Dad always does the right thing. Andersen's Fairy Tales

Now I'm going to tell you a story I heard when I was a child. Since then, every time I think of this story, I feel better than before. Because the story, like many people, will become more and more beautiful and moving with the growth of age, which is really a good thing!

You must have been to the countryside! You have seen a real farmer with straw on top: moss and weeds grow naturally. There is a stork's nest on the roof. Storks are inseparable from people. The wall is a little inclined and the windows are low. Yes, only one window can be opened. The toaster sticks out like a big belly. The elderberry bush leans against the fence. Under a knotted willow tree in front of the fence, there is a small pool in which one or several ducks swim. Oh, and a watchdog. No matter who or what you see, it will bark for a while.

What I want to talk about is a house in the country where two people live, a farmer and a peasant woman. There are few things in their house, but they can be less. What I want to talk about is a horse, which is looking for grass in a ditch by the road. The old man rode it into town and the neighbors borrowed it. He made some money by working for others. However, if you sell it or exchange it for something more useful to them, you will definitely make more money. But for what?

"Dad, you are the best at this kind of thing!" The wife said, "Now there is a market in the city, so get on the horse, sell the horse and get some money back, or get something back!" " What you do is always right. Ride to the market! "

So she tied an apron for him, because after all, she is better at such things than he is; She tied him in a double knot and looked very handsome. So he wiped his hat with his hand, she kissed his warm lips, and he rode immediately to sell or change it. Yes, dad knows.

The sun is very hot and there is not a cloud in the sky! This road is full of dust. There are many people in the market, some driving, some riding and some walking. There is not even a shady place on the road in the scorching sun.

There is a man driving a cow. This cow is very good, as good as a cow can do. "This cow will give good milk!" The farmer thought, "It doesn't hurt to change it." "Listen, Penny!" He said, "Let's talk! You see, a horse, I think it must be more valuable than a cow, but that's nothing! I need a cow more. Are we going to change? "

"Well, of course!" The man who led the cow said, so they exchanged. After the change, the farmer could have turned back. I thought he had finished what he should have done. But since he thought of going to the market, he went to the market for a walk just to see. So he took his cow to the market. He walks fast, and so does the cow. He passed a man leading a sheep. This sheep is very good, with good fur.

"I wish I had such a sheep!" The farmer thought. "We don't lack the grass it eats on the roadside, and we can bring it into the house in winter. Fundamentally speaking, it is more correct for us to raise a sheep than a cow. Are we going to change? "

Of course, the shepherd is willing. So they made a deal. The farmer took his sheep along the road. On the steps beside the fence, he saw a man holding a goose.

"You goose is very strong!" The farmer said, "Hair is fat and fat! Just tie it up with a rope and keep it in our pond. Let the old woman get some peels and leaves for her to eat! She often says, "If only we had a goose!" This time she has a goose-it's time for her to get it! Do you want to change it? I'll exchange the sheep for your goose, thank you! "

Of course, this person is willing. So they made a deal and the farmer got the goose. He will go to town soon. At this time, there are more and more people on the road, and people and animals are crowded together. Everyone walked along the avenue and squeezed into the ditch until they came to the place where the tax collector piled potatoes on the roadside. The tax collector there tied his hen with a rope to prevent it from running away. It's a bald-tailed chicken with one eye blinking. Very nice. The hen is "cough, cough"; No one knows what the hen is thinking when she calls like this. But when the farmer saw it, he thought: This hen is the most beautiful hen I have ever seen in my life. It is even more beautiful than a chicken hatched by a priest. I really want it! ! Hens can always find some millet to eat. It can take care of itself!

If I get this chicken, the exchange is worth it. "Shall we exchange?" He asked. "Exchange!" Another person said, "this is not a crazy idea!" " "So they made a deal. The tax collector got the goose and the farmer got the hen. On this trip to town, he did a lot of things along the way. It's hot and he's tired. He really needs a glass of wine and some bread. Then he went to the pub and wanted to go in. But the young man in the hotel was about to go out when he met him in front of the shop. He is carrying a bag with something in it.

