Good evening, I'm Lazy Ting!
Today share Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale Swineherd
Once upon a time, there was a prince whose father had long since died. He owns a small kingdom. His neighbors are vast and powerful. He was also quite bold, and even sent someone to propose marriage, and said bluntly to the king's daughter: "Will you be my queen?"”
On the grave of the prince's father, there is a very special attack gem. This rose blooms only once in five years, and only one at a time. The fragrance of the flower is refreshing and intoxicating, and no matter how heavy anyone is, as long as they smell it, their sorrows and troubles will be immediately forgotten.
In addition, the prince had a nightingale, and his voice was unusually sweet, and all the beautiful music in the world seemed to be contained in his little singing voice. To show his sincerity, the prince had two delicate silver boxes made and gave roses and nightingales as gifts to the king's daughter.
The king had the gift come and bring it into the main hall, and he wanted to see it himself. As soon as the princess saw the delicate silver box, she clapped her hands with joy. "I guess one of them is a beautiful cat. As she spoke, she opened the silver box and saw that it was a rose. "How delicately this flower is!The maids said.
The princess reached out and touched the flower, "It's not made of glass, it's just an ordinary rose." ”
Don't be upset just yet, let's see what's in the other box?As he spoke, the king himself opened another silver box, and a nightingale jumped out. It crouched on the back of a chair next to the king's throne, spread its voice, and sang. "It's amazing, it's so beautiful!The maids said babblingly. "The bird's song reminds me of the late queen's music box ......”
An elderly minister said.
Just let it fly away. The princess said disappointedly, and she sent a messenger back to the prince, saying that she did not accept the proposal, and that she did not even want the prince to set foot in her father's land.
The prince was very angry when he heard the messenger's words, but he was not a man to give up easily. He painted his face black and yellow, pressed the brim of his hat low, and knocked on the door of the neighboring king's palace. "Your Majesty," said the prince, "may I be an errand boy in your palace?""Let me think," said the king, "that perhaps there is a need for a swineherd in the palace, and we have many pigs to take care of." ”
So the prince became the king's swineherd and lived in a dark little house next to the pigsty. The prince made a small iron pot with a circle of small bells on the rim of the pot, and as soon as the water in the pot boiled, the small bells jingled and played a harmonious tune.
One day, when the princess and her maids came out to play, they heard the music of the little iron pot bell from afar, and were very happy. It turned out that this "Ah, dear Augustine" was the only song she could play. "I know this tune. The princess said. "The swineherd seemed to be a cultured man. Ask him how much that instrument sells for”
A maid ran up to the pigsty and said, "Hey, how much does your singing instrument sell?"The maid asked. "Just ten kisses from the princess. The swineherd replied calmly. "What?Oh God!The maid couldn't believe her ears. "One less kiss won't work. The swineherd said calmly.
The maid returned to the princess and did not speak. "Tell me, how much does he want?"Say," the princess asked. "I, I can't say it. The maid blushed. "Why?The princess was surprised, "Then you tell me quietly." The maid drew close to the princess's ear and spoke the swineherd's request. "What a bummer!The princess's face flushed slightly, and she turned and left. After walking a few steps, the familiar music tinkled again, and it seemed even more beautiful. The princess stopped, the music was so provocative that she didn't want to give up.
The maids surrounded the princess and the pig and spread their skirts. The swineherd kissed the princess ten times, and the princess was given the little cauldron that could play music, and the cauldron brought happiness to the princess.
The prince was a very clever man, so he thought about making a rattle. This rattle is so cleverly made that if you shake it, you will hear waltzes, polkas, and so on continuously, and you won't help but want to dance along. "Wow, this toy is even better!".The princess said, and ordered the maid to go over and ask how much it would cost. "He asked the princess to give him a hundred kisses!The maid replied generously to the princess. "I think this swineherd must be crazy!The princess turned around and left. But after a few steps, he stopped hesitantly, and said, "Go and tell him that he will get ten of my kisses, and that my maid will give him the rest." ”
The swineherd replied, "As long as the princess's hundred kisses, otherwise the rattle will not be sold." "Then surround me!"This time the princess was very decisive. The kiss between Inoshin and the princess begins. "One, two, three, four......The maids were busy counting. The king stood on the balcony and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of activity near the pigsty. The king put on one of his loafers and went downstairs to inspect them.
The ladies were busy counting, and no one noticed that the king was approaching. The king walked behind the ladies and stood on tiptoe to look into the circle. At this glance, I was immediately furious.
By this time, the pig coffin had already received eighty-six kisses. "Fuck me off!The king was furious and roared aloud. He drove the swineherd out of the palace with the princess. God didn't help, it happened to rain heavily, and their clothes were soaked, the princess was crying, and the swineherd was complaining. "I regret it," said the princess, sobbing, "if I had accepted the prince's proposal, so much would not have happened!."”
The swineherd went behind a large tree, wiped the paint off his face, changed into a magnificent royal robe, and then stood before the princess. He looked noble and handsome, and was feared by the present day, and the princess hurried to salute him. "I look down on you a little," said the prince, "and you don't want the upright and noble prince."Rare roses and nightingales you don't know how to appreciate in order to get a toy, but kiss the swineherd regardless of your identity. Goodbye, poor princess!"The prince returned to his kingdom. And what about the princess!Still standing there dumbfounded, she sang sadly: "Oh, my dear Augustine, it's all over, it's all done......”
