The weather digs for treasures.

Appreciation of foreign fairy tales "[Germany] Janos Go, let's treasure hunt.

Janos

Little bear fished by the river all day, but he didn't catch any fish. It turned out that the bear wanted to catch a delicious trout for the tiger. Now the bear can only pick some cauliflower and dig some potatoes to cook for the little tiger.

"Do you know what the greatest happiness in the world is?" Tiger said, "The greatest happiness is to have money." You see, if you have money and can't catch trout, you can also buy trout to eat. Well, trout, think about the smell of everything. "

However, delicious trout is not so easy to bite.

"What is our life?" The bear said, "Get a boat tomorrow, a rubber boat."

"But, we have no money. Come on, let's go treasure hunting! " The little tiger said.

The next day, the little tiger went to the forest to pick some mushrooms and sold them in the market. They bought a shovel and two barrels with the money from selling mushrooms. Because you need these things to dig for treasure.

They began to dig for treasure. The first shovel shoveled out the soil, and the second shovel shoveled out the soil. Keep digging. This hole is one meter deep, and then dig it. The hole is seven meters deep, but the box containing gold and money has not been found.

They dug and dug and alarmed the mole who was taking a nap. The mole was awakened. It tapped the sand with a cane and asked:

"Someone is digging underground? Hello, is anyone there? " The mole has lived underground for many years, and his eyes are not good.

"Yes, yes," said the little tiger. "The bear is digging below, and I'm watching from above. Do you know that we are looking for the happiest thing in the world? "

"Ah, so that's it. I know that the happiest thing in the world is below. " The mole said, "The happiest thing is to listen carefully." My hearing is very good. Do you hear the birds singing? How beautifully it sings! "

"Wrong, wrong, what we are looking for is a box containing gold." The little tiger said loudly.

"Oh, yes," said the happy mole, "but it's not down there either. I know the underground world here as well as my trouser pocket. There is no such box underground on this side of the river. "

Bear and tiger believed that the mole was right, so they immediately gave up digging. They rowed to the other side.

They rowed and found a bottle going down the river. The fish knows what's in the bottle. The fish told them that there was a note in the bottle. There is a picture on the note. There are islands in the picture. Pirate treasures are hidden on the island.

"Grab that bottle, quick!" The fish said.

It's too slow. The bottle has already floated by. Alas, the treasure is gone!

"Yes, yes," said the fish. "Good luck always slips away quickly. You idiots, who told you not to pay attention to what I said! "

On the other side of the river, bears and tigers continue to dig for treasures. They take turns, each digging for a while.

The first shovel is dirt, and the second shovel is dirt. When the fifth shovel was dug, the lion in blue pants came.

"Young man, what are you doing there?" The lion asked.

"We are digging for treasure." The little tiger said, "shall we tell you what is the happiest thing in the world?"

"I know, you don't have to tell me," said the lion in blue pants. "It's just strength and courage! How about I yell at you now and show my courage? "

When the lion finished, it let out a roar. His roar was so loud that it produced a powerful shock wave in the air and shook the leaves of the forest for three hours.

"Wrong, wrong," cried the bear. "What we are looking for is something else, a box containing gold and money."

"Oh, yes," said the lion in blue pants. "There is no such box. I am familiar with everything in this forest, and there is definitely nothing you are looking for. "

Bear and tiger listened to the lion and stopped digging.

They packed their treasures and went through the vast forest. They walked for five hours, and as they got farther and farther away from home, they began to feel a little scared.

"Bear, hey, you didn't forget to bring your fishing rod, did you?" Asked the little tiger.

"No, no," said the bear. "I take my fishing rod everywhere."

As long as the fishing rod is by your side, you can't starve them.

After crossing the forest, the bear and the tiger began to dig for treasure again.

The bear dug for a while.

Little tiger dug for a while.

"Luo Luo ..." A crazy little hen greeted them. "What are you doing there, children?"

"We are digging for treasure," said the bear. "change."

The mad hen immediately pointed out to them, "There is no money underground. The money is on the ground. What does the master do to a beautiful hen like me? Money, find it in the street! Hey, what do you think of my hat? It drives you crazy, doesn't it? "

The hen said that, flapped her wings and left.

