The Twelve Oxen 十二头牛

The Twelve Oxen

There were twelve brothers who fell out with their father, and all twelve of them left home They built themselves a house in the woods and made their living as carpenters Meanwhile their parents had a baby girl, who was a great comfort to them The child grew up without ever meeting her twelve brothers She had only heard them mentioned, and she longed to see them

One day she went to bathe at a fountain, and the first thing she did was remove her coral necklace and hang it on a twig A raven came by, grabbed the necklace, and flew off with it The girl ran into the woods after the raven and found her brothers' house No one was at home, so she cooked the noodles, spooned them onto the brothers' plates, and hid under a bed The brothers returned and, finding the noodles ready and waiting, sat down and ate But then they grew uneasy, suspecting the witches had played a joke on them, for the woods were full of witches

One of the twelve kept watch the next day and saw the girl jump out from under the bed When the brothers learned she was not a witch but their own little sister, they made a great to-do over her and insisted that she remain with them But they cautioned her to speak to no one in the woods, because the place was full of witches

One evening when the girl went to prepare supper, she found that the fire had gone out To save time, she went to a nearby cottage to get a light An old woman at the cottage graciously gave her the light, but said that, in exchange, she would come to the girl on the morrow and suck a bit of blood from her little finger

"I can't let anyone in the house," said the girl "My brothers forbid it"

"You don't even have to open the door," replied the old woman "When I knock, all you have to do is stick your little finger through the keyhole, and I'll suck it" So the old woman came by every evening to suck the blood from her, while the girl grew paler and paler Her brothers noticed it and asked her so many questions that she admitted going to an old witch for a light and having to pay for it with her blood "Just let us take care of her," said the brothers

The witch arrived, knocked, and when the girl failed to stick her finger through the keyhole, she poked her head through the cat door One of the brothers had his hatchet all ready and chopped off her head Then they pitched the remains into a ravine One day on the way to the fountain, the girl met another old woman, who was selling white bowls

"I have no money," said the girl

"In that case I'll make you a present of them," said the old woman

So when the brothers came home thirsty, they found twelve bowels filled with water They pitched in and drank, and instantly changed into a herd of oxen Only the twelfth, whose thirst was slight, barely touched the water and turned into a lamb The sister therefore found herself alone with eleven oxen and one lamb to feed every day

A prince out hunting went astray in the woods and, turning up at the girl's house, fell in love with her He asked her to marry him, but she replied that she had to think of her oxen brothers and couldn't possibly leave them The prince took her to

his palace along with all the brothers The girl became his princess bride, and the eleven oxen and the lamb were put into a marble barn with gold mangers

But the witches in the woods did not give up One day the princess was strolling under the grape arbor with her lambkin brother that she always carried with her, when an old woman walked up to her

"Will you give me a bunch of grapes, my good princess?"

"Yes, dear old soul, help yourself"

"I can't reach up that high, please pick them for me"

"Right away," said the princess, reaching up for a bunch

"Pick that bunch there, they're the ripest," said the old woman, pointing to a bunch above the cistern

To reach it, the princess had to stand on the rim of the cistern The old woman gave her a push, and the princess fell in The lamb started bleating, and bleated all around the cistern, but nobody understood what it was bleating about, nor did they hear the princess moaning down in the well Meanwhile the witch had taken the princess's shape and got into her bed When the prince came home, he asked, "What are you doing in bed?"

"I'm sick," said the false princess "I need to eat a morsel of lamb Slaughter me that one out there that won't stop bleating"

"Didn't you tell me some time ago," asked the prince, "that the lamb was your brother? And you want to eat him now?"

The witch had blundered and was at a loss for words The prince, sensing that something was amiss, went into the garden and followed the lamb that was bleating so pitifully It approached the cistern, and the prince heard his wife calling

"What are you doing at the bottom of the cistern?" he exclaimed "Didn't I just leave you in bed?"

"No, I've been down here ever since this morning! A witch threw me in!"

