原once [w)ns]adv.一次one another相互pious ['pai+s]adj.孝顺的quiet [kwai+t]adj.安静的rose-bush ['r+uzbuM]n.玫瑰Rose-Red ['r+uzred]n.原意：“像玫瑰一样红”文中译为“红玫瑰”文中女主人之名seek [si:k]vt.(sought [s&:t])寻找separate ['sep+reit]vi.分离；分别share [M#+]vi.分享Snow-White ['sn+uhwait]n.文中女主人公之名：白玫瑰talk of谈到；谈论together [t+'geJ+]adv.一起while [hwail]conj.与…同时；而…widow ['wid+u]n.寡妇wild [waild]adj.野生的would [wud]aux.v.(will的过去式. 表示过去的习惯动作. )accident ['$ksid+nt]n.意外；事故angel ['eindN+l]n.安琪儿；天使as if…好像；似乎awake [+'weik]vt.(awoke [+'w+uk],awoke or awaked [+'weikid])(从睡眠中)醒来befall [bi'f&:l]vt.(befell [bi'fel]befallen[bi'f&:l+n])发生bough [bau]n.树枝certainly ['s+:tnli]adv.当然close [kl+uz]adv.靠近concern [k+n's+:n]n.关心；关切cottage ['k&tidN]n.小屋couch [kautM]n.睡眠的地方dawn [d&:n]n.黎明doubtless ['dautlis]adv.毫无疑问地edge [edN]n.边沿enter ['ent+]vt.进入ever ['ev+]adv.永远farther ['f%:J+]adv.更远(far的比较级) fawn [f&:n]n.小鹿；幼鹿figure ['fig+]n.人影；人frisk [frisk]vi.跳跃；嬉戏gather ['g$J+]vt.采集get up 起身goat [g+ut]n.山羊graze [greiz]vt.吃草keep [ki:p]vt.(kept [kept])保持late [leit]adv.迟；晚lie [lai]vi.(lay [lei],lain [lein])躺moss [m&s]n.青苔nosegay ['n+uzgei]n.(芳香的)花束one time一次order ['&:d+]n.整理得井井有条perch [p+:tM]vi.栖息pit [pit]n.坑place [pleis]vt.放置play [plei]n.游戏in play在玩耍pleasure ['pleN+]n.喜悦remain [ri'mein]vi.仍然，依然shining ['MainiR]adj.闪光的；发出光辉的side [said]n.侧面summer-time ['s)m+taim]n.夏季thus [J)s]adv.这样used to [ju:s(t)t+](过去)经常…watch [w&tM]vt.注视；观看without [wiJ'aut]prep.没有would [wud]aux.v.will的过去式although [&:l'J+u]conj.虽然as if…好像；似乎bear [b#+]n.熊behind [bi'haind]prep.在…之后bleat [bli:t]vi.(羊的)叫声boil [b&il]vt.煮沸水bolt [b+ult]vt.闩门bud [b)d]n.花蕾comfortably ['k)mf+t+bli]adj.舒适地copper ['k)p]n.黄铜dove [d)v]n.鸽子draw [dr&:]vt.

格林童话十二个跳舞的公主英文版

格林童话十二个跳舞的公主英文版格林童话十二个跳舞的公主英文版格林童话《十二个跳舞的公主》讲述的是什么样的故事呢?告诉我们什么样的道理?The Shoes That Were Danced to PiecesJacob and Wilhelm GrimmOnce upon a time there was a king who had twelve daughters, each one more beautiful than the others. They slept together in one room, where their beds stood next to each other. At night when they were lying there, the king closed their door and barred it. However, when he opened it the next morning he saw that their shoes had been danced to pieces. No one could determine how it had happened. Then the king proclaimed that whoever could discover where they went dancing each night could chose one of them for his wife and become king after his death. However, anyone who attempted this, but failed to make the discovery after three days and nights, would forfeit his life.有个国王，他有十二个女儿，个个长得如花似玉。

格林童话英文版：TheOwl

格林童话英文版：TheOwlTwo or three hundred years ago, when people were far from being so crafty and cunning as they are now-a-day, an extraordinary event took place in a little town. By some mischance one of the great owls, called horned owls, had come from the neighboring woods into the barn of one of the townsfolk in the night-time, and when day broke did not dare to venture forth again from her retreat, for fear of the other birds, which raised a terrible outcry whenever she appeared. In the morning when the man-servant went into the barn to fetch some straw, he was so mightily alarmed at the sight of the owl sitting there in a corner, that he ran away and announced to his master that a monster, the like of which he had never set eyes on in his life, and which could devour a man without the slightest difficulty, was sitting in the barn, rolling its eyes about in its head. "I know you already," said the master, "you have courage enough to chase a blackbird about the fields, but when you see a dead hen lying, you have to get a stick before you go near it. I must go and see for myself what kind of a monster it is," added the master, and went quite boldly into the granary and looked round him. When, however, he saw the strange grim creature with his own eyes, he was no less terrified than the servant had been. With two bounds he sprang out, ran to his neighbours, and begged them imploringly to lend him assistance against an unknown and dangerous beast, or else the whole town might be in danger if it were to break loose out of the barn, where it was shut up. A great noise and clamour arose in all the streets, the townsmen came armed with spears, hay-forks, scythes, and axes, as if they were going out against an enemy;finally, the senators appeared with the burgomaster at their head. When they had drawn up in the market- place, they marched to the barn, and surrounded it on all sides. Thereupon one of the most courageous of them stepped forth and entered with his spear lowered, but came running out immediately afterwards with a shriek and as pale as death, and could not utter a single word. Yet two others ventured in, but they fared no better. At last one stepped forth; a great strong man who was famous for his warlike deeds, and said, "You will not drive away the monster by merely looking at him; we must be in earnest here, but I see that you have all tuned into women, and not one of you dares to encounter the animal."He ordered them to give him some armour, had a sword and spear brought, and armed himself. All praised his courage, though many feared for his life. The two barn-doors were opened, and they saw the owl, which in the meantime had perched herself on the middle of a great cross-beam. He had a ladder brought, and when he raised it, and made ready to climb up, they all cried out to him that he was to bear himself bravely, and commended him to St. George, who slew the dragon. When he had just got to the top, and the owl perceived that he had designs on her, and was also bewildered by the crowd and the shouting, and knew not how to escape, she rolled her eyes, ruffled her feathers, flapped her wings, snapped her beak, and cried, "Tuwhit, tuwhoo," in a harsh voice. "Strike home! strike home!" screamed the crowd outside to the valiant hero. "Any one who was standing where I am standing," answered he, "would not cry, strike home!" He certainly did plant his foot one rung higher on the ladder, but then he began to tremble, and half-fainting, went back again.And now there was no one left who dared to put himself insuch danger. "The monster," said they, "has poisoned and mortally wounded the very strongest man among us, by snapping at him and just breathing on him! Are we, too, to risk our lives?" They took counsel as to what they ought to do to prevent the whole town being destroyed. For a long time everything seemed to be of no use, but at length the burgomaster found an expedient. "My opinion," said he, "is that we ought, out of the common purse, to pay for this barn, and whatsoever corn, straw, or hay it contains, and thus indemnify the owner, and then burn down the whole building, and the terrible beast with it. Thus no one will have to endanger his life. This is no time for thinking of expense, and niggardliness would be ill applied." All agreed with him. So they set fire to the barn at all four corners, and with it the owl was miserably burnt. Let any one who will not believe it, go thither and inquire for himself.。

