The magician's hat by Topher Song Yang. She writes children's literature in Swedish. She is famous for 1945' s collection of fairy tales "Little Trolls and Floods", and 1966 won the 6th International Andersen Children's Literature Award. The Magician's Hat, written on 1948, is Yang Sen's most outstanding fairy tale. The author takes Mu Minchong, a dwarf living in the free world, as the protagonist, and has created a series of fairy tales, among which this one is the most famous, and there are also comets coming to Mu Minchong Valley and so on. Preface She was born in Helsinki, Finland on August 9th 19 14. My father is a sculptor and my mother is an art designer. She studied painting in Helsinki, Stockholm, Florence and Paris, and is also a painter, stage designer and illustrator. She started writing at 1945, and now she has become the most widely read Finnish writer in the world. This is because she created the fairy tale characters "Mumin Dwarf Elves" and wrote many fairy tales with them as the main characters. She writes in Swedish and her fairy tales have been translated into Finnish, English, Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and so on. Poland also adapted them into three sets of 39 puppet short films. Like Pinocchio, onion, Mickey Mouse and other fairy tale characters, "Mu Minchong Elf" has been welcomed by children in many countries. There is a well-known mysterious figure named "Troll" in Nordic folklore. He is a demon in the forest. The image of this character has changed in legend, from a fierce giant to a kind dwarf. Song Yang herself said that her "Troll" was the latter, so I simply translated them into "Shorty Genie". The Mumin Dwarf Elf created by Song Yang is no longer a demon, but a human living in the forest. They look like small hippos standing upright, fat and shy. Song Yang said that the legendary dwarf was covered in hair and lived in a secret cave, which only appeared at night, but her woodcutter dwarf had no hair, lived in a house and liked the sunshine. Min's family consists of Min's father, Min's mother and their child Xiaomuzhong. This family is very generous and welcomes anyone who lives in their home, so this family is getting bigger and bigger. Besides Mu Minchong, there are other strange animals-in fact, they are also "people". They have all kinds of adventure stories in this fairy tale world, so they wrote one fairy tale after another. Starting from 1945, the author wrote a simple fairy tale with these fairy tale characters, which opened this fairy tale world, and then wrote one book after another. Gundam 1970, * * * wrote eight books, and used these figures to draw comic books and picture stories at the same time. Later, she turned to adult works: short stories and novels. Trollkarrenshatt, published in 1948, is the second of eight fairy tales and one of the most translated masterpieces abroad. In this fairy tale, Mu Min's short family and other characters who live in his house appear. Readers can see that they are actually human beings, and most of them are children, and many of their adventure stories are also very naughty. When you open this book, readers enter the fairy tale world, that is, the children's world. Throughout the story is a magician's hat found by Xiao Mu residents. No matter what gets into this hat, it will become something that no one else can imagine, which is enough to arouse the interest of young readers-every time something gets into the hat, they are eager to know what will come out of it. However, the whole fairy tale is about the friendship and mutual assistance between these animals-characters, as well as their cheerful personality and adventurous spirit. The characters such as Mu Min and Dwarf Fine are deeply loved by children, which is inseparable from the illustrations drawn by the author himself. She not only created these fairy tale characters, but also created their interesting and lovely images. Maybe young readers have fallen in love with these images before reading the story? So while introducing the story, I also introduced these illustrations. Although I knew the fairy tale of Mu Minchong's gnome monster written by Tu Wei Songyang for a long time, I didn't get the book there until I visited Hong Kong at the invitation of the Hong Kong Children's Literature and Art Association in August 1983 and translated the first draft in the home of Mr. He Zi, the president of the association and a children's literature writer. This is also a souvenir of this trip. Opening remarks Snowflakes fell gently, and after a few hours, everything turned white. Xiao Mu is a short man standing in front of his house, looking at Mumin Valley covered with winter quilts. He thought, "Starting from tonight, we will start a long hibernation." (Mu Minchong's dwarfs all hibernate on 1 1 month. This is also a good way for people who are afraid of cold and don't like long winter nights. Xiao Mu citizen Dwarf