Short fairy tales are urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

Once upon a time, there was a tailor whose son was as short as his thumb, so people called him "Thumb Brother". Although his thumb is small, he is brave. One day, he said to his father, "Dad, I'm going to travel around the world." Well, my boy, "said the old tailor, taking out a long knitting needle and making a round handle out of wax," take this sword and use it later. The little tailor was going to have another meal with his family before he left, so he skipped to the kitchen to see what his mother had done for this last meal. "Mom, what's for dinner today?" "See for yourself." Mom said. The food is ready and put on the stove. So he jumped on the stove and looked into the plate. But he stretched his neck too long, and the hot air in the plate suddenly took him into the chimney, hovering in the air for a while, and then fell to the ground. As soon as the little tailor saw him outside, he began to wander around. He came to a host family, but the food there was not very good.

"Mistress, if you don't improve your food," said the thumb, "I won't live here. Tomorrow morning I will write on your door:" Too many potatoes and too little meat. Goodbye, Mr. Potato! "Grasshopper, what do you want to eat?" The hostess said angrily, grabbing a rag and hitting him. But the little tailor quickly hid under the thimble, poked his head out and stuck out his tongue to the hostess. The hostess grabbed the thimble to catch her thumb, but he jumped into Bree again. When the hostess shook off the tablecloth and came to him, he got into the crack in the table again. "Hey, mistress! "He shouted. When the hostess slapped him, he shrank in the drawer. Of course, the woman finally caught him and kicked him out.

The little tailor continued his journey. He came to a big forest and met a group of robbers who were planning how to steal the king's treasure. As soon as they saw the little tailor, they thought, "Such a small man can enter the treasure house through the keyhole, so we don't have to pry the door." So, one of them shouted at him: "Hey! Brave Goliath, dare to go to the treasure house with us? You can sneak in and throw us the money. The thumb thought for a moment and said, ok. " Follow them to Hozoin. He checked the door from top to bottom to see if there were any cracks. Soon, he found a crack big enough for him to go in. But just as he was about to climb in, two guards at the door saw him, and one of them said, "How ugly that spider climbed there!" I want to kill it. " "Let it go," said another. "It won't interfere with your business. In this way, the thumb safely climbed into the treasure house and opened a window. The robbers were waiting for him below, and he threw bags of gold out of the window. When he was working hard, he heard that the king had come to inspect the treasure house, so he quickly hid. The king found several bags of gold missing, but he didn't understand how they were lost, because the locks and pins on the door didn't seem to have been moved, and the security measures were quite strict. When he left, he said to the doorman, "Be careful, someone is eyeing the money here. So, when Thumb began to work again, the doorman heard the sound of money being moved and the sound of gold "jingling", so he immediately ran in to catch the thief. But the little tailor heard the guards running and jumped into a corner long before they arrived, blocking himself with a bag of gold. The guard didn't see a figure, only heard someone laughing and saying, "I'm coming!" " When the guards followed the sound, the little tailor had run under another bag of gold and shouted at them, "Oh, here I am! In this way, the thumb played a trick on the guard, exhausted, and finally had to leave. Then he threw all the gold out of the window. He spat out the last bag with all his strength, then quickly jumped on it and bounced it out. The robbers admire him very much. " You are a brave hero. 」

They said, "Would you like to be our captain? 」

Thumb declined, saying that he wanted to travel around the world first. When they shared the spoils, the little tailor only asked for a gold coin, because he couldn't take it anymore.

He put away his sword, said goodbye to the robber and continued on his way. At first, he was apprenticed to the master, but he didn't like it. Finally, he became a waiter in a hotel. The maids couldn't stand it because he told their boss what they had stolen from the plate and the cellar, but they couldn't see him. They said, "You wait and see, and we will settle this account with you!" " And play a trick on him. One day not long after, a maid was mowing the grass in the garden. When she saw her thumb jumping on the grass, she quickly cut it off, rolled it into the haystack, tied it with a cloth and quietly fed it to the cows. There is a big black cow in the herd, and it doesn't hurt to swallow your thumb in one gulp. The cow's belly is dark and there is no light. The thumb is not used to it, and he cries when someone squeezes him.

"squeeze! Squeeze hard When will the milk bucket overflow? 」

But the milking was so loud that no one could understand what he was saying. The master came over and said, "Kill that cow tomorrow. The thumb was so anxious that he shouted in his stomach, "Let me go out first! I'm in its belly! "The host heard it clearly, but he didn't know where the voice came from." Where are you? "The master asked in the dark. "But the master didn't understand and went away.