格林童话英文版：小精灵TheElves

格林童话英文版：小精灵TheElvesA shoemaker, through no fault of his own, had become so poor that he had only leather enough for a single pair of shoes. He cut them out one evening, then went to bed, intending to finish them the next morning. Having a clear conscience, he went to bed peacefully, commended himself to God, and fell asleep. The next morning, after saying his prayers, he was about to return to his work when he found the shoes on his workbench, completely finished. Amazed, he did not know what to say. He picked up the shoes in order to examine them more closely. They were so well made that not a single stitch was out of place, just as if they were intended as a masterpiece. A customer soon came by, and he liked the shoes so much that he paid more than the usual price for them.The shoemaker now had enough money to buy leather for two pairs of shoes. That evening he cut them out, intending to continue his work the next morning with good cheer. But he did not need to do so, because when he got up they were already finished. Customers soon bought them, paying him enough that he now could buy leather for four pairs of shoes. Early the next morning he found the four pairs finished. And so it continued; whatever he cut out in the evening was always finished the following morning. He now had a respectable income and with time became a wealthy man.One evening shortly before Christmas, just before going to bed, and having already cut out a number of shoes, he said to his wife, "Why don't we stay up tonight and see who is giving us this helping hand."His wife agreed to this and lit a candle. Then they hidthemselves behind some clothes that were hanging in a corner of the room. At midnight two cute little naked men appeared. Sitting down at the workbench, they picked up the cut-out pieces and worked so unbelievable quickly and nimbly that the amazed shoemaker could not take his eyes from them. They did not stop until they had finished everything. They placed the completed shoes on the workbench, then quickly ran away.The next morning the wife said, "The little men have made us wealthy. We must show them our thanks. They are running around with nothing on, freezing. Do you know what? I want to sew some shirts, jackets, undershirts, and trousers for them, and knit a pair of stockings for each of them, and you should make a pair of shoes for each of them."The husband said, "I agree," and that evening, when everything was finished, they set the presents out instead of the unfinished work. Then they hid themselves in order to see what the little men would do. At midnight they came skipping up, intending to start work immediately. When they saw the little clothes instead of the cut-out leather, they at first seemed puzzled, but then delighted. They quickly put them on, then stroking the beautiful clothes on their bodies they sang: Sind wir nicht Knaben glatt und fein? Was sollen wir l?nger Schuster sein! Are we not boys, neat and fine? No longer cobblers shall we be!Then they hopped and danced about, jumping over chairs and benches. Finally they danced out of the house. They never returned, but the shoemaker prospered, succeeding in everything that he did.Second TaleOnce upon a time there was a poor servant girl who wasdiligent and neat. Every day she swept out the house and shook the sweepings onto a large pile outside the door. One morning just as she was beginning her work she found a letter on the pile of sweepings. She could not read, so she stood her broom in the corner and took the letter to her employers. It was an invitation from the elves, asking the girl to serve as godmother at the baptism of one of their children.。

格林童话故事英文版：The Sole
The fishes had for a long time been discontented because no order prevailed in their kingdom. None of them turned aside for the others, but all swam to the right or the left as they fancied, or darted between those who wanted to stay together, or got into their way; and a strong one gave a weak one a blow with its tail, which drove it away, or else swallowed it up without more ado. "How delightful it would be," said they, "if we had a king who enforced law and justice among us!" and they met together to choose for their ruler, the one who could cleave through the water most quickly, and give help to the weak ones.
They placed themselves in rank and file by the shore, and the pike gave the signal with his tail, on which they all started. Like an arrow, the pike darted away, and with him the herring, the gudgeon, the perch, the carp, and all the rest of them. Even the sole swam with them, and hoped to reach the winning-place. All at once, the cry was heard, "The herring is first!" "Who is first?" screamed angrily the flat envious sole, who had been left far behind, "who is first?" "The herring! The herring," was the answer. "The naked herring?" cried the jealous creature, "the naked herring?" Since that time the sole's mouth has been at one side for a punishment.。