carefully closed the door, quietly entered the house, came to his mother and said to his mother, "It's snowing outside!" "I know," said Mumin's mother. "I have made the bed for you, and covered it with the warmest blanket. You and the stream sleep in a small room under the eaves. " "Snoring is like thunder, and the breath is weak, which is terrible," said Xiao Ti Jing, a citizen. "Can you change it and let me sleep with Xiaoxiao?" "Suit yourself, baby," said Mumin's mother. "You can sleep in the room facing east with a cigarette." In this way, Mu Minchong's family, their friends and everyone they know began to solemnly arrange a long winter. Mumin's mother cooks dinner for everyone on the balcony, but they only eat pine needles for dinner. It is very important to fill your stomach with pine needles in order to sleep all winter. ) When they finished this dinner (I don't think it would be delicious), they said goodbye to each other (much more serious than usual), and Mumin's mother told them to brush their teeth. Then Mumin's father walked around the house, closed all the doors and shutters, and hung mosquito nets on the chandelier so that there would be no dust. Then everyone went to bed, covered their ears with blankets, made the bed comfortable, and began to think about some happy things. Little wooden man shorty essence just sighed and said; "I'm afraid we will waste a lot of time." "Don't worry," Sniff replied, "we will have many good dreams. When we wake up, it is already spring. " "Well," the little wooden man dozed off and began to fall asleep in a daze. It's snowing outside, dense and thin. It has climbed all the steps and covered all the roofs and eaves thickly. Mumin's house will soon become a big snowball. One by one, the clocks stopped beating. It's winter. Chapter one. Tell me how five little clouds suddenly appeared; It is said that Hermon is obsessed with a new pattern. One spring morning, it was only four o'clock, and the first cuckoo came to Mumin Temple. It stopped on the blue roof of Mu Minchong's house and cooed eight times-the voice was still a little hoarse, although it was already spring and still a little early. Then it flew to the east. After waking up, citizen Xiao Tijing lay in bed and looked at the ceiling for a long time before he realized where he was. He has slept for a hundred days and nights, and the dream is still tossing in his head, trying to lure him back to sleep. But when he wriggled to find a comfortable place to sleep again, he suddenly saw something that made him sleepy-Xiao Sniff's bed was empty! Xiao Mu citizen dwarf sat up. Yes, Sniff's hat is gone, too. "My God!" He tiptoed to the open window. All right, sniff and climb down the rope ladder. Xiao Mu short climbed over the windowsill and climbed down carefully with his short legs. On the wet ground, he clearly saw the footprints of Xiao Sniff, but he ran around and couldn't keep up. Finally, I suddenly walked a road without footprints. "He must be very happy," concluded Beijing, a short citizen. "He did a somersault here-it's obvious." Xiao Mu citizen Dwarf Essence suddenly raised his nose and pricked up his ears to listen. Xiao Sniff plays the harmonica in the distance and his happiest song: "All small animals should tie bows on their tails". Xiao Mu citizen dwarf essence hurriedly ran to the harmonica sound. When he reached the river, he sniffed and found Xiao. Xiao Sniff is sitting on the bridge, his legs dangling in the water, and his old hat is pulled to his ear. "Hello," Xiao Mu citizen Shorty Jing sat down beside him. "Hello," Sniff said while playing the harmonica. At this time, the sun has already risen, and it shines directly into their eyes, making them squint. They just sit on the running water and shake their feet, feeling very happy and carefree. They have experienced countless dangers on this river and brought many new friends home. The short parents of Xiao Mu residents always welcome their friends quietly and add a bed and a leaf to the dining table. Mu Min's home is very crowded now. In this family, everyone can do what they like and seldom worry about tomorrow. Unexpected troubles often happen, but no one has time to worry about such things. It is always a good thing to be able to do this. Xiao Sniff finished playing his Haruka, stuffed the harmonica into his pocket and said, "Xiao Sniff hasn't woken up yet?" "I don't think I'm awake yet," replied the Xiao Mu citizen shorty. "He always sleeps an extra week than others." "Then we have to wake him up," Sniff jumped up and said. "Today is a good day. We should do something special. " So Xiao Mu residents dwarf essence blew the signal under their small window. Put your hands to your mouth, make a horn and whistle. Blow the short one three times, and then blow the long one. The secret code means: "something is wrong!" They heard the snoring stop, but nothing happened next. "Blow it again," said Sniff. This