The next day, the black cow was killed. Fortunately, the thumb was thrown into the sausage pile and was not cut by a knife. When the butcher came to treat the meat, the thumb began to shout again: "Don't cut too hard! I am in the meat pile! " But the sound of the knife drowned out his cry and no one paid attention to him. Now he is in trouble. However, trouble inspired people's wisdom, and he jumped up and down between the ups and downs of the knife without being hurt at all. But he couldn't escape for the time being, so he had to stuff it into the black sausage with those diced bacon. He was faked to death in it and hung in the chimney to smoke. What a sad life!

One day in winter, the host wanted to entertain guests with black sausages, so he took them out of the chimney. When the hostess cuts sausages, her thumb sticks out carefully for fear of being cut off. He finally found an opportunity, cleared a path for himself and escaped.

The little tailor has suffered a lot in this family, and he doesn't want to stay any longer, so he set out on his way at once. However, he was free for a long time. When he came to the wild, a fox caught him and stuffed him into his mouth without thinking. "Hey, Mr. Fox," cried the little tailor, "I'm stuck in your throat. Let me out. " Yes, you can't even fill my teeth. But if you promise to give me the poultry in your father's yard, I will let you go. ""very much. " Thumb brother replied. So the fox let him go and took him home. Father and son reunited and willingly gave all the chickens and ducks raised at home to the fox. "I brought you back a dollar as compensation. Thumb said that he gave his father the gold coins he earned during the trip.

"But why did you let the fox eat those poor chickens?" "Oh, you silly child! Of course your father loves you more than those chickens and ducks in the yard! 」

The girl and the lion

Once upon a time, a businessman was going out for a short trip. He has three daughters. Before going out, he asked his daughters what gifts they wanted to take back. The eldest daughter said that she wanted pearls and the second daughter wanted precious stones, but the youngest daughter said, "dear dad, bring me a rose." It was a cold season in winter, so it was impossible to buy roses. Dad knew that the most beautiful daughter had a soft spot for flowers, so he promised her to make every effort to bring her a rose. After kissing his three daughters, his father said goodbye to them and set off.

When the businessman got home, he bought pearls and precious stones for his two eldest daughters, but it was in vain to find roses for his youngest daughter wherever he went. When he went to gardens all over the world to look for roses, people laughed at him and asked him if he thought roses grew and bloomed in winter. He felt sorry for being ridiculed, but he didn't care about his cutest little daughter and was still thinking about what to bring her when he went back. Finally, he came to a beautiful castle surrounded by gardens. Strangely, half of the garden seems to be spring season, while the other half is a scene of severe winter; On the one hand, the most beautiful flowers in the garden are in full bloom, on the other hand, the flowers and plants are barren and covered with snow. The merchant couldn't help saying to his servant, "Ah! What a coincidence! " Say that finish, let the servant go to the rose garden to pick him a rose. They were very happy when they received roses. Just as they were about to leave, a fierce lion jumped out and roared, "whoever dares to steal my rose, I will eat it." The businessman was frightened. He said trembling, "I don't know if this garden is yours. Is there any way to save my life? " The lion said, "No! Nothing can save you unless you promise to give me the first thing you see when you get home. If you agree to this condition, I won't eat you and even send roses to your daughter. But the businessman refused to agree to this condition. He said, "My little daughter loves me the most. Every time I go home, she always runs out to meet me first. The first person to see me when I come home may be my little daughter. At this time, his servant was frightened. He said, "Maybe I met a cat or a dog first. Finally, the businessman had to take a chance and agreed with a heavy heart. He took the rose and promised the lion to bring back the first thing he met when he went back.

Just when the businessman came home, his youngest and cutest daughter saw him for the first time, got off the horse, flew out of the house, greeted him with a kiss and welcomed him back. She was even happier when she saw the roses he brought back. But her father began to feel sad and sighed and said, "Oh, my God! My dearest child! I paid a high price for this flower, and I have promised to give you to a fierce lion to buy it. When it catches you, it will surely tear you to pieces and eat you. " Say that finish, told her what happened, also said to let her not to go, the final result will be to resign.

But after listening to this, the daughter comforted him and said, "Dear Dad, you must keep your promise. I'm going to the lion and try to tame it. Maybe it will let me go home safely. 」

The next morning, she asked the way clearly, said goodbye to her father and boldly walked into the forest. In fact, the lion is an enchanted prince. In broad daylight, he and his ministers were transformed into lions, and at night, they became normal together. When the girl came to the castle, the lion greeted her very politely and proposed to her. The girl agreed to his request. They lived happily together for a long time after the grand wedding reception. Whenever night falls, the prince comes. He called the ministers to see her, but he left the bride at dawn and went alone. She doesn't know where he has gone, but he will come back every night.