The prince ordered his wife pulled up at once The witch was caught and burned at the stake While the fire burned, the oxen and also the lamb slowly turned back into fine, strapping young men, and you'd have thought the castle had been invaded by a band of giants They were all made princes, while I've stayed as poor a soul as ever

NOTES:

"The Twelve Oxen" (I dodici buoi) from Comparetti, 47, Monferrato, Piedmont

The folktales about the sister who rescues her brother or brothers changed into animals can be divided into two groups: the one where the seven sons are under a curse (as in Basile, IV, 8, or in Grimm, 9 and 25), and the other where the sole brother is transformed into a lamb (as in Grimm, 11, or in my no 178) The brothers are most commonly transformed into birds (swans, ravens, doves), and the first literary manifestation of the motif dates back to the twelfth century; the latest is possibly Andersen's "Wild Swans"

十二头牛

从前有十二个兄弟，跟父亲吵架后，一起离开了家。他们在森林里搭起了一座房屋，以做木匠活为生。父母又生了一个女儿，她成了二老生活的寄托。小妹长大了，她只是听说过十二个哥哥的事，但从没跟他们见过面，她非常渴望能见到他们。

有一次，小妹到泉水边洗澡，她先把自己戴的珊瑚项链摘了下来挂在了一根树枝上。正好有一只乌鸦飞过，叼起项链飞走了。小妹追着乌鸦跑进了森林，遇到了哥哥们住的那座房屋。屋里一个人也没有，小妹煮好一锅面条，盛在盘子中，就钻到床下躲起来。十二兄弟回到家，看到面条已经煮好了，而且还给盛在盘子中，就吃了起来。吃完以后，他们都有些害怕，担心是女巫跟他们开的一个玩笑，因为这片森林里有很多女巫。

第二天，十二兄弟留下一个人守着房间，他发现一个姑娘从床底下跳了出来。当兄弟们知道她并非女巫而是他们从没见过面的小妹时，都高兴地欢呼起来，他们想让小妹留下来跟他们一起生活。但他们又叮嘱她，不得和森林中的任何人说话，因为林子里满是女巫。

一天傍晚，炉火灭了，可小妹要给哥哥们准备晚饭。为了节省时间，她来到附近的一间小屋借火。小屋中住着一个老妇，她很热情地答应借火给小妹，但提出了交换条件：第二天她要来在小妹的小手指上吸一点血。

小妹说：“我不能给任何人开门，我的哥哥们不同意。”

老妇说：“不需要你开门，当你听到敲门声，把小手指伸进钥匙孔里，让我吸几下就行了。”就这样，老妇每天晚上都来吸小妹的血，小妹的脸色变得越来越苍白。哥哥们觉得不对劲，就问小妹，小妹就把她为了找女巫借火，让女巫吸她的血作交换的事说了。哥哥们说：“这事让我们处理吧。”

女巫又来了，敲门后没看到姑娘的手指伸出来，女巫就从门下方的猫洞伸进头来。一个哥哥拿着一把斧头正等着她呢，手起斧落，女巫的头就被砍了下来。然后兄弟们把女巫的尸首扔下了山谷。

一天，小妹去泉边遇到了另一个老妇，在卖白色的碗。

“我没有钱买。”姑娘说。

“我白送给你。”老妇说。

就这样，哥哥们口干舌燥地回到家时，一眼就看见了盛满了水的十二只白碗，他们纷纷一饮而尽，一下子全都变成了牛。只有第十二个哥哥，不像其它哥哥那么渴，只喝了一口水，变成了一只羊。小妹只好孤单地跟这十一头牛和一只羊一起生活，每天喂养牠们。

这一天，一个王子来森林打猎迷了路，转到小妹的房屋，爱上了她。王子告诉她想要娶她为妻，而她回答说她必须带上她的十二只牛哥羊哥，不能丢下牠们不管。王子带着她和她的十二个兄长回到了王宫，小妹成了他的新娘王妃，那十一头牛和一只羊被安排住进一间大理石砌成的牛棚，用着金子做的食槽。但森林中的女巫并不甘心。有一天，王妃带着羊哥哥--她总是带着牠在身边--到葡萄架下散步，出现了一位老妇。

“好心的王妃，你能赏我一串葡萄吗？”

“好的，老太太，你随便摘吧。”王妃回答。

“我构不到葡萄架，好心的王妃，你帮我摘吧。”