time they played louder than last time. The window finally snapped open. "I'm sleeping," an angry voice shouted. "Come down, don't lose your temper," Sniff said. "We have to do something very, very special." At this time, I sucked my wrinkled ears and climbed down the rope ladder. Maybe I should make it clear that they have rope ladders in every window, because it takes too long to get down the stairs. You can tell at a glance that it will be fine weather. Small animals just waking up from a long hibernation are everywhere. They are either walking around, looking for old places to revisit, or busy ironing clothes, combing their beards and cleaning up their houses for spring. There are many small animals building new houses, and I'm afraid some of them are already quarreling. I woke up with a bad temper after sleeping for so long. The goblins living in the trees are combing their long hair. To the north of the forest, the vole is digging a tunnel and it is snowing. "How is spring?" An old earthworm said. "How was winter?" "Fine, thanks," replied Xiao Jing, a citizen. "Did you sleep well, old uncle?" "Very well," said the earthworm. "Please give my regards to your parents." They walked on and greeted many people along the way, but the higher the mountain, the fewer people they met. Finally, they only saw one or two female mice. They were sniffing around and cleaning. It is wet everywhere. "Hey, how dirty it is," citizen Xiaoti Jin walked carefully in the melting snow. "For a Woodenhead, such a big snow is really terrible. That's what my mother said. " He sneezed. "Listen, citizens are short and smart," sniffed Xiao. "I have an idea. How about going to the top of the mountain to pile stones to prove that we came first? " "Yes, pile stones," said Xiaoxi, and set off at once to reach the top of the mountain before others. They came to the top of the mountain, and the March wind frolicked around them. The distance under their feet is blue. The sea is in the west and the river is in the east, which surrounds this lonely mountain; In the north, there is a big forest, like a green carpet. In the south, smoke comes from the chimney of Mu Min's house, and Mu Min's mother is making breakfast. But these things are too small to see, because there is a hat on the top of the mountain-a tall black hat. "Someone has been here!" He said. Xiao Mu citizen Dwarf picked up his hat and looked at it. "This hat is rare," he said. "Sniff, maybe you can wear it." "No, no," said Sniff, who liked his old cuckold husband. "It's too new." "Maybe Dad will like it," said shorty, a citizen of Xiao Mu. "Well, let's take it back anyway," said Xiaoxi. "But now I want to go home-I want to eat breakfast. What about you? " "I just want to say this," Xiao sniffed. In this way, they found the magician's hat and took it home. Unexpectedly, it will make the herdsmen's valley go wrong. Soon, they will see something strange ... when the little wooden man comes to the corridor outside the balcony, the others have finished their breakfast and left separately. Mumin's father is the only one reading the newspaper. "Good good! So you're awake, too, "he said. "There is surprisingly little news in the newspaper today. A stream broke through the dam and drowned many ants. But the ant was saved. The first cuckoo came to the valley at four o'clock in the morning and then flew east. " (This is a good sign, but it would be better if langxi, the cuckoo, flew away ...) "Look what we found," Xiao Mu citizen Shorty proudly interrupted him. "I found a beautiful new hat for you!" Mumin's father put down the newspaper and looked at his hat carefully. Then he went to a mirror and put it on. This hat is too big for him-to tell the truth, it almost covers his eyes and looks very strange. "Mom," screamed the Xiao Mu resident shorty. "You come to see dad." Mumin's mother opened the kitchen door and looked at Mumin's father in surprise. "What do you think of me wearing this hat?" Mumin's father asked her. "Good," said Mumin's mother. "Really, you look beautiful in this hat, but it's a little big." "Is this better?" Mu Min's father pushed his hat behind his head and asked. "Well," said Mumin's mother. "That's not bad, but I think you look better without a hat." Mumin's father looked around, finally sighed and put his hat on the table. "You're right," he said. "Some people look better without hats." "Of course, Dad," Mumin's mother said softly. "Now, children, eat your eggs. You spent a winter on pine needles. You have to eat something. " She went back to the kitchen. "What about the hat?" Small suction question. "What a beautiful hat." "Use it as a wastebasket," said Mu Min's father, and then went upstairs to write his biography. This voluminous book is about his youth in its prime. ) Sniff put his hat on the floor between the table and the kitchen door. "Now you have a new piece of furniture," Xiao sniffed with a ghost eyelid, because