One day, the prince said to her, "Your sister is getting married tomorrow, and your father is going to hold a big holiday party at home." If you want to see it, I'll let my lion take you there. It's so happy for her who has always wanted to see her father. The next day, she set off with the lion, and everyone who saw her was very happy. Because they think she has been killed by a lion for a long time, it is not easy to see her back now. She told them that she was living happily now. She stayed at home and didn't return to the forest until the wedding reception was over.

Soon, the second sister is getting married again and invited her to the wedding. She said to the prince, "You must come with me this time. I'm not going alone. But he disagreed, saying it was a very dangerous thing, because as long as a ray of light shone on him, his magic would be even more evil, and he would be turned into a pigeon and forced to fly around the world for seven years. But she refused, saying that she should take good care of him and not let a lamp shine on him. Finally, they set off with their children. When she got home, she chose a hall with a thick wall and let him stay in it. But unfortunately, there was a crack above the hall door, and no one found it.

A grand wedding was held. Just as the wedding procession returned from the church and passed through this hall, a ray of light from the torch held in the procession entered the hall through the gap in the hall door, just shining on the prince. In a flash, the prince disappeared. When his wife came in to look for him, she only found a white pigeon. He said to her, "I want to fly around the world for seven years and often lose a white feather." That's where I want to go. If you follow it, you will catch up with me eventually, thus saving me and setting me free. 」

With that, he flew out of the gate, and she followed the pigeon without hesitation. He can fly! Keep flying! She's chasing! Keep chasing! In the vast world between heaven and earth, she followed the trajectory of his white feathers falling from time to time and bravely marched forward; Her body and mind are one, she is indifferent to everything in the world and never cares; She doesn't rest or sleep. Seven years have finally passed, and her mood began to get excited, thinking that all the hardships and troubles would end with the arrival of seven years. However, the reality shattered their good hopes: one day, she searched on the road, but she couldn't find white feathers anywhere. She looked up at the sky, not to mention the white dove, and didn't even see the shadow of the bird. "God," she sighed, "no one can help me! 」

She went to the sun and said to the sun, "Sun! Your light shines on the earth. You look down on the mountains and canyons. Have you ever seen a white dove? " "no!" The sun really spoke. "I didn't see the white dove, but I gave you a small box to open when you needed help most. After thanking the sun gratefully, she continued to look for the pigeons.

As night falls, the moon rises slowly. Seeing the moonlight shining on the earth, she shouted at the moon: "Moon! Your light shines on Shan Ye all night. Have you ever seen a white dove? " "no! The moon really said, "I can't help you, but I will give you an egg and break it when you need it most." "After thanking the moon sincerely, she continued to look for the trace of the white dove.

When the wind blew on her that night, she said loudly, "Night wind! You walked through the forest, brushed the top of the forest and shook the leaves. Have you ever seen a white dove? " "no!" The night wind really spoke, "but I can ask other winds, they may have seen it." Both the east wind and the west wind came, saying that they didn't see the white dove, but the south wind said, "I saw this white dove, and it flew to the Red Sea. Because seven years have passed, he has become a lion. At the moment, he is fighting with a dragon. The dragon is an enchanted princess. She wants to separate you from him. After hearing the news, the evening breeze said, "I'll tell you a trick." In the Red Sea, there is a row of willow branches on the right bank. You count them in order. When you count to the eleventh branch, break it, and then hit the dragon with willow branches. The lion will win The two of them will also appear in front of you as human beings. Please remember, you should step forward immediately, take your beloved prince and leave for home. 」

So, the poor man set foot on the road of pursuit again and came to the Red Sea. Everything is just as the night breeze said. She pulled out the eleventh willow branch and whipped the dragon hard. In a blink of an eye, the lion became a prince and the dragon became a princess. To her surprise, she forgot the warning given to her by the evening breeze. As a result, the princess seized the opportunity and left with the prince in her arms.

The unfortunate woman from afar was abandoned again, and loneliness and desolation accompanied her. However, she was not discouraged, but she got up the courage and said, "I will continue to pursue him." As long as the wind blows and the rooster crows, I will look for him even if I go to the ends of the earth until I get him back. " "She started the arduous journey again.