“这就来。”王妃说着，伸出手去摘一串葡萄。

“摘那边那串熟透的吧。”老妇指着池塘上边的那串葡萄说。

王妃为了摘到那串葡萄，爬上池塘的边墙，这时，老妇上去推了她一把，王妃就摔了下去。羊哥一见，咩咩地围着池塘叫，但谁也不明白牠在叫什么，也听不到池塘下边王妃的呻吟声。这时，女巫变成王妃的样子，躺在床上。王子回到家，问：“怎么躺在床上，不舒服吗？”

假王妃回答说：“我不舒服，我需要吃一些羊肉。你让人把那只叫个不停的羊给我宰了。”王子说：“你还记得你以前对我说的话吗？你说那只羊是你的哥哥，而你现在却要把牠吃了？”

女巫露出了马脚！她愣在那里不知说什么才好。王子发现事有蹊跷，他来到花园，跟着那只拚命叫着的羊向池塘走去。到了池塘边，王子听见妻子呼唤他的声音。王子惊叫道：“你怎么到池塘底下了，刚才你还在床上，我不是刚离开你吗？”

“不，我从早上就掉到这里了，是一个女巫把我推下来了。”

王子立即把妻子救了上来。他派人抓住了女巫，而且要烧死她。随着火一点点烧到女巫的手上、腿上、肘上，一头牛变回了人，另一头也变回了人，所有的牛和羊都变回了人，他们全都很健壮，好象一队威武的巨人闯入了城堡。他们全都被封为亲王，而我还跟以前一样是一个穷困潦倒的人。

小学生英语童话故事篇一 The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 小学生英语童话故事篇二 Apelles meeting with the little ass1 invited him to tea that very right. The little ass was trembling with delight. He prances2 through the wood; he pesters3 all who pass: 'Apelles bores me so. He will not let me be, you know! Whenever him I see, he asks me in to tea. I'm sure he wants to paint a Pegasus from me.' 'Oh no!' Apelles said as he happened to be near, 'I am painting the judgment4 of King Midas. I'm acquainting with you because you seem to boast the proper length of ear. So if you'll come to tea, most happy I shall be. For long-eared asses5 are not rare, but with the ears that you can show, no little or big ass either ever could compare!' Consumed with vanity, the fool admires himself for that which others ridicule6, and often makes a boast of that which ought to shame him most. 小学生英语童话故事篇三 A little panda picks up a pumpkin1 and wants to take it home.

小学英语 英语故事(童话故事)The Puppet Showman 演木偶戏的人

The Puppet Showman 演木偶戏的人 On board the steamer was an elderly man with such a joyful face that if it didn't belie him he must have been the happiest person on earth. In fact, he said he was the happiest; I heard it from his own mouth. He was a Dane, a countryman of mine, and a traveling theatrical producer. His whole company was with him and lay in a large box, for he was the proprietor of a puppet show. He said that his natural cheerfulness had been enlightened by a Polytechnic student, and the experiment had left him completely happy. At first I didn't understand what he meant, but later he explained the whole thing to me, and here is the story. "In the town of Slagelse," he said, "I gave a performance in the post-office courtyard before a brilliant audience, all juvenile except for two old matrons. Suddenly a person in black, looking like a student, entered the hall and sat down; he laughed at the right places and applauded appropriately. He was an unusual spectator. I was anxious to know who he was, and I learned that he was a student from the Polytechnic Institute of Copenhagen who had been sent out to teach the people in the provinces. My performance ended promptly at eight o'clock, for children must go to bed early, and a manager must consider the convenience of his public. At nine o'clock the student began his lecture and experiments, and now I was one of his spectators. It was all extraordinary to hear and see. Most of it went over my head and into the parson's, as one says, but it made me think that if we mortals can learn so much we must surely be intended to last longer than the little span we're here on earth. What he performed were miracles, and though only small ones, everything was done as easily as a foot fits into a stocking, as naturally as nature functions. In the days of Moses and the prophets such a man would have been counted among the wise men of the land; in the Middle Ages he would have been burned at the stake. I didn't sleep that whole night. And the next evening, when I gave another performance, and the student was again present, I was in an exuberantly good humor. I once heard from an actor that when he played the part of a lover he always thought of one particular lady in the audience; he played only to her and forgot the rest of the house. Now the Polytechnic student was my 'she,' my only spectator, for whom alone I performed. "After the performance, when the puppets had taken their curtain calls, the Polytechnic student invited me into his room to have a glass of wine; he spoke of my plays, and I spoke of his science, and I think we were equally pleased. But I had the better of it, for there was much of what he did that he couldn't explain to me. For instance, a piece of iron that falls through a spiral becomes magnetic. Now why does that happen? The spirit enters it, but where does it come from? It is just as it is with the humans in our world, I think; our Lord lets them fall through the spiral line of time; the spirit enters them, and there then stands a Napoleon, a Luther, or some such person. 'The whole world is a series of miracles,' said the student, 'but we're so used to them that we call them everyday things.' And he continued talking and explaining until finally my skull seemed lifted from my brain, and I honestly confessed that if I weren't already an old fellow I would at once