"Can you find money in the street?" The little tiger said, "Come on, let's go to the streets to find money." We may not have to dig so deep there. "

In the street, they met Marocca, a donkey who was traveling.

"Where are you two little guys going?"

"Let's go treasure hunting." The little tiger said.

"Oh, you're lucky to meet me," said Marocca the donkey, "because I'm looking for treasure, too. I know where the treasure is. It's far away. You can come with me. I'm going to that distant place to look for treasure. "

On the way, the bear's foot was hurt. They really walked too much.

"Can you carry us for a while?" The bear asked Marocca, the donkey, "I heard that all donkeys have to carry children, but we are still children, aren't we, tiger?"

Donkeys are really willing to help them. They were first carried by donkeys, and then crossed the sea by boat together.

As soon as they landed, the donkey picked up the box and went far away to look for his treasure.

"You know, bear," said the tiger, "we can treasure in the sea now. Pirates often treasure their wealth at the bottom of the sea. "

The bear thinks the tiger is right, so he goes fishing. Then they sold fish in the market, and with the money they bought two sets of diving caps and two oxygen cylinders.

However, they didn't find any treasure at the bottom of the sea. No box, no gold, no money.

A fat man was smiling at them when they came out from the bottom of the sea. He pulled his motorboat with a rope.

"Hey, children, are you looking for treasure at the bottom of the sea?"

"Yes," said the bear. "Because of the tiger and me, we need ..."

"Ha ha, don't waste time, children," the fat man said with a smile. "You can't find an empty shell at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years. Because we've looked everywhere, hapless little guy. "

God, the world is so big, the sea is so deep and so cold. Their house by the river is far away from them now. ...

Later, if the kind cranes and birds didn't fly in and take them across the ocean, the bears and tigers might have left us forever.

They didn't find any treasure. Little tiger can't walk more and more.

Little bear walks with little tiger on his back. Bears can't walk. Little tigers walk with bears on their backs. So they continued until dark.

That night, they were all sleepy. They were under a big tree and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

The next morning, when they woke up, they found that they were sleeping under an apple tree, which was covered with big golden apples. They are really lucky.

Many things are often the opposite. When you want to find it, you can't find anything. Now, when they think it is impossible to find the treasure, wealth is in sight.

Little tiger immediately made up two baskets. The bear immediately climbed up the tree and began to pick apples. They filled the basket so full that they could hardly carry it.

"I have an idea," said the bear. "Let's take the apples to the city and change them into money. Money is made of paper and is much lighter. In this way, we will be as rich as when we have apples. "

When they arrived in the city, they went to the bank to change apples into money and took 400 yuan. They will be very lucky from now on.

However, when the king heard that they had made a fortune, he sent his department down to look for them. They said, "You know, the law stipulates that half of your money must be given to the king. So that you can get the protection of the king when necessary. "

The bear and the tiger had to give half the money to the king's people. After he took the money, he ran around the forest quickly and then appeared in front of the bear and the tiger.

"Hello, we seem to know each other." He said kindly, "We all know that you are rich. According to the current law, half of the money should be given to the king. The king protected you from the robber Hawkins Burroughs. "

So the king's men asked them for money three times.

"Now, your share is gone."

"My share?" The bear shouted, "Why my share?" You bad guy! "

First, they scold each other. Scold and scold and start fighting.

"Well, you two idiots," a yellowbird on the grass said to them, "it's a shame that you two best friends started fighting for such a little money. Tomorrow, if the king's men come again, you will have nothing and no friends. You are really the biggest idiots in the world. "

That night, the two of them made up again because they were both afraid of loneliness.

But just as they were sleeping, the robber Hawkins Burroughs came and stole all their remaining money.

"Hey, you hateful robber, don't you know that anyone who has paid the king can be protected by the king?" They shouted angrily.

"The protection of the king? Ha ha, "the robber laughed. "The king still doesn't know where the dream is. Who can he protect? " After that, Hawking Boloz ran into the forest and disappeared.

Now bears and tigers have nothing. They took turns carrying me and me, and finally got home.

They saw the happy mole sleeping on their sofa. It was yesterday that he came in to take shelter from the rain.

"Stay, little mole," said the little tiger. "You don't know, the rice cooked by the bear is delicious."

Bear put salt in the cooked cauliflower and potato, which is really delicious.

"Tomorrow, I will pick mushrooms."