After many troubles, she finally came to a castle and the prince was brought here by the princess. It seems that a banquet is being planned here. She asked passers-by, it turned out to be a wedding reception. "ah! God bless me! " She said. Then she took out the little box that the sun gave her and opened it. There is a dazzling dress in it that shines like sunshine. She put on her clothes and went into the palace. All eyes were on her. When the bride saw the skirt she was wearing, she was very envious and asked her if she would like to sell it. She replied, "Gold and silver can't be bought, except with blood and meat. The princess didn't understand her words and asked her what she meant. She said, "Let me talk to the groom in his room tonight, and I'll give you this dress." The princess finally agreed. But she told her servant to give the prince a sleeping pill so that he could neither hear nor see the woman.

In the evening, the prince fell asleep and she was taken to his room. She sat beside him, near his feet, and said, "I have been chasing you for seven years." The sun, the moon and the evening breeze all helped me find you. Finally, I helped you defeat the dragonfly. Have you completely forgotten me? " Unfortunately, the prince was asleep at this time, and her words reached his ears, like the rustling of the wind blowing through the fir trees.

The next morning, she was carried out. In desperation, she had to hand over the shiny dress. Seeing that her efforts were fruitless, she went out of the palace and ran to the grass outside, collapsed and burst into tears. After sitting for a while, she remembered the eggs that the moon gave her, and immediately took them out and broke them. From the egg, a pure golden hen and twelve pure golden chicks ran out at once. As soon as they come out of their shells, they chirp, play around and snuggle under the wings of hens, forming the most beautiful picture in the world. Looking at this group of beautiful and lovely golden chickens, she stood up and reluctantly drove them into the palace. Hearing the seductive cry of the chicken, the bride leaned out of the window and saw the lovely chicken. She ran out excitedly and asked her if she would sell it. "Gold and silver can't be bought, except with blood and meat. The princess wanted to cheat her like yesterday, so she agreed to her request.

But the princess didn't expect that when the prince came into the room at night, he asked the servant why the wind rustled last night. The servant is guilty and must tell the prince everything: how he gave the prince sleeping pills, a poor young woman came to the prince's room to tell him, but he slept soundly and she would come here tonight, and so on. After listening to this, the prince carefully poured out the sleeping pills and slept on the bed. When the young woman arrived, he recognized the voice of his beloved wife and began to tell him about her sadness and misfortune and her loyalty to him. He jumped up and said, "Ah! You woke me up from my nightmare because I was fascinated by this strange princess spell and completely forgot about you. At this happy moment, I want to thank God for sending you back to me. 」

They were afraid of being discovered by the princess, so they sneaked out of the palace at night and rushed home overnight. They finally saw their children again. When the children grow up, they look really elegant, handsome and loved by everyone. The family is finally reunited. They got rid of the evil influence and lived a happy life of normal people, and never separated again.

Twelve dancing princesses

There was a king who had twelve daughters, all as beautiful as flowers and jade. They all slept in one room, with twelve beds side by side. After sleeping at night, the door is locked and locked. For a time, the king woke up every morning and found that their shoes were worn out, as if dancing all night. No one knows what happened and where they went.

So, the king announced to the whole country that if someone could solve the secret and find out where these princesses danced all night, he could marry his favorite princess and inherit the throne. But if the man doesn't find out the result after three days, he will be put to death.

Soon, a prince came from a neighboring country and was warmly received. In the evening, he was taken to a room next to the princesses' bedrooms. In order to hear and see what might happen, he sat down and opened the door, staring at it. But soon the prince fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he saw the princesses dancing all night because there were holes in their soles. Two nights later, the same thing happened, and the prince failed to solve the mystery. The king ordered his head to be cut off. After him, several people tried, but their fate was the same as that of the prince, and they lost their lives without finding out the result.

It happened that an old soldier passed by the king's territory. He was injured in the battle and can't take part in the battle any more. One day, when he was walking through the Woods, he met an old woman who asked him where he was going. The veteran replied, "I don't know where I'm going or what I'm going to do. Then he said wryly, "Maybe I should find out where the princesses are dancing, so that I can be king in the future. Hearing this, the old woman said, "Yes, yes! It's not difficult. Just be careful not to drink the wine the princess gave you and pretend to be asleep when they leave. 」

When she left, she gave him a cloak and said, "As long as you put this cloak on your body, they won't see you. Then, you can follow the princess anywhere. After listening to this advice, the veteran decided to try his luck.