he would never understand why people like to add things. He loves to wear the clothes he wore when he was born (no one knows when and where he was born), and the only thing he can't do without is his harmonica. "If you have finished breakfast, let's go and see what happened to Nolcke and others," said Xiao Ti Jing, a citizen of Xiao Mu. Before leaving here for the outside garden, he threw the eggshell into the wastebasket, because he is a well-behaved Woodenhead (sometimes). The dining room is empty now. In this way, the magician's hat was placed on the floor between the table and the kitchen door, and there was an eggshell inside. At this moment, a really strange thing happened. The eggshell began to deform. Look, that's what happened. If anything is left in a hat for a long time, it will become something completely different-something you would never think of beforehand. Fortunately, this hat is not suitable for Mu Min's father. Because all the protectors of small animals know that if he wears it a little longer, it will become something else-as for what it will become, you never know beforehand. But he also had a slight headache for a while-but he'll be fine after dinner. Now the eggshell is soft, like wool, but still white. After a while, it filled the whole hat. Then five little clouds floated out of the hat, onto the balcony, landed gently on the steps, and stopped there, just a little from the ground. The hat is empty. "Oh, my God," cried Shoti King, a citizen. "Is the house on fire?" Nockick asked him anxiously. Five clouds hung in front of them, motionless and no longer changing shape, as if waiting for something. Miss Nock held out her hand carefully and patted the nearest cloud. "It looks like cotton," she said in surprise. Others came forward and touched it. "It's like a little pillow," said the stream. Sniff nudged a cloud. It drifted away a little and stopped again. "Whose are they?" Small suction question. "Why are they on the balcony?" Citizen Xiao shook his head. "Of all the strange things that have happened to me, this one is the strangest," he said. "Maybe we should go in and call mom out." "No, no," said Miss Nock. "Let's find out for ourselves what this is all about." She pulled a cloud to the ground and stroked it with her hand. "So soft!" She said. In the blink of an eye, she has jumped up and down on the clouds. "Can I have one too?" Sniff, scream and jump on another cloud. "Great!" But as soon as he said the word "true", the cloud rose and made a beautiful circle on the ground. "good!" A little sniffing and screaming. "Move!" Then they all rushed to the clouds, sat on them and shouted, "Go! Go, go! " The clouds really flipped like crazy until Nock boy found a way to drive them. Step on it and the cloud will turn. Step on it with two feet and it will go forward. Shake your body gently and the clouds will slow down. They had a good time and even floated to the top of the tree and the roof of Mu Min's house. Citizen Jing shouted around his father's window: "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "He is too excited to think of a smarter way. Mu Min's father put down his memoir pen and rushed to the window. " Bless my tail: "he shouted." What could be more ridiculous than this! "You can add another chapter to your story," said citizen Xiaozijing, who drove the cloud to the kitchen window and shouted at his mother. But Mumin's mother is too busy. She just wants to fry her meatloaf. "What did you find this time, baby? "She said be careful not to fall! "But in the garden below, Miss Nock and Sniff invented a new game. They drove the clouds and collided with each other at maximum speed, but they only touched each other lightly. Whoever falls first will lose. " Look who fell this time! "Smelling, smelling, driving his cloud straight at me. Yes, Nockchik cleverly flashed by and then attacked him from below. Sniff sat on the cloud and turned over. He fell headlong on the flower bed with his hat covering his eyes. " The third round, "cried the little sucker. He is a judge, a little higher than them. "Ready, pay attention to, go! ""How about flying in the air together? "shorty, a citizen of Xiao Mu, asked Nolcke, a little girl." "Of course," she replied, flying clouds around him. Where are we going? "Let's go to Hemulun and give him a fright," suggested Xiao Jing, a citizen. They are flying around in the garden, but Hermione is not in its usual place at all. " "He can't have gone far," said Miss Nock. Last time I saw him, he was playing with stamps. ""That was six months ago, "said Xiao Mu citizen Shorty Elite." Oh, yes, "she agreed. We have been sleeping since then, haven't we? ""Did you sleep well? "Xiao Mu citizens shorty essence to her. Miss Nock floated briskly across the top of the tree and thought for a moment before answering, "I had a nightmare." Finally, she said that she dreamed of an evil man wearing a black hat and