"Tomorrow, I'm going fishing."

The next day, the little tiger didn't pick mushrooms, and the little bear didn't go fishing. Because the weather is so good, they just want to enjoy the warm sunshine.

"Did you hear that? The bird is singing! " The happy mole said, "This is a wonderful song, isn't it?"

So, they listen to the birds sing together. The grass is covered with golden sunshine, bees are buzzing and cauliflower smells delicious.

Oh, what kind of happiness should this be? !

(translated by Pippi)

Trout tastes particularly good. The "happiness problem" and the story of seeking happiness discussed by Janos in the fairy tale "Let's go treasure hunting" are triggered by delicious trout. Xiong and Hu are neither scholars nor philosophers. They have no intention of discussing this important issue in life. Because they have no money to buy trout, they think money is happiness.

Is money happiness?

Bear and tiger are two bit part in fairy tales, and they are two random and active little boys that you and I are very common. You can eat delicious trout when you see money. It seems that there is happiness when you have money. This problem is within the emotional range of Xiong Hu, and it is really realistic. So the two stooges immediately took action to find happiness. Their pursuit of happiness is by no means as complicated as that of philosophers. Happiness is very concrete and practical in Bear and Tiger-finding a box full of gold. Carrying shovels and buckets, they went out to dig for treasures and dug up boxes full of gold buried in the ground. So fairy tales focus on digging up treasures and finding happiness, and present scenes full of lively life interest to us one by one. The work adopts the technique of "changing scenery", and each animal has its own story description. The author took us underground for a while. There are moles underground. Mole's view on happiness is simple: having "good hearing" is happiness; After a while, take us to the forest, where the lion in blue pants thinks that happiness is strength and courage, that is, he can roar freely in the forest; After a while, lead us through the forest, where there is a crazy hen, who thinks that wearing a red crown on her head can stand out from the rest of the world; Then he took us to the seaside ... these are far from the "happiness" in the minds of the two little guys (having money to buy trout). Happiness cannot be searched all over the world endlessly and fruitlessly. Finally, they came to an apple tree. "The trees are covered with golden apples." . They made up two baskets, climbed the apple tree, picked the ripe apples and went to town for 400 yuan. At this time, they seem to have a little happiness in their hearts.

However, the story is not over here, and the happy things are not that simple!

I heard that they made a fortune, the king's men came, and the famous robbers peddled Bolots. The appearance of these two characters made the story sensational again. The king's men cheated them three times, and the robbers stole all their money. In the process, the bear and the tiger also wrestled for money. The work depicts the dark, ugly and evil side of society in the language of fairy tales. Therefore, the story is no longer smooth.

When there is no money, the two partners live alone, but when there is money, they fight and hurt their feelings. This plot gives the story a thought-provoking implication.

Only by writing children's literature in this way can we see the atmosphere of Janos! There is a saying in Zheng Xie's "Painting Theory" in the Qing Dynasty: "The meaning is written first, and the rules are also; Those who are interested in staying outside the law are also becoming machines. " This fairy tale was obviously written on purpose. Before writing, the writer had a "bamboo" in his heart, just to talk to the little doll about the big question "what is happiness", but his mind was first and he had to make changes later. The "transfiguration machine" of fairy tales has turned out the rare profundity of children's literature and written the true interest of life for young readers. The beauty of this fairy tale's "shapeshifter" is that after exposing the cruelty of society, it allows us to see the sunny grassland, hear the singing of birds and the buzzing of bees, smell the fragrance of cauliflower, and make the little bear and tiger feel that they can enjoy the warmth and beauty given by God so comfortably, that is happiness. Therefore, the emergence of robbers and swindlers is of extraordinary significance for strengthening the artistry of the story and deepening the ideological connotation of the story.

For bears and tigers, the process of treasure hunting is a process of seeing the world and improving their viability. The process of treasure hunting is not all sunshine and flowers, this is the original taste of life.

What is happiness? The understanding of happiness varies from person to person and from time to time (Bernard Shaw: "People with toothache think that everyone with perfect teeth is happy." )。 In this fairy tale, Janos did not directly tell the children what happiness is. He hid his understanding of life happiness in his heart, went deep into the bottom of the story and hid it in his creative consciousness. His hope for children is that they can identify with the bears and tigers in his works and smile.