He came to the king and said that he was willing to accept this dangerous task. Like other candidates, he was warmly received and the king ordered him to put on a beautiful royal dress. In the evening, he was taken to the outhouse. When he entered the room and was about to lie down, the king's big princess brought him a glass of wine, but the soldier quietly poured all the wine without drinking a drop. Then he lay in bed and soon began to snore loudly, as if he were asleep. Twelve princesses laughed happily when they heard his snoring. Big princess said, "This guy could have done something smarter. He doesn't have to come here to die. " Say that finish, they all got up and opened drawers and boxes, took out beautiful clothes and dressed up in front of the mirror. At this moment, the youngest princess said, "I don't feel right." You are so excited, but I feel very uneasy. I think we will encounter misfortune. " ""What are you stupid for? " Big princess said, "You are always worried about this and that. Don't you forget that so many princes tried to spy on us, but they all died in vain? Look at this veteran. Even if I don't give him sleeping pills, he will fall asleep. 」

After dressing up, the princesses went to see the soldier again, only to find that he was still snoring and sleeping motionless in the bed. Gal, they thought that no one knew, foolproof. Big princess went to his bed and patted his hand. The bed immediately sank to the floor and a floor door suddenly opened. Seeing big princess leading the way, the soldiers got into the stair-door one by one. Thinking that he could not delay any longer, he jumped up at once, put on the cloak given to him by the old woman and followed them. When he came down the stairs, he accidentally stepped on the little princess's skirt. She shouted to her sisters, "What happened? Who took my clothes?" The archduke said, "Don't be suspicious. You must have caught yourself on a nail on the wall. " After they went down the mountain, they walked into a pleasant grove. The leaves are all silver and shining with beautiful light. The soldier wanted to find evidence that he had been here, so he broke a branch and the branch "click!" " ""China! There was a noise, and the little princess said, "I feel a little abnormal. Do you hear the noise? " This kind of voice has never been heard before. Big princess said, "This voice must be from our prince. Only they will cheer for our arrival. 」

As they talked, they walked into another small forest where the leaves were all made of gold. In addition, in the third forest, all the leaves are made of dazzling diamonds. Every time a soldier goes to a forest, he breaks off a branch as evidence and says "click!" every time. "Hua!" Voice, this kind of voice always scares the little princess, and big princess always says it's the princes cheering.

They walked on, and finally they came to a big lake. There are twelve boats on the lake, and there is a handsome prince on each boat. They seem to have been waiting for the arrival of the princess. When they reached the shore, each princess got into a boat, and the soldiers followed the little princess into the same boat.

When they were boating on the lake, the prince in the boat with the little princess and the soldiers said, "How is that possible?" ! This ship seems to be particularly heavy today. I tried my best to paddle, but the boat didn't move as fast as usual. I am exhausted. "The little princess said," it's just that the weather is a little warm and I feel very hot. 」

On the other side of the lake stands a beautiful palace. The palace is brightly lit, and there is sweet music, bagpipes, horns and horns. After landing, they entered the palace together, and the twelve princes began to dance with the princesses. They have never seen the soldier, who danced with them, and they don't know. Whenever a princess picks up the wine, the soldiers will sneak up and finish it. When the princess put the cup to her mouth, it was empty. Seeing this, the little princess was even more afraid, but big princess kept telling her to be quiet.

The dance lasted until three o'clock in the morning, and the shoes were worn out. At this time, they were reluctant to leave. The princes sent them across the lake in a boat again. This time, the soldiers boarded big princess's boat. At the lake, the princess and the prince said goodbye to each other, and they promised to come back the next night.

When they returned to the stairs, the soldiers immediately ran to them and went to bed and lay down. When the twelve sisters dragged their tired bodies up slowly, they immediately heard the snoring of the soldiers sleeping in the bed. They said, "Now you can rest assured." Say that finish, take off your clothes, take off your shoes, throw them under the bed and lie down to sleep.

When he got up in the morning, the soldiers said nothing about what they saw and heard at night. He wanted to see this adventure several times, so he went again the next night and the third night. The same thing happens every time. Every time the princesses dance, they jump into their shoes and go back to their bedrooms. However, on the third night, the soldier took another gold cup as evidence that he had been there.

On the fourth day, it was time for him to unlock the secret. He came to the king with three branches and a golden cup. At this time, twelve princesses stood behind the door, ears pricked up, want to hear what he said. The king asked, "Where do my twelve daughters dance at night?" The soldier replied, "They danced with twelve princes in an underground palace. Then, he told the king what he had seen and happened, and took out three branches and the golden cup he brought to the king. The king called all the princesses and asked them if what the soldiers said was true. Seeing that everything has been discovered, it's no use denying what happened, so they have to admit it all.

When the secret was solved, the king asked the soldier which princess he wanted to choose as his wife. He replied: "I am not young, you should marry big princess to me!" " ! So they got married on the same day, and the soldier was chosen as the heir to the throne.