She begged him repeatedly to have some consideration for her comfort, but the grasshopper, if anything, only chirped6 the louder. At last the owl could stand it no longer, but determined7 to rid herself of the pest by means of a trick. Addressing herself to the grasshopper, she said in her pleasantest manner, "As I cannot sleep for your song, which, believe me, is as sweet as the notes of Apollos lyr., I have a mind to taste some nectar, which Minerva gave me the other day. Wont you come in and join me?" The grasshopper was flattered by the praise of his song, and his mouth, too, watered at the mention of the delicious

小学英语英语故事(童话故事)TheTeapot茶壶

The Teapot 茶壶 There was a proud Teapot, proud of being made of porcelain, proud of its long spout and its broad handle. It had something in front of it and behind it; the spout was in front, and the handle behind, and that was what it talked about. But it didn't mention its lid, for it was cracked and it was riveted and full of defects, and we don't talk about our defects - other people do that. The cups, the cream pitcher, the sugar bowl - in fact, the whole tea service - thought much more about the defects in the lid and talked more about it than about the sound handle and the distinguished spout. The Teapot knew this. "I know them," it told itself. "And I also know my imperfections, and I realize that in that very knowledge is my humility and my modesty. We all have many defects, but then we also have virtues. The cups have a handle, the sugar bowl has a lid, but of course I have both, and one thing more, one thing they can never have; I have a spout, and that makes me the queen of the tea table. The sugar bowl and the cream pitcher are permitted to be serving maids of delicacies, but I am the one who gives forth, the adviser. I spread blessings abroad among thirsty mankind. Inside of me the Chinese leaves give flavor to boiling, tasteless water." This was the way the Teapot talked in its fresh young life. It stood on the table that was prepared for tea and it was lifted up by the most delicate hand. But that most delicate hand was very awkward. The Teapot was dropped; the spout broke off, and the handle broke off; the lid is not worth talking about; enough has been said about that. The Teapot lay in a faint on the floor, while the boiling water ran out of it. It was a great shock it got, but the worst thing of all was that the others laughed at it - and not at the awkward hand. "I'll never be able to forget that!" said the Teapot, when later on it talked to itself about its past life. "They called me an invalid, and stood me in a corner, and the next day gave me to a woman who was begging for food. I fell into poverty, and was speechless both outside and inside, but as I stood there my better life began. One is one thing and then becomes quite another. They put earth in me, and for a Teapot that's the same as being buried, but in that earth they planted a flower bulb. Who put it there and gave it to me, I don't know; but it was planted there, a substitution for the Chinese leaves and the boiling water, the broken handle and spout. And the bulb lay in the earth, inside of me, and it became my heart, my living heart, a thing I never had before. There was life in me; there were power and might; my pulse beat. The bulb put out sprouts; thoughts and feeling sprang up and burst forth into flower. I saw it, I bore it, and I forgot myself in its beauty. It is a blessing to forget oneself in others! "It didn't thank me, it didn't even think of me - everybody admired it and praised it. It made me very happy; how much more happy it must have made it! "One day I heard them say it deserved a better pot. They broke me in two - that really hurt - and the flower was put into a better pot; then they threw me out into the yard, where I lie as an old potsherd. But I have my memory; that I can never lose!"