grinning at me. ""That's funny, "said Xiao Zijing, a citizen." I had the same dream. Does he also wear white gloves? " Nock little girl nodded. They walked slowly through the Woods, still thinking about it. Suddenly, they saw Hermon, who was walking with his hands behind his back and his eyes fixed on the ground. At three o'clock, citizens Xiao Di Jing and Miss Noke landed beside him and shouted happily, "Good morning!" " "alas! Oh! "Hemulen gasped." You really scared me! You shouldn't jump on me like this. ""Oh, I'm sorry, "said Miss Nock." What do you think we are riding? ""That's strange, "said Hemulen." But I'm used to you doing strange things. Besides, I am in a bad mood now. ""why? "Nock Chick asked him sympathetically." What a nice day. ""You'll never understand, "said Hemulen, shaking his head." Let's try to find out. Did citizen Shoti King say you lost another rare stamp? ""On the contrary, "Hemulen said sullenly." All the stamps, a lot. I have collected a whole set of stamps, not a single one is missing. ""Isn't that great? "Nock Chick encouraged him to say." I told you, you can't understand me at all, "Hemulen lamented. Xiao Mu resident Dwarf Essence looked anxiously at the little girl in Nolcke. They saw that the Hemulen people were sad, so they rode back a little. You Mullen walked on, respectfully waiting for him to lose his mind. At last he shouted, "There is no hope at all." After a pause, he continued, "What's the use? When I play the game of chasing paper, all the stamps I collected will be taken away by you. " "But HeMuLun! "Miss Nock said she was afraid." This is terrible! Your stamp collection is the best in the world! ""Because it is the best in the world, "Hemulen said in despair." It's over. Not a single stamp, or not a single mistake, I didn't collect. All collected. What can I do now? ""I think I'm beginning to understand now, "said Xiao Mu citizen Dwarf slowly." You're no longer a collector, but only an owner, so it's not so fun. ""It's not that it's not fun, "said the heartbroken Hemulen." It's not funny. "He stopped and turned his frowning face to them." Dear Hemulen, "Nock gently shook his hand and said," I have an idea. Why don't you collect something else-something completely new? ""It's an idea, "Hemulen admitted, but he was still sad because he felt that he shouldn't show his happiness after experiencing such great pain." How about collecting butterflies? "Xiao Mu resident gnome suggested." "No," said Hemulen, his face even more gloomy. A distant cousin of mine collects butterflies, and I won't do it if he does it. ""where's the meteor? " Nockchik said. Hemulen just snorted. "Collecting decorations? "Xiao Mu citizen shorty asked hopefully." This kind of thing will never be collected. "But Hemulen gave it two blows." "Then I really can't think of anything," said Miss Nock. "We have to come up with something for you," Hemulen, a short man from Xiao Mu, comforted him and said that his mother must have a way. Besides, have you seen muskrats? ""He is still sleeping, "Hemulen answered sadly." He said there was no need to get up so early, and I think he was right. "As he spoke, he continued to walk alone. At this time, the Xiao Mu Dwarf and Miss Noko flew to the treetops, stopped there and swayed slowly in the sun. They are thinking about what Hermione should collect. "How about collecting shells? "Miss Nock suggested." Or collect rare buttons, "said citizen Shoti King. But the warm weather makes them want to sleep, so they lie on the clouds and stare at the spring sky, where larks sing. Suddenly, they saw the first butterfly. As we all know, the first butterfly you see will have a happy summer if it is yellow, and a quiet summer if it is white. You can't see the black and brown butterflies-they're too bad. ) But this butterfly is golden. "What do you mean by seeing a golden butterfly? "Xiao Mu resident gnome said." I've never seen a golden butterfly. ""The gold one is better than the yellow one, "said Miss Nock." You wait and see! "When they went home for dinner, they met the Hemulen people on the doorstep. His face is full of joy. " Huh? "Xiao Mu citizen gnome said." What happened? ""study nature! " Hemulen shouted that I want to collect and study plants. Nock boy came up with it. I want to collect the most beautiful plant specimens in the world! "Hemulen lifted his skirt and showed everyone the first specimens he collected. There is a small onion between the soil and the leaves. ""It's called water lily, "said Hemulen proudly. The collected plant specimens are 1. A perfect specimen. "He went into the room and emptied everything on the dining table." Put them in the corner, dear Hemulen, "Muming's mother said," because I want to put the soup here. Is everyone here? Is the muskrat still sleeping? ""Sleeping like a pig, "Xiaoxi said." You had a good day today. "Mumin's mother asked everyone while serving soup on a plate." I'm so happy.