"What's in the bag?" Asked the farmer.

"rotten apples!" The young man replied, "A bag full of pigs." "This is really enough! I should show it to my old mother. Last year, the old apple tree next to our charcoal shed only produced one apple and put it on the cabinet until it cracked. Anyway, it is a fortune! Our old woman said so. Now she can see a lot of wealth! Yes, I want to show it to her. " "all right! What do you exchange? " The young man asked.

"Take what? I want to trade my hen! " So he changed his hen, took an apple, walked into the house and went to the wine counter. He put a bag of apples on the stove. There was a fire in the stove, but he didn't expect it at all. There are many outsiders in the room. There are horse dealers, cattle dealers and two Englishmen. They are very rich and their pockets are full of gold coins. They made a bet. Here's the thing. Listen!

"oh! Hey! " What's the noise in the stove? The apple is ripe.

"What's in it?" Yes, dad told me everything. So they will know everything soon! About that horse, how to turn it into a cow until this bag of rotten apples.

"Yes! When you get home, the old woman will make you suffer enough! " Two Englishmen said, "You will be beaten!" "

"I'll get a kiss, not a beating!" The farmer said, "My old woman will say: Dad always does the right thing!" " "

"Make a bet!" They said, "A bucket full of gold coins! One hundred pounds for a bucket of gold coins. "

"A full bucket is not a problem!" The farmer said, "I can only get apples, and even I fight with my old woman." But it's not just a flat full fight, but a sharp full fight! "

"bet, don't regret it!" They said. So the bet has been made. The innkeeper's car drove out, the Englishman got on, the farmer got on, and the rotten apples got on. So they came to the farmer's house.

"Good evening, old woman!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

"I have finished changing things!"

"Yes, you are really good at it!" The wife said, hugging his waist, forgetting his pockets and strangers.

"I traded my horse for a cow!"

"Thank God, we have milk!" The wife said, "Now we have milk to eat, and there is butter and cheese on the table." It's delicious. "

"Yes, but I traded a cow for a sheep!"

"This is definitely better!" The wife said, "You are always considerate; We have enough grass to feed a sheep. Now we can drink goat milk, goat cheese, wool socks, yes, wool pajamas! Cows can't take these out! It must shed its hair! You are such a considerate husband! " "But I traded a sheep for a goose!"

"So this year we have roast goose on Martin Day; Dad! You always want to make me happy! This idea of yours is really a good idea! You can tie the goose up and fatten it up on Martin's day! "

"But I replaced the goose with a hen!" The man said.

"The hen has become so good," said the wife. "Hens can lay eggs, and when they hatch, we will have chickens, and we will have chicken farms! This is exactly what I am looking forward to wholeheartedly. " "Yes, but the hen turned me into a bag of rotten apples!"

"I really want to kiss you!" The wife said. "Thank you, my good man! Now let me tell you something. After you leave, I want to cook you a good meal; Egg cake with chopped green onion. I have my own eggs, but there are no onions. So I went to the headmaster of the school. I know they have onions. But his wife is stingy to death, that good woman! I begged her to lend me some! Borrow? She said, "Nothing grows in our garden, not even a rotten apple. I can't even lend you a rotten apple. " Great now, I can lend her ten rotten apples, yes, lend her a bag full! That's funny, dad! "So she kissed him on the mouth.

"I really like this!" Two Englishmen said. "Always going downhill, but always so optimistic! This is very valuable! " So they paid him a bucket of gold coins and bought the farmer who got a kiss instead of a beating.

Yes, my wife can see that my father is the smartest, and what he does is always right, which will definitely pay off.

Look, this is a story! I heard it when I was a kid. Now that you hear it, you know what dad does is always right.
